Reply to Go Forward Today.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 13.-
No movement of the Mexican expedi-
tionary forces is expected today,
though preparations for the departure
of the troops go steadily on. General
Funston announced this afternoon that
his plans are not to be altered by any
position Carranza way assume, and de-
spite the declaration of the de facto
Mexican government American troops
would not be permitted to enter that
country, there is every indication the
first column will push across the Rio
Grande within the next forty-eight
hours, or earlier.
1t is officially announced at the
headquarters of General Funston that
Brigadier General Pershing will com
n,and the expeditionary forces. The
announcement also state Gen. Funston
Las received no orders to delay the
state while negotiations with Carran-
za's government progress.

LULL CONTINUES
On BATTLE. FIELD
AROUND VEROUN

There is pronounced pause in the
German offensive operations against
Ferdun today. Their infantry remained
idle during all of last night, and Sun
day. Paris dispatches announce that
German artillery activity continues
along most of the fronts, being partic-
Ularly severe in the Woevre district,
where French guns are searching hos
tile positions. This indicates there is
probability that another German
move is expected soon either to the
east or southeast of Werdun on the
French right flank.
There was small engagement to-
day in the LePetra forest on the left
bank of the Meuse, the result being of
10 strategic consequence. West of
Pont-a-Mousson to the east of st. Mi
hiel, French troops penetrated two
hundred yards of German advanced
trenches and retired after destroying
hostils saps there The sortie was
accomplished under heavy fire.
French aviators have bombarded the
Conffans railroad station, but with
what success is not stated. This in
formation comes through Dutch
sources, and accompanied by the state
lnent that the Dutch-Belgian border,
which has been closed since the be-
ginning of the offensive movement
against Verdun, is to be re-opened at
one place.

Villa Fire Bugs at Monterey.

MONTEREY, Cal, March 13.-The
two headquarters buildings at the
Monterey preside, near here, was to-
tally destroyed early today, the fire
being of incendiary origin. Six hours
before the hlaze was discovered, the
First United States cavalry, which had
lis quarters at the preside, left for ac-
tive service with the Mexican expedi-
tionary force. Firemen who attempted
tc subdue the blaze soon after it was
discovered found the water supply
leading to the fort had been cut off,
ard before the defect could be rene
died the buildings burned to the
ground. Apparently the fire was the
work of Villa spies who took advant-
age of the troops absence to get in
their nefarious work.
Maj. Harbora, who was left in COM
mand when the troops departed de-
ciined to make any statement regard
ing the fire until after an invastiga-
tion now under way is completed.

CUTHBERT HOLDS A
JOINT DEBATE OPEN

ATLANTA, Ga, March 12-It is up
to the people of Cuthbert and Blakely
to start 'j'int spute" in Georgia this
year, if they want one, and if it starts
there it will go the limit.
Governor Harris has accepted invi-
t1tions to speak at both places, at
Cuthbert on the 10th, which is the day
the wolks asked him to speak, and at
Blakely on the 18th, which was fixed
in that invitation.
1t so happens that DR.. Hardman has
been invited to speak at Cuthbert on
the 18th, the day following the gov
clnor, but-a Georgia mule can be bet
on this--if the chautauqua authorities
want to get busy and change Dr.
tIardmans date to Thursday, instead
o. Friday, and the doctor is ready to
play the ball that way, he will find
Governor Harris ready to "spute" with
him, and the doctor will he given a
very liberal slice of the governors
time, however much or little many be
assigned to the governor by the chau-
tauqua folks. If he wants the opening
and conclusion even, he will find that
he can get it. And as the dope goes,
lie will find the governor powerfully
happy to meet him"
While it isn't speaking exactly by the
cards, there isn't any reason at all to
doubt that if the doctor can't make
things hitch up for the Cuthbert gath
ering, and the Blakely folks want to
try it ont is up to them.

Conditions of Carranza Pact.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 13.-
Acceptance of Gen. Carranza's propo-
Sal to permit troops of either nation
to cross into the others territory in
pursuit of bandits, was accepted, it is
believed here, with the condition that
de facto Mexican government troops
may pass into United States territory
only where American troops are not
present in sufficient numbers to deal
properly with the bandits. Acceptance
OF the Carranza proposition has re-
heved the situation of its chief menac-
ing aspect in the opinion of well-in-
formed persons here.

