CHANNEL PORTS
HUN OBJECTIVE
I
_ I
NEW YORK, April 11. —Capture of;
the channel ports of Boulogne and
Calais apparently forms the objective!
of von Hindenburg’e restless series of I
new attack against the British front j
that centers on Armentieres.
This is the same area i nwhich the'
Germans attempted to break through
to the channel a san alternative pro
gram early in the war wheu thev
failed to caf f :e Paris. Having failed
now to capture Amiens, second only to,
Taris in importance, tba kaiser re
turn to the scene of his former de
feat for a resumption of the disastrous
adbenture. ’
A spirit of nervous aetvity Is begin
ning to reveal itelf among the Ger
mans such as they have not exhibited)
before Von Hindenburg seems to
realize that he cannot permit his ar-1
intes to remain at rest. There is evi -
dence of trepidation at the meagre!
value of the German accomplihment ,
during the present drive compared
with the colossal casualties. Hasty as
saults in unrelated sectors of the
front are replacing the former German
perseverance in the face of a single ob
jective. Within a few day von Hin
denburg has halted his Amiens opera
tions to attack the French fifty miles
southeast along the Ailette river, and I
has curtailed his efforts there to as
sail the British front nearly one hun
dred mile further north.
The old Hindenburg spirit of dogged
pursuit along a well-mapped out
course is no longer apparent. Har-i
ried indecision has taken its place.
Von Hindenburg’s acitvities, in fact,
are suggesting more and more the idea
that the new west front lias barred
him in, and he is rushing about his
cage vainly seeking some way of
breaking the bars and gaining liberty
of action.
In this situation it is General Foch’s
apparent purpose to let von Hinden
burg wear himself out. Since the Ger
man general staff believes there is
still a chance of capturing Calais and
Boulogne, it is admirable strategy for
the Allie to encourage the kaiser to
add to his reputation as the extermi
nator of human man-power.
The chanrfel ports are unquestiona
-Ily safe. The more Germans are kill
ed before von Hindenburg recognizes
that fact, the easier will be the task
o» America and the Allies when they
eventually develop their joint major
offensive
BIG QUANTITIES OF
EXCESS FLOUR FOUND
ATLANTA, Ga., April 11.—With the
announcement barely made that all
excess flour in Georgia must be report
ed by inventory to the Federal Food
Administrator, Dr. A. M. Soule —a dup
licate being sent by the dealer or hold
er of the flour to the county food ad
ministrator—enough excess flour in
Georgia already has been reported to
supply the state more than sixty days
if properly distributed.
No merchant or dealer should have
on hand, unreported, more than nor
mal supply for thirty days. The ex
cess should be inventoried at once, in
duplicate; one copy to be sent by him
to Dr. Soule and the other to the
county food administrator. The same
thing must be done by heads of in
dividual families, boarding houses,
public eating places and hotels. These
inventories must be filed by April 18.
Reports of f amilies.
The head of each household, there
fore, should report the excess amount
oi flour on hand in the pantr yat this
time and the number of members In
the family. Six pounds per person
for 30 days means that a family of
five people is legitimately entitled to
use 30 pounds of flour in month. If
there is on hand 50 pounds, by accu
mulation. or otherwise, that family, by
its report, in effect releases 30 pounds
of flour to be exported by the govern
ment at once of what would be ap
portioned to Georgia this month. Th?
same system applies to boarding
houses.
Wholesale and Retail Reports.
All wholesale and retail dealers,
and all others handling flour, are re
quired to make report, by or before
April 18. of the total amount of ex '
cess flour on hand, enroute or under
shipment or otherwise under its or
his control. This will be computed
with the normal 30 day's supplj to
which such business enterprise is en
titled an o n that computation will be
shown the amount of excess flour
which, through these channels—either
actually in stock or moving in such
way as to become in stock within the
current period—may be reported to
Washington for release to army ex
nert abroad

HD EDOSS ME
HILL DE DEDSD HERE
Mr. L. 0. Armstrong, of the Bureau
of Economics, Department of Public
Instruction, who is spending a few
weeks in Florida, is giving his stir
ring lecture on ’’Canada at War” to
leading chapters in the state under
the auspices of the American Ded
Cross. He will be heard here tomor
row.
in this lecture, Mr. Armstrong is
showing Americans his country from
a new viewpoint. He lias lectured in
times past all over the United States
on various aspects of Canada In times
■Gs peace, but it only recently that he
has been prevailed upon to prepare
a talk on conditions as they now exist
for our nearest ally. This lecture
should be of particular interest in
America as we are just entering upon
a period through which Canada has
already passed, that of preparation for
war. Mr. Armstrong’s lectures are
illustrated with b.andpainted slides
and motion pictures, many of which
are the official pictures of the govern
ment of the allied nations.
Bravery and Canadian have cornel
to be synonimaus words among the al- ,
lied armies on both the east and the
west fronts. Every colony of the
British empire has responded nobly
to the call to fight for liberty, but
the Canadians are indeed giving their
all, their money, their resources and
their men. In recognition of their
splendid service, their heroic deeds'
and their indcmitabla fighting have |
been recorded for future generations I
in a series of official films which show ■
how the Canadians prepared them-j
selves for the strenuous life in the
field.
It is particularly fitting that Mr.)
Armstrong, who is a native of Canada,
should present these pictures and this
story of Canada at War to the United
States which is now Canada's ally-
Ho has already traveled the breadth
of Canada and the United States in
the interest of this work, giving his
services to the government through;
the Bureau of Commercial Economics I
and doing everything in this power to
help his country in her hour of need
though he was unable to go into the
service again on account of being over
age. A man of pleasing personality.
Mr. Armstrong i s a forceful and en
tertaining speaker, and, while deliver
ing many strong messages to his hear- ;
ers, intersperses his talk with clever |
and amusing stories.
This lecture ig especially well il
lustrated both with colored steropticon
slides and with motion pitcures which
show some of the grandeur of the Ca
nadian rookies and the scenic bcau
ties of the country. Every picture of
the men embarking for war brings
forth rounds and rounds of applause
and some of the pictures show women
ord girls marching in the ranks with
their husbands, brothers or sweet
hearts wh 0 ire on their way to the
fmni Those .vho have traveled ’n
Canada enjoy seeing the beauties
again in the pictures, and to those
w’-o have never been there the pict
ures are of even more interest, being
?s they arc,, the faithful reproduction
