Tobacco Users Eat Less

I The use of tobacco by our troops in
the trenches plays no small part In the
conservation of food, say marine corps
officials, who estimate that from 25 to
80 per cent of food is saved daily in
this manner.
While authorities admit the deteri-
mental influence of narcotics, they as
sert that tobacco relieves the nervous
tension of soldiers who are under con-
tinual shell fire.
Early in the war" declared q ma.
rine officer, "the French discovered
that men who smoke eat considerably
less food. and only recently the British
food controller issued the statement,
The British troops in the trenches
must have tobacco or much more
food. "

RETURNED SOLDIERS
GET INTO POLITICS

( Atlanta, Ga.-The next state elect
ion i'll Georgia undoubtedly will be
controlled to large extent by the
soldiers returning from the war. In
the two years that will elapse between
now and the 1920 election, it is prob
able that all of the American troops
now in France will have been returned
70 this country and mustered out of
the service. Thousands Of men who
are now in reconstruction hospitals,
learning trades that will fit them for
useful citizenship in spite of their dis
sblement, will by that time return to
their homes and civil pursuits.
In this connection it is believed by
some farseeing politicians that the
prohibition issue may be brought up
again when the soldiers return. This
10 not meant as an intimation that
the soldiers will come back as drink
ers. The idea is based upon the fact
that the sale of mild intoxicants, such
as wine and beer, is still permitted in
France and England, and Americans
in those countries will have an oppor-
tunity OF observing the effect of this
type of temperance prohibition.

LAWS FOR AVIATORS
ARE NOW DISCUSSED

Atlanta, Ga.-Laws to regulate the
licensing of aviators to fly airplanes,
and to regulate the movement of air
machines back and forth over the
state, may be enacted by the Georgia
Legislature at the next session, unless
the national congress in the mean
time takes over the legislation on the
subject
Now that the war is over, thousands
of men who were trained in aviation
for military purposes will have moth
ing to do, unless they go into the
great Air Mail Service which the Post
Office Department is planning to es-
tablish. Blu there will be great many
who return to civil life, and all who
are financially able to afford airp1nes
will undoubtedly buy them for sport
and diversion.
The manufacturers who equipped
themselves to turn out hundreds OF
machines for the use of the govern
ment in time of war will now un-
doubtedly go into the market to Gre
ate popular demand for airplanes for
private use. Other states are already
considering the subject of sky pilot
laws and licenses, and Georgia will
have something along this line to keep
abreast of the times:

CAMP GORDON WILL BE
MADE PERMANENT CAMP

Atlanta, Ga, Nov 30-That the
government is planning to make
Camp Gordon near this city perma-
nent camp for an army of some 30
COO to 10000 men after the was was
unotflcially announced here yesterday
at a gathering of business men.
In connection with this program the
government now has under consider
alton a plan to train discharged SOL
diers in practical farming before they
are actually mustered out of the serv-
ice. Some 500 acres adjoining Camp
Gordon have already been secured by
the government, and another 200
acres will be purchased.
This agricultural training is a part
OF the governments general program
of supplying every discharged soldier
with job when he leaves the service.
The idea Of encouraging them to To-
cate on farms, which some have sug-
gested the government ought to sell
to them on installments, appears to be
taking de6aife shape IN the Mar4Dr-
partmcns's schedule Of demobliza.

SOLDIERS FROM SOUTHERN

Atlanta, Ga, Nov 30-Mayor Can
der of this city and other prominent
citizens have been invited to join in
a movement for Southern soldiers
returning from Europe to be landed
at the port of Savannah instead of the
various eastern ports that were used
in sending them across.
1t is claimed by Savannah that the
voyage from France will be practical-
ly the same SO far as distance goes as
the voyage to eastern seaports, while
the distance to be travelled by South
ern soldiers on arriving in Savannah
would be great deal shorter. Sa-
vannah proposes to have them well
coined with a great celebration in

pate.

HON. WILLIAM D.

At dinner in the home of Mr. and

ing his entire illness. Saturday DR..

to be shown by patriotic cooperation
OF the churches schools and organiLa-
tons why we must continue to con-
serve food for time lnoger, it will
be especially illuminating to Geor-
gians to take them into confidence and
give them the benefit of Letter just
received by DR.. Andrew M. Soule from
the administration in Washington.
1t answers in very definite way
who is going to be fed of the starving
ones OF Europe-and it is not Ger
many. The letter is as follows:
Washington, D. c., Nov. II, 1918.
Judging from our experience here
you are probably more or less delug-
ed with questions on the subject of
feeding Germany.
| do not believe it is wise to allow
sur conservation effort to be diverted
from its task by discussion which is
bound to be more or less irrelevant
within very short time. Apparently
from all the plans which have been
made, Germany will be fed by econo-
mic measures which only contemplate
the raising of few embargo and ship
ping barriers. Our great task is to feed
the liberated peoples of Europe, par
tlcularly what may be termed the
fringe of starvation recently or pres
emily to be released by the retreating
German armies.
Il do not believe that any better re-
ply to these questions could possibly
be framed than that contained in the
statement which Mr.. Hoover made
as he was sailing from New York to
undertake his big work on, the other
side. | hope you will use it in regard
to the question of feeding Germany
or any replies you may make to let
tiers which criticise the Food Admin
istration for having any part in this
work.
Nothing that any one else says or
guesses can change the situation and
until the Chief cables some other word
we expect to stand pat on this dec
laration. This is the defined attitude
of the Food Administration.
Our big program is world relief
and | do not believe we need to de-
hne too closely this status of the peo-
pc entitled 4oAour all.
You will note that much of the dis
cussion is based on reports from CO.

many is music to your ears, but |
think we can take it in silence, as ev-
cry day this noise from our late enc
mics provides more and more proof
of the fact that they were soundly
licked, and if | judge the opinion OF
this country rightly, there will be lit
tie objection to the final feeling of
Germany after our friends are cared
for.
You may be interested to know
that reports received in this Office in
dlcate that our poster and outdoor
sign campaign is progressing so ia
vorably that there is little question
but that tangible evidence of our
world relief week will be in sight on
the dates set. The other mediums
thanks to your splendid cooperation
are working smoothly, and it now
looks as though, in spite of the short
time in which we had to prepare, ev-
erything will be ready for the big eff
fort the first week in December"
What Hoover Said
Outlining just what appeared to be
in prospect as a general plan Mr..
Hoover said, in the statement referred
to:
Our first and deepest concern now
must be for the little Allies who were
under the German yoke-they are the
Belgians, Serbians, Roumanians, Jugo-
Slavs, Zechs and Greeks and others.
There are some 75,000,000 people in
these groups and they must be sys-
tenatically helped and at once. We
have already doubled the stream of
flood flowing toward Belgium.
Our next concern must be to re-
lax blockade measures as far as pos
sible in order that the neutral states in
Europe who are now all on short ra-
tons, should be able to take care of
their people and prevent the growth
of anarchy. This is another group of
about 100000.
Another problem lies in the 50,O00,-
600 people in north Russia, a large
part of whom are inaccessible owing
to the breakdown of transportation
and through sheer anarchy. Millions
of these are beyond help this winter.
These groups are the ones that must
enlist the sympathy of the American
people and for whom We are prepared
to make any necessary sacrifice.
There is a great problem in the
situation of the enemy people, about
10000. This problem is not one of
going to their relief 1t is problem
of relaxing the watertight blockade
which continues through the armistice,
sufficiently SO that they may secure
for themselves the bar necessities
taht will give stable government"
