SOUTHEAST PORTS
TO BE DEVELOPED
BY McADOO SCHEME
Director General of Railroads
Would Expend Upwards of
Fifty Millions in Increasing
Terminal Facilities
ny RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. 3.-In
line with his purpose to develop the
ports oil the southeast, William Il. Nc
Adoo, director general of railroads, has
ordered surveys to be made of the
transportation facilities of Savannah,
Brunswick, Charleston, Jacksonville.
Wilmington, Galveston, New Orleans
and Mobile. Engineers have been di-
rected to proceed Immediately to these
cities and report at the earliest posi-
BILE time the improvements that will be
required.
VIII lie no definite statement will be
made ~ MIR. McAd doc, pending the in
vestigaliOn by the engineering experts,
il is regarded as certain that upwards
of fifty 'aillion dollars will be eXpend-
ed in the southeast by the director
general in undermining the ports.
Pending the enlargement of the rail-
road and wharfage facilities of the
southeastern ports, Director McAdoo
proposes to utilize the present facili-
ties to the extent of their capacity. AS
heretofore announced, he has arranged
for a diversion of much traffic to Sa-
vannah, Charleston, Brunswick, Calves
ton, Jacksonville and New Orleans.
1t is believed that Savannah, Charles
ton and Brunswick with their present
facilities, are equipped to handle a
large part of the pig iron, cotton and
lumber from the south and southeast
that heretofore has moved by rail tO
the northeast, while grain and grain
products will be diverted to the ports
of New Orleons and Galveston.

.GEORGIA'S RAPID GROWTH
IN LIVE STOCK IS SHOWN
White Provision Company Paid
Out $4,000 to Farmers
of State in 1917

Georgias rapid growth in the live
stock industry is shown by the fact
that White Provision company, of At
lanta. bought more than $750,000 worth
of hogs and cattle from Georgia farm
ers in 1917, as shown by reports to the
stockholders at their annual meeting
Tuesday. During 1917 the company
slaughtered 10000 hogs and cattle. and
10000 of that number came from Geor-
gia, while the others came from Geor-
gia's neighbors, Alabama and Tennes-
see.
Ten years ago, when White Provision
company was starting, a few hogs were
killed in Georgia in cold weather for
local use. few beef cattle were like
wise slaughtered by local butchers. To-
day a steady stream of money is flow
ing from White Provision company
and other southern packing houses to
Georgia farmers in payment for fine
hogs and cattle which they are raising
on a large scale. and the proceeds Of
which are equivalent to velvet" mas
much as cotton has not been reduced.
White Provision company's sales in
1917, it was further reported to the
directors, exceeded S1,50000O. Its pay
roll was more than $4,000. 1t pur-
chased $4,000 worth of wooden boxes
from an Atlanta factory; thousands of
yards of cotton cloth from an Atlanta
mill for wrapping hams n bacon,
thousands of tin pals from an Atlanta
branch factory for packing lard; four
carloads of pasteboard cartons from an
Atlanta factory for packing Cornfeld
wieners; fifteen carloads of hickory
wood from farmers near Atlanta for
smoking wieners and ham. 1t believes
in patronizing home people.
Directors of the company were re-
elected, as follows: F. G. Wilkerson,
w. L. Newborn and E. S. Papy, of At
lanta; ]. H. Allison, Chattanooga; A. N.
Brown, McDonough, Ga. Following the
stockholders meeting the directors met
and declared an per cent dividend, in
creased the company's surplus and
elected officers as follows: w. H. White
Jr., president; NJ. L. Newborn, vi C e
president; E. S. Papy, vice president;

NEW ALLIED BLOW
Macedonian Front Dispatches
to Washington Indicate
Fresh Drive. to Break the
KaiSerIS Backbone

WASHINGTON, Feb. Fighting on
the Saloniki front. where the allies
hope to break the kaiser's backbone the
coming spring. has begun, according to
Macedonian front war dispatches re-
ceived in Washington today.
Serbian British and French troops, in
the Vardar valley. are operating west
OF. Lake Dorian and the Mount Dobro-
pOlya positions held by the Bulgars and
have made advances in the vicinity of
Sores, reports state. The allied forces
at Afonastir have also started activities
against the Austrians and Bulgars and
determined offensive will get under
way from this base early i'm the spring,
military critics here believe.
The appointment of General Guilli-
anne to succeed General Sarrail. presaged
year of activity in the Balkans, mill
tary officials declare. Guilliame has a
reputation Of being restless, aggressive
and a good campaigner. Had the en-
tente intended to simply sit tight. hold
Saloniki and protect Britain's route 20
India. Sarrail or some other defensive
general would have been placed in
charge of that vital base. critics point
ed out today.
With the allies in the west taxing
Germany's utmost defensive strength
with a reconstruction of the Italian Of
fensive. and with the British in Pales-
tine and Mesopotamia making inroads
into Turkish territory, the central en-
pires face great obstacles the coming
year, high allied military authorities de-
clare.
With the policy of coordination
which the entente has adopted. the kai-
ser will be unable TO shift his demon
allied forces from one front to the
other to halt the advancing offensives
they believe.
The Saloniki front is not going to
be one of secondary Importance" "a
Balkan military expert declared today
'On no other front will such immense
and far reaching results accrue from
a successful offensive. Cut the Ber-
Iin-Bagdad railway and Germany S
backbone is broken. Shut the subma-
rine from the Belgian coast and her
sea power is gone. Both are necessary
and both will be done before another
year is gone
The morale of the Balkan and AsiatiC
allies of the central powers is weaken
ing official information indicates. The
RuIgars. who long since accomplished
their war aims hove been deserving by
scores and are chafing under the Ger
man military rule.
sGermany's draining of Turkey and
Bulgaria of supplies and in return CIV

change and both Bulgaria and Turkey
will quit Open the Dardanelles and
south Russia will be on her feet again

