kA|SER'S END SAID
To DUE BY WRITER.

PARIS, March 24.-The abdication
of the German emperor is forecast To-
day in an interview with the former
German magistrate, who wrote the
celebrated book "J Accuse" The in
terview is published in the Oeuvre, AMI
the magistrate says:
"Obscessed with the thought that he
is responsible for the war, the very
thought of which poisons his entire
existence, Emperor Wilhelm feels he
is menaced by three enemies at home,
in addition to the whole world outside
his empire.
The first of his home enemies, the
emperor thinks, is the crown prince,
who is really responsible for the war
tie second is the Junker Pan-germani
and the third the people of Germany
not socialists, but the people them
selves, who are starving.

WH|TLOCk AND THE
RELIEF WITHDRAW5

WASHINGTON. March 24.-It is Of
ficially announced that the American
that the American Relief Workers in
Belgium and the American Minister
Brand Whitlock have been formally
withdrawn. The American Relief Com
missiOners will be replaced as largely
as possible by joint neutral commits
sion under the Dutch authorities.
Brand Whitlock will go to Hayre.
France, the temporary Belgium capital
and resume his duties as minister.
The presidents action in ordering the
relief workers out is based on the be-
lief that nothing is to be gained by
keeping the Americans longer in the
territory of Belgium and northern
France occupied by the Germans.

TO BRING FATHERS AND SONS
CLOSER TOGETHER Is PLAN

TRENTON, y. j., March 24.-Sun-
day will be Boys Day" in New jersey
the first Boys Day" ever proclaime&
in the United States.
Governor Edges idea in Inaugural
ing it is to encourage closer relations
between fathers and sons. He believes
that as fathers grow older they lose
the viewpoint of youth in most cases.
and that their sons suffer accordingly
The object is two-fold to stabilize
the sons and revivify the fathers
through mutual associations. Lack OF
association with each other, the goF-
ernor thinks, is harmful to both The
young boys and the old; and tends IS
create misunderstanding between
them on points concerning which there
should be no misunderstanding.

Prof. John w. May, head of the En-
glish department in the Americus High

pairing the local debaters for the foren-
sic contest and the success of the
Americus boys reflects great credit
upon his efforts.
By winning the Cuthbert debate,
Americus is in a position to take first
place in the inter-scholastic debate,
which constitutes one of the features
CT the Third District High school meet
to be held in this city on April 13 and
Ia. The Americus High school debar-
ers must meet the debating team from
the Fitzgerald High school and score
a victory in order to win first honors

last night in the High school auditor
ium were Supt. NJ. c. Austin, of Mar
shallville; Supt. ]. T. Love, of Monte
yuma, and Prof Thomas j. Barrett. of
Plains.
One of the most delightful features
of the program Friday night was the
vocal number rendered by the Girls
Sextette of the High school. These
young ladies have organized a sextette
that is a distinct credit to the school
and their appearance on the program
added materially to the enjoyment Of
the occasion.

: HUMAN FLY" SCALED
THF: PLAN TERS' BANK

b r. f. Morris; known as the Human
Fly" yesterday afternoon scaled the
Planters Bank building in the pres
ence of a crowd of almost 1000 per-
sons who watched the young man
climb the four story structure, mount
ing to the roof after about 40 minutes
work. although he made several stops
on the way. Norris started his climb
from the second story of the building,
using only his hands and feet until he
reached the third floor, when a rope
let down from the roof assisted him in
scaling the oyerhanging cornice at
the tip of the building.
The Human Fly" experienced con-
siderable difficulty between the secon1
and third stories on account of the
crumbling of the bricks on which he
attempted to gain a foothold but with
slight assistance from a companion, he
reached the window on the third floor
without mishap.
Morris claims that he has climbed
high BUILDINGS in practically every
city in the United States during his Il
years in the business.
