ANERICUS MEN At
STATE CONVENTION

Several Americus members of the
Patriotic Order, Sons of America, at
tended the meeting of the state camp
of that order yesterday in Albany. In
cluded in the delegation from this city
were E. j. McMath, president; j, n.
Collins, treasurer; A. NJ. Guerry, mas
ter of forms. and G. L. Williams, prom
irent in fraternal circles.
The meeting was held in Odd Fell
lows Hall, were three business ses
sions occurred, social functions having
been arranged in conjunction with the
regular business program The visit
ing delegates and officers were enter
tanned at dinner by the Albany camp
and were taken for an auto ride to
Blue Springs in the afternoon for a
" Watermelon cutting. In the evening
they were guests at a big barbecue.
One of the important features Of the
business session was the reduction of
the per capita tax to one-half its pres
cnt amount
A particularly interesting feature of
the program was an address on PA
trictism," by G L. Williams

PLAN To STRIKE At GERMAN NAVAL
BASES PRESENTS HUGE DIFFICULT
Americas Transportation Problems
Increasing With Every
Development

fortified position cannot be taken by
direct attack but most be turned or isO-
lated entirely. Some observers here
say the Allied offensive has consisted
only of direct attacks against a line of
Notifications stronger than any fort of
former days The maze of trenches,
entanglements, armored strong posts
and fortified villages extends miles
back of the front on both sides, so that
in effect a fortified belt stretches from
the sea to the Swiss border that is per
haps more than 100 miles wide.
1t is the belief of some military men
here that no breach can be made for
many months through the German line
of sufficient width to permit rolling up
the entire German front.
Admitting all these points, however.
there is no sign of encouragement
among American officials. President
Wilson's declaration that the nation
not merely an army, must be made
ready for war, is being carried out de-
terminedly and apparently with conf
dence that in time men and supplies
can be sent to France in sufficient force
to make victory certain.

ONLY FEW STATES
YET To Be CALLED

WASHINGTON. D. c., July 26.--
The. entire National Guard of the coun-
try, with the exception of troops from
California and the Southwestern states,
is in the federal service today under
President Wilson's call.
The remaining units will be brought
in Au?. ), on which day the whole force
O. probably 100000 men, will be drafted
into the army of the United States and
will lose its status as militia. From
that day on the state troops can be
used for any duty required of the reg
ular army.
The first Increment of the Guard was
called cut ten days ago. Those called
Yesterday embrace New England, Mid =
die Western and Northwestern states
and several Southern states. Probably
more than 10000 men went on the
federal payroll New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio troops and those from
several other states were in the first
increment
With liberalization of the entire
force after Aug. the ranks of all regi
ments will be filled up to full war
strength with men from the selective
draft lists.
There have been many things to indi-
cate that Guard regiments which are
now fairly we'll equipped and have
the benefit of the border mobilization,
will not be held long at the divisional
training camps. If transportation Is
available. the best of the state troops
may be hurried to France at once, stop
ping only for final outitting.

LOSSES
SHOW INCREASE

LONDON, July 26.-Twenty-one Brit
ish vessels of more than 1000 tons
each and three of less than 1000 tons
each were sunk last week by mines or
submarines, according to the weekly
admiralty report on shipping losses.
One fishing vessel was also sunk.
The admiralty's statement follows:
Arrivals, 2,791; sailings, 2,791.
British merchantmen sunk by mine
or submarine, over 1,6OO tons. includ
ing two previously, 21; under 1000
tons, q
British merchant ships unsuccess-
fully attacked, including three previ-
ously. 10.
British fishing vessels sunk, J."
The announcement of the British
admiralty shows an increase of seven
vessels of more than 800 tons as com
Jared with fourteen the previous week.
In the smaller category the loss is one
less than that given in the report
of the previous week while there
was a falling of by seven in the
number of fishing vessels sunk.

DORSEY PROPOSES
BUDGET SYsTE N

ATLANTA, Ga, July 26.-Gov. Hugh
Nj Dorsey yesterday afternoon sent to
both branches of the general assembly
his first message, in which he recon
mends some important general legis-
lation While a great deal of ground
is covered in the document probably
the most important feature is that
wherein the governor goes into the
matter of taxation and appropriations
On which he suggests the creation OF
an efficiency commission for the state,
which shall put it on a budget system.
AS part of this program he would
have the appropriations made by the
legislature, when they exceed the in
come, scaled and pro rated in the seal
ing.
His suggestion of a rivers and har-
bors commission for the state which
also shall take under advisement any
development Of extension of the West
ern and Atlantic railroad, is another
important feature. On first reading
that feature of the message may be
viewed as visionary, but its study is
asked by the governor, who believes
there is a great deal of benefit to be
derived for the state in cooperative
effort over the present disjointed move
ments by individual localities in which
rivers and harbors are a concern.
On the question of taxation he pre-
sents the important suggestion that the
Legislature ought to more atten-
lion than they do to the annual tax
levy, indeed, that the legislature ought
to fix the tax rate instead of leaving

AMERICUs POST0FFICE
TO Be USED AS MODEL

Z Postmaster D. F. Davenport mas
been notified by the chief inspector oil
bindings in this district that the
Americus postoffice grounds are to be
used as a model in the laying out OF
the premises of all postoftices con-
structed in these latitudes.t
The shrubbery which has formed a
particularly attractive feature of the
local postoffice, attracted the attention
OF the chief inspector on a recent visit
to this city, and he Immediately took
the matter up with the postoffice de-
partment at Washington to establish a
standard layout patterned directly al
ter the plan followed in Americus.
The department has signifed its as
sent to the proposition and all post
offices hereafter built in the South will
be surrounded, wherever possible, with
trees and shrubs suited to the climatic
as worked out by the
Americus postoffice.