Greece's mobilization of troops for
active service, announced today and
Poumania's decision to hold out against
overwhelming odds, is also indicative
that trouble for the kaiser is brewing

Exchange of Corn for
Flour Plan Announced

Food Administrator a. Nj. Soule has
issued a special order making provision
for the acceptance by merchants from
farmers of corn in exchange for wheat
flour, that farmers who produced their
own corn crops may participate in the
victory or "fifty-ffty" plan for the
distribution of flour
The order follows:
THE retail merchant is authorized at
his discretion to accept from the pro-
Queer ffty-siX pounds of shelled corn
or seventy pounds of ear corn in mer-
charitable condition and suitable for hui
man food in exchange for twenty-four
pounds of wheat flour without the pur-
chase of other cereals, with such diff
ferential in favor of the producer to be
paid in cash as may be mutually agreed
upon by the parties, provided the price
on which the -four is based in making
this exchange does not in any event net
to the retail dealer more than a profit
of 81 a barrel over the cost of said
flour. and the quantity of flour ex-
changed with any one producer shall
not exceed ninety-siX pounds in any
one month.
This method of procedure is advised
and recognized by the federal food ad-
ministrator for Georgia as a means of
affording the producer an opportunity
of securing a moderate supply of flour
without working any undue hardship
and without obviating or setting aside
the frfty-fifty basis of sale of wheat
flour and other cereals, established by
the United States food administration,
except herein authorized.
THE above ruling shall in no sense
be considered as applicable to consum-
ers who have on hand flour in quanti-
ties sufficient for their normal require
ments for a period of thirty days"

! at that time which shows "the natural
confines of Italy" The new frontier

mated Italy's politicians seemed to the
patriotic observers in fair way to be
realized
The masters of French and British
strategy saw that the moment had come
for a dashing offensive into Austria.
It has always been known that Austria
was the weaker sister of the central pair.
They sent men and guns TO reinforce
Cadornas forces. Then came a warning
which some one in the allied councils
should have been wise enough to profit
by.

Are your positions safe? ne was
asked. =,
"What we have held we can keep"
was his reply.
So that some portion of the French
and British guns were withdrawn for
use elsewhere. There came rumor
TO Rome one day that conditions were
not satisfactory at the front General
Cadorna had visited Rome. The pub
lie thought he had come to talk high

through parliament:

when he made his Statements part Of

at the Tolmine bridgehead and let the
Germans through. retreat became a
rout. The Second army was captured al
most without firing shot. OF the
ESQ 900 lost it is reported that only 5000
were killed.
A large part of the winter equip
ment of the Italian forces was taken
mules. blankets food, 90, 900 hospital
beds, rifles, shells-all the impedimenta
| of any army which is to be valued
not by dollars but by lives. Complete
DISCRIMINATION reigned. A new line
was established fifty miles and more
| in places in the rear of the front which
had been gained at such cost.
The enemy established himself within
eight miles of Venice, and the destruc-
| ton of this world-jewel was only pre-
vented by the tacit convention that it
was not to be defended. Headquarters

APPROACHING MEAT
SHORTAGE IN STATE
FORECAST BY SOULE
State Food Administrator De-
CIareS 1t Will Be Felt in
About a Week or Ten
Days

DR.. A. NJ. Soule, federal food admin
istrator for Georgia, Friday issued
cautionary warning of an approaching
temporary fresh meat shortage. The
shortage, it is announced, will be felt
in about a week or ten days.
Conservation will have to be prac-
tsed and substitutes must be made to
take the place of fresh meats" DIR.
Soule stated. Fish can we'll be used in
place of much of the meat we have
been consuming.
In meeting the condition, Atlanta
housewives are fortunate in that there
is an aboundant supply of Spanish
mackerel on the Atlanta market at this
time, and that heavy catches are be-
ing made. This grade of fish, selected,
should sell in Atlanta at s5 cents per
pound, and is one of the best available
meat substitutes"
On official information from Wash
ington DIR. Soule has issued notice to
local administrators in Georgia of the
expected meat shortage and has given,
it is announced, positive direction that
there must be no increase in prices be-
cause of the scarcity.
The shortage expected is attributed
not to the lack of livestock but to diff
ficulty in transporting the meat.
While the normal tendency under
such conditions would be to advance the
prices to retailers and consumers out
of line with cost of production, the
food administration has instructed meat
packers not to sell at prices represent
ing more than normal average margin
above cost and to distribute such meat
as is available fairly among customers
1t is also announced that the food
administrator will direct packers and

is not expected that prices will be in
creased, unless-conditions in some states
are Such that they actually increase the
cost of production.
