Rumania'S Plight is Acute.
(By Associated Press.)

Rumanias plight continued acute to-
day, with no signs of a stand being
successfully made by either the Ru-
manians or Russians. Although Turk
ish reports last night said the Teutons
were within eight miles of Bucharest
the chief force of their thrust seemed
to be exerted toward Ploschti, north
west of Bucharest, with the apparent
home of cutting off the Rumanian re-
treat by railroad toward Moldavis.
Petrograd said the Rumanians had
retired into the Tergovistea-Pl Ploschti
sector and along the Titu-Bucharest
railways, and declared the Teutons
had been driven back at other points.
The Berlin statement said that Rus
sion attacks in the Carpathians failed
hut admitted that the Russians sue,
ceeded in reaching the German second
line in the Trotus valley.
Paris announced further Serbian anG
French successes in Macedonia, with
a violent artillery duel in progress
north OF Monastir.
The British cabinet crisis is still
acute, dispatches show, with indica.
tons pointing to David Lloyd-Georgt
as the man through whom it may be
solved. One dispatch says Lloyd
George has been summoned by King
Georgia, the customary proceeding
when statesman is to be asked tC
form a ministry.

WANTED: SOME PRETTY GIRL
WILLING TO REPRESENT
ATLANTA AT BEAUTY SHOW

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 6.-"Uncle jim"
Woodward, Atlanta's fore OF less we'll
known retiring mayor, is calling in
vain for a beautiful girl to represent
this city in the beauty contest in New
York, where the cities of the country
will compete for the honor of queen
Of the preparedness bazaar.
Mayor Woodward has asked for vol
unteers, but while the streets of At
lanta are thronged with pretty girls,
so that man can hardly walk down
Teachtree street without getting run
over by an automobile when he allows
his gaze to wander, none has been
found who will enter the New York
contest

AMERICAN SHIP
SHELLED BY SUB.
SAYS THE CREW.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The steamship
John Lambert. carrying a crew of six
teen Americans and listed as an Amer
ican vessel, was shelled and sunk
without warning by German subma-
rine twenty-five miles south of. the
Isle of Wight, on November 22nd, ac-
cording to members Of the crew who
arrived here today on board the French
liner Epacne, from Bordeaux.
The John Lambert, was the last of
twelve vessels built on the Great
Lakes, which the French line had
agreed to purchase, and was being TAX
en- to Havre for delivery to the pur-
chasers when sunk according to to-
days arrivals here. Engineer Edward
Harrison of the Lambert said today
that his first knowledge of a subma-
rine being in the vicinity was when a
shell was sent through the bridge of
the Lambert. The shelling continued
without intermission while the crew
were taking to the ships boats, state
survivors. After taking to small boats
the crew of the Lambert rowed forty
miles to the French coast, where they
were picked up by patrol vessels.

REST ROOM SITE IS
NOT YET SELECTED

Prominent members of the Woman's
club met this morning at the Chamber
of Commerce and arranged the plans
for the rest room in this city. The def
mite location of the proposed feature
has not been selected.
The club will be for the women Wis
itors to the city, especially those in
the rural districts and visitors to
Americus while shopping. 1t will be
neatly furnished, and in charge of the
Woman's club, which has made the
rest room possible. This is one OF
the many constructive features, which

ization, composed of prominent wo-
men Of the city.

ing with such receipts.
Before the breaking out of the
European war" says the report, "the
amount of the collections indicated
that under normal conditions the
present tariff will produce all the
revenue it was estimated it would
produce at the time it was drawn, and
since the war the receipts under the
tariff bill have been all that could be
expected under the present condit-
tions."
Mr.. McAdoo points out that for the
year the value of imports was about
$4S4,000,000 greater than the previous
year and those of exports $2,76S, $780,
$40 greater.
Congress is asked to amend the anti
narcotic law in view Of the Supreme
Court Interpretation of the clause re-
lating to drugs in possession and to
provide funds to care for drug addicts
through government treatment
ITO cut off suddenly the supply of
drugs without curing the addict of his
cravings or making any provision for
the amelioration of his sufferings, -
says the report, lis not only inhum-
ane but encourages evasions of the
law"
Appropriations are asked to enable
the Public Health Service to prose

il and for the aviation section of the
Coast Guard, authorized but given no
funds by Congress.

SOUTH CHECKING
MOVEMENTS FOR
NEGROES NORTH

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 6.-In an effort
to check the widespread migration OF
Southern negroes to Northern labor
fields, negro leaders and white econ
omists have Joined forces and at mass
meetings which are being held gener-
ally repointing out that no perma-
nent gain awaits the average negro in
the North. 1t is estimated that fully
100000 negroes already have left the
Southern states since the northward
movement began last summer.
Alluring offers of high wages and
easy work made by labor agents in all
parts of the South, appear to have met
with general response from negroes
in all sections. Varied reasons have
been adbanved for the apparent will
ingness Of so many negroes to leave
their homes.
A serious shortage of labor in the
cotton fields next spring and summer
is feared, if the exodus continues.
When the movement began several
months ago it was not viewed serious
ly, but when labor agents were sue
cessful in indusing thousands of ne
groes to go North to work, employers
Of labor in the South became alarmed
Efforts were made to hamper the
agents by law. In some cities ordi-
nances providing a prohibitive license
fee for such agents were passed. Old
laws were scanned to ascertain if some
means could be found to stay the mi
grafton. These efforts resulted in slight
but in the main the movement con-
tinued on large scale.
The negroes were brought in from
the country and small towns to con-
centration points and in many in
6tances shipped north in trainload lots
After several hundred had been col.
lected at Montgomery, Ala, something
went wrong with the agents plans
and the negroes were left without any
money and away from home 1t was
then that the situation was first taken
Sc riously in Alabama
In most cases the Southern negroes
have been placed where labor has been
scarce in the more thickly populated
districts. Reports of their welfare
vary, but those which have gained the
widest circulation in the South tell
OF hardships suffered principally be-
cause of the cold weather which the
negro as a race cannot stand. One
report told of an old negro farmer
Who had sold everything he owned
.ut mule and hal gone north. Soon
after cold weather came his wife re-
ccived this telegram: Sell the mule
and send money to me. It's cold and
want to come home"
