My Dear Sir:
81 am deeply grateful to you for
the splendid cooperation extended me
as food administrator for Georgia
through the columns of your paper.
Had it not been for the valuable aid
and assistance which 1 have received
from the press 1 would have been able
to accomplish little in the interest
OF food conservation. Publicity is one
of the chief arms upon which we must
rely in making progress in our work.
The situation changes so rapidly so
many new conditions are constantly
entering into the work if this division,
that the press affords me the only
means of promptly acquainting the
PEOPLE with what they are expected
to do I, therefore, take this oppor-
tunity to express to you my sincere
thanks for the gratifying and efficient
manner in which you have aided and
promoted the welfare which I have
in charge for the time being.
with assurances of appreciation
and esteem, and with the hope and
belief that the food administration may
continue to enjoy your cooperation
and support in the future. am.

GERMANS START
 MALICIOUS LIES
 ABOUT SHIPYARDS

Washington, July 1S-German pro- paganda has been turned against the shipbuilding industry in a vain effort to stem the growing output of ships which are to carry men and munitions to Europe.
 Maliciously circulated statements to the effect that more men are being killed and injured in the construc- tion of ships than in the trenches in France were denied officially last night by the Shipping Board. In the Hog Island yard, which was said to be a fair example of what has been ac- complished by the boards accident prevention work, the accident rate in May was only six in a thousand men. as compared with the pre-war average of 21 8-1o reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
 Two departments have been created for special work in safeguarding the lives and health of shipyard work CTS, and men are encouraged to re- port even the slightest scratch for treatment so there may be no dan ger of infection.
 The rate of accidents is constantly decreasing" said an official state ment, "and 1t is confidently predicted that within the next few months the shipyards will be showing a lower rate than the most favored private ins dustrial institutions"
