BIRTH OF SHAKESPEARE
WILL BE HONORED ALL
OVER GERMAN EMPIRE

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Ger-
many will celebrate generally next
week the three hundredth anniver-
sary Of the birth of Shakespeare, say
advices reaching here today from the
American Association of Commerce
and Trade in Berlin. The English
mans play will be presented in many
cities throughout the empire. Max
Reinhardt, the producer will stage
several Shakespearean dramas du-
ring the week at the Deutsches the
ater in Berlin. The Volksbuhne in
Berlin and the Royal theater in Dres-
den also will present Shakespeare
works.
Shakespeare for many years has
been considered almost a national
poet in Germany and translations are
almost counterparts of the English
originals.

AN ULT|MATUM
GOES TO GERMANY
FROM PRESIDENT
WILSON TELLS LEADERS CON-
TENTS OF MESSAGE WHICH
WAS FORWARDED ON TUESDAY
NIGHT LAST.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Presi-
dent Wilson has sent the note to Ger
many warning her that unless attacks
on merchantmen carrying Americans.
In violation of International law, are
stopped, diplomatic relations will be
severed
The president revealed this fact to
Senators Stone and Lodge and Rep
resentatives Flood and Cooper, rank
ing Democrats and Republican men,
bers of the congressional foreign af-
falrs committee, at conference at
the White House early today.
The president, in his address to
congress at 1 pm. today revealed fully
what he has told Germany. The note
and his address, the congressional
leaders said, contains the plain state
ment that the alternative is the bl eak-
ing of friendly relations.
The president explained that the
note practically is an ultimatum, but
does not contain a time limit. A
demand is made, however, that Ger
many reply Immediately.
The president went over the situa-
|'tion very thoroughly with the COM
mittee leaders and told them ex-
plicitly he believed the United States
could not remain on frinedly terms
with Germany if American lives con
tinued to be placed in jeopardy by
German submarines. He laid before
them all information he will convey
in his address to congress. The de-
mand for stop to illegal submarine
warfare, the president told the lead
ers, is unequivocal
AS the committeeman left the
White House they made no effort to
conceal what the president had told
them.
The president made it plain, how
ever, that if Germany still cares to
conduct her submarine warfare in
accordance with the accepted rules of
international law the American gov
ernment will be glad to continue
friendly relations.

GEORGIA STATE MlLiTlAMEN
MAY ESTABLISH A RIFLE
RANGE.

General J. Van Holt Nash, adjutant
tain Arthur McCollum, aide of the
quartermaster department, will arrive
in the city this morning and will 60
today on the Seagate to st. Simon for
the purpose of inspecting the possibil-
tiles of the island for the suitability
OF establishing rifle range, and plan
ming for the summer encampment that
will be held there during the season
by several regiments.
Major C. A. Taylor will accompany
these army officials to the island on
the trip and will help to find st. ST.
mons suitability for the encampment.
Also Mr.. Aiken and some railway Off
cials will go along.
1t is not yet definitely known that
the Brunswick Riflemen will encamp
there. although this place has been
used for many years, much to the sat
isfaction of the upstate gentlemen,
and is pronounced as the most popu-
lar location in the state. 1t is likely
that the entire state national guard,
with the exception of the artillery
corps, which encamps at Anniston,
Ala, will be called to this desirable To-
cation, much to the benefit of Bruins
wick, although no official orders have
been yet received by the Brunswick
Riflemen
Prospects are bright for the island,
and the range will likely be made the
best ever in it's history.

