DENOUNCE KAISER
Hun Prisoners Say Germans Will Not
Keep Him on Throne

On the British Front, Nov. T.
Among the latest prisoners in the
Valencienres area there is displayed
striking evidence of disgust for the
Kaiser, Ludendorff and the Prussians
generally.
One officer frankly said the Ger
man people will no longer permit the
Kaiser or any of his sons to remain
on the throne. He was particularly
bitter agains, the Prussians, because
Gen. Ludenoorff, he asserted, placed
civilian officers in line while giving
Prussian cficers safer places behind
He voicel the opinion of other cap
tured Germans regarding. Alsace-
Lorraine snd the African colonies,
saying &c many would be willing to
give them up.
During tha battle east of Valenci-
ennes one complete Baden regiment
surrendered after an unsuccessful
counter-attack. The total strength of
the 111th German Division after the
attack was only 211 men. while three
of its companies had fifty rifles each
and the 10th Regiment comprised
only fifty rifles.
A captured document bearing Lu-
dendorff's lame shows the strict or
der issued against looting and sack
ing no longer is needed.
The Germans avail themselves of
household effects as formerly.
The Germans are fastening their
retreat toward the Mons-Mauberge
line, although offering strong rear
guard resistance.
The German staff was surprised by
yesterdays great onslaught, following
so quickly upon the hard-fought bat
tie of Val enciennes, and was not ex-
pecting the pressing armies to bring
up such a quantity of guns and shells,
which worked havoc ir its armies
when the attack started and through
out the day.
The work of the British engineers
in improvis;ne bridges across the wa
terways behind which the Germans
hoped to make longer stand is indi-
Gated by the feat Of one contingent,
which erected a bridge IL six minutes
under fire, with only eleven casual
ties.

WAR WORKING HUTS
First Ten States Meeting Quota Will
Have Huts Named for Them

Boston, Nov. 9-News sent out
from the National Headquarters of
the United War Work Campaign this
morning to the effect that the first
ten states in the country which sub
scribe their campaign quotas first
during the week of November IL to
18. will have the honor of having wal
working huts in the fighting zone
named after them has set New Eng
land on its toes.
"We will have six out of the ten,
is the slogan that is sweeping into
every corner of Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut.
This is a splendid incentive" salo
James Logan, chairman of the New
England Committee. 'New England
has always been in front in works OF
this kind and | feel confident that
more than one hut on Foreign sol
will bear the name of a New England
state"
The news created considerable eX
citement down at Massachusetts:
headquarters in the Equitable build
ing and the local committee insis
they are going out to get Hut No. l
1t is interesting to know that these
huts, which are large portable af
fairs, will follow the troops wherever
they go and this means that whe1
"Our Boys" cross the Rhine the hut
will go with them.

THE BIG DRIVE
$4,000
STARTS WEEK
St. JOhnsbury Will Go Over
the Top When 1t Is
All Over
CANVASSERS START
MONDAY MORNING
Enthusiastic Meeting al
ArmOry Friday After
noon with Eloquent
Speakers

The foundation for the United War
Work Campaign was laid in St.
Johnsbury Friday afternoon at the
Armory
ST. Johnsbury will raise $4,000 for
this fund during the next eight days,
Nov. II to 18, inclusive This amount
is more than three times the largest
previous war fund which this town
has been asked to give, but St.
Johnsbury has never failed in any
of these war drives. We have in
varibly oversubscribed and the obi
cations have been met. The size of
the present quota means harder work
and deeper digging and that every
man, woman and child who can give
must give. The slogan of this cam
paign. is GIVE"
A. C. Hurd State Director of the
campaign, opened the meeting at the
Armory with the description of the
work of the various organizations
and gave some idea of the need for
more than the $170,000,000 originally
asked for and laid stress on the fact
that more funds would be needed for
this work Immediately after hostilit-
les ceased than ever before and that
the work of these seven OrganlZa-
tions would continue for the next two
years at least.
Mr.. Hurd introduced Mrs. Brigadier
{ Mary Shepard of the Salvation Army
who gave a most interesting talk on
her work with our army in France.
Mrs. Shepard was followed by Rev.
L. C. Wright of Springfield, Mass,
who described in the most vivid and
interesting manner the life of a Y.
| NJ. C. A. worker at the fighting front
in the great war. Both these speak
ers were able to show the audience
in the most convincing manner the
| tremendous need for the work which
is being performed by these seven
| institutions which we are now asked
to support. The harvest is indeed
great and the laborers are compare
lively few. Our dollars will help
bridge the gap and meet the emer-
gency. 1t is impossible to give toe
| much Ic uloiey 10 NoI C1uliS
handled and we'll spent.
Miss M. L. Southwick of Burling-
ton, executive secretary of the 'Vic-
tory Girls" division of the campaign
gave careful description of this
feature of the drive and made a
touching appeal for generous and
whole-hearted contributions for this
great service.
The local solicitors came together
again in the Armory at 7.30 Friday
evening and organized for the work
A house to house canvass will be
made. Every solicitor has a badge
which entities them to collect these
subscriptions. The Fairbanks fac
tory will be .canvassed as in previous
campaigns and the progress of the
drive will be reported in this paper
from day to day. Everyone is urged
to be ready and to remember that
their subscriptions should be at least
three times their largest previous
gift.
Remember this is for our boys anc
it may be our last chance to help
It will not be enough to "do youl
bit"
We must DO OUR BEST. Dont
make these boys ashamed of you.

