NEW ALLIED BLOW Macedonian Front Dispatches to Washington Indicate Fresh Drive, to Break the Kaiser’s Backbone WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.—Fighting on I the Saloniki front, where the allies hope to break the kaiser’s backbone the i coming spring, has begun, according to Macedonian front war dispatches re i ceived in Washington today. Serbian. British and French troops, in the Vardar valley, are operating west ’of Lake Doiran and the Mount Dobro i polya positions held by the Bulgars and ■have made advances in the vicinity of 1 Seres, reports state. The allied forces ‘ at Monastir have also started activities 1 against the Austrians and Bulgars and a determined offensive will get under way from this base early in the spring, military critics here believe. The appointment of General Guilli ame to succeed General Sarrail. presaged a year of activity in the Balkans, mili 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 to I'lndia. Sarrail or some other defensive I general would have been placed in 1 charge of that vital base, critics point- I 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 em pires face great obstacles the coming year, high allied military authorities de clare. With the policy of co-ordination, which the entente has adopted, the kai ser will be unable to shift his demor ' alt zed forces from one front to the I other to halt the advancing offensives, they believe. "The Saloniki front is not going to be one of secondary importance.” p Balkan military expert declared today. "On no other front will such immense and far reaching results accrue from a successful offensive. Cut the Ber lin-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 Bulgars, who long since accomplished their war aims, hove been deserting by scores and are chafing under the Ger- I man military rule. "Germany’s draining of Turkey and ■ Bulgaria of supplies and in return giv • ing them war munition has also creat •ed a spirit of discomfort,” a Balkan I diplomat declared. "Stop this inter »change and both Bulgaria and Turkey - will quit. Open the Dardanelles and ■ south Russia will be on her feet again. • Free British forces in Turkey and al- I lied troops in Macedonia and the Ital lian steam roller will forge on to I Vienna.” Greece's mobilization of troops for active service, announced today and Roumania's decision to hold out against overwhelming odds, is also indicative that trouble for the kaiser is brewing in the Balkans. 224 Die When Submarine Sinks British Armed Ship LONDON, Feb. 2.—The British armed boarding steamer Louvain, Lieutenant Commander M.

TREACHERY REAL CAUSE OF ITALIAN ROUT, SAYS COREY : Before Retreat of Oct. 23, Parliament Was Pro-Ger- man and Pro-Peace—ltaly Must Have American Food ABTXCX.E 1. After a swift but tborongli investigation on ttie ground of the causes of the Italian debacle of October 23, Herbert Corey has discovered ' fact* which make one of the most remarkable ’ stories of the war. The Italian army was driv- I en from its advanced position tiecause politi- I cal traitors in Rome failed to support it, be- I cause pro-German traitors within the army or - tiered their men to retreat, and because pro- L Gorman civilians conducted a propaganda of | falsehood and forgery. The Italian private sol i tiler was told peace bad come—officers by eon- I nivance or ignorance permitted this—and on the ; morning of October 23 thousands of men at ! tually throw down their arms and started home. Thereupon they were attacked by determined German troops. By herculean efforts patriot [ officers managed to establish a defense on the Piave. During the rout many patriot common ■ soldiers shot their traitor officers. BY HERBERT COREY PARIS. Dec. 12. — (By Mail.)—After a f period spent in Italy, during which I in vestigated the causes leading up to and I the results to be anticipated from the I recent military debacle. I have returned | to Paris to write the story. Any other course would have heen folly. For two years an incredibly mediaeval government and a stupidly repressive censorship have kept the truth from the world. It is not to be assumed that any Italian censor would Vise what I have to tell. Yet that story, properly written and properly read, should be filled with en couragement for the allied cause and for the future of democracy. It may be sharply outlined in a few sentences: The Italian army has been crippled by the loss of 280,000 prisoners and 2,500 ■ guns. Including virtually all of its i most modern pieces of artillery. In spite ;of that It Is fighting on with magnifi cent dash and courage. There is an un touched reserve of man power awaiting | call. The Italian parliament is still the 1 Giolitti parliament of before the war, ' which was then pro-German and pro peace. Giolitti ca.n recognize the gov ernment when he sees tit. Giolitti —“the Director”—was the instrument through which Buelow and Burian. respectively representing Germany and Austria, worked in the days just preceding