CONSERVATION OF FOOD
MUST MEET BIG CRISIS
Governor, Realizing Country'S
ProbIemr Issues ProCIama-
ton Dealing With Remedy

Asserting that a crisis is at har
and conservation is the watchword {
the hour, Governor Hugh NJ. Dorse
Friday afternoon issued the followin
urging food conservation
The world today Is facing the
most serious food problem in it's
history, according to the best au-
thorities on economics. This is due
in large measure to the great world
war which has now been in progress
since 1914. There has been wide
spread withdrawal of labor from the
fields to meet the demands of the
battle front. A crisis is at hand
Conserva ton is the watchword of
the hour.
The entrance of our own country
into the struggle of nations lays
upon us grave responsibilities and
duties. We must practice rigid
self-denial We must economic for
the countrys sake and the common
good.
Our president has called upon the
people of the United States to con-
serve the food supplies Of the ma
ton in every way eXpedient or pos
sible. America is now the worlds
granary in a most emphatic and real
our own armies; and besides feed
ing ourselves, we must maintain the
fighting efficiency of the allies. To
this end, an immense surplus of food
is needed.
If judiciously conserved and used,
there is an abundance of food in
sight for all purposes, but the re-
quirements of the situation are ur-
gent Upon every individual an i'm
perative obligation is laid. All must
help. The appeal of the hour is
made to every man, woman and
child. We must eat less. In many
instances, we must employ sub
stitute articles of food. 1t is es-
sential to success that we conserve
wheat, meat, fats and sugar.
Therefore, by virtue of the author
ity vested in me as governor of the
state of Georgia, l, Hugh NJ. Dorsey,
call the attention of our people to
these facts, and ask them, to Join
I'm a united effort to save sufii-
cient amount of these food supplies
to meet the requirements above In
dictated In order that the people of
Georgia may be properly Informed
concerning the gravity of the sit
uation, a statewide campaign which
will undertake to enroll the names
of all householders will be insti-
tuted October 81 and continue
through the week. l, as governor of
Georgia, appeal to the people of this
state TO bear in mind the Importance
of signing food pledge cards during
the week beginning October p. and
in this way cooperate with the
United States food commission, and
comply with the wishes of our
president.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-(By Foreign Ca
bles from European apitals.)-Without
regard to the highly unfavorable weather
conditions prevailing and in a surpris-
irgly short time after the successful
British thrust of last week the British
and French forces In Belgium have
launched another heavy attack on the
German lines.
The blow fall early today In the re.
gion east and northeast of Ypres, where
Crown Prince Rupprecht's lines had al
the previous British thrusts.
The British commander early reported
satisfactory progress on all parts Of the
front of the attack which he announced
was made in conjunction with our allies
on our left"
Shortly afterward the Paris official
statement indicated clearly that the
French forces In Flanders were those
alluded to by the British commander In
chief. The launching of an attack in
concert with the British was announced
and the favorable development of the
attack reported
A considerable force Of French troops
took part in the beginning of the Elan
ders drive on July 81 and in the subse-
quent fighting that consolidated the
ground won by them from point north
east of Langemarck as far north as Dir
nude.
This section of the front remained
comparatively quiet while the British
tc the south were renewing their drive
last month. Apparently the time is now
considered opportune for bringing the
line to the north more nearly on the
level with the advanced British front
The French attack today extended as
far to the north as Houtholst forest,
about five miles toward the coast from
Bixschoote.
