THIS is DEFIANT ANSWER OF
AMERICAN NAVY TO SUBMARINE
CHALLENGE-TR WILL he
SENT OVER REGULARLY

WASHINGTON, D. c., June s.
The great duty of the American navy
is TO keep the doors open to France,
so that men, supplies and food for cur
allies can be sent across. That is the
great task that will be accomplished
successfully and at all hazords
This was Secretary Daniels chal-
lenge to Germany today, apropos of
her efforts to intimidate the United
States by hurling uboats against the
American coast. He let it be known
especially that the American navy will
not be diverted from its main task by
this foray.
Further evidence of the scorn with
which America views the German
u-boat extravaganza was shown today
when Secretary McAdoo announced a
reduction in the insurance rate on
master officers and crews of merchant
vessels crossing the war zone.
The armament of coastwise vessels
as a result of the d-boats operations
off American shores is underway, how
ever.

GRASS PLANTING AT AVIATION
CAMP AT AN END, AND MANY
HOUSEWIVES CAN GET THEIR
OLD COOKS BACK.

Therell be a surplus of washer
women and cooks after tomorrow.
For about $50 negro women, now
employed at the aviation camp plant
ing Bermuda grass for $165 per day
will be discharged, their employment
being at an end.
This will be welcome news to many
housewives, who have been witho
cooks or washer-women, some with
out both, for many weeks. The en-
ployment of the women at scale OF
prices hitherto unknown here has de-
moralized labor conditions for some
time, and has made a cook or wash
er-woman almost as rare as jewels.
Lieut.. Roche, who has had the grass
planting in supervision says that the
wor kis now practically finished. Sew
c-al hundred acres were planted.

EXCESS TOLLS BY
M|LLERS CHARGED
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR INVESTI-
GATES COMPLAINTS THAT GRIST
MILLS ARE CHARGING AN EX-
CESS OIL.

At least two grist mills in the county
have been reported to the food admin
istrator for charging an excess toll,
and it is probable that action will be
taken against them.
The law of Georgia is that miller
may take one-eighth as his toll for
grinding corn, and no more, and thar
fer charging an excess he may be re
ruired to pay a fine of twenty dollars
to the person he over-chargea
A number of persons complained To
the county food administrator that
they were being charged an unlawful
toll. and an investigation proved that
taey we've telling the truth. If they
prosecute the cases, the millers will
be fined

MILK SITUATION
HERE RESUL IS IN
MANY COMPL ITS
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR SAYS HE
WILL NOT SANCTION INCREASE
IN PRICE UNLESS THERE is I'M
MEDIATE IMPROVEMENT.

AS the result of scores of complaints
registered with the food administrator
today and yesterday regarding the
milk situation in Americus, confer
ence was held today between Franc
Mangum, food administrator, and DR..
R, L. Dessausaure, city and county
health officer
Mr.. Mangum recently approved an
increase of three cents a quart in the
price Of milk as the result of the in
stitution of the pastuerization process
here However, he has been consider
ing the advisability of revoking this
order, for the reason that the milk as
pastuerized has been very unsatisfac-
tory
AS the result of the conference to-
day, it developed that DR.. Dessaussure
has wired to Macon for a government
milk expert to come here and inspect
the pastuerization plant, which is be-
ing operated by Eugene Cato, and
which is handling practically the en-
tire milk supply for Americus. DR..
Peter F. Bahnsen, state veterinarian,
who has had considerable experience
in dairying, inspected the place an
the system today at the request of Or.
Dessaussure, and pronounced both all
right.
DR.. Dessaussure agreed today to the
sale Of buttermilk without requiring it
to be pastuerized. He also agreed te
the sale of raw sweet milk for the use
Of infants or sick persons who could
not, or would not, use th2 rastuerized
milk.
The chief complaints against the
pastuerized milk is that the taste was
unpalatable, and that it soured after
sitting several hours, even when in a
refrigerator.
The food administrator stated that
unless there was an immediate i'm
provement in the milk situation, he
would refuse to further sanction the
increase of three cents a quart, which
was brought about by the government
order for pastuerization.