FINAL NOTICE IS GIVEN GERMANY
CONGRESS TOLD BY
PRESIDENT WILSON,
OF RECENT ACTIONS

the danger to neutral vessels would
,be reduced to a minimum by the in
structions which it had issued to its
, submarine commanders, and assured
, the government of the United States
, that it would take every possible pre-
caution both to respect the rights of
neutrals and to safeguard the lives of
non-combatants.
What has actually happened in the
year which has since elapsed has
shown that those hopes were not
justified, those assurance insuscepti-
BILE of being fulfilled.
"1n pursuance of the policy of
submarine warfare against the COM
merce of it's adversaries thus an
nounced and entered upon by the inn
perial German government in spite
of the solemn protest of this govern
ment, the commanders of German
undersea vessels have attacked mer-
chant ships with greater and greater
activity, not only upon the high seas
surrounding Great Britain and Ire
land, but wherever they could en-
counter them, in a way that has
grown more and more ruthless, more
and more indiscriminate as the
months have gone by, less and less
observant of restraints of any kind,
land have delivered their attacks with
out compunction against vessels of
every nationality and bound upon
every sort of errand. Vessels Of neu-
Sral ownership, even vessels of neu-
trail ownership bound from neutral
port to neutral port, have been de-
stroyed along with vessels of bel
ligerent ownership in constantly in
creasing numbers.
Sometimes the merchantmen at
tackled has been warned and sum-
moned to surrender before being fired
on or torpedoed; sometimes passen-
gers or crews have been vouchsafed
the poor security of being allowed to
take to the ships boats before she
was sent to the bottom But again
and again no warning has been given,
no escape even to the ships boats al
lowed to those on board"

STREET GREATLY
SURPRISED BY WILSON'S
SUDDEN DETERMINATION

NEW YORK. April 19.-Wall
street accepted latest developments
in the German controversy with mis-,
givings, judging from the weak tone
of the stock market at. the opening
today. War shares and all the bet
ter known specialties broke from
to almost 3 points, the entire list re-
fleeting hurried liquidation. Bethle-
hem steel broke 10 points to 421.
The railroads and other represent
ative stocks were under better con-
troll, but the decline was broader and
accompanied by greater activity
than any session thus far this year.
The presidents decision to submit
the German situation to congress
came as a great surprise to the
financial district and commission
houses with wire connections were
almost overwhelmed with liquidating
orders.

P. A. GLIDDEN OF DETROIT
PLEASED WITH BRUNSWICK
Here Looking After Farming In
terests in This County.

P. A. Glidden of Detroit. Mich, is
spending few days in the city look
ing after his farm interests in Glynn
county. Mr. Glidden is a successful
man and of course a booster. He
spends a great deal of his time trav-
cling and is always saying good
word for this splendid section, whose
wonderful possibilities he has become
acquainted with during his visits
south.
Mr.. Glidden carries with him a bus
mess card for his Brunswick Farms"
which he displays, much to the ad-
vantage of this section. A new fea-
is the slogan "See Georgia First"
which will become more and more pop
ular in the north among automobile
tourists as the Dixie highway becomes
better advertised.
few years ago tourists to Florida
would take berth at Atlanta and
never even peep out of the window
until they reached the state below
Georgia, but they are now finding that
southern Georgia is even better than
Florida in many ways and especially
in the matter of investing. The auto
mobile tourist is already taking the
place of the railroad tourist and by
thus travelling in daylight, Georgia is
becoming better known to the world
of progress and an era of greater
prosperity than is ever seen here is
now in the near future, according to
the opinion of Mr. Glidden.

TROOPS T0E|THER
WITHDRAW OR To
MAKE new MOVE
BELIEF THAT AMERICANS WILL
LEAVE MEXICO is BECOMING
WIDEsPREAD-coNcENrRATiNo
AT THREE POINTS.

Ell PASO, Texas, April 19.-Con-
firmation OF reports that to Ameri-
can expeditionary force was being
concentrated at three points in Mex
'ico preparatory either for the with.
'drawal of the troops or the organiza-
ton of new and more extensive
campaign was received here today
from Mexican sources.
1t was said that General Pershng
had withdrawn all outlying detach-
ments south of Namiquipa and in the
neighborhood of 5000 men were
'camped at San Antonio. twelve miles
west of Cusihuiarachic, and that a
force estimated at almost double this
number was being concentrated near
Namiquipa.
The belief that the American troops
are about to leave Mexico is wide
spread among the Mexicans in Juarez
and has completely changed the at
titude of the people, who after the
Parral incident gave marked indica-
tions of hostility toward Americans
Supplementing reports that the po-
litical situation in Mexico was of
minor importance in comparison with
the economic conditions and the raw
ages of typhus epidemic which has
been sweeping through the central
states, an American mining official re.
ecived messages today that relief was
urgently needed II thousands of the
poems in Durango, Coahuila, Aguas
Calientes, San Luis Potosi and IA
catecas were not to perish.
These messages stated that there
were between 1000 and 5000 cases of
typhus In the city of Aguas Calientes
and similar proportion in almost
/ every city of Importance in central
Mexico, including Queretaro. The
man who received these messages is
the head of a concern with very
large interests in Mexico and which In
normal times employs several thou
sand Mexican workmen. He said that
as far as the lack OF food was con
cerned he had tried to do something
toward relieving the distress of his
former employees by sending corn and
beans to points where the destitution
was worst

REPUBLICANS IN
CONVENTION HERE
PUT IN NEW REGIME
JACKSON FACTION WALKED OUT
WHEN THEY FOUND THEM
SELVES IN MiNORITY-JOHN-
soNIANs FAVOR ROOSEVELT.

