The WORLD FOOD

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 27.-The follow

been received by the United States
Food administration is a concise state
ment Of an exact condition just as it
has been found to exist:
Recent Developments in Europe
official correspondence and the latest
crop estimates make it plain that the
world food situation today is serious
beyond anything we could see in a

&. support them to the utmost by
rushing food shipments. The require
ments of Great Britain will be much
larger than they were last year. We
must also insure the women Of France
against terrible suffering and make
certain that the Allied cause will not
be weakened by shortage of essential
food supplies.
1.-THE situation is grave today and
the time has come when the people
must realize that the Allied Armies
are depending IN tla continent Of
North America to a far greater ex-
tent than ever before 1t is within
the power of all of us to effectively
support the efforts of our armies. The
farmer has done his part by harest-
ing splendid crop. Plans have been
made for greater production next
year but until the next harvest the
only means of increasing the export
able surplus of food is for The con-
sumner to do his duty. The fighting
efficiency of the Allied forces will be
impaired unless the people awaken
to the seriousness Of the food prob
lem. There rests upon us tremend-
GUS responsioii;t..'-perhaps 30" tAe
Federal Food Administrator for
Georgia, DR.. A. M. Soule, says the re-
spouse by the housewives of Georgia
to the request for conservation was
gratifying indeed, but there can't be,
| if success is to be attained, the slight
est let-up in the determination to con-
tinue the campaign of saving right up
to and beyond the conclusion of the
war Business enterprises, small as
well as large have as important a
part in this work as have the house
wives. Exorbitant profits is a prac-
tice which violates the law and will
not be permitted. Protection of the
people at home against prefiteering IS
as much a part of the work of the
food administration as is the accumu-
lation of eportxable SURPRISES of food
SUPPLIES. The Canadian officials state
ment to his people of conditions in
Europe is just as important to and
and means as much to the people Of
Georgia, and every other state in this
country as it does to the people in
Canada The state administration
! asks the continued complete and
hearty cooperation of every man and
woman in Georgia. Will you give it !?

THE ONLY SENSIBLE THING.

This country can hardly do wiser
thing than to declare war against the
countries that are helping Germany
to strike at us and out national well
fare. 1t ought to have been done the
day we broke with Germany. 1t was
the only thing we could have done to
stop the dangers of the pernicious spy
system. Better say it would have he'll
ped to settle the problems arising out
of the relations with foreign subjects
in this country.
A person whose allegiance is to Aus
tria and who is given his fullest free
dom in this country has all the chance
he needs to operate as an effective spy
and the Grman spy system in this coun-
try wants no better excuse This
country can aim nothing at an Aus
trian here now, but it can deal with
Austrians in accordance with accepted
customs during war when war is for
mally declared
And besides, we are already at war
with those who are helping Germany.
for Americans in the trenches facing
the enemy face as many OF the soldiers
Of Austrian nativity, in all probability
as they do of German rank
Our declaration of war will put us
where we will know what to expect
with regard to our dealing with aliens
of Austrian, Bulgarian and Turkish
birth. 1t can be no greater burden on
us to take care of the differences with
the other central allies than it is now
taking and the formality will give us
some excuse for taking care of the
spies in thi scountry. 1t is a most
commendable thing that this country
has been able thus far to put the Ger
man spies to running so regularly.
War on Austria and other Central
powers twill for immediate purposes
mean war on foreign enemies in this
country. That is the thing which most
concerns us and it is a thing that is
going to be handled with great firm
ness.

OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY
GERMAN PRISONERS.

Two classes of German prisoners are
now detained in this country. One is
comprised of sailors taken into custo-
dy when the United States entered the
war; the other consists of "alien enc
mics" civilians who have been arrested
and are now being held under govern
mental regulations for various reasons.
The principal detention camp is at
Fort Mcpherson, Ga, where approx
mately $50 war prisoners are held; at
Fort Oglethorpe, Ca, there are 165
alien enemies; at Fort Douglas, Utah,
there are SIT prisoners of war and 80
interned Germans. Small detachments
are now temporarily quartered at
army posts throughout the country,
but their number is relatively small
Altogether there are 1884 actual
prisoners of war in the custody of the
War Department and about 400 inter-
ned aliens held at the request of the
department of justice
1t is estimated that Germany is now
holding $40 sailors taken from Amer
lean ships by commerce raiders and
other German vessels.

not altogether unlikely that an effort

The aviation corps is one into which
few men who ask for the place go.
Many try. but few go through for the
lack of the nerve and daring which it
takes, but we would try this, at any
rate.
