u. S. ARMY TO BE HELD
FOR MIGHTY BLOW
[Continued from First Page.l

til fully organized and then strik-
ing a mighty blow in conjunction
with the British and French, which
would smash the German lines and
bring a decision.
There were no official expressions
available on the subject to-day. The
knowledge that such a plan was be-
ing considered has been very closely
held by the few who have known
it. 1t is certain that it has been
the subject of exchanges between
the American, British and French
governments and undoubtedly has
been discussed at Versailles. Those
who are most familiar with the sub
ject are of the opinion that the de-
cision arrived at probably agrees
more with the views of the British
strategists than it does with the
French, although the views of Cen
eralissimo Foch have not been fully
disclosed here by the officials who
are cognizant of them.
Strategists Differ
There is just an indication that
the difference of opinion between the
two schools of strategists might have
had a reflection in the recent Brit
ish crisis, in which General Maurice
differing with Premier Lloyd George
made a public announcement which
led to his retirement.
The one thing that seems certain
however, is that the business OF
rushing American troops to Europe
viii be pressed rather than retarded
and that there will be a redoubline
of efforts to equip them with all the
necessary heavy artillery and other
engines of war to quickly bring the
ful strength of great army to the
battle front.
British Are Confident
Some officials in touch with the
progress of the draft have recently
predicted that every available man
in Class l would be called to the
colors during the summer. Roughly
this means more than e, 100000. in
addition to more than 100000 who
at the present rate of progress either
Will be in France, in camp in this

The confidence of the British mill
tary authorities that they can hold
their line until American aid ar.

such heavy toll of German life in
falling back that the actual advan-
tage always will be with the allied
armies. is very gratifying to military
! experts here.

COUNTY QUOTAS FIXED
FOR LIBERTY CAMPAIGN
Total Nearly Twice as Large
as in First Issue of
Bonds

ALBANY. Ga, April County Duo
tas for the third Liberty loan campaign
in the Fourteenth zone, of which Albany
is headquarters. have been fixed. The
figures were a great deal larger than
Chairman Edwin Sterne and other work
ers had been expecting, but they wiz
work all the harder because of their
task having been made greater. The
basis for arriving at the quotas in this
drive is 10 per cent of the bank re
sources of the various counties, which
gave Dougherty county a much larger
quota than some of the more populous
counties in the zone. The total in the
zone is nearly twice as much as it was
in the last campaign, being $1,722,50O,
exclusive of Quitman county. which has
no bank and whose quota has not yet
been fixed.
Following are the quotas for the thir-
teen counties in the drive: Baker, SILL
200; Calhoun, s96.6oO; Clay. $1,000: De-
catUr, S265,000: Dougherty, s442,7O0

CHARGES GERMAN SPIES
WITH DAMAGING MASKS
Senator Thomas Says 1900
Out of 5000 Were Tam

WASHINGTON. April Charges
that German spies are interfering with
the manufacture of gas masks intended
for use in France were made in the sem
ate today by Senator Thomas, of Colo
RADIO, who declared that in one factory
$500 out of 1000 masks were found de-
fective. Even after the defective ones
had been discarded a number later were
found packed with those that had pass
ed inspection, he said.
Senator Thomas declared the masks
had been damaged by small perfora-
tons and asserted the work was done
by persons in the factory. He said this
is only a sample of the work that is be-
ing done by German agents in this coun-
try
Senator Thomas declared the United
States now faced a serious situation.
The German drive, he DECLARED. has not
ended.

that these labor conditions exist now or
is il only a coincidence the Colorado
senator asked referring to the reports

WOULD STOP SHIPPING OF
ROTTEN GRAIN into STATE
Government Inspection oil
Shipments Sought by P, A,
MethVin

Startling losses to Georgia grain deal
ers are revealed by T. A MethVin
chief state inspector under the food
ana drug act, in a statement that
he had asked the United States
Government TO take steps for the pro-
lection OF the state from the importa-
ton of quantities Of corn and corn meal
spoiled in transit.
For the last two weeks, said Mr..
Methvin, corn and corn meal from Mis-
souri,. Kansas and especially from Ten
ncsseo has been found spoiled when i,
was unlcaded. The meal is ground when
it is too moist and after being packed
and loaded in cars, the heat causes 1t
to solidify and rot.
Mr.. Methvin cited Instances in Au-
gusta where from $4,000 to $4,000
worth of grain has been a total loss TO
the consignees, and in less than three
days up to last Saturday. he said, At
lanta dealers have lost from $4,000 to
$50 900 worth of grain.
Mr. Methvin said on Monday "A local
merchant received from Chattanooga,
Tenn. and Dechcrd, Tenn, $50 bushels
Of meal in one shipment, 1000 bush
els in another and zoo bushels in an
other. All three shipments were spoiled
This discovery was made in only one
afternoon by single inspector.
M Methvin estimates that the loss
to the state so far has been At least
$500, 900. This meal must be kept off
tho market wherever possible, and there
is no WY Al present 70 do it, said Mr.
Methvin, except 10 condemn the ship
ments and let the loss fall on the dealer
to whom they are shipped.
Mr.. Methvin has taken the matter up
with the national government. request
ing =. q. Frank. recently appointed
United States grain supervisor, to de-
tail a force Of his men to Georgia TO
make destination inspections.
At present the grain is inspected at
the point OF origin. II takes from ten
days to two weeks for a shipment to
go from one point to another, and in
this time the grain generally rots. Mr..
Methvin wants the grain inspected by
| the government on it's arrival at its des-
t:nation so that IL it has spoiled en-
route the loss will not fall on the state.
In this way. he believes. the shipping of
rotten grain into Georgia can be
stopped.
