PREPARES TO
RECEIVE HIGHWAY FUND
Expects Government Voucher
for $4,000 for Road Pro-
jeCtS in. State

Judge t. f. Patterson, chairman of
the Georgia Highway Commission. was
preparing Saturday for the receipt of
government vouchers amounting to ap-
proximately $4,000. the 1917 appor-
tionment of the federal good roads
fund for this state.
Judge Patterson, who, as related in
The Journal of Friday, has just return
ed from Washington with assurances
that his plans for the allotment and
expenditure of the federal fund would
be approved by the secretary of agri-
culture, explained Saturday that one OF
two samll projects which he had hoped
to see completed this year would have
to come out of the 1918 apportion-
ment. They amount to about $4,000.
The highway commission is still with
out official confirmation of the approx
al. which is believed by Judge Patterson
to have been given Friday. This con-
firmation will probably come by mail.
The fund will yield $4,000 imme-
diately for the continuation and COM
pletion of the Atlanta-Macon highway.
An, equal amount of money has already
been assured by the state from the
counties through which the Atlanta
Macon highway passes. These are Full
ton, Clayton, Henry, Spalding. Pike,
Monroe and Bibb.
AS soon as the money arrives, it will
be expended in the several counties
according to the legal schedule. The
law provides that each county to re-
ceive aid must put up an amount equal
to that apportioned to it.

HOOVER DENIES LIVESTOCK
PRICE FIXING is PLANNED
False Report Brings Flood of
Hogs to Market in
Louisville

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. ia state
ment, widely circulated, that the federal
food administration intended to fix the
price of hogs at $40 per hundred as
compared with former higher prices has
brought flood of hogs to this market
brought the price down $1.05 to $500
within two days, and eliminated today
in a denial by Herbert Hoover that
livestock price fixing was contemplated
Mr.. Hoovers denial, addressed to all
federal administrators, asserts the state
ment with reference to alleged price
fixing first appeared in Chicago papers.
These are absolutely untrue" Mr..
Hoover declares, land do not represent
opinion or proposed action of the food
administration. which will take no steps
to jeopardize livestock producers inter-
ests. All our power will be used to
keep prices at which allied and govern
mental purchases are made, on a plane
that gives assured return of cost and
profit to producers of meat animals.
I'm our opinion the best market OBJ
tainable for the present corn crop of
the country will be through livestock.
We need increased production of beef
and pork and the only way to secure this
increase will be by profit on produc-
ton"

N. G. OFFICERS WARNED
NOT TO TELL MOVEMENTS
Are Prohibited From Making
Reports to Governors or
Other Authorities

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2O.-A sharp or
der has gone out to all national guard
officers. forbidding them to communi-
cate TO state authorities, formally or
informally, any information as to the
movements of their own or other units
of the federal armies. Two recent in
stances where messages of this charac-
ter have come from Europe, revealing
facts which the government wished to
be withheld from publication, prompted
the action of the war department.
The following order. made public to-
day, has been sent to commanders of all
national guard divisions by Adjutant
General Mccain:
Communicate orders to each organi-
zation commander in your division that
during the time they are in the federal
service they are prohibited from max
ing any report, formal or informal, to
the governor or other authorities, civil
or military, of their respective states
relating to any movement of their or
ganization, or of any other federal troops
or personnel"
The order does not forbid national
guard officers from advising their fami-
lies of arrival at any point
The cases which prompted the order
cannot be specifically described under
the voluntary censorship rules. High
officers of national guard units, in each
case, sent the offending messages 1t
is not known whether any action against
them is contemplated by the military au-
thorities.

KAISER SPENDS
MILLIONS FOR
PROPAGANDA
Vast Sums, Which Are De-
signed to Sway Public 0pin-
ion, Poured Into Neutral
Countries

LONDON. Oct. 1s.-Germany today is
pouring vast amounts of money into neu-
trail countries for propaganda designed
to sway public opinion. According to
authoritative information her expendi-
lures for this work will total more than
$50. 900. 900 on the present scale of Law
ishness
Much of the money is spent in subsi-
dizing and influencing newspapers. In a
number of cases Germans bought news
papers outright and managed them from
behind the scenes. Large amounts are
also being paid agents to keep peace agi-
tation going.
Ii was learned today that on one &C.
casion the German minister TO Mexico,
Won Eckhardt. subsidized a Mexican
newspaper by furnishing it news-print
paper and securing for it, tolls free, the
German communique and other Ger
man-made news"
In return. this newspaper was to fea-
ture The German communique on the
first page, and to bury the allied official
reports inconspicuously on an inside
page. German-made editorials were also
10 be carried.
In the year before China entered the
war. authoritative information is that
Germany spent s2.oo0. 900 in that country
through her agents, seeking to. influence
the Chinese public against Japan and the
allies One of the mistakes made was
the laundering translation into Chinese
of a pamphlet designed to promote anti
ally feeling. The clumsy wording of
the pamphlet aroused the Indignation Of
the Chinese.
