FOREIGNERS AT PROGRESSO |
ALARMED BY DISORDERS THERE
HAVE ASKED PERMISSION TO
TAKE REFUGE ON U. S. CRUISER
(By Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IL
Foreigners gathered at Progresso,
Mexico, have asked permission to seek
refuge on the U. S. Cruiser Desmoines
stationed there. Recent disturbances
there have thrown the port into a
small panic and foreigners are anx-
ious to leave, regardless of their prop
erty interests.
The matter was referred to the di-
plomatic authorities in Vera Cruz and
Victoriano Carranza, constitutionalist
leader, was called to meet them. The
Mexican general assured the U. S.
officials that he would guarantee the
safety of all foreigners at Progresso
and that it was not necessary for tn
to seek refuge aboard the DesMoines.

Americus warehousemen were pleas
ed today at the strength displayed by
the cotton market, which scored an
advance of ten points on the opening
this morning The May option again
reached 9.03 cents, or within two or
three points of the highest quotation
OF the season. This advance created
a better demand for the staple, and
sales of $50 to 200 bales had been eE-
fected up to noon. The finer grades
readily bring cents to IA for fully
good middling, although the greater
part of that sold today was around ?
cents. A continued advance in values
is rather expected by the trade here.

ships have been forced to content
themselves with throwing shells at

Early this morning two distinct at

The allies have failed to clear the

allies are beginning to realize that
Constantinople will not be as easy
prey as they first thought.
Confidence Being Restored.
Confidence in the Turkish forts to
hold the gateway to Constantinople

capital have abandoned their plans

feels elated at the amount Of fines ac-

in comparison with the February rec

aggregated fines to date are more than
for the entire previous month, with
two weeks yet remaining in which to
swell the total. This department OF

are usually sufficient in volume to
meet the monthly payroll.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IT,
Attorney General Gregory in letter
addressed to James M. Beck, counsel
for the Sun Printing Co., of New York.
announced that there is no grounds
for federal action against the Associat-
ed Press under the antitrust law.
The letter was made public today
and points out that the Associated
Press is mutual cooperative organf-
cation of newspapers.
The attorney general stated
that it was entirely permissible for a
group of papers to combine for tha
purpose of gathering and Distributing
news, and that they had right to say
who could be a member of their asso-
citation.
Recently certain papers and smaller
news gathering associations have
sought to damage the Associated Press
by raising the trust cry. This decision
of the attorney general entirely vindi-
Gates the Associated Press and adds
another endorsement to the long
string already in its possession.

SUMTER'S BARNS
YIELDING BREAD
QUITE ABUNDANT 7

Americus supply dealers are author
ity for the statement that Sumter
county farmers are consuming far less
meal, as well as other feedstuff usually
purchased here, than ever tefore at
this season. The falling off in the
purchase of corn m ii alone is more
than seventy-fve percent, which points
unquestionably to the fact that the
farmers have a plentiful supply of
corn at home, and are using this in
stead OF buying shipped meal.
One Americus dealer who largely
supplies the trade here, and who
buys his meal from distant mills, states
that his trade has decreased enorm.
ously, not one fourth the quantity
heretofore hold being required now.
Farmers about Americas AMI
throughout this territory made an
excellent corn crop last year, as well
as of hay, oats and other forage, and
therefore, do not have to buy these
commodities now, and on time, 1t
that. There is also a marked decrease
this spring in the sale here of western
bulk meat. Sumter's farmers pro-
duced a goodly meat supply as well
and this will last them into the sum-
mer season, thus effecting vast

ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS WANT
BAN PLACED ON CANTEEN
(By Associated Press.l


the action of the war Office in supply
ing rations of rum to the British
troops at the front is manifest in many
sections of the British press. AL
though the war office in defense of its
action stated that the allowance of
rum was regarded by the military
authorities as medicinal supply ra-
ther than part of the food ration,
part Of the demand for the abolition
of the alcoholic ration comes from
the medical profession.
A round dozen physicians, all of
them leaders in their profession, were
signers of a recent appeal to the gov
ernment to follow the lead of Russia
in aboishing absolutely the sale of
spurious liquors in Great Britain for
the duration of the war.
Speaking in behalf of the army med
ical corps, Captain Sir Victor Horsley,
a well known medical and scientific
leader, contributes an article to the
current issue of the British medical
Journal, demonstrating against the
issue of rum to the soldiers as an
alleged protection against cold and
damp. He says;
"All medical scientists now know
that although alcohol produces a
temporary flush on the surface of the
skin, this is due to a rush of blood
to fill the arteries slackened by alco-
hol, and that the excess of blood
thus driven to the surface lose its
heat and on returning to the interior
chilled by such exposure, inevitably
lowers the body temperature.
Although army regulations say the
rum is only issued by order of the
commanding officer on recommends |
tion of the medical officer, the spirit |
is no part of the medical stores, but is
in the commisariat with the food sup
plies and in many battations has
been issued daily in and out of the
trenches to every man who would ac-
cept it.
THE spirit of tie drinking habit in
the British army was first contracted
dring the Duke of ,Marlboroughs cam
paign in Flanders two hundred years
ago. 1t is national misfortune that
this story of 200 years ago is being re-
peated, for our army is again as then,
being taught to become victoms to the
spirit-drinking habit.
I'm the present war, the authorities
have contracted for the supply of over
100000 gallons of rum, of which more
than half has already been sent to
France. The war Office has gone from
bad to worse by a new concession of
rum to raw recruits in training at
home.
Il stake my professional reputation
on my declaration that rum causes loss
of resistance to cold and is cause of
chilliness, misery and frostbite. 1t
also causes loss of resistance to such
dieases a pneumonia, dysenterry and
typhoid

RIVER RAILROAD
NOW BUILDING-ALBANY is Az
TER THE NEW ENTERPRISE.

If Americus is interested in being
made the terminus of the railway line
now being constructed by the Georgia
Lumber Co., with headquarters at By
romville, on the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic, it would seem that it
were true that some definite action
along that line be taken. The railway
construction company is already build
ing the bridge across Flint river, and
the road will soon be under Construc-
tion in Sumter county.
The river bridge is only fourteen
miles from Americas, and the railway
company, the Flint River Railway and
Navigation Co., will soon be operating
trains on this side of the Flint to its
timber tracts in Sumter.
Will the company be invited to build
on to Americus? Will Americus busi-
ness interests cooperate to the end
of bringing the road here?
The road is already operating trains
from Byromville to Flint river, a dis
tance of ten miles, the line being laid
with standard rails and we'll equipped.
Albany is alive to the advantage Of
being made the terminus of this new
line, and has, through it's board of
trade, written General Manager ]. S
Morton to that effect. In reply Mr..
Morton writes as follows:
1.-The announcement in the Manu-
facturer's Record is a little bit elab
crate and premature; we are, however,

gauge, and have 10 miles completed
from Byromville, Ca, to Flint river.
and have purchased material to con-
struct bridge and cross the river.
circumstances and inducements
will go a long ways in determining
where our destination will be after

IF your organization should feel in
terested in this proposition, would be
pleased to have an interview with you
in the near future. We own all our
rail and equipment and have no debts,
Just a little different from most of the
