BRITAIN WINNER, U. S. IS
LOSER, GERMAN DECLARES

Berlin, May 16.-(DelayeO Great
Britain is in the greatest winner and
America is the greatest loser as the
result of the peace terms, according
to Herr Giesberts, delegate, who re-
turned recently from Versailles. He
declared the treaty similarly reduced
Germany to the status of slave colo
ny.
Premier Lloyd-GeOrge and Premier
Clemenceau beat President Wilson by
forcing peace which killed Germany
as a commercial competitor thereby
advancing British interests, Gieberts
said in an interview today. America
will lose German markets because
Wilson failed to compel adhesion to
his fourteen points, he said.
Germany would become practically
a slave colony under the terms as at
present constituted" said Gieberts.
The Saar settlement simply means
that Germany must buy back her own
people at the end Of fifteen years
II the terms were reduced half there
would be eternal pace, for Germany
would then be able to work, repay her
debts and recOnstitute herself"

SOLICITOR ENTITLED

]. PHIL CAMPBELL EXPLAINS AID.
VANTAGEs FOR MEN.

Director ]. Phil Campbell of the ex-
tension work at the state college of
agriculture makes an interesting an
nouncement with regard to compensa-
tion and re-education of soldiers.
This information is given the sol
diers of Crisp by Farm Demonstration
Agent ]. NJ. Turner in order that they
may know of the advantages. The
announcement follows:
There has been some misunder-
standing as owhat soldiers are elig-
BILE to apply for compensation and re-
education.
"A man need not necessarily have
lost a leg or an eye.
I'VE have a man here who was Oper-
ated on for appendicitis but is not
quite SO strong as when he went into
the army. We have another man who
was shot in the leg and his wound has
fully healed, but he too is not quite as
strong as when he went into the army
Another man suffered only a slight
injury at Camp Wheeler. All three
are being educated at the expense of
the government since they are not in
as good condition as when they went
into the army.
ANY soldier, sailor, marine. or
nurse who suffered any kind of injury
however, small, either at home or
abroad while in military service, may
apply. If they show ten percent dis
ability they are entitled to re-educa-
tion.
please report the names of all in
jured men to us. Get them in touch
with the nearest Red Cross or the fed
eral vocational board at S23 Forsyth
building, Atlanta, Ga"

Department of Labor Report
Shows They Cannot Afford
Sufficient Food

Washington, Oct 2s.-Twenty per
sent of the persons in the United
States are undernourished. and an
additional 80 per cent. do not get
sufficient food, according to the
figures established by the Depart
ment of Labor, Bureau of Statistics,
which has just completed an investi-
cation of the family budgets in 1900
cases.
Scientists have developed the fact
that it takes $500 calories of food
to keep the normal man in good
health. The Department of Labor
report shows dietary analysis in
sthe case of 9S3 families, selected at
random in eleven representative
cities; 21.2 per cent. purchase less
than 2,500 calories of food a man a
day; 40 per cent. less than 5000
calories; and 74.5 per cent. less than
$500 calories. Allowing for con-
siderable variation from the recog-
nized standard of $500 calories a
man a day, these figures Indicate
approximately 20 per cent. of the
Families are puI chasing food entire
ly insufficient for the maintenance
of health, 80 per cent. are on the
border line between sufficient end
insufficient nodr!snrlent, and &c per
/ cent. in all probability are we'll
nourished.
"A study of the total yearly in
/ come in relation to the food budget"
says the report, "also bears out these
conclusions"
