Savannah, Americas, Augusta, Col

les that have special committees work
ing for large Sunday school attend
ance. In each of these cities large
signs have been stretched across the
streets in the downtown sections, and
large placards have been placed in
the store windows advertising Go
To-Sunday School Day." and inviting
the people to attend Sunday school.
A number of the counties are push
ing the campaign vigorously, and an
unusually large number of Sunday
schools are making preparations for
observing the day. Last year the
First Methodist Sunday school of this
city led the state in attendance. They
more than doubled their regular at
tendance, and have indicated that they
expect to lead again this year The
fact that about fifty thousand copies
OF the special free programs have al
ready been sent out from the Office of
the Georgia Sunday School Association
indicates that the day will be more
generally observed in the state than
ever before.

Yesterday started the water rum ming in good earnest close into town but it is still pretty cool in the hills. Dexterites are authority for the statement that there is no sign of enough water to do business in that section as yet. On the Diamond l. they began sluicing a day or so ago but the water went early peluk be- fore they had a fair chance at the pay dirt. On the submarine pump moving and other such preparatory operations have begun. There Is some water on the lake in the vl- cinity of active operations. Andy Olson and Co. were moving a pump on their ground from Mebes and Go. this to be used in sluicing. Carl Herein, an arrival from the head O. Anvil on Wednesday says that there is no sign of water out there yet. Judging by Dry creek yesterday, however, the snow had melted into quite a bunch of water under tho balmier breeze that blew through out the day and towards evening quite a lot was coming down. Cloudy and overcast indications last night presaged stormy weather and mild soft winds and rain may bring the break up perceptibly closer Meanwhile on every hand every miner is busy getting things in shape for sluicing and that all will be ready when water is secur- able, it is certain.

AMSTERDAM, May 16.-The neutral nations well understand that the German government Is stalking all on some big issue that will arise in the west front; for that reason the consistent inability to make headway is likely to occa- sion peace parleys before much time has elapsed unless a stirring German victory can be reported. The Germans are simply begging for such news at this time, and the absence of any such cheering re- ports as came time and again from the eastern and Rumanian front is deplored by those who are growing concerned over the internal situa- ton in Germany. It is hoped that the great German leader will be able to execute some astonishing war feat that will again act as ali inspiriter of the people.
