UNW|SE To PUBLISH
WHEN TROOPS DEPART

ATLANTA, Ca, April 19-An illus
tration of one reason why it would
be inadvisable and dangerous to pub
lish the movement of trains carrying
troops was furnished yesterday in At
lanta in the wreck of the Dixie Flyer
bound from Chicago to Jacksonville.
One coach of the train was loaded
entirely with soldiers, and while none
of them were injured and no passenger
in any other coach was seriously in,
jured on the very brink of an embank-
ment $50 feet high, when if it had
rolled down it probably would have
dragged the whole train with it, kill
ing and injuring scores of people.
1t is not shown in this case that
the wreck of the train was caused
by an obstruction placed on the track
for that purpose, but it would be COM
paratively easy for a secret enemy OF
the nation to wreck a troop train if
the movements of these trains were
published.

BUTCHERS APPLY
FOR Permission
TO RAISE PRICES
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR AND HIS
ADVISORY COMMITTEE PROPOSE
TO THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE
THE MATTER.
Americus butchers want to increase

Americus butchers want to increase
the price of certain cuts of meat.
A committee composed OF Messrs.
G. M Bragg, L. A Morgan and W. A.
Ayash presented the situation to the
food administration yesterday, and
Food Administrator Mangum has the
petition for authority to increase the
price under consideration 1t is prob
able the advisory committee will be
asked to pass upon the proposal to
raise prices, and an investigation OF
the whole market business IN Sumter
county may be ordered, as a result OF
the petition.
The butchers set ont they are COM
PEELED to pay higher prices for cer-
tain cuts than they ara allowed to sell
these for under the existing regula-
tions. while some 'citizens object t.
present prices as too high. The
butchers desire to base their selling
prices upon quotation for western Dr
packing house cuts. with no allowance
for native beef. pork and mutton that
they kill themselves here in Americas.
and it is proposed TO give citizens
fullest opportunity 10 object to this
system before allowing any further
increase in prices.
Resident. therefore, are invited to
communicate objections, if any they
have to the food administration, it be-
ing preferred that such objections be
in writing and addressed to 'The Sum
ter County Food Administration, Amer
icus, Ga" Such communication are to
be regarded as confidential and the
names of directors viii not be reveal

FRENCH
ATTACK
STARTS
ON IMMENSE FRONT THE GER
MANS ARE POUNDED BY ARTIL.
LERY, AND EVERY ONE OF THEIR
ATTACKS is REPULSED.

Blocked in the center of his Fland-
crs drive, Won Hindenburg continues to
fail always at the northern and sou
thern fanks of his wedge.
The only result of this pressure.
however, is an ever-increasing enemy
casualty list, General Haigs official re-
ports show.
Today's official communiques indi-
cate that the German assaults have
been beaten back everywhere, and
that many of them were broken up by
Allied artillery fire before they could
get under way.
One German attack on the Givenchy-
Robecq front, in which eleven divls-
ions, or one hundred and twenty-five
thousand men participated, failed to
gain an inch of territory, according to
dispatches from the front received in
London German dead we're heaped In
great piles upon the battlefield when
the enemy finally abandoned the as
sault.
French troops are assuming a more
dominant part in the west front fight
ing. Not only have reserves appeared
in great force upon the Flanders bat
tlefield, but they are taking the initia-
tive before Amiens. The British, aided
by General Foch's men, extended their
lines in the north yesterday and beat
back several German attacks with
heavy enemy losses.
French artillery pounded German po-
sition on the Picardy front yesterday
over more than fifty miles from the
Somme to the Oise This was one of
the heaviest bombardments ever laid
down by the Allies. Unable to deter
mine from what quarter the French
assault was coming, the Germans were
caught by surprise when French
troops suddenly swept forward on a
narrow front of scarcely more than
four miles along the Avre river be-
tween Thermes and Mailly Raineaval.
The enemy were pushed back here, and
the French established themselves east
Of Oastel This is at the point of the
closest approach of the Germans to
Amiens:
Aside from General Haig's with
drawal from the awkward Passchan-
daels pocket, the British line today is

OF the United Press with the British
armies in France, reported today.

