SURVIVORS Of
TRIBE ARE FOUND
NINE MEMBERS OF A ONCE pop.
uLOUS INDIAN TRIBE ARE
LOCATED.

| PHILADELPHIA, April 20.-Nine
members of a once populous tribe of
Indians hitherto unknown to white
men have been found by DR.. William
c. Farabee. leader OF University Mu-
seums Amazon expedition.
A letter from DR.. Farabee, dated
March 16, telling of this and other
discoveries. was made public today.
An epidemic of grippe, DR.. Fara-
bee said, was responsible for the
tribes destruction. The Indians were
the Pikipitanges, a name heretofore
unknown to ethnology. No one could
be found to speak thier language, but
DR.. Farabee succeeded in making a
vocabulary of seventeen words, which
he will study in the hope of finding
out to what general branch of In
dians iris remnant belongs.
The survivors are a chief, six wo-
men and two boys. They were found
in utter destitution.
Another discovery was the rem
nants of an uncatalogued tribe of In
dians On the Amazon. In the upper
reaches of the Maraca river DR.. Far
abee reported there once lived a
tribue with the peculiar characteristic
of burying their dead in urns of pot
terry, made to receive the bodies in
a sitting posture. Poor people, he re-
ports, had plain urns, but the richer
were buried in "urns fashioned to re-
semble man, with an effort at por-
traiture of the face, something after
the manner of the Egyptians"

there being noted by Gen. Joffre in

commander-in-chie citing their com

: 'sia's devotion to the common cause

The Russians are believed to have
embarked for France from the port

probable that the transports carry
ing the troops made a wide sweep out
into the north Atlantic before head

the submarine danger zone in the
vicinity of the British isles
In this connection it is to be noted
that word reached New York today
through private cable advices that
Russia had closed the port of
Archangel to all except government
traffic. This may indicate that other
troop movement to the western front
are either under way or in contem-
plation.
Several times during the war there
have been reports that Russia was
sending troops to the Franco Belgian
front, travellers even declaring that
ldetachments had been seen en- route
through Scotland and England. No
such trops ever have appeared on
the western line, however.
The French again have taken the
offensive in the Verdun battle and
launched attacks against the German
lines on the right bank Of the Meuse.
Paris declares the aggressive move
was successful, resulting in the cap
ture Of portions of German trenches
and a redoubt, and in the taking Of
several hundred prisoners.

LEGAL d. A. X. URGED TO
SEE BATTLE CRY OF PEACE
BY President General Mrs. Will
liam Cumming Story.

Mrs. Harris NJ. Branham, regent of
the local chapter Of the Daughters Of
the American Revolution, is in receipt
OF letter from Mrs. William Cum
ming Story of New York, president
general OF the society, in which Mrs.
Story urges local members to attend
and see the Battle Cry OF Peace"
which will be shown at the Grand this
afternoon and evening. The follow

esting:
1T is necessary to make our people
realize that to preserve peace we must
be adequately prepared for war. and
the best argument that | have met is
given in that remarkable photoplay

VOTERS STILL
HAVE ACHANCE
TO REGISTER
THOSE WHO FAILED TO QUA
LIFY FOR COUNTY PRIMARY
CAN DO so BEFORE THE
STATE PRIMARY.

Yes, you've one more chance TO reg
lister.
You might have let the county pri-
mary slip by you Wednesday, but
there is now absolutely no excuse for
not registering in time to participate
III the state election to be held in Oc-
tober, the candidates in which will
be nominated in August.
Many people are of the opinion that
If they are not now qualified they
cannot do so and participate in the
state election, but this impression is
erroneous. The law states that a vot
er may qualify in Georgia six months
before the regular state election, not
the primary. The election as is al
ways the case, will be held in Octo-
Der, therefore Georgia voters have
about one month in which to register
or. if they have previously registered
and not qualified, to pay their taxes
and thus be in position to vote in the
primary and the election. The pri-
mary, it is thought, will be held in
August, but as the general election is
more than six months off, voters quail
flying within the next month will be
eligible TO vote in the primary
While every effort was made to get
everybody qualified for the county
election, still there were many who.
although they were registered in 1914
could not vote Wednesday simply be-
cause they had not paid their state
and county taxes for 1915. It Is now
expected that a large majority OF these
will qualify in time for the state pri-
mary, and it is probable that the reg
istration for the August election will
be over 1000.

LATEST MESSAGE
WAS A SURPRISE
TO THE BRITISH
SOME OF LoNDoN's BIG. PAPERS
HAVE EXPRESSED THE BELIEF
THAT BERLIN WILL NOW RE-
FUSE TO REPLY.

