CLYDE LINER RESCUES
CREW WRECKED VESSELS

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-The Clyde
Line freighter Algonquin, which be-
came disabled at sea three days ago,
in tow of her sister ship, the Chero-
kee, was brought to New York today
Survivors of the shipwrecker schooner
Frederick Roesener were also on board
the Cherokee.
Before developing propeller trouble
in mid-ocean, the Algonquin sighted
the hulk of the Roesener, which had
rammed and sunk the Norwegian
steamer Anita off North Caicos reef,
and picked up survivors of the disas-
ter. The purser of the Anita was the
only member of her crew rescued By
the Algonquin.

May Wheat
Now $3.50
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, Jan. pS.-May wheat OPP
tions were quoted at $1.5O this after
noon when the grain exchange closed
for the day. Proceeding this sensa-
tional new high level trading in wheat
options was exceedingly active, and
bull operators seemed in complete con-
troll of the situation. Support came
from all parts of the country, as well
as from milling centers, where addi-
tional exports orders are said to be
responsible for large orders to buy
grain. Oats and other grains advanc-
ed in sympathy with the wheat mar
ket, but failed to reach any such high
level as today's May wheat option.

CONVICT PROVES
LIVELY BURGLAR
ABOUT AMERICUs
TWO STORES IN COUNTY ENTERED
AND GOODS STOLEN.

Mr.. Jesse j. Hill, who has a large
store at Cobb, came up to Americas
this morning to identify lot of goods
stolen from him when a burglar got
into his place of business night or
two ago. The burglar was captured
later near Smithville and proved to be
negro convict who had escaped from
the changing in Merriwether county
recently. Besides the goods belonging
to Mr.. Hill, Sheriff Fuller has two nne
new overcoats and several pairs mems
fine shoes that were taken from the
burglar. These articles were not taken
from the Hill store, and are held by
the sheriff awaiting a claimant. This
would evidence the fact that some 9TH
er store in this vicinity was burglar
lied by the convict.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
PUBLISHES BULLETIN STATING
THAT THERE ARE 100000 HEAD
MORE LIVE STOCK In UNITED
STATES NOW THAN TWELVE
MONTHS AGO
(By Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, d c., Jan. 2S.-Re-
cent alarming reports to the effect that
higher prices for meat, leather and kin
dred products are inevitable, are en-
phatically denied in a statement issued
this morning by the department Of
agriculture, and furnished the Asso-
ciated Press for distribution.
The statement attacks vigorously
what has been characterized in certain
quarters as an effort to initiate the
market, and furnishes elaborate figures
in support of its assertions. Numer-
Gus inquiries have poured into the agri-
cultural department during the past
fortnight concerning the, alarming ru-
mors so generally circulated, it is
now alleged, by packers and dealers
in hides, etc, and which forecast un-
precedented prices for many products
of the cattle industry One of the re-
ports asserted $40 pair would be
pair for shoes within two years unless
conditions improved, and a prominent
packer was quoted in certain newspa-
pers as saying that within five years
beefsteak would be classed luxury
if present conditions continue.
These statement are completely dis
proved by today's statement, and fig
ures upon which the assertions were
made, apparently, are proven entirely
erroneous. During the past year, says
the statement just published by the
agricultural department, the supply of
live stock in the United States, in
cluding beef cattle, steers and dairy
herds, sheep and hogs, increased seven
anu d llctll I1tlllOI uSduJ d
substantial increase in the number of
animals kept on American farms.
Particularly in the Southern states
has the number of cattle on farms in
creased during the past year. and in
that region an industry of considerable
proportions is being developed in the
raising of beef cattle and steers in the
South, and from this section, the ma
tons food supply probably will be Sc
cured during future years. Today's
statement produced no perceptible eff
feet upon market prices of products
referred to, but occasioned considera-
BILE surprise in view OF the reports
so generally published a few weeks
ago, and purDorting to emanate from
such authoritative sources.

