TEACE TREATY NOT TO
WAIT ON ITALIANS.

PARIS, April 3O.-(By Associated
Press. 1T is planned in peace con-
ference circles to go ahead with the
treaty of peace without regard to
any action by Italy, as it is consid-
cred probable the Italian delegation
will not return, and certainly not
within the present week.
The first meeting with the Germans
probably will take place Friday af-
ternoon or Saturday, when the pact
will be presented. Reports from Ber-
lin reaching the American delegation
are somewhat contradictory concern
ing Germany's purposes. Some of the
reports indicate the early signing OF
the treaty to be probable while others
saw it is doubtful if peace will be
signed at all.

FEE ASKED FOR
ROAD ENGINEER
SHOCKS BOARD

Action will be taken by the board of
commissioners of Sumter county at
their regular meeting next Monday on
the employment of an engineer to be-
gin preliminary work on the county's
million dollar federal aid road paw
ing program. This was decided at
special meeting of the board to-
day at which w. r. Neel, state high
way engineer, and several other en-
gineers, were present. Between now
and that time the various members of
the board will give consideration to
the problem of whether the engineer
shall be employed on commission or
on salary
Mr. Neel startled the members Of
the board when, in answer to ques-
tions, he stated that the government
and state had approved a' fee of 3
per cent. of the total cost of the paw
ing as fair compensation for a COM
petent engineer This would amount
to $4,000 for the job in Sumter coun-
ty, and at first the commissioners
were inclined to consider the figure
exorbitant However, it was eX-
planned by Mr.. Neel that this figure
embraced all costs to the county for
engineering work, including the test
ing of material, which would amount
to at least 5000 per mile. He quoted
figures showing that states which had
employed engineers on a salary basis
had found the cost higher than 5 per
cent. the figures running from G7 per
cent in Ohio to 10 per cent. in New
York
He admitted cheap engineering
could be found, but warned the board
that the work would have to pass
all the government requirements,
which were very rigid, before it would
Da accepted. 1t was also pointed out
that the chief engineer would have to
employ number of men F1r Lh4 job
for a considerable period OF time to
handle the volume of work.
Mr.. Neel expressed no personal
preference, declaring that he repre-
sented the state and the counties, and
that it was only good business to get
the work done as economically as pos
sible, not forgetting the quality Of
work required. He stated, however,
that he had investigated the subject
thoroughly, and considered per cent.

$4,000 BLAZE
ON HEYS FARM
KILLS l6 MULES
AND 20 HOGS
Barn Destroyed With Live Stock and
Large Quantity Of Feed
StuffS

Sixteen heavy mules, one horse,
twenty head of hogs, and other prop
erty, all to the value of between $12,-
900 and $4,000, were wiped out by
fire which burned the large barn on
the farm of w. B. Hayes, three and
one-half miles east of Americus, short
ly after o'clock last night. The only
insurance was reported to be less than
$1,000 on the barn.
The live stock was owned Jointly
by Mr.. Hayes and his son Gordon,
who lives close by and who is farm
ing the so acre tract. The barn was
two-story structure about 4OxS0 feet,
with a shed on each side. Besides the
stock lost. were seventeen sets of har-
ness, between 300 and 400 bushels of
corn and considerable quantities of
hay and oats A thousand bushels of
corn were stored in the barn, but
Chief Naylor and several men of the
city fire department went to the scene
with the big auto pump and hose and
connecting with a sunken lime pit
near the barn which was filled with
water put stream on the ruins which
resulted in the salvaging of more than
500 bushels of the grain.
1t was stated today by members of
the Hayes family that there was no
intimation as to the origin of the fire
Mrs. Hayes had been on the back
porch of her home, which is 100 yards
from where the barn stood about 8
o'clock. Shortly thereafter screams
were heard coming from the negro
quarters, and, thinking there was a
fight, Mr.. Hayes rushed to the back
door. The whole countryside was
lighted up by the flames, and the barn
was ready to fall in, it having burn
ed quickly. The stock was locked in
side the structure and not one animal
was able to make it's escape.
The news of the fire soon spread
everywhere in that section and before
o'clock this morning neighbors and
IrlendS haq brought 1O mules ana
turned them over to Messers Hayes to
be used in their farm work until they
could replace their own which had
been lost. The loss was most serious
coming at this season with 400 acres
under cultivation and the crops up and
requiring the attention of the plows
constantly from this time for many
weeks.
The firemen remained at the scene
of the blaze until the smOuldering en-
bers had all been extinguished when
they returned to the city, and they
found waiting for them at the fire
station hot super sent to them with

