PRESENT BATTLE LAST THROW OF DICE FOR KAISER Germans Have Fed Between 240,000 and 360,000 Men Into Great Struggle, Which Is Believed Supieme Effort WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN THE FIELD. June 11.—The Germans j engaged between twenty and thirty di- j visions (240,000 to 360,000 men) in the new drive up to midnight, feeding in battalion after battalion with prodigali ty uneuuaied in any previous ptiase of , the offensive. Heroic Frencn resistance which ne cessitated this constant feeding in, changed completely the entire character of German tactics, which .argely in sured the success of previous drives. By counter attacking locally at every j point on the entire front from Mont- , didler to Noyon. almost eve., minute •the French keep the Hun first tine droops almost constantly engaged, thus pi eventing their being superceded by re curring waves of fresh" troops. In every counter attack the French succeeded in taking prisoners along the entire battle front, who unanimously de clare the German losses are frightful. French troops, participating in these counter attacks, also find heaps of Hoche dead everywhere. French cavalrymen fighting afoot on the summit olj Le Piemont plateau, who succeeded in escaping after their posi tion had been entirely surrounded, de clared that previous to their departure they repulsed fourteen infantry assaults. The oattle is accompanied by one of the fiercest artillery duels of the entire war. Owing to the Germans’ slow ad vance they have been able to bring up their light guns, but their heavy guns are still tiring from their original posi tions, which are constantly under French bombardment. Despile tue incredible amount of ma terial engaged and the unequaled masses of mtn constantly fed in, the i Germans at the most extreme point of j their advance last night had averaged only five kilometers (about three miles! penetration a day. The French airmen continue to main tain an incontestable superiority, co.i stanfly bomblnb and machine gunning German columns and inflicting the heaviest losses which the aviators them selves are able to see. The railway station Roye was observed in flames following a bombing raid. War’s Most Cruel Battle The new German drive between Mont didier and Noyon is rapidly, becoming the fiercest and most cruel battle of the war. Into it the German apparently is de termined to throw their last reserves, in a supreme effort to separate the al lied armies and reach Paris before America’s full participation wrests from them the last hopes of eventual victory. Already the steady stream of Ameri can. Italian and British divisions in France, coupled with the terrific losses inflicted on the Germans since March 31 practically has wiped out the numerical i superiority with which the Germans opened the offensive. It is certain that if the allies hold out two months longer the Americans at the present rate of arrival will give them an incontestable and crushing su periority. As a consequence, the French are re sisting in the present battle with ex treme energy, equaled only by the prod igality with which the Germans are rushing up their last resources. No longer is it a secret that the French expected the present attack and were as fully prepared as effectives and material would permit. It is likewise known that the Germans knew ’ the French expected and were prepared for the attack, yet facing the heavy losses which such a situation necessarily must email. the enemy unhesitatingly at tacked. They rushed up reserves to re place their losses, until more than twen ty divisions (240.000 men) have been fed Into the battle }o date. French Bold on Wings On both wings where the French are doggedly holding out. villages like Courcell'es have changed hands every few hours, day and night, since the bat tle began. The last carrier pigeons from Le Piemont. which was completely encircled, brought word that the French theie were still holding out, although they now possibly have been submerged. The Germans still are making their greatest effort in the Mats valley, for the purpose of reaching the Oise above Compiegne. thus forcing evacuation of the entire Noyon salient, where, at the txtreme northern point, Carlepont wood, on the east side of the Oise, and Mount Renaud, on the west side, have to date barred the German advance into the Oise valley. Military experts consider it most prob able that the Germans will launch a second converging attack from east of Noyon, with Identical objectives of at taining the Oise from the east and forc ing evacuation of the Noyon salient. From prisoners and other sources, it is established tnat the Bodies are suf fering a severe crisis in effectives. Many companies go into action with only 80 or 100 men. The wounded are forced to return to the fight as soon as they are cured. The losses in infantry officers are so great that cavalry officers are now substituted. Prussian Guard Decimated Among 200 prisoners interrogated a fourth were of the 1919 class, while i many were in the 1920. The prisoners also included miners and expert work men who heretofore had not been sent to , the front. The Fifth division of the Prussian guard, which is one of Germany's finest I body of troops, lost 50 per cent of :ts effectives during the March offensive on < the Somme and lost 30 per cent more in i the Chateau Thierry drive, it has been I established.

