PARIS, April 3O.-An unnamed
number of German warships have
been sighted off the Belgian coast, ac-
cording to the French official state
men issued early today, ana the state
ment adds that during yesterday Dun
kirk was subjected a bombardment by
vessels Of the hostile fleet. Nineteen
shells of large calibre fell in the town,
killing twenty persons and wounding
forty-fve others. Numerous homFs
were destroyed by the shells and the
property damage was large.
Numerous dispatches from authentic
sources last week indicated that Ger

SUMTER'S WHEAT
CROP IMPROVES
QUITE RECENTLY
RAIN AFFORDED RELIEF JUST IN
THE NICK OF TINE

Americus consumers should rejoice
in the fact that rains this week came
just in time to save the wheat crop CT
Sumter county, thus insuring cheaper
and better biscuit ere long. Since the
rains two days ago both wheat and
oats have revived considerably, and
while the oat crop will be materially
reduced by the protracted drought
the wheat crop, less susceptible, will
pan out very we'll.
1t is estimated that about 1900
acres are planted in wheat in Sumter
this year. and the crop will be an i'm
portant one, in view of the high price
of flour.
The largest wheat field in the coun-
ty, that of 500 acres on the Aries
farm, near Americus, promises an ex-
cellent crop. There is also field o,
600 acres of oats on this farm which
will yield well, despite the drought.
This field of near 1900 acres of wav-
ing grain, oats and wheat, presents a
pleasing spectacle and denotes pros
perity here in Sumter county.
Out near the city Mr.. ]. H. Poole
has field of five measured acres in
wheat, which is his pride just now.
Already the grain is three feet in
height, well fruited, and promises
yield of at least forty bushels per
acre The crop was grown without
the use of a pound of fertilizer, and
follows several successive crops Of
peavine hay, evidencing it's value as a
general land fertilizer.
If Sumter can produce a wheat crop
of even $4,000 bushels this year, It
will serve to put a crimp in the -four
trust, so far as this community is
concerned.

BOOSTING ROUTE
COUNCIL TO LEND FINANCIAL AID
IN ADVERTISING PLAN.

Americas, as will every city and
town from Fort Valley to ThOmasville,
will be very much ION the map in
reality when on May 10 the highway
commissioners again assemble at
Chattanooga for the purpose of further
cor sidering the route of the proposed
Hoosier Land to Dixie Highway. The
logical route through Georgia, or that
large portion of it from Macon to
Tallahassee, Fla, is via Americus, and
a determined effort is gong 20 be made
to impress this fact upon the state
commissioners at Chattanooga
Attractive scenery, good hotels, fine
concrete bridges and other
features of interest will be given con-
sideration, and right there the Ander-
nville-Thomasville route is going to
shine.
A well directed movement is on foot
to have photographs made, at once, OF
street scenes, peach orchards, pecan
groves, attractive farms, fine hotels
and other objects calculated to inter
est tourists from the north. These
views will be made at
all points between Fort Valley and
Thomasville, and will constitute
handsome volume. The photos, with
short descriptive articles, will be en-
bodied in book form and a copy,
bound, presented each of
the commissioners.
Every town along the Andersonville-
highway, including Ft.
Valley, Marshallville, Montezuma.
Oglethorpe, Americus, Smithville.
Leesburg, Albany, ThomasYille, Miegs
and other towns intermediate, have
been assessed a reasonable amount to
defray the expense of getting up this
handsome volume. All of the towns
have responded favorably, and the task
of taking Photographic views and COM
piling interesting data is progressing.
The Americas city council has fav-
orably discussed the proposed plan
and voted an amount that will put
Ameriucs and Sumter on the highway
map through Dixie.

(By Associated Press.)

HAVRE, April 30.-The virtual ami
of 1000 Germans who crossed
the Ypres canal over a pontoon bridge
near Steenstraite during the recent
fighting there, is described by the
Vingtiem Siecy, an afternoon newspa-
per today. Belgian artillery destroy
ed the bridge" says the newspaper ac-
count of the affair, "and showered the
invaders with shrapnel, the result be-
ing that many of the Germans tied
handkerchiefs to their bayonets and
raised these in token of surrender. -
The Belgian artillerymen then ceased
firing, writes the correspondent who
the scene, and the German
quick firers poured a hail of lead into
their comrades, moving them down
pitilessly. Many of the survivors, who
saved their lives only by throwing
themselves on the ground during the
furious German fusilades, were later
made prisoners by the Belgians.