WILSON WILL ANSWER REQUEST
OF CARRANZA FOR MOVEMENT OF
TROOPS With AN ACCEPTANCE
LARGE AREA TICK
FREE IS LIFTED
BY GOVERNMENT

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 13-A
total area of 9,739 square miles was
| released from quarantine on account
of the cattle tick on March 10. The
free territory is situated in the states
OF Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia
and South Carolina, and includes the
whole or parts of 16 counties. There
have now been released from federal
quarantine 475,472 square miles of the
original TAI, ,515 which were put under
quarantine in 1906, when the work of
systematic tick eradication was be-
gun.
A significant feature of the new or
der is that with the release of terri
tory in Florida there is now no tick
infested state in which some counties
have not been made free of the pest.
In Florida the whole of Dade and Bro
ward counties and part of Palm Beach
county are now tick free. The Florida
work began in 1914, when number of
prominent farmers, cattle owners and
business men held a meeting in the
courthouse in Miami on November 25,
and formed an organization for the ex-
ermination of the cattle tick. Twelve
men owning 218 dairy cattled, enrolled
il the new organization which later be-
came known as the Stock Growers As
sociation of Southeast Florida. The
membership fee was fixed at 81, but
voluntary contributions aggregating
$271 were obtained in a short time
This was supplemented by country
appropriation of $500 and a campaign
against the tick was begun A survey
of the territory showed that there
were about $50 cattle, principally dairy
COWS, in the county. The State Live
Stock Sanitary officials and the U. S.
Department of Agriculture were called
upon for assistance, five dipping vats
fere built, and on May 8, 1915, regular
dipping began. By December l, 1918,
the membership in the Stock Growers,
Association had increased to 155, the
members of the association owning be-
tween them nearly three-fourths of the
cattle in the county.
In the other states affected by the
new order, Mississippi, Georgia, and
South Carolina, tick eradication has
made great progress in recent years.
Much of South Carolina has already
been freed and in both Georgia and
Mississippi the realization of the ben
efits of the work is spreading rapidly.
The ares in Georgia released on
March 10 are as follows:

Expedition Not To Star TODAY.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 13.-
An official reply to General Carran-
zas request for reciprocal agree
ment for troops crossing the inter
national line between the United States
and Mexico will be despatched late
today. At the state department this
morning, it is learned the answer to
the de facto governments proposal is
being delay only until Secretary Lans,
ing has conferred with President Will
son concerning the verbage of the COM
munication.
1t is generally believed both in Off
cal and other circles here today, that
the Carranza proposals will be accept
ed by the United States, and that such
action will remove the last barrier to
a peaceful entry of Mexico by United
States troops. The border garrisons
are to be increased, however, and there

EDUCATIONAL MEET
ON |LL|TERACY NOW

At the coming meeting of the Geor-
gia Educational association to be held
in Macon, April 2O-21-22, one of the
principal questions to be discussed
will be that of adult illiteracy in Geor-
gia and plans will be perfected for a
statewide campaign to rid Georgia of
illiteracy. Already much work has
been done along this line in several
counties, notably Newton, Houston,
Tiff and Tatnall. In all this work the
teachers have had large part.
This great work was first started in
Rowan county, Kentucky, by Mrs Cora
Wilson Stewart, who was the county
superintendent Of schools. She organ
lied moonlight schools by opening up
the school houses at night for the in
struction of grown people who could
not read and write.
Mrs. Stewart is now president of the
Kentucky illiteracy commission, which
is trying to rid the entire state of IL
literacy
Mrs. Stewart will be present at the
Macon meeting of the State associa-
tion, and will address the teachers on
this great question. Every teacher in
Georgia ought to hear her.

100000 LOSSES IN
Two YEARS OF war

The Danish Society for the Study
of the Social Consequences of the
War, has published detailed esti-
mate of the losses of the belliger-
ents.
England according to the official
reports Of the British war depart
mcnt, from Aug. l, 1914, to July
81, 1916, lost 34,3G0 officers of
whom 1855 were killed, 19,343
wounded and 3,462 captured or
missing. From this the society calcu-
lates minimum British losses of
sos, ,463 officers and men, divided as
follows: Dead 18S.464. wounded
512,465, captured or missing 1O7,-
534. The British navy up to July 81,
lost 1877 men, the number Of dead
being 1898. Germany has about
$4,000 English prisoners. Turkey
1897, and Bulgaria 449.
French Lose 3,974,OOO
France does not publish any re-
port of her losses. but from infor-
nation received by the Red Cross
and other reliable sources, the soci-
ETY. estimates $4,000 French soldi-
ers have been killed, 624,OOO totally
disabled and 1,896,OSO less serious
ly wounded, while about 100000
have been captured or a. missing,
a total of 3,974,0OO.
The losses Of Germany. which
alone Of all the bell;gerent countries
have published regular and detailed
reports, are somewhat higher than
those Of France From official lists
of the German army administration
it appears that S93.21l men have
been killed, 72o,l54 badly and p
443, $50 less seriously wounded.
This, with 245,OOO men reported
missing. brings the German total
losses up to 4,3O1,545 officers and
men,
Austria, according to official and
other trustworthy reports has lost
2,893,250 men. Of these 523,125
have been killed and 1,775,125
wounded, and 5?1. 900 are captured
and missing.
Austro-Hungarian losses, however
are much smaller In France about
|S0 per cent of the wounded returned
to the front. in Germany 90.5 per
cent and in Austria Hungary "a. 5
per cent.
