s6,000,000,000 HEAVY
ORDNANCE FUND ASKED

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The war
department today asked congress for
an appropriate ton of approximately So
O00, zoe, 900 for heavy ordnance.
This is in addition to the estimates Of
SIS, 900 900, 900 placed before the house
military committee by Secretary Baker
last week The big ordnance estimate
was placed before the house appropria-
tions committee this morning by Brig
adler General John ID. Barrette, acting
chief of coast artillery, and from it the
fertilization bill will be framed.
General Barrette stated that because
of the long time required to build big
guns, most of those TO be built under
the next fiscal years appropriation can
not be delivered until one year after
the contract is let.
Need for heavy artillery is not press
ing Barrette said, because of the large
reserve supply of the allies, but the
United States must be ready when this

COTTON SEED FLOUR WILL
Be HOUSEHOLD COMMODITY
Fielding Wallace, at CruSherS'
Convention, DweIS on Its
Food Value

NEW ORLEANS, May 1S.-Cotton-
seed flour soon will become a house
hold commodity, Fielding Wallace. OF
Augusta. Ga, president of the Inter-
state Cottonseed Crushers' association,
declared today in his annual address at
the opening session here of the twenty
second annual convention of the asso-
citation. Mr. Wallace stated that the
cottonseed from one bale of cotton rep
resented in food value 207.5 pounds OF
hog lard and 1850 pounds of wheat
flour. and emphasizing the cotton crop
as a food source quoted Herbert G..
Hoover as having said that only for
cottonseed oil there would be a rat
famine in the world today.
The unusually large attendance at
this convention, which marks the close
of the administration of President Wal
lace, is a personal compliment to him
and an evidence of the tremendous In
terest in it's membership in the work
which this industry is doing in coop
Grafton with the government in winning
the war. President Wallace has spent
the major portion of the past year in
Washington where personally he car
ried the pledge of this convention, given
at Dallas last year, to put the entire
esources of the industry at the disposal
Of the government. How necessary the
fats supplied from cottonseed oil have
become is evidenced by the quotation
made in President Wallace's address
from Food Administrator Hoover, who
said: But for cottonseed oil there
would be a fat famine in the world
today 1t is generally conceded that
President Wallace's administration has
been one of the most successful if not
the most successful in the history OF
the association
Addresses of welcome were delivered
this morning by Mayor Behrmann of
this city, and also by Hon. J. J. Nc
Laughlin, of New Orleans. Response
on behalf of the association was made
by ]. j. Lawton, of Huntsville, S. c.
AS an evidence of the part being play
ed in feeding the world, Mr.. Lawton
declared that the cottonseed cruShers
were producing two hundred million
gallons of the purest vegetable oil in
the world; thousands of barrels of cot
tonseed flour; four billions, seven hun
dred and fifty million pounds of cot
tonseed meal for feeding work stock
which is releasing an equal amount or
corn and other grain for human con-
sumption. In conclusion, he said: mo
industry has given our government
more earnest cooperation and support
than this. Whenever called upon by
Mr.. Hoover's department to do anything
to aid him in carrying forward his
work, our association has responded
cheerfully."
President Wallace formally opened
the convention and presented Hon. John
NJ. Parker, of New Orleans. federal
food administrator for Louisiana, who
delivered an inspiring, patriotic ad-
dress.
Following the perfecting the conven-
ton, President Wallace delivered
resume of his administration.

Hoover Congratulates
Patriots Of Georgia
For Voluntary Saving

More than half the population of
Georgia adhered strictly last week to
Mr. Hoover's request for seven days OF
whaatIess eating and the net result of
the PATRIOTS response tothe food ad-
ministration's plea was the saving Of
l25O.OOO pounds of flour in Georgia
alone for the boys across the sea.
At the same time that the state food
administration officials made this heart
ening announcement Monday, the fol-
low telegram from Herbert Hoover to
Dr. Andrew Soule, federal food admin
istrator for Georgia, was made public.
Please express to the people of Geor-
gia my sincere appreciation of their pa
triotic action in the observance OF a
wheatless week. such wholehearted
response TO our request is most graft
tying and justified my confidence that
the American people will voluntarily
save sufficient food for our army and
the allies without ratiOning or other
ourdensOme regulations. 1 congratulate
you and your staff, and the state of
Georgia for the patriotism Of her peo-
pie.

