Charleston. S. c.. April 10. -
1t has come to the notice of this
Office that many people fail to
report suspicious and disloyal
acts or manifestations of sympa-
thy for the enemy. because Of
uncertainty as to the proper Off

1t is very important that the
Government should have the
assistance of all citizens in de-
tecting enemy propaganda or
suspicious activities of individu-
ais. and you will do a service in
notifying all people that any
communication addressed to IN
selligence Officer. Headquarters

proper official of the Government
for investigation. The names
of informants will not be divul9.

the part of anybody, of getting
into trouble in case suspicious
prove to be unfounded.
Informants should indicate the

Hoarders.

Parker Declares Open Season ON Flour
Hoarders-
The great battle going on in
Europe. the dread of long Amer
lean casualty lists to come. has
aroused the people to the sacred
duty of sending food to the so'-
diers and those fighting with
them to prevent the world from
becoming the slave pen of the
kaiser.
The United States Food Ad-
ministration has ordered a tight
ening of the -four regulations,
and of other food conservation
measures. all along the line.
Flour especially must be saved.
Consumption at home must be
cut down so thar famine will not
become the next powerful weap-
on of the Huns. Neither excus-
es or evasions will be permitted,
and the people themselves will
see that no guilty man or woman
will escape. There is proof of
this sentiment in the immense
number of reports and pledges
coming voluntarily into the Office
of John M. Parker, Food Admin
istrator for Louisiana.
1T is open season on the spe-
cies of on-Americans who are
boarding or wasting -four at this
critical time. Any persons with
q supply Of -four in excess of
their actual needs for thirty days
are guilty of boarding. Con-
gress has passed a law providing
for their punishment. The law
will be carried out.
The United States Food Ad-
ministration has already given
indication of a systematic effort
to seek cut and Iunish flour
hoarders. The machinery is be-
ing organized for survey of the
