The Ladies Benevolent Aid Society,

BILE work in Americus in looking after
the needs of poor, sick and unfortu-

buttons wherewith to carry on imme-

public to this end. Through two of the
active officers, Mrs. E. B. Everett and
Mrs. R. P. Stackhouse, report is made
today of four greatly distressed white
families actually in mead of food,
clothing and medicines, while in two
instances these families will be dis
possessed of homes unless arrears in
house-rent is paid. All are most de-
serving white families, and their dis
tressed condition appeals strongly to
humane citizens. Food must be had
today for these hungry people; they
cannot be permitted to suffer. Mrs.
or Mrs. Everett will glad
ly receive any gifts of meat, bread or
other groceries, fruits or whatever will
relieve hunger, while little cash for
past due house-rent will be thankfully

tions sent these ladies', or to the

This treaty, it is asserted, would re-

ritory so acquired is not to be fortified
A definition of Italy's right within the
Adriatic is said also to be incorporat-

BIC PRIZE FIGHT
LAW PROHIBITS IMPOR-
TATION OF FIGHT FILMS FROM
FOREIGN COUNTRY-LAW PASS.
ED SHORTLY AFTER JEFFRIES
JOHNSON FIGHT AT RENO
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., April T.
Persons throughout the United States
who had hoped to see the Willard
Johnson prize fight films, will be dis.
appointed in their ambition. This
statement is based on the fact that a
federal law not only forbids the in
terstate transportation of fight films
manufactured within the United States,
but likewise places a bann upon the
imhcrtation of such films from for.
eign countries.
Tie law forbidding traffic in fight
films was passed by congress during
1910, shortly after the Jeffries-John-
son fight at Reno, New, and was the
elimination of an agitation started
against the fighting game at that
time. Southern congressman, espec-
tally urged the passage of the mes
ure, their position being taken upon
the assumption that to display pic
lures of prize fight between a white
man and negro might result in dis
turbances between the races. The pas
sage of the law materially lessened
the value of the moving pictures TAX
en- at that time, and none of the ilms
have ever been exhibited in the Unir-
ed States.

LONDON, April Tile French are
making desperate attempt to break
through the German positions in the
Meuse district, according to reports
from there, that reached here today az
noon. Reports from Berlin ana l'arrs
as to the battle differ.
Paris announces that the Germans
have been pushed back at several
points and that the French are meet

sive has been successful since early
morning, they state.
Berlin denies this version of the re-
ports and states that the fighting there
has been favorable to the Germans.
The French have lost heavily, accord
ing to the Berlin report. The battle
field is strewn with dead and mortally
wounded, and the French have been
repulsed in every attack.
London is anxiously awaiting further
news from the Meuse, as this battle
may mark the opening of the general
spring campaign planned by the Allies.

drastic restrictions on the consump-
ton of intoxicating liquors was ex-
pected to follow today's cabinet meet
ing, though total prohibition is not
expected to be decreed by the cabi-
net.
Sentiment is undoubtedly over
Whelmingly favorable to total prohi-
bition, but the cabinet, with a regard
for the personal liberty of which all
Englishnlen are so proud, probably
feels that antagonism engendered by
such a step might prove Troublesome,
and parliament will be called upon to
finally decide the issue. Meanwhile
the sale and use of liquors is to be re-
stricted by proclamation under the
Safety of the Realm act which empow-
ers the government with extraordi-
nary authority in time of war.
In the Carpathians, which is now
looked upon as the most important
theatre of military activities, the ac-
tion between Russian and Austro-Ger-
man forces still progresses, with both
sides bringing up heavy reinforce
ments and the fate of Hungary, Ger
many's weakest ally, hanging in the
balance. The Russians expect victory
in that quarter only through sheer
weight Of numbers, and are hurrying
every available man to the Carpathiaa
front, where continual progress is be-
ing attained by the invaders. The
of Russian troops now massel
in Carpathian strongholds and in
the foothills of the range, is unknown,

containing priceless relics of the War
Between the States and surrounded
