two young men who left Americus
some time ago to enter the United
States navy, have recently been trans
ferred to training stations at Norfolk,
Va, and Newport, R. J., respectively.

vice on board ship. Glawson is now
at Norfolk, where he is being trained
as a seaman, while Conner has been
sent to Newport, where he will be
prepared for duty in the hospital de
partmenJ or the navy.
Both these young men are we'll

be sent.

young men, Bryant Belcher and Her

FORMER PRISONER SENDS
BASEFUL OUTFIT

ATLANTA, Ca, April 4.-There US
ed to be man in the United States
penitentiary in Atlanta named Freder.
ick Hyde. He was a Californian, a
millionaire and the finest sport that
ever walked through the doors of the
institution. He treated his term in the
prison as holiday and a magnificent
opportunity for studying types OF
human nature and making his fellow
prisoners happy.
He was the man who furnished the
money to buy musical instruments and
baseball uniforms and other prison
paraphernalia when the prisoners
couldn't raise the price When he fin
ished out his term and left the prison
they gave him the most wonderful
ovation a man ever received.
Returning to his old home in Cali
fornia and his old haunts and friends,
Frederick Hyde did not forget his
friends in the federal prison, al
though he was sailing a yacht and
driving a high-powered automobile and
having good time generally. On the
anniversary of his dismissal yesterday
from the penitentiary the warden re-
ceiver huge express package ad-
dressed to "The Boys of the U. S. P,
Atlanta, Ca, and on opening it he
found complete outfit of new base
ball uniforms for "The Commodores," !"
with the request that team in the
federal prison league be given this
name, and that they wear the uniforms
in their games.

AUT0M0B|uSTs DECLARE
ATLANTA STREETS ARE
HARDEST IN WORLD

ATLANTA, Ca, April 4.-Visiting
automobilists declare Atlanta streets
are the hardest in the world to drive
on at night, because every one uses
glaring searchlights. City council Of
tlanta, as a result of these complaints,
has just enacted an ordinance requir-
ing automobilists to put on DINNERS to
relieve the glare, but the ordinance
has been dead-letter from the day Of
its enactment. Atlanta automobilists
believe in lots of light. They say it
takes all the zest out of night riding
to dim their lights. They like to come
plunging down the white Way" with
their headlights cleaning like the pow
erful rays of searchlights used to To-
cate Zeppelins in raids over London.
They have politely but firmly refused
to pay any attention to the DINNER
ordinance, and so far the police are
permitting them to have their way.

new WRINKLE
IN sheet MUSIC
IS INTRODUCED

ATLANTA, Ga, April A decided
ly new wrinkle in sheet music has
been introduced to their patrons by
Atlanta dealers. Instead of the old
style inserted sheet, which made il
necessary for the instrumentalist to
stop and turn leaf in the midst of a
selection, the new style compositions
are printed on the two inside faces Of
a folded sheet, The type is somewhat
smaller, in the case of songs, and the
music score is somewhat finer print,
but in spite of this inconvenience, the
musicians who used the new-fangled
scores declare the two-sheet music is
vast improvement over the old-style
three-sheet kind.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 4.-Be-
ing fully convinced that Villa is now
south of Chihuahua City and continu-
ing his flight, at Gen. Funston's head
quarters here it was intimated today
that additional troops may be re-
quired to protect the constantly length
ening line of communications in Mex,
leo.
General Funston's problem of ar
ranging to carry the campaign deeper
into Mexico is a difficult one, as the
line already extends three hundred
miles south of the border and must be
guarded over it's entire length. The
expedition, it is explained would be
in dangerous position if its commun-
ications should be cut.
Officers at Fort Sam Houston re-
gard the force of troops chasing Villa
as adequate for the task in hand, but
dc not believe, however, that the line
Of communications can be heightened
further without more troops. None of
the regiments now on border duty are
available for this purpose, and there
are only few regiments in other part;
Of the country that might be en-
ployed in the Mexican operations.

PUT OFF ACTION
ON ATTACKS WITH
BOARD

WASHINGTON D. c., April At
is announced here that President Will
son and members of his cabinet today
decided to postpone action on the
course to be pursued by the United
States, regarding recent attacks on
ships carrying Americans. Conclus
i've evidence that these ships were a.
tually attacked by submarines is lack
ing, as we'll as information concern
ing the identity of submarines suspect
ed of having attacked certain vessels,
and for these reasons, it was deemed
proper tosuspend action until further
investigation is had.

THREE PLANES
BROUGHT DOWN
IN ANCONA RAID

There is a slight lull in the battle
for Verduns, following the violent
fighting of yesterday, during which the
French pushed their way back to the
northern outskirts of Cailette wood ane
regained footing in Vaux village.
There were no infantry engagements
during last night.
Artillery was notably active north
west of the Verdun fortresses, and ar
tillery on both sides was actively en-
ployed along the line of the Avocourt-
Malancourt front. Every foot of the
German lines at Malancourt was vio-
lently bombarded during the night.
Norway, says a Copenhagen des-
patch, has asked the Berlin govern
ment to investigate and furnish in
formation whether German subma-
rines are responsible for the sinking
OF large number of Norwegian ves-
sells recently.
Berlin dispatches declare strong
French positions southwest of Doupa-
mont and Cailette wood have been
taken by the Germans.

POACHER LEAVES
TRAIL OF BLOOD BEHIND

BABY LONE, L. l., April 4.-WiIliam
)onley, we'll known hunter and guide,
is dead at his home here. He shot him
self after having wounded five persons
ir a battle with the sheriff and fif-
teen deputies, who attempted to ar
rest Donley.
The dead man is believed to have
gone insane since his recent arrest or
a charge of shooting buck deer out OF
season. Being convicted, he was fine
$500 which he was unable to pay.
Donley accused two of his neighbors
of making the complaint against him
and during the fight before his death
both of these were wounded. A third
neighbor who intervened was also in =
jured. Donley then barricaded him
self and shooting through a small aper-
ture in the door succeeded in wound
ing a woman and a policeman. He
saved his last bullet for himself, and
placing his weapon to his head pulled
the trigger.

BALL TEAMS
CROSS BATS AMERICUS

The Americus Institute baseball
team was Monday unable to compare
with their rivals from Tallahassee,
Fla, and the local negro institution
went down to defeat, 6 to 4. A large
crowd was on hand to witness the con-
test, quite number of white people
being among the spectators.
The game was replete with hard
hitting and the work of the in1elders
on both teams was beyond reproach.
In the ninth inning the Americas
bunch threatened to tie the score, but
good work by the Florida pitcher final
ly retired the side. The visiting team
will be here for two days longer, and
