WILSON WANTS
WORLD LEAGUE
SETTLED FIRST

WITH THE PRESIDENT AT SEA,
Dec. lot is the desire of President
Wilson to make the proposed league
of nations the principal question be-
fore the world peace conference and
get it out of the way before taking up
the other big problems, according to
indications.
1t is understood that the President
sent word to Paris conveying the hope
that no decision would be reached on
any of the moot questions, including
the manner of the conferences, the
representation, ETC., before his arrival
Saturday of this week. It is regarded
as certain that the President wants
the league of nations to precede the
questions of punishment, indemnities
and territorial agreements.

knife in decorating Nose Lees scalp,
but the officers have two pistols, one
of which they suspect belonged to
Hugh and may have been used as a
club on Nose Lee. Nose Lees pistol
was found on the ground near the
scene of carnage.
The wedding was big affair, and
guests were present from all the coun-
try side. Neither of the parties to the
quarrel lived on the place, but reside
close by. Their trouble was of so
violent nature as to almost break up
the wedding.
Sheriff Harvey and Deputy Summers
arrested the pair yesterday and
brought them to Americus. Nose Lee
remained in Jail, while Hugh gave
bond. Nearly dozen negroes, rela-
tives of the belligerents and guests of
the weddings, were present as wit
nesses at the hearing.

WILD TURKEYS
$l.5O EACH FOR
FISHING PARTY

A land where wild game of many
kinds abounds, where the piney woods
and hickory forests stand untouched,
with squirrels laeping nimbly every
wkere; with plenty of deer for the
lover of venison, and with wild turkeys
az $1,50 apiece!
Such is the land through which Ar
thur Rylander and his fellow fisher
men, G. o. Loving and Dr. Henry
Glover, passed in going to and com
ing from their fishing lodge on the
Florida Gulf coast, 100 miles south of

cent roads and good fishing.
I'VE got 800 sheephead," said Mr..
Rylander. "On the way down we ran
across an old negro with three wild
turkey gObblers which he had just
killed. We asked his price and bought
them-$150 each. We took a good
cook with us from Americus and lived
off the fat of the land while we were
there The price of squirrels there is

Il cents each and he brought us all

The party reported bringing back

SOUTHER FIELD TO
IMPORT NURSES.

Several trained women nurses from
Camp Wheeler will be brought to Sou
ther Field tomorrow to assist in car
ing for the men i'll with influenza and
other ailments who have filled the post
hospital and taxed the medical capac-
ity of the camp for several days. No
more deaths have occurred at the
camp, Major Wash, commandant, stat
ed this afternoon, although several are
said to be very sick.
Fears had been felt for six officers
under treatment at the Americus city
hospital, but all of these were today
reported to be recovering. These Off
GERS are Lieutenants Hilliard, G. d.
Mccoy, Mann, Ellis and Ellis, and Capt.
White. Captain France, who has been
I'll at the hotel, is rapidly recovering.
Both he and Capt. White were on the
post medical staff, and their illness
badly crippled the medical facilities,
necessitating the importing of two
army physicians from Montgomery last
Saturday. Major Wash stated that
the men who are i'll at the camp ARE
apparently doing well, and the outlook
is encouraging. He stated that the CO.
Cperation of the local Red Cross in
supplying fruits for the convalescents
was welcomed. He explained that the
army appropriation did not permit the
camp to spend money for foods of this
kind, except where they were specially
indicated by the post medical officers.
Major Wash this afternoon asked
the local Red Cross to supply the camp
with 1000 flu masks for the men and
officers to prevent the spread of in
lection in the camp, and an effort will
he made to meet this request
tomorrow.
The two recent deaths from pneu-
monia are the only deaths from dis
ease occurring at the camp since its
establishment here last April, which
is said t ODE a record unapproached
by any other army camp in the
country.

SUGAR SHORTAGE
STRIKES SOUTH;
TEMPORARY, is
OFFICIAL W ORD

ATLANTA, Dec. 10-Development OF
serious labor trouble in Cuba threat
ems considerable delay of shipments
of new crop sugars to refiners in this
country. There is, therefore, short
age to some extent of refined granu-
lated on the markets in Georgia and
neighboring states at this time. That
there is anything approaching a sugar
famine, however, is entirely false, it
is announced.
An investigation by the Federal
Food administration develops the fact
that regulations recently have brought
about a fastidious demand for refined
graduated sugar only, and thereby
has given the appearance of an made
quate supply. A request made upon
the sugar division of the United States
Food administration by Dr. Soules Of
fee that relief be afforded for the
sugar shortage in this state, has
brought reply from the division that
there is such a plentiful supply of
sugar being produced that trouble is
being experienced in finding storage
for it. The telegram from the sugar
division in Washington is as follows: !:
Supply of sugars available for en-
tire country west of Buffalo; Pitts
burg, eightieth meridian line, and
south of Virginia-NOrth Carolina line
is so great the Food administration re-
Gently removed all restriction in re-
gard to distribution and use of sugar.
Southern states must secure their sup
plies from Louisiana; Western states
and Central states from the beet SUI
gar production. There is being pro-
duced in Louisiana today so much SUI
gar that producers are finding diff
Guilty in finding storage. The sugars
produced are direct consumption SUI
gars of very excellent quality, an
should supply all purposes for which
sugar is usually used. If you have a
shortage of sugar anywhere in GeOr-
gia it is due to the failure of business
in purchasing their sugar. There can
be no legitimate complaint as to the
quality of these sugars This we know
from personal experience. Plantation
granuIated sugar produced in Louis
lana has been purchased by the gov
ernment for overseas shipment for U.
S. army requirements, and is, there
fore, at the present moment not avail
able for shipment to your state. The
situation in the North Atlantic states,
which must depend on their supply
from Cuba and Porto Rico, is such
that we canont permit the sugars now
in the hands of refiners to be shipped
out of that territory, as we have just
enough to see the North Atlantic states
through until the arrival of new crop
Cuban and Porto Rican sugars. The
necessity of holding at northern points
sugar now there is emphasized by the
fact that there has developed in Cuba
a very serious labor disturbance which
is likely to seriously delay shipments
of new crop sugar, and we, therefore,
can take no chances in jeopardizing
the northern coast supplies
