The news of the disaster to Brit is n
ships came like a thunder bolt here.

British Deny They Lost.
LONDON, June 3. - The latest Brit
ish statement says the British flest

cates that the admiralty do not view
the outcome as unfavorable to the
British. They declared that an inferior
British fleet forced the Germans to re
treat and give up any plans they had.
The British admiralty says that the
Warspite was damaged by gun fire,
and that the Marlbouough was torped
oed but towed safely into port. If the
latest reports are true the German
losses in men nearly match the Brit
ish.

harbor.
The Warspite is one of the newest of
British dreadnaughts, mounting ten
fifteen-inch guns and was completed
since the beginning of the war. The
vessel is a sister ship to the Queen

age to the fortifications there.

GRIFFIN WALKER WAS
BITTEN BI PET DBG
r 1 T -
Master Griffin Walker, who with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jones Walker,
lives near Newpoint in the western
part of the county, is in the city, and
will remain here several days, at the
home of his grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. Fletcher W. Griffin. The young
lad, who is about seven years of age,
v.as playing with his pet dog out in
the country Friday afternoon, and the
animal, becoming overly energetic tn
demonstrations of friendship for his
young master, sank its teeth into the
boy’s lip, penetrating through the ten
der flesh and making a painful
wound.
As soon as Mrs. Walker was made
aware of the fact that her son had
been bitten, she at once brought the
suffering little fellow to Americus, and
the wound was attended by Dr. Doug
las B. Mayes. The dog is not suspect
ed of having rabies, and was not killed,
but acting under instructions of Dr.
Mayes, the animal will be kept under
observation during several weeks. As
a matter of precaution, however, it
has been decided to administer the
Fastuer treatment for tenanus, and the
serum has been ordered from Atlanta.
The friends of young Walker, and his
parents, as well, while regretting to
learn that he met with such misfor
tune, will be glad to know that he is
getting along very nicely, and that no
serious consequences are anticipated.

Would You Mind
Stopping That
Fuss Awhile
You can do whole lot of things
and get by with it, and there’s lots of
things, you wouldn’t do if you took a
thought.
The Americus Hospital Is a place
for sick folks mainly, and the patients
do not relish the idea of a buzzing au
tomobile, with every bone in a sliver
rattling, and every horn on a $3,000
special yelling—cavorting around in
fron* of the hospital. So the ladies of
the hospital have requested all
parties to refrain from a past custom
in parading their cars around in front
ot the hospital, making much noise.

SUNDAY, JUNE 4, T9lB
THE ALCAZAR
Dustin Farnum in “Ben Blair” is at
the Alcazar Monday.
Ben Blair, the boy, a quivering, ter
ror-stricken mite of humanity, alone
on the prarie, cringing with fear o fa
brutal father, while overhead the sky
glowing red in reflection of his home,
fast crumbling to ashes—another mark
of his’ father’s cruelty, and the grave
of his only friend—his mother. Then-
Ben Blair the man, strong determ
ined and resourceful, as only Dustin
Farnum can depicit him, a wonderful
illustration of the man who fighta
life’s battles alone, and who has the
courage of his convictions.
' Ben Blair” is a play, uausual in
its skillful contrasts of life on the
piarie and on Broadway. It possesses
action a plenty, a theme that will hold
and thrill. The “Ben Blairs” of real
life will find a marvelous counterpart
in the “Ben Blair” which Dustin Farn
um has created ofr the screen.
