FACES STARVATION
ON EVE OF LIBERTY
Samuel Tate. SO. Counterfeiter,
Soon to Be Released.

Paralyzed and friendless, Samuel
Tate, 50 years old, will, on January 3
face the alternative Of committing an.
other crime or starvation
On that date, Tate who is now on
the last lap Of a f1ye year term for
counterfeiting and who has behind
him an almost continuous record OF
crime since 1872, will be released from
the Atlanta Federal Prison.
The old man, who was born in Mary
land. has no living relatives and his
physical condition will prevent his
earning an honest livelihood.
The United States attorney at Phila-
delphia has tried vainly to obtain q
home for Tate among the charitable
Institutions of that city. None Of the
homes for old men will accept former
convicts- Tate's prison associates vol.
unteered to raise a fund. to care foI
him after his release. but the authori-
ties decided this could not be done,
In the opinion OF the prison authori-
ties, Tate will obtain his freedom con-
fronted with the necessity of imme-
diately committing another crime In
order to obtain a home unless the
doors OF some charitable institution
are opened to him

FOOD SAVING URGED
by DEFENSE COUNCIL
BIames Italian Reverse on Allies
Lack of Wheat Last Summer.

The United States Food Adminis-
tration IL striving to conserve every
possible ounce of food '.for the sake
Of the allies. and for the sake. from
now on. Of a great native American
army" the National Council Of De-
Tense declared In . statement sent to
all State defense councils and made
public yesterday.
Blame for the defeat Of the Italians
when they were swept by the Ger
mans back down the mountains 1t
had taken them weary months to cap
ture, was due to lack OF suficient
food. the statement declares, en-
phasizing the Importance Of suficient
foodstuffs to the armies In Europe.
The end of last summer" the
statement declared, saw Cadorna's
sarmy on the point Of making the long
hoped-for break In the Teutonic Inca.
But Italy ran short Of wheat In Sep
tember the all-important bread ration
Of the Italian soldier had to be cut
from 80 grams q day to 600 grams.
The next month the Germans attack
ed, and the Italian line crumpled."
The work OF the Food Administra-
ton the statement added. "is to pre-
vent just such contingencies as the
cutting OF the Italian ration"
The work Of the Food Administra-
tion Is two jobs rather than one. The
first task Il to see that food In the
more concentrated forms is saved
from unnecessary consumption here in
order that 1t may be shipped to Eu-
rope"
Keeping down the cost Of living. the
statement continues. Is not the pri-
mary object Of the administration, al
though already 1t has saved millions
OF dollars to the people Of America
Every American citizen is urged tc
cooperate in food conservation and
observe the regulations issued by the
administration.
The worlds food situation Is bad" )"
