LONDON, April 19.-The abandon
ment by the German general staff of
plans for a general offensive in
France is inferred in Rome from in
formation received there. This decis-
ion, it is said, is also indicated by Off
cal communication received by the
Italian cabinet, as we'll as by state
ments of Germans in official circles
there
Geneva dispatches today give the
impression that the Austrians and
Germans have decided to concentrate
their energies on the eastern cam
paign, and a council of war presided
over by Field Marshal Vo1 Hinden-
berg, is alleged to have decided upon
the transfer of a much of the heavy
artillery now before Verrdun. Hun
garian cavalry now in the west, is also
to be transferred to Cracow, Galicia.
The situation in the east today re-
mains doubtful, with the Russians
claiming control of the principal chain
of the Carpathian mountains, and
much of the territory actually ii
their possession, and the Austrian war
office asserting vehemently that Austro-
German forces in that area of hostil-
tiles winning further victories.

J. ". WHEATLEY
AGED RESIDENT
AMER|CUS DEAD

Mr.. John Wright Wheatley passed
away peacefully during the early hours
this morning at his residence here
where, during many months, he had
been closely confined by ill-health
In view of his enfeebled condition the
death of this honored and esteemed
citizen was not unexpected, though
none-the-less deplored among hun
dreds here who knew and loved him
we'll. His demise is not only a loss
to his community, but alike to his
state, which he had served so well.
For nearly sixty-five years he had
been prominently identified with the
leading business and public interests
of Americus and Sumter county, and
influential in promoting their material
growth and prosperity, and his wise
counsel and strong individuality were
ever factors for the community good.
Strong, able, self-reliant, he was
a dependable man, giant oak which
has succumbed only win the weight
of years and physical infrmity His
life's work was ably performed, and
he sleeps we'll.
Funeral services will be held this
afternoon at o'clock at Oakgrove
cemetery, conducted by Rev. J. w.
Stokes, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, of which the deceased was a
valued and consistent member. The
active pallbearers will be Messrs. John
W. Shiver, R. E. McNulty, Frank P.
Harold, John Sheffield, C. P. Davis, II.
S. Broadhurst, Albert Harris; honor
ary pallbearers. Messrs. John A. Cobb,
R. ]. Perry, w. E. Brown, George W.
Riley, Samuel Harrison, Thomas Har-
rold.
Hundreds will join in paying final
fearful tribute to one so worthy and
in life so much beloved by the entire
people of Americus.
Mr.. Wheatley came to Americus
from his boyhood home in Northum-
berland Penn, on December oath,
1850. There were few railroads 4
Georgia at the time, and he was oblig-
ed to walk part of the way from Mt
con here.
Industrious and capable. he quickly
found employment here with his cous-
in, R. T. Mccoy, a merchant. Soon
thereafter he formed a business part
nership with H. Kent Mccoy in the
drug business. In 1855 he was in bus
mess with Perry H. Oliver, a merchant
doing business upon the present size
of the Commercial City bank, of
which the deceased was the honored
president since it's establishment sew
eral years ago.
Though of northern birth, Mr..
Wbeatley gave his services to the Con-
federa1y as did his two brothers here,
Charles NJ. and Thornton Wheatley. He
was made aid de camp upon the staff
of General Kent Mccoy with the rank
of major, and served in defense of At
lanta, and in the battles Of Jonesbor1
and Griswoldville, among others.
On May 10th, 1855, Mr. Wheatley
was married to Miss Mary f. Dudley
the beautiful young daughter of Hon
George Edward Dudley, who through
out a period of near sixty years has
been his loving helpmeat. One daugh'
ter, Mrs. Callie Wheatley Smith, now
deceased, and three sons, John W;
George D., and Crawford Wheatley
blessed their union, the two latter
