BETTER FEELING
PREVAILS LOCAL
COTTON CIRCLES
SEVERAL HUNDRED BALES SOLD
HERE QUITE RECENTLY.

In Americus warehouse circles a
better feeling has prevailed during the
past day or two, with safes Of several
hundred bales of the fieecy at current
fair prices. One local buyer took
two hundred bales late yesterday ev-
ening, while sales of an even larger
amount were pending this afternoon.
There is still a fair demand for cotton
and the fact that half the entire crop
marketed in Americus has been sold
indicates the free movement of local
stocks. Occasional receipts of cotton
from plantations indicates that some
cotton still remains there, though the
great bulk of the crop, held back dur
ing the fall months has been brought
in and, for the most part, sold.

BLIZZARD HITS
CHICAGO WITH
II INCH SNOW
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, March 5.-A cold wave
which + lched here last night and
swept over the entire western part Of
the country, brought seventeen inches
of snow by morning. Snow is still fall
ing and all rcords for March are ex-
pected to be broken.
Railroad traffic has been held up
and telegraphic connections are al
most impossible. A single wire from
here to New York is the only line of
communication with the east. Local
telephone connections are useless.
Stories of suffering brought about
by the heavy snow and intense cold
have already reached here. In Oak
Harbor, near here, three persons are
reported to have been frozen to death
during the blizzard last might.

sent the opportunity to small investors

RUSSIA h AS
EXPLODEDALL
GAM AIG n
PLANS OF Won
,HINDENBERG
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, March 5.-Even should no
decisive battle develop with the culmi-
nation of the present Russian offensive
in the east, the Entente Allies now
claim the Austro-German plans for a
spring campaign will be seriously in
terfered with or upset altogether.
Five weeks ago, London military
critics assert, Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg was marching VIGOROUSLY
through northern Poland, while 70
the south the Austrians were pressing
forward both in Galicia and Buko-
wilma, but today an entirely different
aspect is upon the situation, and no
longer are German and Austrian col
umns on the offensive.
On the other hand Russian troops
are vigorously attacking German posi-
tions from the Nieman in the north
of the eastern zone of hostilities, to
the banks of the Vistula, although the
Germans are clinging tenaciously to
their positions before Ossowetz. At
other points their thrusts toward
Warsaw have been brought to a stand
still. The Germans, in fact, appear to
be slowly retiring upon their own
frontier, and the next few weeks is
likely to again see Russian troops up
on German soil.
Meanwhile the Entente Allies are
battering their way to the Dardan-
elles employing some of the largest
guns afloat in their attack upon the
Turkish defenses. No serious losses
have yet featured this campaign,
though the destruction of several of
the strongest forts defending the
British feet has penetrated half the
length of the traits.
In the west, the German appear to
be fighting hard to recover ground
lost in recent operations in that area,
but unsuccessfully.