GIVING AND THANKSGIVING

Thanksgivings round the corner lust
little way ahead
And were smoothing out our think
cry for what should then be said;
1t Will be by far the biggest Of the
holidays we're seen
And we'll celebrate it gloriously and
beat the record clean.
We've been giving, giving, giving
time and money, means and men
Life and blood and all the energy tina
could be mustered when
All the calls were made for giving
sacrifice and service too,
We have spent ourselves in giving
doing what there was to do.
But the giving all was worth it III IN,
great returns it brought,
And the best we had to give was no
an ounce more than we ought
We were glad in all the service, cheer
full through the sacrifice.
So, the Lord must surely love us since
We paid the right price
Then the thing we're mostly thankful
for in times of proper praise
And the fact that stirs Our gratitude
these bright victorious days
Is that to certain triumph that shall
help us all to live
Now the larger life is that we were
but privileged to give-Exchange

FOOD ADMINISTRATION WAS
INSTRUMENTAL IN PRE-
VENTING SHORTAGE

Atlanta, Cain the midst of the
discussion incident to the close OF
war and the questions as to the pol
ICY OF the government in maintaining
Its various war provisions and agcn-
cies, one fact has been definitely es-
tablished, namely; that the Federal
Food Administration will continue
in force until the food question for
the nations OF the world has been
settled beyond danger of famine and
starvation for the nations overseas.
The vision of the food administers
ton tor this country has long since
been established. and it is generally
recognized that without the work of
the administration the nation must
have faced food shortages. High
prices that would have placed the
necessities of life beyond the reach
OF the poor, boarding, all of the evils
OF uncontrolled war situation, would
have brought the country to an
alarming state of being All Of this,
however, has been averted, and now
Mr.. Hoover is to undertake to solve
the food problem for the European
countries.
Georgia had strong food organi-
cation from the first DR., Andrew NJ
Soule, state food administrator hav-
ing brought to his duties expect
/ knowledge, keen enthusiasm ant
earnest endeavor.4 Major Devereaus
McClatchey, his executive secretary
has been an able assistant while the
county food administrators have beer

ties. The result has been apparent
in the fine showing made by Geor
, gia.

teal phases of the food administra-
tons work.
He made it clear that the day of
the prohteer is done, and whatever
may be the future policy of the food
administration there is to be no more
overcharging.
We don't want to be hard on any
body, and we are not going to be
hard on anybody who totes fair with
the food administration and the pub
lie" said Major McClatchey. But
1t may as well be understood now,
once and for all, there is going to be
no more profiteering in Georgia
There haven't been many violations,
comparatively, but there are going to
be fewer i'll the future There will be
no more compromise money penal,
ties or voluntary contributions to the
Red Cross. Prohteering in the flu
ture means one of two things-an
outright revolution of license or pros
ecution in the federal courts. I'm
strong for the Red Cross and hate
to deprive it of any money it might
otherwise get, but the time has ar
rived for more lrm action"
Major McClatchey urged local adj
minlstrators to keep a sharp eye for
proflteers and report all cases prompt
ly. The Food Administration, he said,
will do the rest.
He asked that in each county the
list OF fair prices be made cut regu-
larly on the basis laid down by the
rules of the Food Administration and
that this list Of prices be Published in
the local newspapers so that every
body may know what ought to be
charged and violations may be the
more easily detected.
Major McClatchey praised the
splendid cooperation the administra-
ton has received from the dealers, as
we'll as from the public generally. He
was also strong in his tributes to the
tine and conscientious support of the
, local food administration officials who
have helped make the work of the
state administration successful in
Georgia.
The number of questions asked Ma
Jor McClatchey and the keen interest
and enthusiasm OF the representatives
present was proof conclusive of their
determination to stand behind Ameri-
ca in whatever demands may be
made upon her down to the last de-
tall and they gave assurance that
their people at home are also willing
to meet any demand that may be
made upon them in these critical
times when the destines of the world
are being decided and every factor
counts.
The meeting was a splendid success

and will enable the state heads TO tell
Mr.. Hoover upon his return from
Europe that Georgia stands ready to
play her part to the fullest in what
ever role it may be necessary for
America to take to relieve world-suf-
fering and restore peace to mankind.
The cooperation of America in
feeding the world will be further en-
phasized during World Relief Week"
December 2, to 9TH, when an enor-
nous amount of food is expected to
be saved in a nationwide weeks CAM

lined for use in the different counties

AMERICA MUST
CONTINUE To
SAVE FOOD

Atlanta, Ga.-Though actual fight
ing is at an end and real peace is APP
parently at hand, the patriotic sacri-
fees OF America in saving food must
continue for while longer and may
even be intensified in some particulars
DR.. Andrew NJ Soule, of Athens. fed
eral feod administrator for Georgia,
told the county representatives of the
Food Administration in session at the
state capitol Tuesday, November 19.
1t appears, therefore, that the food
administration organization will be
maintained for some time to come
upon practically its present basis to
carry en- the conservation necessary
to solving the new food problems of
the world. and the people of Georgia
will be called upon to lend the same
generous cooperation they have Civ
en- the administration in the past. w.
K. Beyden, chief of the enforcement
division Of the federal food admins
tratioR at Washington, D. c., who
also addressed the county administra-
tors at the meeting here, said that
Mr.. Hoover is now making a study
of the needs of the European peoples,
both Allied and Teutonic and is max.
ing survey of the worlds food sup
ply and transportation facilities.
Whem the facts thus ascertained are
assembled. program of food con-
servatien for world relief will be out
lined fer America, he said.
1t is likely that the present food re-
strictiens, with notifications in some
particulars, will remain in force until
at least July l, 1919 In some details,
notably fats and dairy products, the
restrictions almost certainly will have
to be made more stringent than at
present.
DIR. Seule, i'll his address said with
the present and prospective wheat
supply and the prospect of more ship
ping becoming available, it has been
possible to lift the wheat restrictions
already. Indeed, he states, the on
coming crop is SO large that there is
a possibility that next ear the prob
lem may be more largely that of stor-
age and transportation of wheat thar