the . war. Yet Giolitti may not see fit to attempt la reorganization. In .spite of his polit ical power he could not saddle and bridle the Italian people before the war. He was a dictator, yet he was stoned in the streets. While Italy remained a bundle of only half-conscious and more or less antagonistic states his boss-ship was supreme. But Italy is responding in heroic fash ion to the stimulus of invasion. For the first time in her present political incar nation of forty-six years she promises to become a nation. Giolitti blmself — by the testlmany of some who know him well—may cease to be a boss and be come a patriot. Consequences of the most enormous value may follow. Italy may abandon the very real friendship foq, Germany she felt in the past and, because of the invasion, become a strongly loyal mem ber of the new alliance of the democra cies of the west against the autocra cies of the center. Thousands of Italians have known and loved the United States, but Italy as a state has neither known us well nor loved us well. The door is open to a , real friendship. It depends upon our selves. She may come to share that feeling of confidence that is now mani fested by the republics of South Ameri ca after their years of doubt. Two things must be understood in America. One is that without our aid Italy must starve. She is nearer the starvation line today than any other of the allied nations. The other is that ' her arms must be supported. She must have trained men and guns in plenty. Up to the debacle of October 23 and I the days immediately succeeding, the ! story of Italy may be divided into two I parts—military and political. They were . a mere interlacement of weaknesses. The I great wonder is that collapse was so long delayed. Conditions in the army were ias bad as they could be. At Rome an I inefficient government was supported by j a parliament of more than doubtful loyalty. Both were under fire from two sources ' of propaganda which, differing in motive, I worked toward the same end. The of -1 ticial Sociliasts, who claim 300* of the ! 2,000 mayors of Italy, and have a string j of—according to the Italian papers— ; "scores” of newspapers, preached peace | and hinted at revolution. A powerful i pro-German element clamored for peace, j Because the military collapse was the I instrument through which conditions were brought to light it should be ex amined first. For more than two years the Italian i armies fought magnificently and with I excellent success. The European and American publics have refused the Ital ian soldiers the credit that is their due and have failed—until the tragedy of October—to ascribe its proper value to the Italian front. “An army of beggars and mandolin players," was an Austrian taunt that has neier been forgiven by Italy. There is no more difficult terrain in Europe than the one in which the Italian armies have been fighting. It is baking hot in summer and of an arctic cold in winter. It is all mountain peaks ani rocks and sand. Yet the Italians went steadily forward. They were thrown j back by the Austrians in 1916, but ral- I lied superbly. Cadorna effected a mag- I nificent mobilization of resources and entered upon a triumphant counter of fensive. "Great Italy” Was in Sight This reched its climax this year when the plateau of Bainsizza was taken. Gorzia had fallen. Italy was in sight of her twin goals of the Trentino and TriesL National hopes mounted high. Albania was seized in the hope of off setting the French advance through Sa lonica. The plan was to trade Albania to the French for Tunis, and thus "to set a bar across the Mediterranean.” I have in my possession a map printed APPROACHING MEAT SHORTAGE IN STATE FORECAST BY SOULE State Food Administrator De clares It Will Be Felt in About a Week or Ten Days Dr. A. M. rioule, federal food admin istrator for Georgia, Friday issued a 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 tised and substitutes must be made to take the place of fresh meats,” Dr. Soule stated. Fish can well 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 25 cents per pound, and is one of the best available meat substitutes.” On official information from Wash ington Dr. 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 dif 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 normaal average margin above cost and to distribute such meat as is available fairly among customers. It is also announced that the food administrator will direct packers and wholesalers not to sell any re tailer who is proved to have violated the orders of the food adminstration. It is not expected that prices will be in creased. unless-conditions in some states are Such that they actually increase the cost of production. Exchange of Corn for Flour Plan Announced Food Administrator A. M. Soule has issued a special order making provision for the acceptance by merchants from farmers of corn in exchange for wheat Hour, that farmers who produced their own corn crops may participate