LONDON, April 20-Although re-
cent dispatches from America had
led the British public to expect a
sharp note from the United States to
Germany in regard to the submarine
controversy, the language employed
by President Wilson in his address to
congress came as something of a
surprise.
The evening newspapers generally
refer to the note as an ultimatum,
pointing out that although no date
for reply has been fixed, Germany is
expected to send it's answer by the
end of the week
Opinion is divided as to what at
titude Germany will adopt. Some of
the newspapers take the view that
public opinion will compel the Ber-
lin government to refuse to comply
with the demands of the United
States. Others are equally certain
that Germany will abandon indis-
criminate submarine warfare rather
than sever relations with the great
est of the neutral powers The note
had little effect on the stock market,
which was steady at the opening.
Little stock was offered, this being
the last day before the Easter holt
days. Many members of the exchange
already have left town, as business
is extremely limited.
So far as American stocks are CON
cerned, there is now little business
in them, owing to the restrictions i'm
posed by the government. 1t is noted
the treasury has made hardly any
changes in the buying prices
The Westminster Gazette says:
President Wilson's message to con-
gress is serious, high-toned docu-
ment which befits the occasion"
Referring to the presidents warn
ing, this newspaper adds:
Language OF this kind between
great powers does not leave open a
wide choice of courses of action. Ger
many is given the alternative Of
abandoning its submarine warfare or
ceasing to retain the friendliness of
the United States. The tone of the
message foreshadows in the latter
case more than the mechanical wrath
of diplomatic relations"
In concluding its article, the West
minister Gazette says:
president Wilson has mapped out
for himself line of action which ad-
mits of no retreat"

France Awaits Rupture.

PARIS, April 20-The text of
President Wilson's note to Germany
arrived too late for publication in the
morning papers, which comment
briefly on the gravity of the situation.
The Matin says:
"The action of Washington will have
farTeaching consequences for the fu.
ture of the United States. France
awaits calmly the eventual rupture
America could not give us greater
sympathy than she already has given
but we will feel moral JOY to see that
noble nation break all relations with a
nation of pirates which precipitated
the present world tragedy"
The Journal, in reviewing American
events, says that rupture between
the United States and Germany is i'm
minent.

NOT MANY HERE SEEM
ANXIOUS TO JOIN ARMY
Recruiting Office Receives but
Few Applications.

Evidently the young men in Bruins
wick and this immediate vicinity are
not very anxious just at this time to
join Uncle Sans army. They are not
displaying patriotism to the extent
that the local recruiting office has
been crowded any.
Although the office here has been
open for month or more very few
young men have applied even for in
formation, and the number of recruits
secured would not be sufficient to sup
ply water to a relief guard of one
squad. However, the office will con-
tinue open, and with all of this talk
of war with Germany may result in a
number of recruits being secured.

SUMMER SCHEDULE TO ST.
SIMON BEGINS MAY 18TH
indications Point to a Most Sue
cessful Season.

1t has been announced that the reg
ular summer schedule between the
city and st. Simon will be inaugurated
on May Is, at which time large num-
Der of cottagers and others will go
down for the summer. Beginning on
that date the steamer Sea Gate, which
has recently been thoroughly over
hauled, will make four trips daily to
and from the island.
Judging by the number of advance
inquiries being received in the city
and on the island the season at st.
Simon will be an unusually successful
one. Practically all cottages on the
island usually offered for rent have
already been engaged for June and
July.

as parts of German torpedoes.
Copies of the notes have been sent
to the representatives here Of neu-
tral nations.
Senator Kern, majority leader in
the senate, said at the White House
that he believed that there was a
general disposition in the senate not
to discuss President Wilson's address
on the note to Germany. Discussion
he said. could do no good and might
do harm. He added that no action
on the part of congress was called
for and he did not expect that any
would be taken.

MAY MEAN WAR.

proposition will probably be voted on

If the saloons care abolished there
will be loss to the city in revenue

ST. CLOUD GRANITE
CUTTERS ON STRIKE
Non Union Workers in Revolt
Members of Union Work
Under Contract.

st. Cloud has a strange strike in
it's non-union granite works. Most
Of the granite companies at st. Cloud
employ union men and have for
great many years. At least two Of
the companies have bitterly opposed
organized labor and particularly the
granite cutters union, all the time
declaring that they wanted the open
shop with such high sounding things
as personal liberty" and right of
individual contract" preserved.
According to the st. Cloud Daily
Times of last Thursday about three
fourths of all the non-union granite
cutters are now on strike. Eighty
five men are out while % are still at
work. These figures do not include
the stock companies where the most
of the work is done by the owners,
each firm hiring only few men.
Pickets are on duty at all the
shops and each day few more men
are enrolled with the strikers. Both
the strikers and employers are hold
ing daily meetings. The companies
which employ union men have con-
tracted with the unions are paying
their men good wages and are en-
ploying them under the eight-hour
day. 1t is expected that the nom
union men will now affiliate them
selves with the granite cutters union
