WILSON LANDS
SHREWD BLOW
AT FOE MORALE
Diplomats Agreed Teutonic
Masses viii Be Inspired
by Address.

President Wilson yesterday planted
the most shrewdiy calculated blow
that the diplomacy of the world war
has yet seen. This is the opinion In
vell-informed diplomatic circles.
1T Is the equivalent Of a great VIC
tory on the battlefield" IL the way
one high French oficial spoke OF the
Presidents utterance. -
There Is little disposition among
French, English or Italian diplomats
to believe that the Presidents speech
will have any direct and immediate
effect In separating Austria from Ger
many or overthroving the present
German government But the speech
Is counted upon by our allies to min
lister to the deep psychological dis
content within the Teuton empires.
OF which the recent German and Aus
trian strikes were an outward and
Incidental manifestation. i.,---. --.
when saerinees Grow.
when the German people are asked
to bear the losses of more millions Of
men during the summer fighting,
said a British ofiicial. these words Of
President Wilson'S will make plain
to them that they are making these
sacrifices only for the MISGUIDED am
billions OF their despotie ruling
classes" --.-
1t is-at that time that the first real
move for peace Is expected to come
from the other side OF the battle hne.
II Is admitted that there will be
some adverse comment on the Presi-
dents speech in certain British and
French quarters. Diplomats who
heard the speech were at first frankly
shocked at what they conceived to, be
the abandonment Of the Presidents $
fourteen points, laid down in his
speech OF January s. Later in the
day, however. these same men, real
lied that yesterdays speech was not
an abandonment-o of the fourteen points
mentioned, but their condensation in
to the general terms which Count
GZernin essayed to use In his speech.
The distinction which the President
makes between Czernin and Herthns
is commented upon as forcefully bring
ing out the fact that the Austrian
Premier has been false. to no mani
festation Of the will of his people, as
has been the German government in
its neglect OF the Reichstas peace
resolution OF July 1s.
Italians slow to Comment.
Considerable unwillingnsss to com
ment upon the speech was evidenced
in Italian circles. The prospect Of a
separate peace with Austria at this
time Is frankly not one which the
ItalianS contemplate with gladness.
Austria holds too much Italian ter
ritory. This much, however. was said
by a man in close touch with the
Italian Embassy:
"AH Italy wants is a settlement on
a basis OF justice. The President GER
tainly makes that clear. His ad-
herence to this basis Of peace will be
gladly hailed throughout Italy. But
we fear that II Is a basis that can
not be reached until after our en-
emfes have been thrashed-"
Most diplomats took such view
carly in the day and were frank to
say that they did not believe the
time ripe for opening peace negotia-
tions.. so far as the entente Is con-
cerned. Later they realized that the
speech would have a far more impor-
tant effect within Germany and Aus
tria than It was designed to have
upon allied opinion or action.

At the very outset Of his speech
the President took occasion to deny

County Council Meeting.

On Saturday, February 9th, 1918, in
court room in Macon, the first meeting
of the County Council or Home Econom-
ic committee was held.
The meeting was called to order by
Mrs. Tyndall, chairman, after prayer
by Rev. P. c. Barley. The object of
the meeting was to make plans 20 assist
the country in every way possible in
conserving the foods of the nation.
This does not mean to stint the tables
but to put into Use foods that have here
tofore been wasted. Plans we're made
for a Community Kitchen. which will
be held in the Red Cross room in Ma
con. We hope to have our first demon
stration on Saturday, February %. and
every club girl in the county is requested
to be present. The demonstration is
held on Saturday for their benefit. A
monthly contest will probably be held.
TO EXTERMINATE RATS AND MICE.
A campaign to exterminate rats aud
mice in the county will shortly be held
and every mar who is interested in the
progress of the county will be requested
to cooperate.
Miss Victoria Hill of Tupelo, district
Home Economic agent, made a talk on
"How a County Council Can Make the
Work a Success Many valuable sug-
gestions were given. and she explained
IN a manner easily understood why this
move was necessary. Mrs, Tyndall
asked for other suggestions and some
n suggested a Sale Day" but the
majority thought this not practical for
this county. A Junior Council was also
suggested for the girls, as it was
thought they would be more Interested
to have their own than be members of
the woman's council.
The following department committees
were appointed:

Finance-Mrs. P. C. Barley. Mrs. p.

get more for their skinned milk
by selling it as cottage cheese than
the same amount of skinned milk

Cottage Cheese a War Food


10 lr TO our soldiers and those OF
our allies that we must lock to
win the war for humanity. We
know that they are going to defend
our homes in a heroic manner, and
our debt to them can never be re
paid. They are deliberately sub
jecting their lives to great danger
in order that we may enjoy free.
dom, peace and prosperity, We
should not begrudge the compare
lively small sacrifices we can make
to help them.
We can help our soldiers and
those Of our allies to win the war
for us by eating as little as posi-
bic Of those foods that can be
readily exported and send such as
sugar, wheat, meat and fats, and
by replacing these foods in our
own diet by other more perishable
and bulky foods such as potatoes,
cor meal, other vegetables, mo
@lasscs, honey, oatmeal, soy beans,
peas, fish, chicken, rabbits. milk,
cottage cheese, cotton seed oil and
many other things.
OF all these foods cottage cheese
is probably the one with which
the readers are least familiar, and
yet it is easy to make and is a very
nutritious food. The American
people have always been governed
by their taste in selecting their
foods rather than by the value of
the n0urishmcnt which is con.
tanned in the food. Eighty per
cent of the corn crop is fed to
stock and only ten per cent is used
as human food; yet corn meal is
more nutritious than flour. Like
corn meal, potatoes and other veg.
etables will also supply the same
kind of food which we get in
wheat flour. Peas, beans, whole
and skinned milk. cottage cheese
and fish will supply the same kind
of food that we get in meat, and,
from he standpoint of eating food
that is good for us and that which
will make us strong and healthy,
we can be just as well pourished
and can get along perfectly without
eating any flour, meat or sugar.
1t is not many hundred years since
was discovered, and if PEG.
pie lived without it before then, it
is possible to live without it now.
is nourishing, but we can
get the same kind of nourishment
such foods as corn meal and
vegetables, although they taste
much different. Fats supply a,
food which is very similar to that
contained in corn meal and vegeta.
bles, and can be replaced by them;
the fact is, we would be a great
deal healthier if we used much
less fats. Many people eat so
much fat that they become bilious
and have indigetion. Butter and
cream, if eaten to excess, will
produce the same results. Cotton.
seed oil and other vegetable oils are
vegetable fats ana will replace ami.
NAL fats to a large extent. AS
previously stated, peas, beans and
milk products, except butter, will
replace meat since they contain
the same kind of food, the food
contained in them being the most
expensive kind protein. Most
people eat too much protein, al.
though if too little is eaten bad
health results. The grains, vegc.
table,, fats and sugar are the
"coal'' for the human body and
may replace each other as fuel, ex-
that if too much fat is eaten,
"clinkcrS' will form, which will
interfere with the proper use of
the food in the body. Protein
may be used as fuel, but it only
can be used to repair and rebuild

Mdcon's Boy Scouts.

The Boy Scouts of America ore being
called upon today for a definite wal
work. They have responded over the
whole country, and all loyal Americans
are proud of their record. Prcsidcn,
Wilson himself said recently, "Any-
thing that is done to increase the war
efficiency Of the Boy Scouts of America