in the “victory” or “fifty-fifty” plan for the distribution of flour. The order follows: "The retail merchant is authorized at his discretion to accept from the pro ducer fifty-six pounds of shelled corn or seventy pounds of ear corn in mer chantable condition and suitable for hu man food in exchange for twenty-four pounds of wheat flour without the pur chase of other cereals, with such dif ferential in favor of the producer to be paid ifi cash as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties, provided the price on which the flour is based in making this exchange does not in any event net to the retail dealer more than a profit of $1 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 fiffty-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 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 line was planned along the defensive summits of the Alps and into the Dal matian hinterland. That aspiration for a "Great Italy” which has always ani mated Italy’s politicians seemed to the patriotic observers in a fairway 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 Cadorna’s forces. Then came a warning which some one in the allied councils should have been wise enough to profit by. “My men are not fit for another of fensive at this time. said Cadorna. “Are your positions safe? ” he 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 a rumor to Rome one day that conditions were not satisfactory at the front General Cadorna had visited Rome. The pub lic thought he had come to talk "high politics”—to discuss the Albanian-Tunis trade. It is not definitely settled even today what was the occasion of his visit" But on October 23 the minister of war made a statement to the public through parliament: “The army.” said he, “is absolutely sound at heart.” At the moment —at the very moment when he made his statement —a part of that army had thrown down its guns at the Tolmine bridgehead and let the Germans through. A retreat became a rout. The Second army was captured al most without firing a shot. Os the 280,000 lost it is reported that only 3,000 were killed. A large part of the winter equip ment of the Italian forces was taken — mules, blankets, food, 90,000 hosiptal beds, rifles, shells—all the impedimenta of any army which is to be valued not by dollars but by lives. Complete disorganization 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 'fenice, and the destruc tion of this world-jewel was only pre vented by the tacit convention that it was not to be defended. Headquarters were moved from Udine so hastily that records, maps, books, even the personal equipment of the staff officers, were abandoned to the enemy. The chief resistance offered was by the heavily falling rain—"it came down like iron rods,” one officer told me, and the state of the roads and the fatigue of the invaders. Some Italian units fought as bravely as men ever fought. Others had no chance to fight because they were so outflanked that resistance would iwive heen the wildest folly. The one sane thing they could do was to save themselves. The marvel U that all had uoi been SOUTHEAST PORTS TO BE DEVELOPED BY McADOO SCHEME Director General of Railroads Would Expend Upwards of Fifty Millions in Increasing Termnial Facilities BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 3.—ln line with his purpose to develop the ports of the joutneast, William G. Mc- 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 possi ble tune the improvements that will be ceauired. Wh.le no definite statement will be made iy -Mr. McAdoo, pending the in vestigation by the engineering experts, it is regarded as certain that upwards of fifty million dollars will be expend ed in the southeast by the director general in modernizing the ports. Fending 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. Galves ton, Jacksonville and New Orleans. It 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 $750)000 to Farmers of State in 1917 Georgia's 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 40,000 hogs and cattle, and 30,000 of that number came from Geor gia, while the others came from Geor gia's neighbors, Alabama and Tennes- I see. Ten years ago, when White Provision i company was starting, a few hogs were ■ killed in Georgia in cold weather for local use. A 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 i 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,” inas much as cotton has not been reduced. White Provision company’s sales in 1917, it was further reported to the directors, exceeded $1,503,000. Its pay roll was more than $75,000. It pur chased SIO,OOO worth of woden boxes from an Atlanta factory; thousands of yards of cotton cloth from an Atlanta mill for wrapping hams and bacon, thousands of tin pails from an Atlanta branch factory for packing lard; four carloads of pasteboard cartons from an i Atlanta factory for packing Cornfield wieners; fifteen carloads of hickory wood from farmers near Atlanta for i smoking wieners and ham.