NEGRO's PUNISHMENT
BUYING LIBERTY BOND

ATLANTA, Ga, April ia hard
working and prosperous negro farmer
went into the headquarters of the
Food Administration in this city and
reported the fact that he had on hand
a greater quantity of -four than the
regulations allow. He had read in the
papers that the Food Administration
expected all persons having -four in
their possession to report their ex-
cess Immediately. He fully expected
that his excess would be taken away
from him, in which he was entirely
mistaken, but he came in to make
his report just the same.
"You have violated the regulations
Of the Food Administration, Major
u. F. McClesky, executive secretary
to DIR. A. NJ Soule, federal food ad-
ministrator for Georgia, informed him
Under the law you could be fined
and sent to the federal prison. But We
are not going to do that because you
have shown willingness to do your
patriotic duty. How much much mon
ew have you got in the bank?"
This direct and rather inquisitive
question almost took the negro's
breath away, and he he beat around
the bush several minutes befoe he
answered naming quite substantial
amount
"You go and buy a $1,000 Liberty
Bond and bring it back here and show
it to me, and we'll let you off,, said
Major McClatchey.
The negro went straight to the
bank and bought the bond and took
it back, and thanked Major McCIatchey
very gratefully for allowing him to
invest his money, or a portion as fine.
The banker had explained to him just
what a Liberty Bond is, and what 1t
means, and how safe it is as an in
vestment, and the negro was delight

ANER|CUS WILL
NOT HAVE To CO
WITHOUT FLOUR
In THIS COUNTY WILL
BE TAKEN CARE OF THROUGH
ASSISTANCE OF THE STATE AD-
MINISTRATION.

There need be NO alarm over the
-four situation in this county.
While this county now has only a
sixty-day supply On hand" says Food
Administrator Mangum, there will be
plenty for everybody on the basis oe
six pounds a month to the person, ii
the proper conservation measures are
adopted. My reports and Investigations
show that the present supply win last
until July, and it is expected by
that time the new wheat crop win
have been harvested, and as Sumter
county has big acreage in wheat this
year, no shortage is likely to result.
Besides I, have been personally as
sured by DR.. Soule, the state adminis-
traitor, that Americus and Sumter
county will be protected. When the
wholesalers here run out of -four, !
will be able to arrange for them to
purchase some in the state, probably
some of that recently seized by the
state administration. DR.. Soule adj
vises me that he has a considerable
supply on hand, and will be glad to
spare Americus some from time to
time as it may be needed In fact, I
have already reserved two carloads
for this community, to be shipped
here whenever there is any demand
for them. For these reasons, the as
surance can be given that this county
will not suffer.

CAMPAIGN HERE
TOBE PUSH He'd
So Far the Smaller Towns of the County Are Leading in Bond
Selling. Farmers of Sumter Rally Splenddly to the
Appeal to Help County

The farmers around Plains, in con-
junction with the bankers and business
men Of Plains, have taken $4,000 in
bonds, which is really more than the
quota assessed them.
About an equal showing has been
made in the 9TH district.
Andersonville and Americus are
most behind, but both are now coming
rapidly to the front.
Mr.. Lanier and Mr.. l. G. Council,
who is county chairman, are going to
devote much of their personal time
during the remainder of the campaign
to the work of raising the local as
sessment. Both are confident that

A vigorous campaign to raise more
subscriptions to the Liberty Bond is
sue is in progress in Americas, under
the direction of Mr. Frank Lanier who
is chairman of the workers for the
27th district.
So far, Americas is not responding
as well as the country districts. Both
Plains and Leslie are doing better, in
comparison, than Americus
The county's quota this time is $312,-
O00, more than the two previius quotas
combined
So far less than two-thirds of this
amount has been raised, and the great
majority of that has come from the
country people.
The farmers of Sumter county, are
doing a magnificent share, many OF
them borrowing money and selling
property, so as to invest in Liberty
Bonds.
Attention has been called to the
case of Mr.. Jasper Cheeks, a black
smith, at Huntington. He had saved
up $3.50, and yesterday he borrowed
$50 more from Mr.. Lee Johnson and
invested the whole sum in a Liberty
Bond.
Mr. John Methvin knows of man
in his district who has $4,000 in cash
saved up, and who is going to lend it
all to the government.
