out, but Monday and Tuesday IS and
|72, respectively, left the post office,
making the grand total 500 sacks as
compared with 489 last year, which
was the largest up to that time. This
is the extra Christmas mail in addi-
ton to the regular sacks Of first and
second class mail, Of which there were
many sacks daily. The force working
in the post office had no rest from
early morning until late at night.
Frank Jones worked several days
from a. m. to $3.50 p. m. The force
was handicapped by the absence of
Mr. Sudderth and Mr.. Hall, who had
the influenza, but Mr.. Sudderth was
able to work few hours daily dur
ing the greatest part of the rush. The
receipts of extra sacks of Christmas
mail totalled $40, an increase of 20
per cent over last year.

The Christmas Carols.

The old custom of singing Christ
mas carols before the homes with
lighted candles in the windows was
revived in Moscow Christmas eve.
The choir of ST. Mark church visited
the residence section and sang the
dear old songs that, for centuries have
been sung on Christmas eve. There
were some splendid voices heard and
the carols ringing out on the still,
cold air of the night, carried a mes
sage of love and peace. The custom
is a beautiful one and the Moscow
people who were favored with the
sweet music extend their thanks to
the singers.

Rushing American Army Across

WASHINGTON, d. c, April g.
A large part of the American army is
to be sent to England as soon as ships
to transport the men and their equip
ment can be assembled.
This was learned today from an au-
thoritative source connected with the
army here's These troops. comprising
a substantial percentage of all those
now in camps and cantonments in the
United States, will take the place of
British troops have been training in
England, and are more seasoned for
intensive campaign fighting than the
Americans. The best of the Ameri-
can troops, however, will go direct to
France, where it is expected they will
have no small part in the heavy fight
in now in progress on the continent.
The American troops despatched to
England will probably replace the
home army of Great Britain and will
release hundreds of thousands of Brit
aims finest fighting men, who will go
70 reinforce General Haig's army at
the fighting front.
According to present plans more
than a million, five hundred thousand
American troops will be enshipped for
France before the close of the year,
and as the draft continues in operation
it will be possible additional men will
be called to the colors whenever these
are needed to fill the emptied camps
and cantonments in the United States
Because of these new plans, officials
here think it may be necessary to calH
within the next year a greater number
than the eight hundred thousand men
originally considered necessary to
constitute the nations war army. In
some quarters it is held likely today
that four hundred thousand more
GRATED men will be called into camps
for training by July 1st.

Americus High School Exceeds It's Pledge of One
Thousand Dollars the Y NJ. g. A. War Work Fund

Announcement is made this after>
noon that Americus High school stu
dents have actually paid in in excess
of their pledge of one thousand dollars
to the Y. NJ. c. A. War Work fund
The total paid in is $1,O3S.20, larger
sum than has yet been paid for this
work by any high school in Georgia,
not excepting those in Atlanta, Angus
ia, Athens, Macon, Savannah and
Rome, where the number of students
is even larger than the student body
here
This magnificent pledge and its full
payment reflects splendid credit upon
the entire High school organization, in
Guiding both student-body and facui'
ty. and is a cause for congratulation
generally. The boys and girls at the
school have worked hard to attain their
goal since early in the campaign and
recently have added to their income
from many sources, each contributing
in turn to swell the total until today
the fund ewnt "over the top and
$500 more than had been pladged
was remitted to Malcolm Lockhart,
field secretary in charge of the Y. M.
c. A. War Fud contributions. at At

A total of $94O.45 was secured from
pledged paid in by students and mem
bers of the faculty, and to this was
added $7.75, the net proceeds derived
from the appearance of the Swiss Bell
Ringers at the High school auditorium
last night. Thus was constituted the
sum total given this excellent cause by
the High school here, and thus did the
nlusic-loving people of Americus have
at least some share in contributing to
the achievement.
