GRAND STAND PLAY
DOES NOT APPEAL
TO GENERAL FOCH
viii Not be Tricked Into Major
Offensive Operations Before
Americas Strength Can Be
Fully Utilized
By ]. w. T. MASON

NEW YORK, July 24-General Foch
still continues his strategy of caution
instead of adopting the German strate-
gy of slaughter. The war will not be
won in the Aisne-Marne salient. There
fore. General Foch is determined not to
be lured into major operations to satisfy
the eager expectations Of spectators at
home. The dominant factor in the pres.
ent situation between the Aisne and
the Marine is that the Germans are
eager TO inveigle the allies into engag-
ing in a great major offensive before
Americas strength is fully ready. while
General FOch is resolved not to make
this mistake. 1t is. therefore. we'll within
the limits of Won Ludendorff's strategy
for great numbers of German reserves
to be assembled south of the Aisne.
These reserves are capable of forcing
on General Foch a large death toll for
moderate gains.
Instead of accepting so crude a chal-
ienge, General Foch is holding back, pa
tiently awaiting for Americas next mill
lion to arrive before striking with his
matured power.
The present operations have immense
ly improved the Franco-American line
defending the roadways to Paris. To
persist in heavy sacrifice of life for sec
ondary advantages would be spectacular,
but would not be sound strategy. If the
losses are to come, ii is far better that
they should occur next autumn or next
spring. pushing the battle front over
the Lorraine border far into Germany.
The Rhine, not the Aisne, is the place
to end the war. Furthermore, an Ameri-
can advance toward the Rhine would
compel Won Ludendorf to withdraw
from the Aisne-Marne salient or else
where along the west front so that by
shortening his lines he might defend
German territory. Foch is losing no
tricks between the Aisne and the Marine.
War can't be played as fast as base
ball

HOOVER IS OPTIMISTIC
OVER FOOD SITUATION
ellis Allied Food Controllers
U-BoatS No Longer Threat
en- Supply

LONDON. July 23.-Herbert Hoover,
United States food administrator. told
the allied food controllers here today
that the corner in food production and
supply had been turned. There is no
longer anything to fear from the Ger
man U-boats, he declared. In his adj
dress, delivered at a luncheon at the
mansion house, he said:
The submarine menace no longer
threatens the food supply. We have
turned the corner at last.
During the last twelve months the
United States has exported 100000
tons of foodstuffs to the allies During
the next twelve months, with less
pressure, we can export 21,000,00O tons,
including 5000 tons from Canada.
I'VE have built enough ships to ham
die food for the soldiers.
THE United States pork output alone
will supply meat for the allies.
In contrast to this hunger is the
dominating factor with the enemy. They
have been unable to produce the needs.
Starvation rings in the words of the So
called German victory
The conquered people are being slow
ly but surely starved. Their losses of
lives through malnutrition and starva-
ton during the next harvest probably
will be larger than all the casualties of
the west front"
Hoover read the following message
from President Wilson:
The American people will gladly and
willingly make any sacrifice in their
consumption and production of food
stuffs to maintain the healthy comfort
and the courage of the allied peoples
We are in fact eating at a common
table with them"

Hardwick Given Courteous
Hearing During Address
In Dawson Courthouse

DAWSON, Ga, July Ex-senator

audience filled the courthouse, there be-
ing about 900 persons present. The SEN

win, one of his supporters in this
county.
The first thing the senator did was
to declare that the newspapers in Geor-
gia had deliberately blackened his char
acter, and denounced them as common
liars.
Senator Hardwick stated that he had
not supported President Wilson in all
of his measures, as the president was
so changeable that he did not occupy
one position long enough for him to stay
with him. That in explaining this to
one of his supporters he advised him to
have the president lassoed and tied up
so that he would be able to know where
the president stood.
The senator spoke for perhaps two
hours and was given a courteous hear
ing. When he made his points he was
accorded some applause. which at no
time was very liberal. His strength IN
Terrell county is incOnsiderable, but the
people here always accord all public
speakers of any prominence cordial
hearing.
