WILL MAKE FOOD
SURVEY OF COUNTY

IThe Americus and Sumter County
County Chamber of Commerce is pre-
pairing to make a comprehensive food
survey of Sumter county for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the exact situation
as regards the production of food and
feed crops available this fall.
The survey will include not only the
agricultural products, but also the
census of cattle and hogs
A personal communication is to be
sent to each farmer in the county,
with a blank form to be filled out and
returned to the Chamber of Commerce
offices, where the information will be
tabalated into such form as will furn
ish complete data on the condition OF
this county relative to food production.
It is necessary that each farmer to
whom a request is made for data. fill
out and return the blank at the earl
lest possible moments in order that the
survey may be completed without de-
lay. The prompt cooperation Of the
farmers is the only means by which
the desired data may be secured in
time to be of value.
The Chamber of Commerce, in MAX
ing this survey, is carrying out one of
the items of the general plan pro
mulgated by the national organization
to conserve food products. Another
object of the survey is to afford definite
Information on which business men
may base their estimates of production
in organizing the market facilities
which must handle the products this
fell.
Within few days the blanks will
have been placed iH the hands of the
farmers and a special effort is to be
made to have the survey complete
within a week.

MADE SECRETLY FOR THIS WEEK

PITTSBURG, July 16.-TAe Westing-
house interests here are seeking / 900
men, who are willing to sign an agree
nent to enter new plant to be built
for the manufacture of war munitions
by a secret process and remain inn
prisoned for ten months, all communi-
cation with the outside world to be
shut off.
Men who have been approached were
told that the plant will manufacture a
powerful implement of war and the
secret must be guarded until the Gov
ernment sees fit to make the details
public. Only those workingman and
officials who will be engaged in the
production of the new weapon will
know its character and the details of
manufacture.
Recreation and entreatment of ev-
cry possible sort will be furnished the
isolated employers. Pay double that
they now get is guaranteed, and bon
uses will be paid for high production.
Only picked men whose Americanism
is unquestioned and whose skill in
their respective vocations is the high

Officials of the Westinghouse inter
ests today refused to talk. An artisan
of high standing, who was approached
by the Westinghouse agents. said he
had received an intimation that the
new plant would turn out in large

GERMANY'S NEW
MINISTER HOLDS
OPPOSITE VIEW

COPENHAGEN, July 16.-The Berlin
correspondents report that Count
Brockdorff- -Rantzau, the German min
lister at Copenhagen, has been selected
to succeed DR.. Alfred Zimerman as, i'm
perial foreign secretary. This would
mean the return of the aristocratic ira
diticn of the German service.
Count Brockdoff-Rantzau is born"
in the German sense of the word and
highly connected at court through his
twin brother, who holds high court
position, and through his mother,
Countess Brockdorff- -Rantzau, mistress
of the robes to the empress and one Of
the most masterful and dominant per-
sonages in court life.
Far more important for America is
the role which Count Brockdorf-R Rant
Eau played with respect to German
American relations during the war.
Ambassador Won Bernstortf at Wash
ington, not being satisfied with the con-
duct of relations through the prescrib-
&c channels, owing to the vigorous at
titude of Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin,
the German Government endeavored to
oren an alternative channel through
Count Brockdorff-B -Bantzau and used the
minister to transmit to Washington,
through the American minister at Cop
enhagen, communications designed to
take the edge from tense situations and
build up working agreements with the
United States.
Count Brockdorff-Rantzau long had
labored in this direction. Finally, he
became convinced that the adoption CT
unrestricted submarine warfare and a
breach with the United States were
Inevitable.
Chancellor Won BethmannH Hollweg
and DR.. Zimmerman, after the com
pleted rupture, endeavored to treat the
American declaration of state Of
war as non-existent, or at elast to act
as if the declaration that state Of war
existed was not binding upon Germany.
But Count Brockdorff- -Rantzau cherish
ed no such illusions.
The new foreign secretary has a
superficial reputation for being some
thing of a slu2gard and late riser.
with small taste for society. But, be
meath he is man of firm, strong hand,
with considerable energy for execution
He is about the only German diplomat
who has won the approval of the anna
teur diplomatic critics of Germany for
keeping the diplomatic house in order.
He is a cousin of Count Won Bernstorff
ard unmarried.

