EIGHT CENTS FOR FINEST GRADES
THE PRICE IN AMERICUS.

Eight cents for good middling cotton
is the top level price which Americus
warehousemen are selling the fleecy
staple today This is the highest point
to which cotton values have reached
since the European war was launched
and comes as blessing to the South
where millions of bales are still held,
awaiting a market. Through the grace
of Great Britain that boon has now
come to the farmers here.
With the opening of ocean traffic the
demand for cotton has Increased by
leaps and bounds. American mills are
not buying, but Germany and England
are scrambling for the South's product
and paying top prices.
In the Americus market values have
advanced nearly half cent since Mon
day morning. Fine cotton will readily
bring ga cents to s cents today but
there is very little demand, warehouse
men say, for the poor grades, which
make up the bulk of the $4,000 bales
held in the warehouses of Americus.
This morning the May option scared
as high as S.9S cents and at noon was
steady at few points below that top
notch figure.
Eight cents seems to be a satisfac-
tory price to many of the farmers who
are willing to sell at that price and
use the cash in putting in their spring
crops and paying up their debts, said
one local cotton man today "The out
look is bright and indications point to
stead~ market around cents FOR
several days"
One lot of $50 bales, sold late yester-
day afternoon, brought satisfactory
prices, some of it eight cents.

GERMANS RESUME
OFFENSIVE YPRES
(By Associated Press.)

AMSTERDAM, Jan. l9.-Another
attempt to hammer a path through
the Allies lines near Ypres is well
under way today, heavy artillery fir
ing being plainly heard in that direc-
tions and deserters reaching Sluis near
the Dutch border, says the Germans
have determined to push forward.
The German offensive action began
early Monday when the heavy guns
tegan bombarding the British posi-
tions, but infantry charges were not
resorted to until today. Sapping oper-
ations and mine explosions featured
activities in that region during yester-
day, both armies employing these
methods with partial success.
Thousands of fresh troops have ar
rived at Ypres from the British con-
centration camps further back and
these heavy reinforcements have so
far repulsed every effort of the Ger
mans to advance. Losses on both sides
have been heavy.

(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Jan. 19.-Though British
and French newspapers alike discuss
the probability of fresh German at
tempt to break through the French line
barring the way to Paris today the
Germans have failed to follow up re-
cent successes about Scissors, where
Gen. Joffres army was forced to retire
after some of the heaviest fighting yet
featuring the war.
The German army remained inactive
beyond the river Aisne throughout to-
day, the only activity thereabout being
last night when bombardment last
ing about four hours was directed
against st. Paul. 1t is not believed,
however, that fighting around scissors
has ended, and military men expect
further news from that region to show
many desperate encounters before
decisive victory is gained by either
army.
Heavy reinforcements have been
rushed to this new center of activities
by both German and French command
ers, and the forthcoming engagement
there promises to be participated in
by much larger number of troops
than took part in last weeks fight
ing.
AS Russias menace to Hungary
grows reports are again revived that

submit to any sacrifice in order to
avoid Russian invasion of that coun-
try, and with Grand Duke Nicholas ar
my constantly pouring through the
Carpathian passes, considerable color
is added these reports.
