PEACE PREFERRED
To INTERVENTION
BY UNCLE SAM

WASHINGTON. June - Princi-
pal interest in the Mexican situation
centered today in the efforts being
exerted by Villas faction to meet fol-
lowers of Gen. Venustiano Carranza in
conference, the purpose OF the meet
ing being to consider in its entirety
President Wilson's recent note to the
Mexican leaders, demanding a settle
ment of that nations internal troubles.
Keen interest in every development OF
the situation is eyinced in official cir
cles, the effort of the two leading fac :
tions to compose their differences be-
ing looked upon as the most important
development since the issuance of
President Wilson's warning.
Basis of Settlement Doubtful
The probable basis of settlement up
on which the contending factions could
be induced to compose their differ
ences and work harmoniously for the
ablishment Of peace throughout
Mexico, is a matter of grave specula-
tion today, and may prove the stumb-
ling block that will retard active ne
gotiations to that end 1t is known
Carranza and Villa once before at
tempted to settle their disputes and
at one time acted in concert, but fol-
lowing the Agues Calientes convention
a split between the two powerful lead
ers occurred, and this has since wild
ened, rather than healed, according to
authentic information gathered by re-
representatives. of the state department
now in Mexico.
Both Carranza and Villa, it is said
recognize the necessity for an imme-
diate restoration of normal conditions
throughout Mexico, and each is re-
ported as favoring an amicable set
tlement of their differences, rather
than invite intervention by the United
States, though a basis upon which
the two could agree has never been
reached.

TEST FARM

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA INDUS
TRIAL AGENT VISITS GLAWS0N
FARM AND FINDS CONDITIONS
THERE EXCELLENT
Continued on Page So

w. T. Bennett, agricultural agent
of the Central of Georgia railroad, and
Prof. J. R. Fain of the State College
of Agriculture, at Athens, are today
inspecting farming conditions in Sum-
ter county. They find Sumter farms
up to their usual state and are en-
thusiastic over prospects here.
While they visited several farms, the
real purpose of their visit was to in
spect the Test Farm of the Central Of
Georgia railroad, operated in this
county by Mr.. J. L. Glawson. They
were both more than pleased with
conditions as found there.
''The Sumter test farm is one Of
the best l have seen this year along
the Central lines" said Mr.. Bennett,
who supervivses the test farm work
for the railroad "If every county had
the same natural resources that find
in Sumter, this would be a much
richer state"
Prof. Fain, who heads the depart
ment of agronomy at the State Univer-
sity, is making a tour of the Central
lines with Mr.. Bennett. He said: 81
find conditions in South Georgia ex-
cellent and in Sumter they are as fine
as elsewhere This county has re-
sources and possibilities that are be-
yond reckoning"
Mr.. ]. L. Glawson, who operates the
test farm, has made careful study
of scientific farming, and with the CO.
operation of the Central of Georgia, is
demonstrating that diversified farming
can be made to pay in Sumter county.
Working along the -four crop" plan
as outlined by the railroad, he is max
ing big success of his work.

TION, WIRES ORDER FOR CAR

ARIES PLANTATION
WILL FILL ORDER
Order is Referred to Superintendent
Calhoun of Big Plantation. VIII Be
Filled at Once. Wheat to be Ground
Into Flour at Commerce.

DR.. L. G. Hardman, of Commerce, re-
Gently candidate for Governor of Geor-
gia, is in the market for Georgia RAISED
wheat, and especially Sumter wheat.
This morning he wired Secretary Hy-
man Of the Americus Chamber Of COM
merce to secure a car load of wheat
raised in Sumter county for his flour
mill in Commerce.
The order was Immediately referred
to Mr.. Calhoun, manager of the Aries
plantation and will be filled today. Six
hundred acres of wheat raised on that
plantation will be sufficient to fill this
and many more orders for car load lots
of wheat.
DR.. Hardman is an ardent advocate of
diversified farming. In an effort to
get the farmers of his district to raise
wheat and other grain crops he has
recently erected a modern -four mill at
Commerce. The supply near Com
merce was not sufficient to keep the
mill busy so he sent in his order for
Sumter wheat.
With thousands of acres in wheat in
all sections of the county Sumter bids
fair to earn for herself the title "The
Granary of Dixie" Sumter farmers
are enthusiastic over the diversified
farming and before long Sumter will
surrender / er rank as the leading cot
ton county of the state but win for her
self the laurels as banner grain raising
county of Georgia.

Washington Believes That President
Wants to Give Special Representa-.
tive of Won BerDstOrff Time to
Reach Berlin.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., June S.-Pres-
ident Wilson this morning told a rep
resentative of the Associated Press
that the Lusitania communication
would be forwarded to Germany within
a few days now. He stated that the
finishing touches would be put ON the
note by the cabinet at a special called
meeting, probably today.
The president explained that there
had been a little delay in preparing
the note and that so far the cabinet
had only seen rough draft of the
communication.
When asked if the delay in an
swering the Germans reply to the
original note had moderated the tone
of the communication, the president
answered NO" and stated that it was
couched in emphatic language and
demanded "Yes" or "No" answer.
official Washington has expressed
the opinion that the president is hold
ing up the communication until the
special representative sent to Berlin
by Ambassador Won Bernstorff can
reach the German capital. 1t is well
known here that Berlin scarcely real
ICES the feeling that has been aroused
in America over the sinking of the
Lusitania. This special representa-
tive fas sent to Berlin with the ex-
press instructions to try and impress
the German authorities that Uncle
Sam means business and will make
things hum unless Germany meets his
demands.

The General Spirit of Depression

Uncle Sam will assume the carpen.
ter role in Americus within a few
days and when he announces his work
completed will turn over a muchly-
improved federal building to Ameri-
Gus. Postmaster Davenport has been
notified that owing to the increasing
business of the Americas Office, the
government has decided to increase
the efficiency of the local office by
making certain needed changes.
The lobby of the postofice will be
altered and sixty lock boxes added.
This will partially care for the cur
rent demand. A long waiting list of
persons desiring boxes has been filed
at the local postoffice and these new
boxes will be allotted to them as far as
possible.
Americus is lucky in securing the
additional boxes at this time. The
postal department has announced that
all Improvements will be curtailed for
the time being, owing to serious con-
ditions arising in connection with the
European war The fact that the
Americus business has outgrown the
present quarters was the only thing
that made Uncle Sam agree to turn
corpenter and make the changes.

GREAT VICTORY
OVER ITALIANS
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, June S.-Virtually the en-
tire western battle line, except those
portions held by Belgian and British
troops, has been the scene today Of
what would appear to be a series of
offensive movements initiated by the
French, and Paris reports claim i'm
portant advances have been attained at
many points. German counter attacks
have been uniformly repulsed, ac-
cording to the French official state-
ment, issued at noon.
Berlin is silent concerning events in
the west, but the German official an
nouncement this afternoon relates de-
tails of fierce fighting in the east,