Three Other Gordon Regi-
mentS Are Also in England

The Three Hundred and Twenty-fifth
regiment of infantry from Camp Gordon
has been reviewed by the king of Eng
land and has marched through the
streets of London between lines of
cheering thousands just as it marched
through the streets of Atlanta some
weeks ago.
This information is contained in an
Associated Press dispatch from Lon
don printed in The Journal today. Just
what regiments were included in the
review of American troops is not def
nitely stated, although it is known that
the Three Hundred and Twenty-fifth
was there, as London papers, it was
stated printed pictures of King George
and Colonel Walter NJ. whitman. com
mander of the regiment, standing side

1t is presumed that other Camp Cor

the parade, since word has been receiv-

HARRIS Says HOWARD
MADE FALSE STATEMENT
Declares H. H. Dean Is a Joke
and Says Howard De-
CeiVed President

William J. Harris. candidate for the
United States senate, gave out state
ment to the newspapers Monday re-
plying to the challenge. of Congress
man William Schley Howard, at
Wrightsville Saturday in which the lat
ter dared Mr.. Harris to tell the people
of Georgia who gave him that $4,000
check in Washington, ID. c., for his
campaign expenses"
This is a deliberate and malicious
falsehood and Mr. Howard must have
known it when he made the charge"
said Mr.. Harris. He could have as
certained that it was false had he de-
sired. 1t do not propose, at this time,
to further answer the many unfounded
false statements of this self-seeking
candidate until he answers the charges
of the Macon Telegraph. Why should
l undertake to answer false charges
made by a man who deliberately de-
ceives the president of the United States
and then undertakes to run for senator
upon false representations made to the
people of Georgian"
Referring to the entry of H. H. Dean,
of Gainesville, in the senate race, Mr..
Harris said this was a Joke"
at is not surprising that Dean should
be running around crying like a baby,
runs Mr.. Harris statement. 1T is not
surprising that no one will agree to a
joint debate with him, for they know
that the only way he can secure an
audience is to get some one to draw
the crowd for him. 1t is certainly anus
ing for any man to imagine that the
people of Georgia would send him to the
United States senate, when he was de-
feated by the people of his own town
for mayor by a Republican candidate.
1.-The candidacy of Mr.. Dean and Mr..
Howard will serve only to help Senator
Hardwick by dividing the loyal vote.
All candidates, including Senator Hard
wick. are making a desperate fight
against me. If they did not realize that
I am the choice of the loyal people and
a majority Of the people of Georgia
they would be fighting Senator Hard
wick"

Beside King at Review
Col. Whitman Stands

LONDON, May 13.-The American in
vasion of London is the feature of the
morning newspapers today. as it was
on Sunday. The most critical military
experts are loud in their praise of the
fine bearing of the American troops who
paraded through the British capital
Saturday. One writer sums up the gen.
eral opinion in this way:
They have the cut of an internally
adequate lot of fighters. 1 would rather
lead them than tackle them"
Newspaper articles are illustrated
with photographs of different stages
of the march, an important place being
given to the scene outside Buckingham
palace with King George standing be-
side Colonel Whitman and saluting the
American flag.
"On every judge of fighting man
hood" the Daily Telegraph says, the
American troops made the same i'm
preston. In physique and morale, they
are equal to the finest troops raised
by any country at the time when the
standard of European manpower stood
at its highest point"
The carrying through of the American
effort, tho Morning Post thinks, means
the turning of the scale against the
enemy. Germany, it says. never made
a more profound or more fatal mis-
calculation than when she held the
power of America TO be cheap The
kaiser and his advisers" says the
Times, have brought together the Eng
disappearing peoples more closely and
more rapidly than the fOndest dream
ers after more intimate relations be-
tween them had dared to hope. That
is an immense event in the history of
the old world and the new. 1t is the
greatest that has happened except that
war itself since the French revolu-
ton.
The lesson for England and America
is plain, and there is abundant PROOF
that both understand il. We have to
stick il out and the Americans have to
hurry up and they are hurrying up
splendidly.
Not one peace note has been heard
in congress. The only criticism breath
ed against the government consist OF
occa sional complaints that 1T does not
get on fast enough with the war. That
is the right temper for both sides OF
the Atlantic"