WASHINGTON, July 16-DisposaI of
the administration food control bill
by the Senate, under its agreement for
afnal vote next Saturday, virtually
comprises the entire program Of Con-
gress this week.
In the fifth week of its consideration
and with leaders cooperating to shape
the pending measures 10, meet Presi-
dent Wilson's desire the bill will be
discussed after Wednesday under a
fve-minute limit of debate Prompt
agreement by the conferees is expected
SO that the legislation will be on the
statute books before Aug. /.
With the food bill and practically
ali other war legislation congested in
the Senate, the House virtually viii
suspend work until next week. New
war measures are being brought out
almost daily. There is little hope Of
adjournment for many weeks This
week the administration expects to sub
NIT its measure for insuring soldiers
aid sailors and the House appropria-
tons committee will begin work on a
new OO0,O0O,OOO war budget. Await
ir3 Senate action are the $64O,0OO,00
aviation measure. the 81 $40 10000
war tax bill, the trading with the en-
emy measures and many others of mi
nor Importance already passed by the
House.
Actual voting on food bill amend
ments is expected to begin this after
neon The leaders are confident that
bipartisan conferences and the
Presidents support for the original
plan of legislation will develop an
amended measure limiting Government
control, but with substantial regularity
powers, to food. feed and fuels. It is
planned to settle the prohibition diff
ferences in conference.
The principal differences now center
about proposals in Senator Cores sub
stitute, which administration leaders
are preparing to oppose, for legislation
restricting Federal authority and pro-
yiding for a food board of several
members instead of a single admins
tration.
After the food bill the Senate is to
take up the rivers and harbors appro-
priation measure under the present
plan, but Senator Martin, the Demo-
cratic leader. said today there might
be shift to expedite the $64o,OOO,O0O
aviation bill.

400 GEORGIA PHYSICIANS FOR
MEDICAL RESERVE CORPS

ATLANTA, Ga. July 16-Four hun
dred Georgia physicians are needed
Immediately for the Medical Reserve
Corps to be attached to the troops to
bo drafted in this state, and only
ninety-one have been obtained up TO
date, according to DR.. L. Sage Hardin
OF this city, chairman o. the Georgia
state committee of the medical section
Of the National Council of Defense.
American troops must be supplied
with the requisite number of physic
ians, states DR., Hardin, and unless the
demand for volunteers is soon forth
coming the government will obtain
physicians in the general conscription
to take place between now and Aug
ust 5. The conscription physicians
who can qualify will be assigned to
the Medical Reserve Corps, with the
rank of officers, while those who do
not qualify will rank as privates and
be assigned to duty as orderlies. If a
sufficient number of medical men are
not secured by this method, the con-
scription age will probably be in
creased to 40 years for physicians.

GUARDSMEN WILL

WASHINGTON. d. c., July 16.-The
mobilization of the national guard for
active service was begun today and
while no orders for the embarkation of
the state troops for France will be Civ
en- until August 9TH, when the entire
guard viii be drafted into the federal
service, the indications are that the
various divisions will be regarded as
ready to board transports soon after
that date.
The first units of the state troops
sent to France will probably have
French artillerymen assigned to duty
with them, as the well recognized effic-
icncy of the French artillery is ex7
pected to lend greater effectiveness to
their operations.
The departure of the guardsmen for
France will be governed to large ex-
tent by the celebrity with which the
shipping problem is solved by the
department.

Russians Drive Hard

NEW YORK, July 16.-(COmpiled
from Associated Press dispatches dur
ing the day)-Although the movement
of the Russian infantry in the Galician
district is somewhat hampered by
weather conditions, the continuance OF
the offensive is indicated by a report
received today to the effect that the
Muscovite columns have occupied Dol
ina
If this information is accurate, it
proves that the Russians have advanc-
ed more than 80 miles since the incep-
tion of the drive south of the Dniester
last week. This advance from Stanis-
lau means that considerable progress
has been made in the Russian plan to
threaten the Austrian line with a break
in the Carpathians
Dispatches from Rome state that a
breach in the Austrian defenses in the
Carpathians has already been accom-
plished.
Hard fighting continues on the
French front The Germans last night
directed heavy attacks against the
French in the Champagne region in an
ef.crt to regain the positions lost Sat

pulsed everywhere except near Mon
thaut, where the Teutons regained d
narrow section of advanced trenches.
