GERMANY KNEW OF
AUSTRIA'S PEACE PLAN

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-German
disclaimers of knowledge of Austria's
intention to dispatch her proposal for
nonbinding discussions of peace are
being made in the face of informa-
ton in possession of the American
government that the German govern
ment was fully aware of it's ally's
purpose.
It is not known that Germany gave
her specific approval to the Austrian
move, but officials are satisfied that
if approval was withheld it was sole
ly for the reason that a doubt was
entertained as to the success of the
undertaking.,

trically lighted and protected by concrete
trenches. In front of Cambria the vii
lagos behind the line had beneath them
great chambers which it would be a
SANDER to call dugouts. They were more
like hotels, fitted with electricity, water,
sewers, drying rooms and kitchens. They
were shell proof and bomb proof. The
trenches there were built along the banks
of the Canal Du Nord, which runs north
and south near Hayrincourt.
Important German strongholds pro-
tect the southern section of the line near
La Fere. The forest of st. Gobain pre-
sents an almost insuperable obstacle in
attacking this end of the line.
Laon, lying within the "Big Corner"
where the line turns eastward along the
Chemin des Danes is regarded as the
keystone of the whole German system.
Hundreds of German batteries were in
stalled in the screened r~avines around
that city and in the forests of St. Gobain.
Southwest of Laon the town was pro
tected by Massif of Merampteuil, behind
whose crest are huge underground
ravines and shelters, some big enough
to hold a whole regiment. The forest
west of Laon was cramfned with a vast
store of munitions and materials. Divi-
sions of troops could concentrate in it
unseen.
Recently the Germans discovered that
the big dugouts along the Hindenburg
line were nothing but death traps. An
order by the German divisional COM
forbade the German troops to
occupy dugouts which descend more
than eight.steps underground.

from an average of 203 pounds last year to the almost unprecedented average of 232 pounds or a net in- crease in their meat value of over 15 per cent. This is a distinct addition to the nations meat supply. It there fore now seems certain that we have such enlarged supplies for at least some months to come, that we can not only increase our exports to the allies to the full extent of their transporta- tion facilities, but at the same time can properly increase our domestic consumption
 The response of the public to our re quests for reduced consumption of meat during the past few months has been most gratifying, and this service alone has enabled the government dur ing this period to provide such sup plies as transportation to the allies permitted.
 The Administration also suggests that in those parts of the country where the old fashioned home preser vatiOn of pork is still the custom, this practice should be extended at the present time, as it will relieve the bur den upon transportation to and from the packing houses and is economical ty sound as saving the cost of packing operation and at tho same time will provide home supplies Of pork to last over the months of decreased supplies
 The Food Administration desires to repeat that it does not want to give the impression that these are times when simplicity and moderation of liv- ing are not critically necessary, but that it's sole desire is to secure an ad- iustment between our different food supplies and meet changing conditions from time to time and to keep the pub lie fully and frankly advised of it's position with the full confidence and reliance that whenever it becomes nee essary renewed appeals for saving will met the same loyal response as in the past.

BANKHEAD ROUTE IS
 BEING IMPROVED NOW

Our road overseer, MT. J.L. Bronte, of McCrory, has been busy this week working the road east of town in the Bayou DeVieW bottom where he has had his crew of men and teams engaged in building abutments to the new bridge which was built there last fall. ....
 The work has been needed done for sometime as every time the bayou would get on a rise, traffic would have to de- tour via Pumpkin Bend. To several miles farther and also a loss of time which we are glad to state is now no longer necessary.
 The Bankhead Route is also being greatly improved be- tween Morton and Fair Oaks which has always been the most disagreeable portion of the road over which to travel.
 More than S500.00 will be spent in blowing stumps and graing this part of the high way, beginning at the Wood ruff-Cross County line and working west. Men have been blowing stumps just west of the county line this week and a contract will be let next week by the committee, L. J. billiard J. l.. Bronte and w. w. Raney for the grading at once of two miles of the Fair Oaks-Morton road.

 Several of our folk gathered around the little old bayou on Thursday to angle for those of the finny tribe that were not too discreet to snap at hooks and worms.

American Meat Restrictions Re- faxed to Effect Greater
 Wheat Savings.
ARGENTINE ARRIVALS SHORT
Meat Supply Here Considerably En- larged = Food Administration, However, Warns Against
 Waste.

The allies have made further and increased demands for breadstuffs, these enlarged demands being caused to some degree by shortage in arrivals from the Argentine. It is, therefore, necessary for the U. $. Food Admins tration to urge a still further reduction stuffs generally if we are to meet our export necessities The Food Admin iStration has issued a statement eX- blaming the situation in detail, partic ularly the reasons which lead it, for the purpose of centering effort for the time being upon the cereal situation to relax temporarily the restrictions on meat consumption.
 Experience shows, this statement says, that the consumption of bread StuffS is intimately associated with the consumption of meat For various reasons our supplies of meat for the next two or three months are cOnsid erably enlarged, and we can supply the allies with all of the meat products which transportation facilities render possible and at the same time some what increase our own consumption In these circumstances the Food Ad ministratiOn considers it wise to relax the voluntary restrictions on meat con sumption to some extent with a view to further decreasing bread consump- ton.
 Conservation of food must be ad- justed to meet necessities from time to time, for neither production, nor al- lied demands are constant factors, nor can any of these factors be anticipated for long periods in advance in the dis turbed conditions in which we at pres ent live. While the world situation is not one that warrants any relaxation in the efforts to eliminate waste or to relax economy in food, the Admnis- traitor desires to secure better adjust ment in food balances.
 So long as the present conditions continue the only special restrictions we ask are the beefless and porkless Tuesday.
 The meatless meal and the pOrkless Saturday are no longer asked.