HOWARD ADDRESSES BIC
CROWD At WAYCROSS
By ED h. BRADLEY
Journal stan Correspoudeut

WAYCROSS, Ca, May 13.-Congress-
man William Schley Howard, of the
Fifth district of Georgia, candidate for
the United States senate to succeed
Thomas W. Hardwick. made the second
speech of his campaign here today.
He spoke at the courthouse during
the noon recess of the Ware superior
court, being greeted by an audience
which filed the courtroom to it's ca
pacity.
j. Dorsey Blalock, one of the most
prominent attorneys of this section, in
troduced the congressman, eulogizing
him for his uniformly successful rec
ord of public service and declaring him
to be the logical candidate to succeed
the present junior senator from Geor-
gia-
This was Mr.. Howa rd's initial appear
ance in south Georgia since his an
nouncement and his utterances were
awaited with considerable interest,
particularly in view of the fact that
w j. Harris opened his senatorial
campaign in this city and that Ware
county has ben considered more or less
of a stronghold of the Harris organiza-
ton, which has been established for
some weeks in this section.
The congressman followed to a con-
siderable degree the general trend of
his opening speech at WrlghtsVllle, on
Saturday, although he interpolated sew
eral new ideas and enlarged upon some
of the features he brought out in the
Johnson county city.
Purpose of Candidacy
II am in this race for the purpose of
preventing the disgracing of the peo-
pie of Georgia in the reelection of
Thomas w. Hardwick and also for the
purpose of seeing that they are not I'M
represented by William j. Harris" de-
clared MIR. Howard. 1T would be al
most as great A calamity for Georgia
TO be unrepresented as for her to be
misrepresented and were Mr.. Harris to
be chosen as the successor to the pres
ent junior senator, there is no question
but that the people of this great state
would be practically without repre-
sentative in the upper house of con-
gress."

Allies Improve Positions
Both in France and Italy

NEW YORK May 1S.-(SummAry Of
European Cables to The Associated
Press. Ut Is not two weeks since the
disastrous repulse north of Mont KEN
mel, and in that time the Germans
have gained hardly a foot either IN
Flanders or in Picardy. The French
and British, however have taken some
small and locally important positions
in limited attacks. the latest advance
having been made by the French north
of KENNEL village in the capture of
Hill A and an adjoining farm. 1t is
felt the Germans cannot delay their at
tacks in strength much longer and that
important sectors southwest of Ypres
and between Arras and the Somme will
soon resound again to the clash of
mighty battles. Meanwhile the oppos-
ing cannon are firing thousands Of
shells into and behind the hostile posi-
tions.
On the Italian front the fighting Is
becoming sharper with the Italians on
the offensive. After the successful OPP
Grafton on Monte Como, south of Asia
gom, the Italians have wiped out an
Austrian advance post on the impor-
tant height of Col Del Orso, between
the Brenta and the Piave. Austrian
patrol parties were repulsed north of
Lake Garda and along the line west Of
the Brenta.
Announcement that Emperor Charles
had gone to the front to witness the
start of a new offensive against the
Italians which has not developed, has
not improved internal conditions in the
dual monarchy and the existence Of
separate Austrian state is reported TO
be in danger. Baron Burian and The
emperor now have gone to German
great headquarters where, it is said,
the foreign minister will discuss plans
for the military and commercial alli-
ance of Germany and AuStria-Hungary.
The serious lack of food which has
caused outbreaks in Austria and Bo-
hernia has spread to Galicia and many
are reported to be dying of hunger.

Merchant ship construction by the
United States and the allies already

fact today as proof OF the wisdom Of
