WORKING ON BUST
OF v0N H|ND[NBURG

BERLIN, April 21.-Professor Helm
rich Cauer, we'll known sculptor who
has been engaged for some time on a
bust of Hindenburg, contributes to
tie Bauseitung pen picture of the
popular military leader.
"Hindenburgs entire figure" he
writes, from the crown of his head to
the soles of his feet, measures a trife
over six feet. He holds himself with
soldiery erectness, but his head is
usually bent forward, habit which
one always notices in big men accus-
toned to speak with those of lesser
stature. He gives you the impression
OF knight in armor. Hish deep voice
and his remarks, often whimsical, but
never injurious or ironical, are full of
kindness and friendliness.
IF you look at Hindenburg closely
you will notice a furrow over the
nose drawn between the swellings of
tie brow. This furrow has been graz
en- by the gigantic responsibilities of
the present war. You get the impress
ion of strain and even suffering, an
impression somehow heightened by
the yellow color of the skin.
"The Field Marshall is lean. Photo
graphs had led me to expect a fat
man. But he is actually thin, and this
thinness increases the impression of
energy in the face and is certainly
preferable from the artists point of
view.

SAM SMALL TOBE
IN AMER|CUS At
COURT HOUSE, z

Sam Small, of Georgia, the noted
preacher and temperance lecturer, will
speak in Americus tomorrow after
noon, Saturday, at the courthouse.
DR.. Small is a native Georgian, a
newspaper man by profession, but
early in his career forsook newspaper
work for a broader and larger sphere,
that of the ministry, and later drifted
on to the platform where he has won
most enyiable laurels. AS a speaker
he has few peers. Fluent in speech,
graceful in manner and convincing in
argument he never fails to hold his
audiences in wrapt attention.
At present DR.. Small is in the SER
vice of the Anti-Saloon League, as one
Of the leagues national lecturers. His
theme here will be Law and Order In
Georgia" That he will handle his
subject in his usual masterful man
ner and with gloves off, goes without
the saying. Large crowds have greet
ed him at other places in the state,
where heh as spoken, and without
doubt the same kind of reception will
be given him here.
Remember the time and place, at the
courthouse in this city tomorrow af-
ternoon at o'clock.

ANOTHER BOAT HIT
WOULD BREAK OFF
Lansing and Will
SOnCOnfer On
Matter

WASHINGTON, D. c., April I'll
Secretary Lansing conferred with
President Wilson before the cabinet
meeting this morning, and later said
no action should be expected until a
reply is received from Germany on the
submarine question, or another ship
carrying Americans is torpedoed by
German submarines.
Secretary Lansing stated that in the
event diplomatic relations are brokea
the United States probably will cease
looking after German interests in other
countries.
A series of religious holidays rigid
ly observed in Germany and starting
today may delay the note in answer to
the American communication, No word
has yet been received from Germany,
though it is unoficially reported the
preliminary draft of a reply has been
sent to the German foreign office for
correction and revision.

HIGHER PRICES ON
SUGAR IN PANAMA

PANAMA, April 21-Higher prices
and improy ements in the method of
manufacture and better transportation
facilities are having their effect on the
sugar production of the Republic of
Panama. Heavy sugar shipments are
beginning to come from the large
Santa Rosa mill near Aguadulce in
the Province of Colce. This province
is now the center of the sugar indus
try of the republic but probably will
have a serious rival in the Province of
Chiriqui when the new railway is in
augurated there.
The indications are that the present
seasons run will be fully 10000 sacks
as compared with 1900 last year. The
product finds ready market at $3.50
per hundred weight for the best
grade, the brown sugar bringing
something less. Most of the sugar
production is consumed within the
borders of the country although a
small quantity is exported to neigh
boring republics.
Considerable progress has recently
been made in sugar cane~cpltivation
in Chiriqui Province where several
Americans have acquired large tracts
of land. Preparation are now under
way for the construction of a large
sugar mill in that vicinity. The new
railway which President Porras opens
to traffic next month probably will
stimulate both the sugar and coffee
production Of that section Of the coun-
try.
