acquired it while the genial doctor
was looking at the movies at the opera

LONDON, March S.-Following pc
riod Of of several days during which
interest in the war in the east center
ed about the effort to reduce the Turk
sh forts defending the Dardanelles,
attention shifts today with the an
nouncement from Petrograd that an
other great battle is developing ii
the north of Poland and that momen
tous events are anticipated in that
area during the next few days. The
big battle upon which all interest now
concentrates is developing along the
left bank of the Vistula, southwest of
Warsaw, where severe weather con-
ditions recently forced an abandon
ment of the Russian offensive and
opened the way to Won Hindenburg'3
troops to bring up heavy artillery and
other military supplies that are ex-
pected TO play an important role in
the forthcoming operations.
Today's dispatches from both Ber-
lin and Petrograd agree that tre
mendous action is certain to occur in
the region referred to, but these ad-
vices fail to indicate clearly which
army has taken the offensive. Inspir-
ed advices from Petrograd during sew
eral days past have indicated that
only upon the old field of action about
Poem, Silesia, alone could serve as a
decisive battle front, while Berlin cor
respondents have been predicting an
other brilliant action in the direction
of Warsaw.
On the banks of lthe Rawa, during
Sunday brilliant action is reported by
Berlin. These dispatches report 5000
Russians having been taken prisoners,
but confirmation of the report from
Petrograd is lacking. At other points
along the eastern battle front, there
has been noticeable inaction during
the past twelve hours.
In the west, today's fighting con-
sisted entirely of attacks and counter
attacks at numerous unnamed points,
neither army scoring a decisive sue
ces during any of these engagements,
and losses being reported as trivial.
In the near east, the action of the
Allied feet now engaged in reducing
the forts guarding the passage of the
Dardanelles has caused grave fears
among Balkan nations, one or more OF
which may enter the war at any timt.
In the Greece, the situation IS so Sc
rious, as to have produced cabinet
crisis, though no new ministry has yet
been formed.

Uncle Sam Again Proposes to Take Il
Hand in Mexican Trouble - Some
Officials Advocate Immediate Use of
Force to Put an End to Further
Uprisings.
(By Associated t'ress.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March s.
New urgent representations amoun.
ing practically to warning have been
sent by the United States to Gen. We
nustiano Carranza, demanding imme-
date improvement of conditions pre-
vailing in Mexico City.
Announcement that such note had
been despatched to the Mexican capt
tai was made this afternoon at the
state department and in diplomatic
circles the statement attracted much
attention. Members of the corps ac-
credited to the United States govern
ment who were made acquainted with
the contens of the note which Ameri-
can Consul Silliman has been in
structed to lay before Carranza, in
terpret the communication as fore
casting a complete reversal of policy
by the United States with respect to
Mexican affairs. Those who knew the
contents of the communication stated
this afternoon that no threat was con-
aimed therein, but serious conse-
quences likely to follow a disregard OF
the American note was. set forth IT,
explicit language The welfare of for
eigner residents of Mexico is espec-
tally referred to in the note, the Car
rama government being put on no.
tice that the rights and privileges of
such residents must be respected, or
reprisals may be ordered by this gov
ernment.
The note, it is generally conceded
in diplomatic circles, contained the
strongest representations yet made to
any Mexican faction upon behalf of
foreign residents in that country, and
it is believed the effect of the COM
munication will be salutory. Interest
in affairs at Mexico City has been con-
siderably revived by the despatching
of the United States note and great
est attention is now being directed to
affairs transpiring in Mexico. Just
before American troops were sent 20
occupy Vera ruz this interest prevail
ed here, but since then little atte1-
tion has been paid to Mexican affairs.

Within the next few days the base
ball MS of Americus will say whether
or not Americus is to have baseball
this season. The matter of support
ing league team will be definitely
decided by them
This afternoon committee of the
directors are making a canvas of the
city to see just where each of the
fans stand. The money to finance the
club must be forthcoming.
The directors of the club want 10
see Americus continue in the Georgia
State. They are anxious to give
Americus pennant-winner. But it
takes money to do all this.
Americus has practically close
with man to manage the club. c
soon as possible he will be brought [.
Americus and will direct the seleB
tion of recruits from here. All this
takes money.
So there you are. The ball club
needs money.
Not to pay off last years debt. That
has been cared for by the twenty men
who guaranteed baseball last sea-
son.
1t is needed to give Americus base
ball during 1915.
The committee will call on you to-
day or tomorrow and solicit your
subscription. Help them out.
Remember, Americas cannot afford
to take a backward step. A rumor
from Cordele to the effect that they
sold their franchise knowing Americus
would drop out, too, has reached here.
It's a nervy rumor from the little viii
lag,e, and Americas cannot afford to
even let them believe it for a min
ute.
Arrangements will be made so that
will be payable month
ly. This will enable everyone inter-
estsd in baseball to help.
This will also enable everyone in
terefted in the advancement OF
Americus to help. Membership in
baseball league is fine advertising for
a city.
Americus cannot afford to fall down
at this late period.
So get busy. Reach down in your
jeans and hand over your contribu-
ton.
