OR. SOULE MADE
ADDRESS To BIC
AUDIENCE IN
CITY TO-DAY

Every seat was taken in the large
auditorium Of the Opera House, the
gallery packed and many turned
away, when L. 0. Tisdel acting chair
man for the food conservation meet
ing opened the big meeting at the
Opera House, presenting Rev. L. A.
Hill for the invocation and introduc-
ing the new secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce, Mr.. F. Y. Clark, who
arose to introduce the speaker Of
the day, DR.. Andrew NJ. Souie,
Federal food administrator for Geor-
gia Mr.. Clark, who himself is a new
arrival in the city and only slightly
known to many of the audience, made
a strong appeal for patriotic cooper
alton with each of the departments
OF the government; in the production
of food as well as conservation.
Nail flag to yourspIow and over
your desk, as we'll, and work for our
country as you'd fight for it," is the.
spirit with which every loyal citizen
must discharge the duties that evolve
upon us in these times. To better
understand these helpful means of
cooperation, the Food Administra-
ton and the County Council of De-
Tense have invited and DR.. Soule has
accepted this opportunity to address
you.
Dir, Soule, who for the first time
faced a Fitzgerald audience, was.
greeted with tumultous applause as
he arose to begin his speech.
We are going through a great
crisis, rs country and as a people.
Nations are confronted with the dan
ger of humiliation and subjugation
by that fateful autocracy, the German
Empire. Small nations have already
succumbed to their forces, and at this
time a great struggle for decision
OF arms is going on in Northern
France.
1T is far distance between those
battlehelds in France and the fields
OF Georgia, but there is significant
connection in the fact that ii becomes
our duty to supply the necessary food
stuff to our allies across the seas, as
well as to our own soldiers fighting
on the bloody fields of France"

duction in Georgia and the United
States. assisted by prepared charts
which fully illustrated the salient
points to be made, DR.. Soulc enlight-

'quently interrupted by the enthusi-
asfic applause of the assembly
The meeting was largely attended
by farmers and their families and
many are viewing the war situation
from different angle, seeing the di-
rect interest that every man, woman
and child has in its successful prose-
cution, and what each may do to help.
Mr.. J. c. Brewer carried DR.. Soulc
to Cordele in his auto, where he is to
speak at 3 o'clock. Mr.. E. Y. Clark

Washington, D. c., March H.
American interest in the great battle
ct Picardy was very vital and per-
soaal today, as American troops, all
Pershing can spare, are on the front
line. Analgarnated with the French
and British, they are engaged near
Roye where attacks. of the Germans
are reported as strongest.
Experts and officials were closely
scrutinizing reports today received
from Pershing and Bliss. It is serious
but far from disaster is the official
characterized situation. Officials
pointed out that after several days
fighting the battle had now become
one of reserves.

be too severe. But how about
the baby killers" in this country?
Are they going to get what is
coming to them? The men respon-
sible for the rise in shoes to such
an extent that poor children had to
go with insufficient footwear until
they contracted disease are Just as
guilty as the Hun who run his
bayonet through a child and car
ried it around on his shoulder, Or
the fuel administrator who permit
ted the retailer to charge such an
exhorbitant price for the coal that
the woman who supported her
little ores by taking in washing
had to give up her work for the
want OF fuel and go without suffi-
cient food for herself and her
children, is just as guilty as the
Hun who dropped booms. on pri.

what superman the German had

he would stand up like man,
acknowledge that he had started

On the Range, Nov. 20, 1918.
Dear Papa:-Just few lines while l

been made sergeant of the guards for
last night and today while the guard
comes from our company. 1t is an
easy job for the present at camp. You
should see me out here walking from
post to post trying to slip something
over on the sentinel. If can get by
the guard he is out of luck. The officer
of the day is a dandy fellow, our second
lieutenant. l can really talk to him.
You know officers are not supposed to
talk to enlisted men except on official
business.
don't know whether or not told
you that am an acting sergeant. l
started out at Chicago an acting corpo-
raj and have been made an acting cor
poral at Camp Hancock and now in the
new 10th Provisional company at the
range am an acting sergeant. OF
course, ! am still private as far as
pay is concerned. but when it comes to
authority, have all the power of q
sergeant. My command is platoon,

bad; nothing that won't get we'll and

Well, the way things look now we

Gee, it seems quiet here after so
