ROAD LEVELER TO
BE DEMONSTRATED

What can be done with the Jumbo
road lcveler will be demonstrated all
day Saturday, when Z. r. Stillens, a
rancher living west of town, bitches
one of the larger types Of this ma
chine to a caterpillar engine and es-
says to level the worst portions Of
Imperial avenue. A smaller type,
drawn by horses, was bought by the
city recently and, according to Still
lens, has proved more that satisfac-
tory.
II the experiment is as successful
as Stillens anticipates, ut is possible
that the county may purchase the
leveler for use on the country roads.
An effort was made several years ago
to induce the supervisors to buy one
of the machines, but it failed and
,evcling of roads in the outlying dis
tricts now is done for the most part
hy drag drawn by team.
THE fault with the lighter machines
is that they will not take hold on the
hard roads in this country" Stillens
said. q know what my machine will
do and | believe, after the expert
ment is completed Imperial avenue,
where the leveler has passed over it
will be as smooth as could be de
sired"

New Plan Reported
For Recognition

That new steps to seek recognition
by the Carranza government were tax
en- , weeks ago by Colonel Cantu,
governor Of Lower California, became
known today An emissary represent
ing the Cantu government is sald 10
have left > weeks ago for Vera Cruz
bearing documents from the governor
of Lower California which stated the
terms under which Cantu would rec
oenize the dc facto government. So
far as could be learned today he has
not yet returned.
. II is believed the offer viii be re
jected. Until recently Cantu declared
publicly that he would recognize no
leader of the republic who had not
been elected by popular vote.
Just what relation the resignation
Of J. f. Guajardo, judge of the court
of the first instance Of MeXicali, bears
to the situation is problemaCieal. It
is supposed that the move Is purely
political one. Slight differences
are said to have existed between Tie
Judge and the chief executive o. "a
lious occasions and an open brcak is
said to have existed at one time
1t is generally believed, however,
that the difficulty was adjusted later
and the breach forgotten. l. is pos
sib,e that influential friends Of Can.u
eXerted sufficient force to bring about
the removal of Qua jardo because of
personal enmity and that no malice
on the part of Cantu prompted the
move.
1t was stated here today that The
Carranza envoy who visited Cantu
some time ago came merely for the
purpose of making a formal demand
upon the chief executive to yield his
territory into the hands of the Car
ranzistas and abdicate as governor. 1t
is understood Cantu declined to ac-
cept the terms demanded by the Car
rama emissary and replied to General
Obregon, chief Of the Carranza army
that he would recognize the de lacto
government providing his retetnion in
his present position was assured
The envoy bearing the message to
Obregon left a short time later for
Naco, where Obregon's forces were
then engaging the Villistas. The out
come of the parley between Obregon
and Cantu has not been learned.
Mexicans here who have been fol-
lowing the trend of affairs in Lower
California closely declare that Car
rama is non-committal. Il is under
stood a few are informed as to ez-
actly what the first chief intends to
do, but these few have declined to
make public their knowledge.
Persons who are familiar with the
relations existing between Canu and
Carranza declare that Carranza will
never recognize the present governor
Of Lower California. They point out
that Cantu has switched politics du-
ring the period of strife in Mczico
and is therefore ant to follow the same
line Of procedure M the event that a
stronger faction in Mexico succeeds
in oYerthrowine President Carranza.
They state further that it is highly
probably that Carranza is desirous of
reWardlne men whose services were
eNerted in his behalf during his cam
paign foI recognition by the United
States and Tor ascendancy m Mexico
and that he expects 20 award eAecu-

BERLIN, March 30.-Surgery upon
the battlefield, according to a well
known physician, DR.. Ziegelroth, is be-
coming more and more a matter Of
back to nature" The doctors, mill
tary and civil, who are tending the
wounded in the west, are discovering.
not without some surprise, how po-
tent factor nature is in healing
wounds.
Amputations are resorted to only in
cases of utmost necessity, and sur
geons are acting with the greatest
conservatism where previously limbs
were severed quickly when certain
symptoms appeared. The conserva-
tism appears to be rewarded by re-
coveries that ordinarily would have
been impossible. Ordinary wounds
are dressed with antiseptic bandages,
and then are not rebound any more

LONDON, March 30.-Prohibition as
drastic as that prevailing in Russia
today faces the United Kingdom, and
the British press discusses with inter-
est tn. letter sent by Chancellor of
the EXchequer Lloyd George to the
Ship Owners Federation, relative to
the Falaba disaster
In his communication to the Ship
Owners Federation the chancellor of
the exchequer asserts that drink, in
his opinion is far greater foe to
the ultimate safety of England than
the Germans and Austrians combined.
He makes an earnest appeal to the
British public to demand the imme-
date enactment of stringent prohibi-
ton laws and in support of his posi-
ton points to the loss of more than
hundred lives in the sinking of the
Falaba. This disaster, asserts Lloyd
George would have been averted but
for the use of liquor, a startling and
convincing argument for the suppress
sion of the traffic.
No appeal to sentiment is contained
in the movement to make Great Brit
ian and Ireland dry territory, leaders
in the movement asserting the pro-
posed law to be one not only of mill
tary necessity but one demanded By
the sober sentiment of the age, ana
all classes, irrespective of previous
political alignments have rallied 20
the support of the movement with a
unanimity that is startling as it is
pleasing to the government.
Employers in all lines of trade. are
energetically backing Chancellor

act prohibition laws, and labor lead.
ers in all parts of the kingdom have
proffered their support to the move
ment. Wealthy persons maintaining
wine cellars and club members have
also promised their support, many of
these even pledging themselves to
close their own wine cellars and dis
pose of their stocks of Intoxicating
liquors.

