John Robinsons Ten Big Shows left

the special car "Americus" occupied
by the owners of the circus, Mr. and
Mrs. Bert Bowers and Mr.. and Mrs.
jerry Mugiyan.
All day Friday the work of load
ing the cars proceeded and the heavy
wagons bearing the paraphernalia
from the winter quarters at the fair
grounds to the railroad yards, rumbl-
ed through the streets.
Today the fair grounds are deserted

minor employees, but it is expected that
TIE ranks will be filled before the

NEW YORK, April H. Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables during the day.)-The British
during last night broke through the
German front for distance of four
miles, and today the Teutons are still
retreating.
The British war Office statement an
nounces the capture of the village OF
Fayette, one mile northeast of 81
Quentin, while also goining important
positions east of lie Verguier. The
British also advanced toward Queant
north of the river Scarpe, forcing the
Germans back.
The correspondents report every in
dication of the continuation of the
German retirement by the explosions
and fires noted behind the German
lines as they retreat hard pressed
Some of the observers are beginning
to wonder whether the Hindenberg
line was not myth painted to bolster
up German public opinion.
Great importance is attached to the
British success around Vimy. The
positions which were carried enabled
General Haig to link up ground won
in the week. This movement threatens
Lens and the great coal fields. The
fall of st. Quentin also seems immin-
ent.

CLASSES Be c IN
FOR RED CROSS
MEMBER HERE

A class of twelve enthusiastic ladies'
has been formed to receive instruction
i'll the art of preparing Red Cross sur
gical dressings and bandages to be
used in field and base hospitals At
tached to the military forces of the
ration in case of actual hostilities be-.
tween the United States and Germany
or any other power with which we may
become involved in war.
The formation of the class is the re-
suit of the inception of the Americus
and Sumter County chapter of the
American Red Cross, which organiza-
ton has just been completed.
Miss Edith Kyle, of Columbus, .
graduate Red Cross nurse, is in charge
o. the class, which comprises the fol-
Lowing ladies, members of the local
chapter of the Red Cross: Miss
Claude Mclaughlin, Miss Sarah Cobb,
Mrs. F. B. Arthur, Miss Annie Ansley,
Mrs. l. ]. Kalmon, Mrs. George Van
Ripper, Mrs. E. c. Parker, Mrs. F. !.
Cato, Mrs. H. c. Taryer, Miss Callie
Eell, Mrs w. c. Gray, Mrs Ira Lowe.
The surgical dressing class began
operations on Friday and worked faith
fully until darkness set in, gathering
again yesterday to continue their in
struction. 1t is likely that by Monday
night the fundamental principles OF
the science of manufacturing surgical
dressings will have been covered, and
Miss Kyle will return to Macon on
Tuesday morning to take charge of an
other class of Red Cross workers.
The local ladies will take an exam
nation covering the instruction given
by Miss Kyle and upon successful
passing this test, each will take charge
OF a class of 10 other ladies of the
Americas chapter interested in the
same line of work.
The work is purely voluntary and
there is no obligation to take up active
field service in the Red Cross hospitals
in time of war or disaster
There are three courses to be com
pleted by candidates desiring to be-
come Red Cross nurses-surgicai
dressings, first aid, elementary hygiene
and home care of the sick. The course
in first aid work is given by surgeon
in the city where the Red Cross chap
ter is located, while the third course is
given by an accredited Red Cross
nurse or a registered nurse.
The Red Cross headquarters in the
Johnson apartments on Lee street are
being used as class rooms for the in
struction of the first class under the
leadership of Miss Kyle and the ladies
have already made excellent progress
II is intended to prepare consider
able quantity of bandages and surgical
dressings to be sent by the Americu9
charter to the national headquarters in
Washington, D. c.. so that the local or
ganization may become actively iden-
tilted with the work now being carrie |
on by the Red Cross chapters through
out the United States.
Miss Kyle's work in instructing the
first class here is purely voluntary, as
she has offered to take charge of the
work without financial remuneration.
Her services to the Americus chapter
are particularly important and the or
ganization feels deeply grateful.
Many ladies have enrolled to take ue
the instruction in surgical dressings
as soon as the initial class has COM
rieted Sts course.
