LULL
IN FIGHTING
STILL CONTINUES
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, April 6.-What has been
called the Easter lull in the fighting
marks both thes eastern and western
battle fronts this afternoon, except in
the Carpathians, where the struggle for
access to the Hungarian plans is still
going on.
Unofficial dispatches, via Paris, ear
ly this afternoon declare the Austro-
German forces in the vicinity of Lup-
kow Pass on the Carpathian front, are
in full retreat, and that the Russians
are pouring over the range in huge
numbers. but this account of the fight
ing there is not confirmed in advices
from other sources.
That both armies remain locked in
deadly conflict for possession of the
gateways into Hungary, is the opinion
held by many British observers, this
opinion being based upon reports pub
lished in afternoon papers today. The
Russians, it is generally conceded, have
thus far had the better of the fighting
and the Austrians are known to be
on the verge of retreat, unless re-
Inducements now hurrying to their aid
reach the scene in time to turn the
tide of victory,
Tone Of U. s. Note Gratifying.
The British press this afternoon gem
orally comments nuon the text of the
United States note protesting against
the British order in council, which es-
tablishes a virtual blockade on all
commerce too and from Germany. The
concensus of opinion is that the tone
of the note is satisfactory, and that
danger of future discord between Eng
land and the United States is remote
indeed.
No intimation of the probable course
to be pursued by the British foreign
office regarding the terms of the Ame"-
lean note had been given out at 1880
this afternoon, though it is known the
cabinet has the matter of a reply I'M
der consideration, and that an early
response will be dispatched to the
Washington government.

LONDON, April German subma-
rine activities during Monday sent two
British marchant vessels to the bot
tom of the English Channel and en-
dangered the lives of thirty-seven sail
ors, composing the crews of the two
ships.
The steamer Northlands, with a
cargo of iron ore on board, was the
first victim of the undersea wasps, be-
ing torpedoed off Beachy Head early
in the day. Her crew of twenty-four
persons were rescued shortly after
the sinking of the Northlands, by a
Belgian steamer, and landed at Liver
pool. The Northlands was small
vessel of 1000 tons displacement, AMI
slow speed.
Late yesterday the steam trawler
Agantha was attacked by a German
submarine off the coast of Longstone
and sent to the bottom, after a run
ming chase, in which the warship man

tha's crew of thirteen were picked up

CENTRAL WILL
COOPERATE IN
GETTING RATES
MAYOR COUNCIL is ADVISED TO
THAT EFFECT.

Americas is very much upon the
railway maps in the matter Of having
been designated a Georgia point to
which homeseekers tickets from Wash
ington and the east may be purchased.
Recently the Times Recorder made the
announcement that the Seaboard Rail
way had granted homeseekers rates
from Washington to Americas the year
round, such tickets being upon Asale at
stated intervals. In the meantime
Mayor L. G. Council had taken up the
matter with Mr.. ]. C, Halle, general
passenger agent of the Central of Geor-
gia, and, very successfully. In let-
ter to Mr.. Coucil today Mr. Halle an
nounced that the concession sought
had been granted, and Americas rates
from Washington would soon be pub
lished officially. Washington as the
initial starting point for many inves-
tors coming to Georgia to look at farm
ing lands and a round trip rate of $21
from that city to Americas will have
the effect of bringing many homeseek-
rse to the South Georgia capital.

LONDON, April 6.-There are still
places which have not heard of the
world war after nearly seven months
of confi t. The Secretary of the Post
master General, in casual report,
mentions the fact that Tristan da
Cunha, a group of British islands il

mail since the outbreak of the war.
These islands are entirely depend
ent upon chance communication from
South Africa, 1900 miles away. Often
the inhabitants are year or more
without communication from the out
side world. The population is only
about eighty in number, mainly des-
cendants of shipwrecked sailors, and
all English.
Another place that has not heard of
the war is Yquitos, in Eastern Peru.
It's letters are taken by British mail
steamers up the Amazon to Manaos,

COLLEGE BUILDING IS SWEPT
BY FLAMES THIS MORNING
Academic Building of Third District College Burned Ground
and Total Loss. Fire OF Uhknown Origin. Will Be Re-
placed During Summer. No Interruption OF Glasses VIII
Result.

The main academic building of the
Third District Agricultural and Me-
chanical College was destroyed by fire
this morning, and is a complete loss.
The fire, which was of unknown orr
gin, started in the cloak room of the
main building and spread with such
rapidity as to envolop the structure in
a brief time. The fire department re-
sponded to the call for aid, but could
render little assistance, due to lack of
pressure upon the mains, it is said.
The college building, which contain
ed all of the classrooms, auditorium,
College Cadets armory and the super
intendent's Office, was the larger of the
three structures and located at the east
end of the row. Fortunately, the wind
was not blowing, else the boys dormi-
tory, next in the line might have been
swept away.
The fire department laid all hose
necessary, probably 1900 feet, attach
ed to the nearest hydrant on Fielder
street but when the water was turn
ed on only feeble stream came from
the nozzle, and the firemen could do
little else than watch the: destruction
Of the large brick building. This was

Contents a Total Loss.

Supt. John NJ. Collum stated this
morning that nothing was saved from
the building. There had been no fire
in the CRATES for a week nearly, mad
the only theory is that of rats and
matches, or possibly, defective wiring,
Besides books and school equipment,
the students lost all their military
equipment, including fifty Krag-Jor-
gensen rifles and ammunition The ex-
plosion of hundreds of cartridges in
the armory sounded like an infantry
charge.
Supt. Collum estimates the worth of
the laboratory at $780, that of the ar
mory at $1,000, and the school equip
ment like sum. The gaunt walls of
the structure are still standing, but
will be pulled down. The building and
equipment was insured for $4,000 in
companies represented by Mr.. f. r.
