their cottonseed cake as ii is needed
rather than to purchase the entire
winters supply for their cattle at
once. This will render the situation
as to price and supply less acute than
at present.
After a careful survey the food ad
ministration finds that there will be
full supply OF this material and
probably a surplus owing to the EN-.
barge of exports. II the buying is
done in lesser quantities at a time.
the manufacturers will be given an
opportunity to crush the crop of seed
now going into the mills, thus secur-
ing their requirements as needed and
giving the manufacturers an oppor.
tunity to accumulate a surplus.
At present the demand in drought
areas Is greater than the immediate
nearby supply, which has caused not
only tremendous advance in price,
but much difficulty in securing what
is wanted for the winter.
The cottonseed crop is late and the
difficulties OF transportation are great
| but the crop in sight is ample.
The 800 mills in the southern states
can produce $4,000 tons of cottonseet
cake and meal a day, and in Texa!
alone 5000 tons a day can be turneC
out during the season.
/ In addition to the cottonseed oak,
supply there will be later a larg
amount OF peanut cake and millions o
tons of velvet beans from Georgia an
Alabama. These are of equal value TO

imposition of the death penalty.
The findings OF the court and the
penalty are reviewed by the advocate,
who makes any recommendations he
may see e. and then sends all rec
ords and information to the COM
handing general, who is the ultimate
Judge. The latter may reverse the
whole findings and verdict, or he may
moderate the punishment. However
he can never add to the penalty or
change its nature.
Because soldiers live in close con-
tact with each other, theft and other
offenses are sometimes easy. The
decision Of the court here is usually
so severe that a soldier may leave his
valuables lying around with impnity.
The enlisted man has avenues of
justice apart from the court. If he
has been given unduly severe punish
ment by a company commander he
may appeal to the next highest officer.
II he still fails to secure justice he
may appeal to the commander of the
brigade. In the event the brigade
commander sustains the unjust penal
;y the Judge advocate will act, and
see that the man is given his rights.

SHAMEFUL GERMAN ATROCITIES

So many atrocities upon the part
OF the Germans have been brought to
light since the war began that publ
cation of the fact that Belgian women
and girls are being forced to build
concrete dugouts for their Cypress
ors while under fire of the allied guns
will not occasion any considerable
amount of surprise.
The story is found in the diary of
a captured German soldier, n ser.
geant. whose duty it was to march
the unfortunate women and girls to
their task in the morning and back
again in the evening.
To the credit of this individual sol
der, who belonged to a landwehr d.
vision, be 1t said that he thought it a
shameful deed on the part OF Ger
many. which cannot be surpassed even
in the imagination"