TURKISH A|RMEN
DROP BOMBS ON
ALLIED WARSH|PS
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, March 3O.-Official an
nouncement has just been made publ,
at Constantinople relating details of
an aeroplane attack upon ships of
the allied fleet attacking the forts of
the Dardanelles. The statement as
serts that several aeroplanes partici-
pated in the attack and that several
bombs were dropped upon British
warship. No estimate of the damage
inflicted is given.
Encouraging news for the allies is
contained in early dispatches from
Petrograd today. 1t is asserted in the
Russian capital that the German Of
fensive in northern Poland has COM
pletely failed, and that an early re-
sumption Of the Russian march west
ward is to be anticipated in that
quarter. The safety of Warsaw is
doubly assured by the abandonment
of German operations in northern Pol
and.
All along the line fronting the Me
men river, where. large bodies of Ger
man troops were sacrificed in the ef-
fort to invade Russia, operations dur
ing the past twenty-four hours have
been of minor character, and COM
parative quiet reigns there today. Be-
fore Ossowetz, the Russian fortified
position near the East Prussian bor-
der, the German bombardment has ma
terialIy sIackened, and may of the big
guns employed in the effort to reduce
the stronghold are believed to have
been secretly removal.

ATTLESH|P ALA. To
GUARD GERMAN
WARSHIP
(By Associated Press.)

NEWPORT NEWS March 30.-The
battleship Alabama arrived in Hamp-
ton Roads today, and will remain an
indefinite time, having been assigned
to the duty of protecting the neutral
ity of American waters. The detailing
of the Alabama to guard duty between
the Virginia capes has aroused interest
in the status of the German auxil-
iary cruiser Prinz Eitel Frederick.
The time allotted the German war
ship in which to effect repairs, it is
generally understood, has about ex-
pired and the fear that warships of
belligerent nations opposed to Ger
many may be lurking near the coast
probably led Washington authorities
to order the Alabama here. The
Eitel Frederick, after leaving Newport
News will be privileged to keep with
in the three-mile limit during an ad-
ditional twenty-fours after leaving
port, and should Commander Ther-
ichsen elect to make a dash for the
open sea, every precaution will be
taken to prevent his ship being at
tackled while in United States wa
ters.
In official circles, the presence c.
the Alabama off the Virginia coast is
accounted for by the statement that
British ships leaving Newport News
recently are suspected of having car
ried coal and supplies to allied war
ships outside the harbor, and to guard
against this practice is the purpose of
the government. These charges, it IS
stated, have not been fully substan-
tiated, but naval authorities acted
promptly on their attention being di-
rected to the alleged breach of neu-
trality upon the part of British mer-
chant ships.

MEETING PROMPTLY
AT 7:3C AT CITY HALL
At Meeting Tonight Plans to Lani
Highway Will be Devised-Every
Booster is Expected to Be On Hand
And Help Land Big Tourist Road.

Americus and Sumter county, unit
edIy and determinedly, are going to
make concerted effort to havce the
Chicago-to-F Florida Highway come this
way, and to that end booster rally
will be held at the city hall tonight at
7:30 o'clock At this meeting OF
Americus live wires, plans will be
discussed for presenting the claims
of south Georgia for the highway at
the meeting to be held Saturday next
at Chattanooga, when the matter of
route will be settled.
Americus is very much upon the
map OF Georgia, and as the chief met
ropolis of the southern section of the
Empire State, it is essential that the
proposed north and south highway
lead through her gates.
AS is we'll known, the route from
Chicago to Atlanta has already been
settled upon. From Atlanta to Macon
the roads now traversed will doubt
less be used, while from Macon on
southwark the logical route is the
splendid "Andersonville-T -Thomasville
Highway" which leads through Sum
ter county and presents the finest sys-
TEN of standard roads in Georgia
roads already fnished-not promised.
1t is quite possible that Americas
may send one or more representatives
to the meeting at Chattanooga next
Saturday, who will explain fully the
advantages offered by the Anderson
ville-Thomasville route via Sumter
county. From Macon this superb high
way traverses the best towns in south

REVIVAL BEING
 WELL ATTENDED
Attendance at Opening of Evangelical Service of Christian Church by Pas tor Far Exceeds Early Expectations.

With an attendance that far ex- celled the expectations of the arrange ments committee. Eyangehstic services were begun last night in a tent erected in a lot at the corner of Polk and Thir- teenth streets. Rev. Claude c. Jones, pastor Of the Christian Church, who is doing the preaching, delivered a most interesting sermon on Looking Into Jesus" Throughout the discussion the preacher received the very closest at tention of the large audience The music was furnished by the splendid orchestra of the Christian Church and this in itself is worth going long way to hear, Services will be held in the tent nightly until further notice.
 The meetings are the initial step in a series to be inaugurated by the First Christian Church of Phoenix in the ex- ecution Of a plan to carry the gospel message to the people of the city and organize Sunday schools in various parts of the city. The need for such work has long been known by the pas tor and members of the church. who have given much thought to it. IL is hored that Sunday school will start from the present meeting, which win probably be carried on for two or three weeks.
 Rev Claude C. Jones. the Phoenix pastor, who is doing the preaching and taking the lead in this class of Evan gelistic work. is a straight forward fcrceful and appealing preacher Of the gospel His message fCll of truth. is presented in a style that impresses the mind while it grips the heart of the nearer There is no emotionalism, but a plain presentation of the Bible truths
 Tonight Mr. Jones will preach on immortality following a musical pro gram by the orchestra.
