RUSSIA REFUSES
To OUTLINE ANY
FOREIGN POLICY

PETROGRAD, May 16.-The provis-
iCnal government, after considering the
conditions under which representatives
Of the Council of Workmens and Sold
iers' Deputies consent to enter the cab
met today decided it was unable to
accept the first condition. This condi-
ton called for the enunciation of d
foreign policy looking toward general
peace without annexations or indemni-
tty, as soon as possible. The govern
ment considers this course encessary
in order to conform to policy of unity
on all the allied fronts.
The Council of Workmen's and Sold
iers' delegates has issued an appeal to
the socialists of Germany and Austria
to prevent their troops from being
hurled against the western front in
order to crush France, and then dash
or to Russia. The appeal concludes as
follows:

Another feature that will appeal to

The elaborate costuming of the play. In
one scene alone there will be more than
thirty people on the stage in costumes

that supplies the operas presented in
Atlanta.
There will be no number presented
by the Redpath Chautauqua that will
be Of more interest and possibly more

MAKING EFFORT
To GET TRAINING

Americus as the site for one of the
military training camps which are to
be established for the instruction OF
the army units secured under the uni

The Chamber of Commerce has writ
ten Gen. Wood at his headquarters in
Charleston, S. c., urging that Ameri-
Gus be given consideration in the selec-
ton of the training camp sites.
Mayor L. G. Council yesterday af-
ternoon sent the following telegram to
Gen. Wood in behalf of the city govern
ment: "Americus is anxious for the
location of a training camp here. Our
location, with the many other splen-
did advantages, certainly justifies your
departments investigation. We wanr
you and assure you of our heartiest
cooperation.

Congressman Charles R. Crisp at
Washington, D. c., by Frank Lanier
Carr Glover, L. G. Council and the
Chamber of Commerce, urging him to
use every means in his power to Sc
cure for Americus one of the training

would certainly do all in his power
to cooperate with the citizens OF
Americus in their effort to have this
city designated as training camp. He
suggested that communication be
sent direct to Gen. Wood, inviting his
attention to Americus as an advantage
GUS site and making some definite offer
on the part of the city.
1t is planned to offer the camp site
free water, free lights and whatever
other conveniences of this character
are desired, so that no physical OBJ
stacle may be allowed to prevent the
resignation of Americas as one OF
tie training camp sites.
The location of d military training
camp at this point is looked upon as
most desirable and in view of the fact
that there are twelve of these camps
to be established in this military dis
tr;ct. every effort is being put forth
to secure favorable consideration for
