In the meantime, Hindenburg is being

Standing before great map, General
Du Goutte explained apparent German
plan Of the last Marne attack, which
was to widen the front south Of the

the advance upon Paris. French and
Americans prevented a serious advance
beyond the Marne, then completely
scrambled Hindenburg's plans by coun-

has stiffcned north of the Ourcq and
bitter fighting is under way on the pla-

London, Aug. ASSASSINATION of
Field Marshal Won Eichorn, morning
newspapers believe, means a renewed
awakening in Russia against German ty-
ranny.
The Daily Express declares:
"It is just wisp of the heavy storm
clouds that are gathering in Russia
against the Germans.''
The Graphic states:
cit is an unmistakable sign chat the
Russians are not prepared to indefi-
nitely endure the tyranny imposed with
the aid Of the bolshviki.
The Chronicle believes the assassina
ton resulted from the misery and dis
content which are felt by the largest
social class in Russia.
The German press is seizing upon the
assassination as the spark which will set
ablaze again the feeling for renewed
war against Russia, Newspapers say an.
ti-bolshevik elements committed the
deed ard charge that the entente's hand
can be seen. They declare the bolshe
vik government is tottering.
The annexationist press, led by Count
Won Reventlow, is demanding venge'
ance, declaring British agents are re-
sponsible.
Vorwaerts says:
"The deed will lead to complication
with the bolshvik. We fear peace witt
Russia will still give us much trouble

ings committee, which committee
will be organized within few days.
The apportionment for Florida is
$20,627,460; for Polk county $780,
$50, and for Lakeland, $3.50, 900,
which is at the rate of $40 per cap
ita Of the estimated population.
This campaign is to be conducted
for the period of one year and is
not for the purpose 80 much of
RAISING funds as of SAVING
money. 1t is, in fact, money-say-
ing campaign. The government is
able to carry on the war through
the taxing power which Congress
has extended, but would much rath-
er use the savings of the people
which, unlike taxes, can be returned
to them with interest.
This campaign will be carried in
TO every little village and hamlet in
the country and be the means this
year not simply of furnishing the
government with two billions of
dollars for the war but of inculcat-
ing principles of saving and thrift
which will mean much to the peo-

Jacksonville Restaurant And
Hotel Men SlackerS On
Conservation Job

|sonville hotel and restaurant keep
ers have been falling down on the
Job OF conservation through meat,
less and wheatless days, according to
Mrs. B. L Arms. State director of
urban work for the United States
department of Agriculture. While
meatless days have been observed
half-heartedly in some of the res
taurants and hotels, wheatless days
are almost unknown locally, Mrs.
Arms stated this morning.
with only few exceptions,
where meatless and wheatless days
have 6been strictly kept, Jacksonville
hotels and restaurants have as yet
done nothing toward conservation.
Mrs. Arms continued.
Some time ago several announced
that no meat would be served on
Tuesday, but investigation has
proved that patrons have had little
difficulty in getting meat upon re-
questt. Wheatless days have been
even more spasmodic, Mrs Arms de-
clares. 'TT
-, Excuses
One of the most frequent excuses
given for lapses is that it is hard to
find substitutes for meat and wheat.
This, Mrs. Arms says, is simply be-
cause restaurant and hotel men have
not been sufficiently interested in
conservation to look into the matter.
Literature of all kind on meat ana
wheat substitutes has been issued by
the Department Of Agriculture and
by the Food Administration. Recipes
are given in detail, and substitutes
have the same food values.
ut looks almost as if some Jack
sonville caterers were anxious to
evade meatless and wheatless days,
and are using ignorance of substi-
tutes as a shield for their lack of pa.
tliotism. Certainly, 1t can be called
nothing else than lack of patriotism
when their president has told them
that food conservation will be one
of the biggest factors in winning the
war
Another excuse is that patrons
have demanded meat or wheat on
meatless and wheatless days and
have threatened to take their pat
rcnage elsewhere, if they are not
given meat or wheat bread. 1t Is
very unfortunate that there should
be such people in the country and
certainly they deserve no consider.
alton, but If all hotel and restaur-
ants observed meatless and wheatless
days strictly, the threat to take
patronage elsewhere would be I'M
availing.
Munson's Request
Mrs. Arms said this morning tina.
fifty hotel and restaurant men she
had called on this week have agreed
to make meat and wheat taboo on
Tuesday and Wednesday beginning
next week, and she is content that
al: will fall into line before the end
of the week
A local bakery has announced its
intention of having war bread on
hand Wednesday so that hotels and
restaurants will have no difficulty
in serving a substitute for wheat.
Local fish dealers have announced
an improvement in the fish market
and state that they will have plenty
of fish on hand Tuesday.
Lieut.. c. A. Munson has requested
soldiers at Camp Johnston to patron
izc restaurants and hotels known to
be observing wheatless and meatless
days.
The November 18th shipment of
wheat abroad, 100000, brought
the export up to normal, and since
that time the United States by OBJ
serving wheatless Wednesdays has
shipped 100000 bushels of wheat
