AMER|CUS HAS
ANOTHER BUSY
WEEKEND TRADE
CONDITIONS IN ALL LINES INF.
PROVE; MERCHANTS OPTIMISTIC

Americus today, as on yesterday
was again the concentration point for
hundreds of busy buyers and shoppers
generally, and conditions locally are
manifestly better. The recent sharp
advance in cotton values and con-
sequent sale of considerable guam
titles of the staple here has given to
business in all lines a strong stimulus,
and Americus merchants are feeling
decidedly better over the general trade
outlook. The crowds today were
of almost "circus-like" proportions,
and considerable cash was in evidence.
There is no doubt but that business
conditions throughout this section Of
Georgia are improving steadily, and
Americus is going to have her
accustomed place upon the front seat
of the band wagon when the process
sion gets we'll under way.

GERMAN CRUISER
MUST LEAVE PORT
Or Be |NTERNED
(By Associated Press.)

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, March 27.-
Armed guards on the pier and aboard
the German auxiliary cruiser, Prinz
Eitel Frederick to prevent the ap-
proach of unauthorized persons were
the only evidence of activity aboard
the warship today, despite last nights
rumor that the cruiser was about to
put to sea.
An unofficial report in general cir
culation at noon today says Comman-
der Thierichsen had been ordered to
either put to sea within twenty-four
hours or formally interne his vessel
here, and considerable interest has
been manifested in the report. The
garrisons at Fortress Monroe and Fort
Wool at the entrance to the harbor,
kept continuous vigil during last
night, but no suspicious vessels ap-
preached either of the Notifications.
Another report was to the effect that
three warships flying the colors of the
allied nations had approached to with
in short distance of the Virginia
coast during last night, but investiga-
tion this morning failed to confirm the
reported presence of warships opt
side the harbor.

Mr.. Alex A. Forrest, Sumter county's
first bale farmer for several years,
and a good progressive one, two, was
in the city today. Mr.. Forrest has
brought in number of July first"
bales" in recent years, and while he
is not striving for the honor this
year, he says, this fortune may con-
tinue to he his. Already hre has plant
ed sixty-two acres of his early matur-
ing cotton, a decrease of thirty acres
from last years planting, and with
favorable seasons he may again lead
all south Georgia with another July
bale. Last year Mr.. Forrest ginned
and packed the first bale in the state,
but delay of one day in marketing it
gave the honor to another.

ASK AMER|CUs
COMPETE FOR
DIXIE HIGHWAY
ROUTE WILL BE DETERMINED AT
MEETING IN CHATTANOOGA,
APRIL 3

Americus motorists, 600 strong, as
well as the, general public, will be in
terested in the proposition coming
from Secretary V. D. Robinson, of the
executive committee of the Dixie
Highway" organization, that Americus
and Sumter county present claims to
the end of having the proposed high
way, Chicago to Miami, come this way.
The invitation is extended in a per-
sonal letter from Secretary Robinson
to Mr.. Frank Lanier. The route through
Georgia will be determined April Sd.
A meeting of the governors of the
six states, through which the Dixie
Highway will be constructed, will Re
held in Chattanooga on the date men
toned, and all data regarding sum
ters roads and our cooperation in the
enterprise will be duly considered at
this meeting of the executive sextette.
If possible, the opportunity afforded
in this proposition should be readily
accepted. The competition on propos-
ed routes between given points, has
already become very keen. In some
sections, adjoining counties are unit
ing in an organization working for the
adoption of certain route.
In addition to the joint proposition
in these cases. each town and county
should state separately just what their
proper authorities can and will do if
the Dixie Highway is routed their
way
Tile mileage through the county to
points where it will connect with the
through roads Of adjoining counties,
the condition of the road, and the
grade, together with reliable estimate
of probable cost to provide an all
year-round road, should also be in-
cluded in the proposition submitted.
This data will be extremely valua-
pc to those who are chosen to select
The route.

(By Associated Press.)

ATHENS, March 27.-Early dis
patches from newspaper correspond
ents on the Island of Tenedos today
assert that attack on the forts of the
Dardanelles has been resumed, and
that tremendous damage has been in
flicted upon the Notifications. British
and French warships co-operated dur
ing the attack and succeeded in com
pletely destroying Kilid Bahr, one of
the powerful forts located at the mar
rows, fifteen miles from the entrance
to the Dardanelles.
These reports indicate the destruc-
ton of more than twenty-five Turkish
forts as already accomplished, with
the task OF the allied fleet more than
half completed. Chanak, or Dardan
elles on the Asiatic shore, opposite
Kilid Bahr, was burned and destroy
ed during the attack of the allied fleet
on March 18th, and with both of these
Notifications out of action there re-
main only seven modern fortresses
barring the progress of the fleet into
tho Goo of Marpnora
Details of the attack referred to in
today's Athens dispatches are not Civ
en- and it cannot be stated accurately
what losses we're sustained by the
French and Englih forces during the
attack. French transports have land
ed large force of troops in Asiatic
Turkey, the troops being put ashore
in the Gulf of Smyrna. These proba-
bly, co-operated in the attack upon the
defenses of the Dardanelles.

Balkan SITUATION UnSettled.
Interest in the attitude of more than
che Balkan state continues acute to-
day, though the belief that Rumania
and bulgaria are on the verge of en-
tering the ranks of the telligerents
has fewer adherents today than az
any time since the war began. A not
able section of the British press eX-
presses the opinion today that an at
titude of neutrality will continue to
be maintained until definite results are
obtained at the Dardanelles. The
fall of the Turkish forts would un-
doubtedly force both Rumania and
Bulgaria into the arena, and represen-
tatives of both countries are keep
ing close watch on developments. To
enter the war at the psychological mo-
ment appears to be the purpose of
the Balkan states today, all of them
being determined to share in the divis-
ion of the Turkish spoils. Free pas
sage through the Dardanelles is an
other question of paramount interest
in the Balkans.