Americus feniminity, and that Of
surrounding towns as we'll, rallied in
invincible and untiring host of bar
gain seekers upon the firing line this
morning and the impetuous rush
brought smiles to the faces of the alert
merchants in waiting. Bargain sales
galore had been announced, and a
bargain sale, next to card party
holds for the average woman a charm
irresistible. They came forth from
every section of Americus, while seem
ingly every town within a radius Of
fifty miles was represented by fair
bargain seekers. The offerings were
tempting in the extreme, and every one
of the hundreds Of purchasers proved
a satisfactory one. People stopping at
the Windsor Hotel and not aware Of
the bargain feasts SO temptingly
spread were under the impression for
a time that the Georgia Convention Of
Suffragettes were holding an annual
session here, with an overflow mem
bership present.

900 KILLED IN
THIRTY MINUTES
(By Associated Press.l

PETROGRAD, Jan. 2S,-Severe fight
ing along the Bzura river in the vicin-
ity of Sochaczew occurred during
Tuesday, when a violent offensive
movement was commenced by the Ger
man army opposite that place. A des
perate infantry charge, under cover
of artillery fire, forced the Russians
abandon several entrenched positions
Later counter attacks succeeded in
routing the Germans from these posi-
tions only after most desperate hand
to-hand fighting in which Russian
bayonets proved formidable a foe
for the Germans Losses during this
engagement were heavy on both sides.
At Atlanka, two miles north of So
chaczew, the Germans attempted fo-
ay against the Russian trenches which
proved most disastrous, at small cost
to the Muscovites. At this point an
infantry regiment charged through an
open space where Russian machine
guns literally moved down the Ger
mans. More than five hundred men
are reported to have been killed during
an engagement lasting thirty minutes.

ARNIESSTRUGGLEFOR
POSSESSION 100 Mile
BATTLE Line GALIClA

Hungary from Germany and probably
mean the loss of Austrian support to
the Prussians. On the other hand, a
German victory would be of tremen-
dous value in controlling domestic up
risings in Hungary, where scarcity
of provisions is alleged to have melted
serious rebellion.
In Bukowina serious fighting con-
tinues and Austro-German reinforce
ments are arriving in that province.
Russian forces there continue to at
tain successes, though the Austrian
resistance continues of most stubborn
character. Infantry charges feature
the fighting in Bukowina, where nei-
ther army has yet been able to sue
cessfully entrench itself.
In the west, serious fighting is also
under way, the Germans forcing the
issue and many points along the battle
line and France, their campaign ap-
parently contemplating an advance to-
ward Paris, rather than to the sea,
where British warships have repeated
ly robbed their land forces of costly
victories. About Scissors the heav-
lest of today's fighting centers, with
repeated assaults being made upon the
French works. Entrenched positions
recently taken from Gen. Joffre's army
are being abandoned in the effort to
drive the French further back, and
scores of lives have already been sac
rifced in these fruitless attacks.
In Alsace, where the French often
sive recently developed, heavy snow
fall continues and operations in that
vicinity have been practically abandon
ed by both armies. Only sniping
is the only fighting being indulged in
with an occasional trench being
blown up by mines.

LONDON, Jan. 28-Increased activ-
ity developed late yesterday and this
morning in more than one area OF hos
tilities, and indications at this hour
point to great battles being fought
in Galicia, and along the 100-mile front
skirting the Carpathian range, where
the Germans are desperately strug-
Cling to force the Russians back and
compel an abandonment of the Musco-
vite campaign against Hungary.
Greatest importance is attached to
the impending battle, which promises
to involve more men in the contending
armies than have ever before clashed.
Tremendous bodies of troops have
been pouring into Hungary from Prus-
sia for a week past and several of Ger
mans ablest generals are in COM
mand Of divisions which will partici-
pate in the big battle now being
staged. The extent of the Russian ar
my which opposes this huge mass of
German troops cannot be accurately
stated, but it is known that great num-
bers of Russians have poured through
many Carpathian passes since these
strongholds we're wrested from Aust
rian control.
Thus far there are no indications Of
the probable outcome of fighting in
this territory, and military critics to-
day asserts the battle is merely in it's
preliminary stages, and promises to
continue during many days. The re-
suit Of this gigantic clash, it is GER
tain, will have an important effect upon
operations in the eastern theatre of
war, and may prove disastrous to
either army. A Russian victory would
almost certainly mean the severance of