South i of Faverolles, 670 unburied German dead I were counted. All the advices from the battle front I show that the enemy is putting forth • very possible effort in his design to j push toward Paris, throwing division after division nto the meltng pot. So i far he has succeeded in two days of lighting in carrying forward hts line at ' the maximum point of advance, at Vignemont. a distance of six miles. In this he has been materially aided by a considerable number of tanks which the Ugly, Unsightly Pimples z Are Signals of Bad Blood Give Heed to the Warning Pimples on the face and other parts of the body are warnings from Natur? that yovi blood is sluggish and im poverished.

Work of State Food Heads Leads to Appointments as Officials of Fourth Zone \i II K I I NEW FOOD CHIEFS FOR FOURTH DISTRICT. At the left is Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president of the State College of Agriculture and food ad ministrator of Georgia, who has been appointed food administrator for the Fourth district. At the right, Major D. F. McC’atchey, state aecretary-of the administration, who will act as secretary for the district. Dr. Soule and Major Mc- Clatchey Will Direct Affairs of Food Administration in Five States The selection of Atlanta as the per manent headquarters of the fourth zone in the new system of organization in the federal food administration, and the election of Dr. Andrew M. Soule, federal food administrator for Georgia, and Ma jor D. F. McClatchey, his executive sec retary, as chief executive officers of the new district, were the culminating fea tures of the session of food administra tors from five southeastern states held in this city on Tuesday. The establishment of fifteen zones, each of which comprises groups of states in which conditions are practi cally identical, has been determined upon as the most efficient method of handling the food administration work. The fourth zone, for which Atlanta has been selected as headquarters. comprises Georgia. Alabama, Florida North and South Carolina. The food administrators of these states form the zone board of control, with Dr. Soule chairman of the board. Permanent headquarters will be im mediately established in Atlanta and food control orders will be transmitted direct from Washington. D. C., to the zone chairman, who will in turn promul gate the orders in the various states of the zone. It is expected that the opera tion of the food administration system will be greatly facilitated by this meth- French artillery was at first unable to demolish. The enemy further succeeded in widening the point of his wedge by bringing up two divisions of the guards and two Bavarian divisions borrowed from the army group of Crown Prince Rupprecht. These troops captured the villages of Mery. St. Maure and Belloy, giving him a plateau behind which he can mass troops partly screened from observation by the French. If the danger to the French is in losing ground that is valuable as room in which to maneuver, the German peril lies in the human wastage that is in progress. The German army, as a whole. I has been engaged for the last three months with slight facilities for renew al. The balance seems to be in favor of the French. Besistance Superb The resistance that is being offered by the French forces in this battle has not been surpassed for determination during the whole war. In a summary of the I’arls newspa per comment cn the battle, the Uavas agency refers to the small progress made by the Germans yesterday in com parison with the price they had to pay. The Petit Journal observes that after an extremely costly day for them in the way of casualties, the Germans realized smaller gains than on the pre vious day. “The divisions engaged melted away as in a crucible,’’ it says. L’Homme Libre thinks that the results of the second day’s fighting seeins as favor able as those achieved on the opening day of »he attack, if the question be considered from the point that one of the principal allied aims is to destroy the maximum number of the enemy troops engaged. The Echo de Paris says that Generals Foch and Retain know the enemy’s limitations--how far he can go and beyond which positions he cannot advance further, while the Matin argues that an offensive con- I ducted at such a price cannot be very 1 long continued.