ATLANTA, Ca, July 26.-The ap-
preaching posting and examination OF
men called in the draft seems to have
greatly stimulated recruiting not only
here but in other Georgia cities, al
though volunteers at the present time
will not be credited on the quota the

GERMAN INVADERS CAPTURE ENORMOUS QUANTITY
Of ARTILLERY AND SUPPLIES OF ALL KINDS.
News Dispatches From Petrograd
Make No Attempt to Minimize
Seriousness of Situation

LONDON, July 26.-An appalling
blow is the description of the Rus
sian collapse given in Petrograd dis
patches to the London Post today.
Never had the Russian army been so
we'll equipped, some artillery being
placed within three hundred yards of
the enemy trenches, although the big
guns were admirably placed InfOr-
nation regarding the big guns of the
Eleventh army almost staggers belief.
officers shot down their own gunners
to- get horses, or else shot horses
for revenge, when they retreated.
Practically all of the Eleventh army
corps is in enemy hands, with no
hope of saving the technical equip
ment of the Seventh and Eighth ar
mics, as the German lines have pass
ed the Russian big gun positions
There also exists some question as to
the ability of the Eighth army to es-
cape capture.
Reports regarding the Russian re-
treat in Eastern Galician available
this afternoon do not minimize the se-
riousness of the situation there. News
dispatches say the loss of heavy artil-
lery will be enormous, while doubt is
expressed that the Fifth and Eighth
armies will Ge able to make good their
retreat. There is nothing to show that
the Russian commanders are getting
refractory troops in hand but they are
proceeding along the line of Gen, Korn-
iloff's drastic measures, which included
the blowing to pieces of one entire
division of traitorous soldiers of the
Eleventh army with their own artillery.
The Russian lines continue holding
north and south of the retreat area.
Berlin says one OF the greatest ar.
tillery fights in history continues on
the Franco-Belgian front while Lon
don reports nothing important trans
piring there.
Paris makes the striking announce
ment that no French ships were lost
last week as the result of submarine
activities of striking mines. and that
only two Italian vessels went down
during the same period

CONFERENCE On
FOOO CONTROL IS
NOW UNDER WAY

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 20
Sentiment among the food conferees
here today was said to be to dispose
of prohibition first, so the finance COM
mittee of the senate may know what
revenue to expect from liquor sources.
It was agreed that the committee will
hold night sessions in order to expe-
dite passage of the measure, and the
conferees pledged themselves not to
make public proceedings of the com
mittee until the bill is virtually COM
pleted.
The principal trouble in conference
doubtless will center around the sem
ate amendments for the war expendi
lures congressional committee for a
food control board of three members
for a So minimum price for wheat and
to permit continuance of the use OF
foodstuffs in the manufacture of light
wines and beer.
In view of President Wilson's an
nounced opposition to the war expendi-
lures committee, administration lead
crs are certain that they can elimin-
ate it. The proposal to have three
food commissioners instead of one pro-
badly will lead to very stubborn
fight since the presidents desire to
give Herbert Hoover a free hand has
many opponents in both houses,
Indications are that the senate prohi
bition provisions may be greatly
strengthened. At least five of the
seven senate conferees are said to favo-
personally a dry bone country and
Chairman Lever, OF the house con-
ferees, has promised the prohibition
representatives that he will endeavor
strenuously to retain the house bone
dry plan.
A compromise plan would give the
president power to limit the use OF
foodstuffs in light wines and beer when
he believes it necessary and provide for
the re-distillation of all spirits both
in and out of bond Senate provisions
now in the bill contemplate the re-dis-
tillation Of bonded liquors.
The house conferees will make a
hard fight against the 50 bushel
minimum wheat price.
The personnel of the conference com
mittee is virtually the same as that
named for the food survey.
The conferees on the control bill
are Senators Gore, Chamberlain, Smith
OF South Carolina; Smith, of Georgia
Kenyon, Warren and Page, and Rep
resentatives Lever South Carolina
Lee, Georgia; Gambler, Mississippi;
Hefin, Alabama; Haugen. Iowa; Nc
Laughlin Michigan, and Anderson,
Minnesota.

GOETHALS MAY CD
TO FRENCH FRONT

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 20
The possibility that General Goethals
will go to France as head of United
States engineers there, is forecast to-
day among developments following re-
of the shipping board.
General GOethals, it is known, had
asked to be assigned to active SER
vice when called to head the emerg-
ency feet corporation, which position
he resigned after the row with Chair
man Denman of the shipping board had
resulted in delay in completion of the
task before them both.
