CAPT. J. D. HOLTZENDORFF
IS REPORTED AS ALIVE

Brunswick, April 18.-Accordinp to
information just received in Bruns-
wick, Capt. John D. Holtzendorff. the
young Brunswick artillery captain re-
ported dead in France early in
March, is still lalive and rapidly recov-
ering from the serious wounds he re-
celved. Captain Holtzendorff was
reported among those seriously in
Jured in action by General Pershine
over month ago; the following day
the report was received in this CITY
that the injuries had proved fatal.
and the local officer was put down as
the hrst Georgia captain to lose his
lite IN battle in France. New York
papers, the following Sunday, carried
pictures of him, giving his history.
Relatives here were notified of his
death, and local friends had extend.
ed sympathy.
The announcement that vounp
f1oltzendortt is not only still alive.
but is rapidly recovering was receiv-
ed here through the Army and Navy
Journal, which, in its current issue.
carries a story to the effect that the
announcement of the young officers
death was mistake, and was prob
ably caused by the fact that at one
time his condition was considered so
serious that his recovery was con-
sidered impossible. However, the
journal announces that he is now
rapidly recovering. -
This paper also announces that the
Brunswick officer has been awarded
a medal of honor for brave service
in action. His many local friends are
delighted over the announcement that
he is still alive and will soon be able
to return to battle.

IN $3.50 PLAN

SIGN PLEDGE TO CARRY OUT
FOOD ADMINISTRATION
PROGRAM.
POST CARDS IN STORES.
Explain New Wheat Ruling to
Thousands of Customers-In-
Sures Greater Food Saving.

Grocers of the nation have accepted
enthusiastically the $3.50 basis for the
purchase of wheat -four and are doing
their utmost to explain the new regu-
lation to the housewife. This ruling BY
the U. S. Food Administration requires
each purchaser Of wheat -four to buy
one pound of cereal substitute, one
kind or assorted, for every pound of
wheat -four. 1t was necessary to re.
strict the use Of wheat flour in order
that the allies and our fighting forces
abroad might be assured of an ade-
Quate supply Of wheat to meet their
vital needs. This supply must come
from our savings because we have al
ready sent our normal surplus.
Wheat saving pledge cards were for.
warded by the Food Administration to
all retail food merchants, and these
are being signed and posted in stores
throughout the country. This card
states. 1--WE pledge ourselves loyalty to
carry out the Food Administration pro-
gram. In accordance with this order
we will not sell any wheat -four except
where the purchaser buys an equal
weight OF one or more Of the following,
a greater use Of which in the home
will save wheat:
"Cornmeal, corn flour, edible corn
starch. hominy, corn grits, barley -four,
potato flour, sweet potato flour, soy
bean flour. feterita flour and meals,
rice, rice flour, oatmeal. rolled oats and
buckwheat -four"
Some confusion has resulted on the
part of the consumer In constituting
this 5000" ruling to mean that an
equal amount in value Of substitutes
must be purchased with wheat flour.
This is mistaken idea. The ruling
states that the consumer in purchasing
flour shall "buy at the same time an
equal weight Of other cereals"
One exception to this ruling is con-
corning graham flour and whole wheat
flour, which may be sold at the ratio
Of three pounds to five pounds of
wheat flour. This provision is made
because approximately IS per cent.
more of the wheat berry is used in the
manufacture Of these flours than stand
ard wheat flour.
Another exception Is that concern
ing mixed flours containing less than
80 per cent. of wheat flour, which may
be sold without substitutes. Retailers,
however, are forbidden to sell mixed
fiours containing more than so per
cent. of wheat flour to any person I'M
less the amount of wheat -four substi-
tutes sold il sufficient to make the to-
tai amount Of substitutes, including
those mixed in dours, equal to the to-
tai amount in wheat flour in the mixed
-four. For instance, IL any mixed flour
Is purchased containing 60 per cent.
wheat -four and 40 per cent. substi-
tutes 1t Is necessary that an additional
20 per cent. of substitutes be Dur.
chased. This brings 1t to the basis Of
one pound Of substitutes for each
pound of wheat -four.
A special exemption may be granted
upon application In the case Of special
ly prepared infants and invalids' food
containing hour where the necessity IL
shown.

BY JOSEPH SHAPLEN.

Stockholm, July 15.-If the Allies
will send an army to Russia to sup
port their drive against the German
infantry in Ukraine, the Bolshevikis s
successors propose with Spartan
courage, that with aid and supplies
the can promise the downfall OF the
Germans at Moscow and save Russia.
With the repulse of the Bolsheviki
at Moscow, l have learned that the
social revolutionaries are in absolute
control at MOSCOW, Volga, the Ural
mountains and Siberian regions. Ov-
erlying this fact, the central execu-
tives refused the pleas to lead a rev.
olution against the Bolsheviki. Spon-
taneous uprisings took place and wip-
ed out the Bolsheviki in the cities OF
Novo-G -Gorod, and Nijun.

Yesterday was "Bastile day in
France. A monster parade was held
in Paris in which American troops
participated. The dispatches state
that among them was detachment
(which took part in the capture of

Thierry. Men from the Rainbow di-
vision have been at both these points
in the line. In fact this division was
an important factor in the storming
of the town of Cantigny. Hence. it is
quite prob ably that Hamilton county
soldiers participated in the big par
ade in the French capital "Bastile

fine feeling and charm. He knows
how to tough the heart with song and
to spread the contagion of good feel
ing over his audience. All his songs
hit the mark and his programs were
an inspiration. The audience enjoyed
his concise introductions to certain
of his songs. Many of his numbers
echoed the war spirit at the front.
