II
The Seeing Georgia" tourists blew
into town yesterday afternoon, spent
the night with us, enjoyed themselves,
and then fitted away this morning Oh
their way to Quitman and other south
Georgia points.
The tour composed of 40 or more
cars, headed by Bill Stoddard, pace
maker par excellence, with over $50
persons, was royalty entertained by
Americas. Their overnight stop was
kept from being monotonous by an
informal reception at the hotel and a
big blowout at the Country club.
Everyone of the $50 tourists was
thoroughly converted into an Ameri-
Gus booster. They all left this morn
ing singing the praises of the best city
in south Georgia and promising to pay
US another visit soon.
The cavalcade was met by the Amer
icus committee and 100 automobiles at
the Schley-Sumter line yesterday af-
ternoon. They were escorted to the
Hotel Windsor and then the fun be-
gan. Their stay here was more than
pleasant; in fact 1--WE can't say too
much about Americas hospitality" is
the way c. J. Haden, president Of the
state chamber of commerce put it.
At an informal reception held this
morning at the hotel, the tourists
were forced to forget their trophies
while prominent orators held them
spell-bound for an hour. President Ha
den, Jim Price, commissioner of agri-
culture, Ed Mathis, Judge Patterson,
member of the state prison commits
sion, and L. G. Council, mayor of
Americus, mounted the marble counter
in the hotel lobby and sang the vir-
tues of Americus and Sumter county.
The Seeing Georgia" tour has for
its purpose the education of Georgia
people to the latent possibilities Of
their state. Already this has been
accomplished to a great degree.
1--WE didn't know south Georgia was
such fine section of the state. We're
proud of our entire state now," the
north Georgia bunch yelled with en-
thusiasm.
A big car decorated with Americus
banners and representing the Americus
chamber of commerce left with the
tourists this morning and will continue
in the tour until it reaches Quitman
and the big animal industry conven-
tion there. Secretary Hyman is along
to boost Americus and Sumter.
Plans are being made for the second
Seeing Georgia. tour to be conduct
ed in the fall. This time the autoists
will start from south Georgia and will
travel through the northern section OF
the state. Americus has decided that
she will be represented this time with
a bunch of cars. Americus will be
strictly in the limelight when the sec
ond tour is pulled off.

KAISER MUST
CHANGE TACTICS
AGAINST ALLIES
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, May 24.-After having
been virtually in a state of war dur
ing several days with Austria and Ger
many, Italy today has ratified that con-
dition by formal declaration of hos
tilities directed against Austria-Hun-
gary.
A general mobilization of the Italian
army and navy is said to be practically
completed, and in the northern prov
inces of the kingdom a state of war
has been proclaimed Troops now in
these provinces already constitute a
vast majority of the Italian army.
Martial Law Proclaimed at Trent.
On the Austrian side of the inter
national boundary martial law has
been proclaimed, and authentic infor-
nation from that point declares the
age limit for military service through
out the dual monarchy has been rails
ed to fifty years.
Stringent measures have been inaug-
urated throughout Austria to take into
custody all Italian nationals who may
have remained in that country. These
are to be placed with other prisoners
of war and confined until a cessation
of hostilities.
May Affect Situation in Flanders
Although confirmation from official
sources, reports published in after
noon newspapers here assert that Ger
many, faced with Italy as new foe,
will be compelled to shorten the west
ern battle line, and that consequently
preparations for the withdrawal of
troops now occupying advanced lines
in Flanders is under way. The report
ed evacuation of Bruges by its German
garrison is described as a part of such
a movement.
Russians Resume Offensive.
The latest Russian official announce
ment published at Petrograd at noon
today indicates pause has come in
the Austro-German advance along the
river San. The announcement claims
Russian forces in that area have re-
sumed offensive operations after re-
treating during several days, and that
this movement has been attended with
partial success. The German line of
communication, it is claimed, is now
threatened by the Russian flanking
movement, and Teuton retirement
may be impelle dhtereby.

lRv Associated Press.1

ROME, May 24.-Details concerning
Italy's declaration of war upon Aus
tria late yesterday have been given out
by Foreign Minister Sonno. These
confirm former authentic forecasts of
Italy's position, containing little of
general interest.
Early today the italian cabinet held
a lengthy session, extending over three
hours, during which Premier Salandra
personally presided and in the course
of which many important issues were.
discusses. One of the foremost of
these concerned the status of diplo-
matte representatives of Italy's enc
mics accredited to the Vatican, and
lively discussion resulted. Though the
question was not finally decided dur
ing the session of the cabinet, it is
clearly evident this afternoon that
steps about to be taken by the govern
ment are designed to compel the with
drawal of such diplomats from the
Holy See, at least until the present
war is decided.
Declaration by German Expected
Foreign Minister Sonno following the
adjournment of the cabinet meeting,
discussed the international situation
with an Associated Press representa-
tive, giving guarded reply to many
questions. A declaration of war by
Germany, the foreign minister stated,
was expected as soon as that nation
was officially informed of Italy's action
in proclaiming a state of hostilities
with Austria-Hungary
The cabinet at its meeting today
did not discuss the military situation,
this having been entrusted entirely to
the Italian general staff, which has
been working upon tentative plans for
attacking Austria during weeks
past. These plans, it is stated, are
fully completed, and the forces neu-
essary to their speedy execution have
been mobilized within the kingdom.
When or where the first blow against
Austrian authority is to be struck, it
unknown.
To Fight in Harmony With Allies
The Italian military and naval plans,
it is stated on seemingly good author
ity are based upon harmonious un-
derstanding with France, England,
Russia, Belgium and Servia, the other
belligerents making war on Germany
and Austria, and there will be COM
plete accord in the operations of the
armies of the Entente Allies and those
of King Victor Emanuel. The Italian
royal navy, with it's six new dread
naughts and three splendid super
dreadnaughts mouting 15-inch rifles,
will be magnificent addition to the
naval forces engaged in blockading
German and Austrian ports. A strict
blockade of the Strait of Otranto, it is
believed, will be established without
delay, and the Gordon of French war
ships now before Pola, the Austrian
naval base, will likely be reinforced
by strong squadron of Italian battle
ships and cruisers.
Rigid Censorship Established
Following the declaration of war
with Austria, Italian military author
tiles Immediately took charge of the
telegraph lines throughout the king
dom, installing censors at all the
principal cable stations, and in the