British Fleet Weakened.


Popular opinion is that the dispatch
ing of such powerful armada to the
Dardanelles has perceptibly lessened
the fighting efficiency of the British
squadron guarding the entrances to
the North Sea, and encouraged by this
fact the German naval commanders
have in all probability determined I'd
give battle to the British dreadnaughts
and settle, once and for all time, the
supremacy of the seas. Germany al
ready is sorely in need of certain sup
plies, notably tin, which cannot be
procured while England maintains its
control of navigation in North Sea
waters, and this is an added reason
for the determination to try eoneIus-
ions with the great feet of warships
assembled at the beginning of the
European war, and which contains
many of the finest dreadnaughts of
both the French and English navies-
Seven months has Germany waited
within fortified harbors and in the
vicinity of their naval bases at Heligg-
land and Kiel, for the British navy to
dig them OUT, but the attempt has
never been made One or two cOstly
brushes have occurred whenever Ger
man warships crept out of their hid
ing places and attempted raids upon
the English coast, but always have
the English vessels dropped the
chase of these raiders long before
the mine fields surrounding Heligolani
and the entire German coast vera
reached. Now the situation is reeers-
ed. Seven months of inaction has
the desire of German naval
to meet the enemy. The
German public has complained of the
failure of the feet to control the seas
and keep Germany's ports open to
the commerce of neutral nations, ano
Emperor Wilhelm and his advisers
have concluded to seek out and de-
stroy the enemy" as the British high
seas fleet admiral received orders to
10 months ago.
The battle will, in all probability
be fought between an inferior British
'orce and the flower of the GSeculasG
lavy, but the battle-ground viii be-
selected by the British, and the Ger
nan warships, if they do attack xEe
British will do so in a mine 6sId
where every movement adds to the
langer of the squadron, and where

in that section. The hostile feet is
suspected of having slipped in through
the Kiel canal from the Baltic where
the German naval base is located,
while the British squadron was busy
watching the movements of German
warships in the vicinity of Heligoland.
| Whether it is the intention of the Ger
man squadron to give battle to the
English warships or to scurry back to
cover as soon as attacked, is a matter
of interesting speculation here.

ALLIES CLAIM
ADVANCES At
DARDANELLES
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, April 30.-Marked prog
ress by the allies in their efforts to
win the Dardanelles by land opera
tions is claimed here late this after
noon, but today's Turkish official re-
port denies the authenticity of these
claims, declaring the allies, both on
land and sea, have sustained reverses
of Importance.
A newspaper dispatch from Athens
to Paris at 2:20 o'clock states British
troops have occupied the city of CALI
poll on the European side of the Dar-
danelles where the straits flow out OF
the Sea of Marmora. This, if true,
gives the allies possession of the
entire peninsula, effectually cutting
off all communication between Con-
stantinople and the European forts on
the shores of the narrows. A strong
feet occupying the Gulf of Saros pre-
vents the transportation of supplies
by way of Bullair from the main
land, and the only source from which
additional ammunition and supplies
can now be obtained by the European
forts is from the Sinia Peninsula,
where a French army, commanded by
General D'Armade, is fighting its way
toward Niagara, which commands the
passage of the straits.
The allied warships have heavily
the Turkish positions on
the Asiatic side of the straits during
the past twelve hours, the forts at
Nagura, fifteen miles within the en-
trance of the Dardanelles and at the
larrowest point of the waterway, be-
ng especially singled out by the at
acking warships. The damage in
licted, it is stated, was serious, but
he total demolition of the strong
lold at that point is yet far from
Russians Renew Offensive.
In Russian Poland, where sucn
leavy ighing marked Won linden
,urg's repeated attempts to capture
Warsaw, Russian troops have resumed
vigorous offensive and are exerting
leavy pressure upon the German ar
MES occupying that portion of Rus
las territory. With the strengthen
ng of the Teuton armies in Belgium
nd Flanders, and the transfer of
whole division to the Carpathian
ront has weakened the German forces
ow in Poland and a retirement in
hat area is anticipated within the
1eek.
Petrograd dispatches, late this af-
ernoon, indicate the Germans are be-
lining a general offensive along the
ntire East Prussian border, where the
ecent drive toward Ossowetz failed
fter the retreat of the Russian Tenth
rmy from the Mazurian Lakes coun-