The Eleventh district Republican
convention held here yesterday caused
quite row of excitement among the
well-to-do colored element and proved
that the colored race is not without
the political instinct
The old Jackson regime. filled with
anti-Roosevelt inclinations, came
down to Brunswick to formally name
themselves officers of the convention,
elect themselves Republican delegates
to the national convention at Chicago
June 6 and endorse their own candi-
dates for Republican national commit
teeman and United States congress
from this district
The convention was called to order
at noon in Toomer's hall by Chairman
G. p. Washington of Waycross and a
mele of fuss and political storm en-
sued in which the old regime found
themselves sadly in the minority and
peacefully left the convention hall. 1t
was rumored that they waited until the
Johnson faction, who favor Roosevelt
for the Republican nomination for
president had formed their organiza-
ton, elected their officers, delegate,
and made their endorsements, and
then came back to the hall where
they had another convention, doing
| the same thing for their faction. This
rumor, however, could not be substan-
tiated last night, and it was stated by
some who are well Informed about the
matter, that they did not again get
Together, but quietly waited until their
trains came on which they returned to
their respective homes. sge
The Johnson element had a raft OF
money lose for wagersawith odds that
the Jackson faction from this state
would not be recognized in Chicago
but it was said that few of the pol
iticians had nerve enough to back
their faction with anything substan-
tial.
| e. R. Belcher of this city took the
chair when it was vacated by Wash
| ington of of Waycross and c.. w
Brinkley of ST Marys was made floor
manager,
The new organization elected S. s.
Sellers of Baxley as chairman and "A
| N. Fluker Of Argyle as vice chairman,
and r. r. Mobley of Valdosta as sec
retary They elected r. r. Griffin of
Quitman, prominent business man
| as delegate from the Eleventh dis
| trict to the Chicago convention, and
| j. F. Overstreet as alternate. They
also endorsed Capt. II. Blum of Sa
vannah as national committeeman and
nominated R. r. Mobley of Valdosta
for congress from this district
1t was stated last night by promi-
nent members of the Johnson faction
that the Jacksons are losing out all
over the state, and that while the
Johnson delegates are not pledged, the
faction they represent are in favor of
Roosevelt as the only man capable OF
swinging the Progressive vote and
giving the Republicans chance of
victory in November, and it is expect
ed that they will cast heir ballot for
the gentlemen from Oyster Bay at
Chicago in June.

BANG

First comes the infant, with noisy
rattle breaking all the glassware
within the reach of his whirling arms.
Then the youngster, delighting in
the crash of falling glass from win
dow pane demolished by rocks from
his ever present sling-shot.
Next the 16-year-oid, blowing tin
cans and bottles sky-high with his
beloved "22."
And last the full grown man,
crouched in the grass with shotgun
to shoulder, impatiently awaiting the
appearance of the frightened covey.
And so the instructive desire to ex-
hibit and exercise our Lower by the
destruction of weaker things crops
out from the very cradle The man
who blows into eternity with a shot
gun duck or quail experiences the
same exhiliration in the realization of
his own power as the small boy
breaking window-panes.
He loves to exclaim: Now you
see it-now you don't. I did it." It
is his way of showing himself and
others what powers of destruction lie
within him, from which he derives the
keenest pleasure.
The hunting season is almost here,
and the grown-up boys will soon be
afield.

the many things that this department

crete bleachers, the numerous base
ball and football fields, fine cinder
track and fair-sized gymnasium, it
would seem that all branches of ath-
letics and all kind of athletes were
amply equipped, but the facts of the

clusion.
One of the first things the careful

sufficient tennis courts, and poor

This was the war cry Of the bust

against statewide prohibition. Now
the business men of St. Louis or any

the underworld in our cities. Here
life is poverty-stricken in every as

is against sane and decent living.
Crowded living-quarters, poor food,
insufficient clothing, evil associates,