Chairman Ellis
Calls on People
to Volunteer

g. r. Ellis, chairman of the Vic
tory Loan campaign for Sumter coun
5y, today issued the following appea
10 the public for voluntary subscrip
lions to the Victory Loan before tn
committees begin work Friday morn
ing:
/ agreed to act as county chair
man of the Victory Liberty Loan
because l have faith in the people
of Americus and Sumter county.
Better people cannot be fo@nd.
These people prompted by their
patriotism and their desire to
keep faith with the boys who serv-
ed in France, and their govern
ment, will do their duty. l am
sure this is their intention. They
cannot afford to do less.
This being true, all subscrip-
tions for the Victory Liberty Loan
should be voluntary, as the per-
formance of this duty I cannot
understand why any one should
withhold doing what his patriot
ism and his common honesty die
tate, and what he intends doing
when he is solicited by a commit
tee, unles he has overlooked the
fact that his subscription should
be voluntary, and is simply wait
ing for the committee to visit him
as has been the custom. 1t is
probable that the fact that the
time of committeeman is vauable,
and that the only compensation
which they land l might incude
myself receive is the pleasure
flowing from discharge of duty.
1t would be noble and beau
tiful thing for the people of Sum-
ter county to volunteer their sub
scriptions to the Victory Liberty
Loan, so as to raise the quota of
Sumter county in manner that
woud deserve and receive the
praise of the people throughout
the country. To this end l am
publishing this notice simply for
the purpose of bringing to the at
tention of the people Of the coun-
ty that the subscriptions can, and
as a matter of fact, should be made
IN this way, and that | would be
glad for every one who is able to
subscribe much or little to con-
slider well his ability and then to
make his subscription Voluntarily
for as much as possible The
drive is to be put on Friday of this
week, but | would be glad to re-
ceive the voluntary subscription
of every man, woman and child
before that day, as an expression
of their faithful performance of
duty and love of service to their
country.
These subscriptions can be
made at any bank in the county,
the Chamber of Commerce, or my
office. G. r. ELLIS.

With the Victory Loan campaign
nearly half over in the United States,
and less than a quarter of the amount
raised, Sumter county prepared today
to go over the top in one day Friday
and before Friday, if possible.
Although Chairman Ellis today COM
pleted his lists of committees, which
will make the canvass Friday, and
which he will announce Thursday, all
activities were centered today upon
the great mass meeting Thursday af-
ternoon at the chautauQua tent. where
the Seaboard Air Line railroad has
bought" the chautauqua for the af
ternoon, and will throw the tent open
to the publ cwithout admission, and
add a program of entertainment of its
own to the regular program of the
afternoon.
The Thursday afternoon rally will
be Seaboard affair, every Seaboard
employee being expected to be there,
as is shown by the telegram publish
ed at the bottom of this page, received
this morning by Guthrie Allison, of
the claim department, and H. NJ
Sellers, agent here, from W. l.. Stan
ley, assistant manager for the lines.
Mr. Stanley will be here in person
with two special entertainers, Miss
Little, the Red Cross nurse, and Lieut..
Richards, the wounded officer. How
ever, it will not be exclusively Sea-
board affair, and the entire public is
not only invited, but is asked to be
present, the rally being staged pri-
marily for the benefit of the Victory
loan.
It was announced this afternoon
by Mr.. Allison that Miss Dorothy Deyo
would sing at the Thursday afternoon
gathering, accompanied by Mrs. j. e.
Johnson
Airmen from Souther field will put
on a great aerial circus just before
the meeting begins.
Chairman Ellis today issued an ap-
peal to the people of the community
not to wait to be solicited for the
Victory Loan subscriptions, but to
come afterward voluntarily and do the
duty that is theirs.

Rum Cake Newest
Booze Substitute
In Atlanta Cafe

A TLANTA, April 30-The substi-
"A tutes for whisky continue to
be discovered, and many new Ii
guilds with the proper kick, if
not the genuine taste, are being
tried out by the booze artists" in
Atlanta, but the latest substitute
is cake. Now, wait minute. Don't
stop reading yet.
1t is a new kind of cake alto
gether-rum cake, which an en-
terprising cafe proprietor in At
lanta discovered all by himself.
The favoring is a very generous
portion of fire water, and that the
kick is sufficient is evidenced by
the number of persons who have
developed a sudden fondness for
the particular kind of cake sold in
that eating emporium.
''It is just as good as If it had
fallen into a bucket of rum" is
, the opinion offered on it.
