TOPLANT corn

THE HAGUE, Netherlands. With
twenty-four million dollars worth OF
tobacco. or 500, 900 bales still lying il
the island Of Java awaiting shipment
10 the Dutch market. and with every
respect Of shipment being long de-
layed, and urgent admonition has gone
forth to the natives there from the
Dutch government general to plant
Germ and other food products in place
CT their usual tobacco crops.
Last year the Java tobacco crop
yielded about 776,000 bales, a record
figure AS a result of an abnormally
heavy rainfall, this years crop is ex-
pected to be considerably smaller, pro-
badly less than 100000 and the orders
just issued are likely to have a curt
failing effect on subsequent produc-
tion.
The mere suggestion of a tobacco
famine in Europe must conjure up a
fearsome picture in the mind Of all de-
voices of the weed, but with the
spectre of a European food famine
seriously frightening some people
here, the partial substitution Of corn
for tobacco in the Netherlands East
Indies is regarded as imperative.

QUIET IN WEST;
RUSSIANS STRIKE
HARD IN CAL|C|A

NEW YORK, July 3.-(Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables The great offensive of the
Russians is being so successfully push
ed that even the Germans in an Off
cial statement admit the Russians have
moved forward across the heights on
the western bank of the river Stripa
in Galicia and have succeeded in ex-
tending northward the gap in,the Teu-
ton lines made the previous day.
Advices to the Russian government
say the offensive is progressing favor
ably. How costly the attacks have prov
ed to the German personnel is shown
in the taking of 5000 prisoners IN
one narrow sector, the loss proving
almost disastrous to the enemy. The
question of whether or not the drive
can be continued remains unanswered,
but conditions today are still encour-
aging. General Brusiloff's forces are
still pressing toward Zlochoff, 35 miles
east of Lemberg. capital of the prov
ince of Galicia.
German troops continue attacking
violently oil the Aisne front and be-
for yerdun, the French war office re-
porting all of these completely check
ed, with heavy losses sustained by the
Teutons.
Signs of an impending British at
tack in Belgium are seen in the Ger
man official statement saying artillery
fire in the Ypres district is increasing
in violence.

AS the result of a conference held in
this city yesterday afternoon between
officials of the Central of Georgia rail
way and representative Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, definite agreement
was reached regarding the continuance
OF the passenger service between

sengers and while a slight change has
been made in the schedule. daylight
service will be afforded residents of
this territory desiring to make short
trips to Americus on shopping mis-
sions, etc
The Central of Georgia filed a petit
ton not long ago with the state rail-
road commission asking permission to
discontinue trains Nos, and 6 be-
tween Americus and Columbus, where
upon the Americus and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce made strong
protest against such action, taking the
matter up with the commission. At the
hearing held last week, the commission
held the petition in allegiance, sug
gesting that a conference of the rail-
road officials and the Chamber of Com
merce representative be held to ad-
just the difficulty amicably.
The conference yesterday was the
result of the suggestion of the com
mission, the railroad being represented
by John Blount, assistant general pas.
senger agent; G. L. Gambler, general
superintendent; Henry Baldwin, divis-
ion superintendent; j. G. Carlisle. gen
eral freight agsnt. Secretary p. A.
Fenimore and j. e. Hightower, chair

FALSE ALARM GAVE
FIREMEN NIGAT RUN

An alarm turned in from box SO, az
the corner of Elm avenue and Taylor
street last night about II O'Clock gave
the firemen brisk run, but on arriy-
ing at the scene of the expected blaze,
1t was found that the alarm had been
turned in by parties evidently wishing
to play a practical joke. Not sign oe
fire was to be seen anywhere in the
vicinity
Investigation of the affair this morn
ing developed several clues which are
being closely followed with the idea
of apprehending the culprits. Four
persons evidently formed the party
turning in the alarm, as their tracks
were followed from the box through
several gardens to College street. Two
boys and two girls formed the party
ard one resident of the neighborhood
saw them as they passed the rear of
the house.
Drastic means are to be employed
to prevent the ringing in of false
alarms and Recorder Marshall has
promised to deal out swift punishment
to culprits brought before him for this
otfense.
