Yerbage of Note Forecast.

BERLIN, May "a wireless mes
sage to the Associated Press via Say
vile, L. l., early today announces the
draft of the German reply to the
American note concerning submarine
activities, has been finished and is now
subject only to minor alterations. The
reply states Germanys attitude in
clear, precise terms, which leave no
room to doubt the exact position as
sumed by the imperial government, in
cluding the definite nature of instruc.
tons which will in future be given to
German submarine commanders and
other data on which hthe Washington
government can judge it's actions and
purposes.
The Associated Press, because of it's
widespread influence as the foremost
news gathering and disseminating
agency in the United States, is permit
ted to make these statements upon the
highest authorized authority, although
the censorship on dispatches tending
to reveal the tenor of the German re-
ply is still effective. The date upon
which the note is to be finally delivered
at the state department in Washing
ton has not yet been definitely fixed,
but this is expected to be during the
next few days, probably during Thurs
day.

Fl. OGLETHORPE
SCENE Of GREAT
M|L|TARYACTIV|TY

FOR OGLEHORPE, Ga, May s.
Hundreds of business and professional
men from all over the eastern and
southern states are here today for the
opening of the Southern Military
Training camp, the first ancampment
Of its kind to be inaugurated south of
the Ohio river, and the second in the
history of the nation. Lieutenant Col
.onel Ketcham, of the Coast Artillery
corps, is at the head of the big camp
and will direct it's activities during
the two months it will continue. He is
being assisted by large staff of reg
ular army officers.
The camp is being conducted as an
infantry organization and as fast as
participants reach camp they are or
gnized into companies of one hundred
and fifty men, under command of a
regular army captain and two lieuten-
ants. Every activity that can be parti-
cipated in by infantry troops during
actual warfare, except, of course, such
as would injure those taking part, will
be gone into during the continuance
Of the camp. The first drill of the
recruits will probably occure late this
afternoon.
The camp as organized under direc-
tion and command of regular army Off
GERS, is recognized as al model training
camp for citizen-soldiers, and partici-
pants are said to gain during thirty
days as much military knowledge al
one of these camps as can be secured
during two years of service of the
.ational guard organizations. The first
Of these civilian military camps ever
held was thai az Plattsburg, N. Y, last
years.

let it slip through their fingers. Some
OF the benefits to be derived from its
coming would be the opening of an
outlet for the trade of Dooly county in
this direction as we'll as that of the
2Sth district in this county, making of
Americus an objective point for the
business interests of those sections.
Further, the location of the shops in
this city would open up an enlarged
field of industrial activities, affording
work for more men, thus increasing
Americus' population and thereby en-
hancing realty values here.
Messrs. L. G. Council and FRANK
Lanier and Carr S. Glover are COM
pittee of three who will canvass the
situation thoroughly, consider the mat
ter of selecting a site for the termi-
nails and the shops and will report at
the meeting Friday morning.
This is a strong committee and the
people of Americus and surrounding
section may rest assured that every
thing possible will be done to bring
this new road to Americus.

A re- .esentative body of business
men met at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms Tuesday night for this purpose.
The proposition looking to the secur-
ing of this road, the Americus, Hawk
insville & Southwestern, was discussed
and considered from every angle, and
it was unanimously decided to get it.
The proposition as made by J. H.
Morton, president of the new road, is
for Americus to raise $4,000, same to
he stock in the road Also a site for
a terminal and railroad shops is to be
donated.
Those subscribing to this $4,000
fund will be given three installments
in which to pay, and that during the
time of constructing the line from it's
present terminus to Americus. Thus
the subscriptions will be made easy to
handle.
Next Friday morning, May 9TH, an
other meeting will be held in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms for the
taking of further action and considera-
ton of the matter Citizens from the
surrounding towns in the count as
well as those of this immediate COM
ntunity, will be present and take part
in the deliberations and the formulat-
irg of plans whereby the effort may
be pushed forward to rapid and early
completion.
The building of this new road is of
vital Importance to the citizens of
Americus and Sumter county, and it
behooyes every one to become actively
Interested and to cooperate with eacn
other to the end that the road will be
thing of certainty.
The coming of this road to Americus
will spell new life and renewed pros
nGrity to this city and section, and to
lose it would be calamity of far
reaching effect.
Already the road has been built from
Games, in Dooly county, on the line OF
the A., B. & A. railroad to the Sum-
ter county line at Copperas Bluff, on
the Flint river, and it will be only a
matter of very short time when the

PENN 0ARSMEN
MAKE RECORD TN
PRACTICE SPIN
Quaker Varsity Covers a.
Mile Course in 19:l5-
Crews Encouraged.
Try Telegraph to Ths Tribuns.l

Poughkeepsie, y. Y, June l3,-Penn-
sylvania's varsity crew rowed sensa-
t'onal time trial over the four-mile re-
eatta course on tho Hudson this after
noon. Under conditions that were al
most ideal the Quaker varsity eight
swept over the course in 10 minutes, 10
seconds, the best time made by any
crew over the course in training this
season.
The result of this trial brought cheer
20 the Pennsylvania quarters, where
tho depressing changes and poor prac-
lice spins of the last ten days had re-
duced the confidence OF the oarsmen TO
a low ebb. Incidentally, when the news
Of tie fast time made by the Quakers
spread around the other camps, there
was an immediate change in the attl-
tude toward the Red and Blue crew.
II was a slashing trial from the first
stroke to the last, and Wright had
every man in the boat rowing as If It
were the race itself. For two miles
the varsity boat and the erstwhile
varsity, the crew which was denoted
several days ago in order that the pres
ont varsity might have the honor Of
going to the starting line in the big
race, fought savagely, the new varsity
winning in the last quarter of a mile
by something like three quarters of a
length.
Ross, the old varsity stroke set the
pace of his junior crew at 80, but de-
spite their utmost efforts they were
unable TO do more than hold the 'varsi-
~ boat, travelling along at 30 clip.
Then when the junior eight had been
shaken off the varsity found new
trouble awaiting it in the freshman
shell, which was waiting to do the
pacing of the last two miles.
The youngsters did the job and did
II well, because they got the jump on
the varsity in the first quarter mile.
The varsity pulled itself together
and went after the cubs at a stroke
that gradually crept up until it hit
"a, but the freshmen never came back
within reaching distance, and they
went across the line two lengths ahead
of the varsity boat, which ended its
four-mile sprint with driving 81.
Evidence Of the power and speed and
stamina of this crew of insists and
leftovers from two previous rowing
regimes at Pennsylvania out of which
Joe Wright has moulded varsity
crew is shown by the fact that the last
mile was traversed within two seconds
as fast az the first.
The time for the first fourth of the
long pull was minutes 43 seconds
The two-mile mark was reached in 9
minutes 40 seconds, giving 4 minutes
81 seconds for the second mile. The
third mile post was passed in II min
utes 80 seconds, showing 5 minutes 81
seconds for the third mile, and then
the last mile was reeled off in 4 min.
utes 40 seconds.
