Berlin, Feb. 5-"There is no step
 backward" declared Foreign-Sec- retary Zimmerman in an interview published in the Tagsblad today, in commenting on President Wilson breaking the diplomatic relations witr Germany. President Wilson s decision is astonishing" he con- tinued. 1.-The Bntentes refusal of our peace overtures left no other course open to us except the unlim- ited submarine warefare in our fight fer our existence against the Entente violation of international law. The United States denied us assistance and we will make no con- trains both north and south will be exempt, much less will we make promises to avoid unlimited subma- Tiuc warfare. We have broken no promises, and we hope that Presi- dent Wilson Will warn Americans to keen away from the blokcade zones,

Berlin Feb. 5-According to the opinions expressed by those of the highest authority, a continuation of peaceful relations between the Un- tied States and Germany, after the departure of the ambassadors from Berlin and Washington, appears to be very slight, and in sense this opinion is indicated by the remarks made by President Wilson in his address before the United States senate, and from other information to hand.
 It is stated positively in high poliucal circles that the German crderG for the conduct of an nn- restricted warfare could not and would not be modified and that in GeImany's determination to enforce blockade in the prohibited zone is absolute and final and that the cnly security that can be guaranteed shipping is the avoidance of all neu' tral ships from the prohibited zone.

Tomorrow night at Dawson the
same play will be given, Dawson has
new theater, an auditorium.
Thomasville, too, has built a new
theater, which is used for auditorium
purposes.
Americas, as large as, if not larger
than, any of those cities is absolutely
without adequate facilities.
If this city needs any one thing, it is
an auditorium.
Until hall, with large seating ca
pacity is constructed here, Americas
cannot expect to have conventions,
theatrical attractions and the like.
The absence of this feature is a de-
terrent to the promotion of more SOC

The time is more than ripe for some
action to be taken that will lead to
the establishment of an auditorium.

concede the need of such an institu-
ton.

Made Farm More Than ay For Itself
The First Year.
The Albany Herald says:

The Albany Herald says
Here is true story which proves
that farming is a very profitable
business here in Southwest Georgia.
1t also furnishes direct, material evil
dence going to prove that the man
who goes at it in the right way can
make more money farming than is
made by ninety-nine out of hundred
business or professional men in our
towns and cities.
In telling this little true story we
are at liberty to give names and tell
the story just we got it from first
hands. The young farmer work is
the foundation upon which the whole
story is laid did not seek any publicity,
when called upon to verify some state
ments previously made to the Herald
man by Mr.. Ben Simon, Office manager
of the Samuel Farkas Estate, of this
city, he modestly did so, without i'm
posing any reservations. And it is
this sort of story The Herald loves to
tell. with the hope of encouraging
more young men of brains and energy
to turn to the fertile soil of this
favored section.
But let the story speak for itself
Last year MIR. J. w. Knight pur-
chased from the Farkas Estate of this
city farm consisting of ZIG acres
near Shingler in Worth county
The price was $50 per acre. The
purchaser paid $1,000 down, and was
given six years in which to pay the
balance.
The balance all has been paid from
the proceeds of only a part of this
years cotton crop.
Our story might stop just here and
be right good one, but there is more
OF interest and significance to tell;
for after paying off the debt on his
farm, Mr. Knight bought and paid
$500 cash for a pair of mules on Sat
urday. And he still has some cash
left from the the proceeds of his cot
ton crop.
He operated a five-mule farm. He
made fifty bales of cotton, an average
cf ten bales to the mule, and has also
made enough corn, potatoes, peas,
peanuts and other food crops to sup
ply both man and beast on his farm
next year He has so hogs from
which he expects to get years sup
ply of meat.
Now, this story of what one young
farmer has done here in what we love
to call Gods Country this year is
given without establishment, just as
II was related to the writer by Mr. |
Simon and afterwards verified by Mr..
Knight himself, who CHANGED to come
up just as the telling of the story was
being finished
And what this young farmer has
done others can do.
1t certainly beats what most of us,
or the great majority of the thriftiest
O. us, are doing in the towns and
cities.

NO ENCOURAGEMENT HERE.

1t is announced that a celebrated
suffragette will soon visit Americas
for the purpose of stimulating inter
est here in the propaganda for votes
for women, and deliver lecture on
Suffrage AS A War Measure"
If there ever was at ime when the
women of this nation should cease
their suffrage agitation, it is the
present.
If they would devote the same
amount of time, the same amount Of
Intelligence, and the same amount of
effort to projects intimately connectec.
with our position in the great war,
they would be doing themselves, their
country and civilization in general a
far greater and more permanent SER
vice
Over in England, hot-bed of militant
suffragism, the issue has been laid in
its cradle until the war is ended.
Such rampant advocates of the cause
as Mrs. Pankhurst and her associates
have put aside their suffrage actiyi.
ties and have enlisted in the service
of the government. They must realize
that their national problems, as de-
veloped by the war, are more crucial,
more urgent, more vital, than the
question of suffrage can ever be.
But in this country the women per-
sist in their policy of heckling the
president. They maintain a force Of
pickets around the White House-the
most futile, fatuous and foolish pro-
cedure one can imagine. How picket
ing can ever advance the fundamental
cause of equal suffrage The Times-Re-
corder cannot conceive If it is de-
signed as an advertising medium, it
occurs to Us that it is failure be-
cause it belittles the cause and pro-
yokes an unpleasant notoriety.
Suffrage is not a war measure. 1t
can be made so, however, by being
relegated to the shelf until the war
is at an end. We daresay, too, that
there will be more general apprecia-
ton of the merits of the cause if the
women were to declare a truce and
pledge themselves, until the peril
which threatens us is past, to a cam
paign of helpful assistance to the gov
eminent.
The Times-Recorder does not think
that the pleading of picketing in
Americas will fall on fertile ground,
OF bear much fruit, if any at all. The
good women of this city, however
much they may be interested in club
work, are devoted to such activities
along constructive lines, and are not
going to do anything that will ham
per, obstruct, embarass or delay the
plans of the government in the slight
est degree. They are not going to
fritter their time away on an untimely
and improbable proposition like wom-
an suffrage is, and can only hope to
be- for the period of the war