Ga. — lAdvt.) od, since problems affecting the respec tive states of the zone will be dealt with by executives whose knowledge of con ditions should be practically absolute. Dr. Andrew M. Soule, the new chair man, has been one of the prime movants in food conservation matters in Georgia for years. Even before the outbreak of the war in 1914 he was promulgating a doctrine of increased production of food products and conservation of resources, visiting every section of the state on lecture tours. Since 1914 his efforts to arouse interest in food conservation have been redoubled. With the establishment of the federal food administration, he was named as administrator for Georgia and isnee that time has devoted practically all of his time to the duties attached to that post, although as president of the State College of Agriculture hts task has been a somewhat strenuous one. Major D. F. McClatchey. executive secretary of the Georgia food adminis tration, was ’’loaned - ’ for that duty by the Southern Bell Telephone and Tele graph company, which donated his serv ices. Major McClatchey is secretary of the state senate and is one of the best known men in Georgia. As expressed by several of the state representatives attending Tuesday s meeting, the election of Dr. Soule and Major McClatchey as chiefs of the zone organization was in a measure a recog nition of their efficient service, which has attracted favorable comment throughout the country. After a brief night session on Tues day, the conference adjourned, having considered several problems connected with the operations of the administra tion in the various states of the district Bert Long Brought to Federal Prison Here To Begin Life Term Bert Long, charged with the brutal murder of Private Charles Earle at Fort Oglethorpe on the night of Feoruary 24, was brought to the federal prison m Atlanta on Tuesday night to begin a life sentence, having been convicted by a jury in the federal court at Rome. Ga., late Tuesday afternoon. Just twenty three minutes were consumed by the jury in reaching its verdict, which car ried a recommendation to mercy. The prosecution, conducted by Assist ant District Attorneys J. W. Henley and Paul Carpenter, made out a strong case against Long, the evidence includ ing a confession from Tom Carden, the alleged accomplice of Long, and cor roborative testimony from several wit nesses. Earle was struck on the head with a blackjack while walking in a lonely spot on the reservation and after his money had been taken, his throat was cut from ear to ear. Ixing showed no emotion when the verdict was deceived and Judge W. T. Newman passed sentence, but his wife burst into tears. Deputy Marshals John Z. Lawshe and C. G. Barber brought the prisoner to Atlanta by the first train leaving Rome after the trial. Long is a powerfully built man of about twenty-two years, while Carden is of the same type. The latter ha-“ confessed, it is claimed by tho authori ties, to having participated with Long in a series of robberies and burglaries in Georgia and Tennessee.

CASTO RIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears ■ Signature of Atlantic to Gulf Canal Association Formed at Conference in St. Marys Governor Dorsey, Who Called Meeting, Outlines Plan for Waterway Through Georgia and Florida BY BKADFOBD BYBD. (Journal Staff Correspondent.) ST. MARYS, Ga., June 11.—J. W. 1 Oglesby, of Quitman, was elected chairman of the Mississippi, Gulf and Atlantic Canal association, which has for its object the construction of a canal ; from St. Marys, Ga., on the Atlantic, to i St. Marks, Fla., on the. Gulf of Mexico, •thus making a short water route from i the Alabama coal fields to a warm At lantic port.;, James A. Calkins, mayor of Fernandina. Fla., was elected secra , tary of the organization. The meeting was called to order here this morning by Governor Hugh M. Dor i sey, who is responsible for the launch ’ ing of the movement. In his address he I outlined thte purpose of the project and 1 ' stated that it remained for this asso- | I ciation to say whether or not the move- > ! ment should be carried further. Governor Dorsey’s address was fol- I lowed by a paper by S. G. McLendon, of 1 Atlanta, who pointed out the benefit to the entire country which would follow ; the construction of such a canal. He ■ pointed out the cost to be considered and the amount of water necessary’ to supply the canal. Theh following committee on plans, was named by Chairmon Oglesby: W. T. j Anderson, Macon, chairman; Fred T. El liott, Tallahassee; John Bachlott, St. Marys; Charles Hall Davis, Petersburg; John W. Callahan, Bainbridge; George G. Crawford, Birmingham. This com mittee will formulate a working plan designed to carry the canal project to a successful conclusion. It is likely this committee will recommend that the association memorialize congress and then the United States department heads to take up the matter of con structing the canal immediately as a war measure. The governor outlined his plans in an address at the intial business session ! of the “Atlantic to Gulf Canal” confer- | ence which was convened hdre this : morning after the delegates had spent ’ Monday in picnicking and inspecting the ' waterways in this section of this state | and northern Florida. The conference ; is being held under the auspices of the J Georgia Council of Defense. “The various members of the Georgia : Council of Defense,” the governor said, ! “and other prominent citizens, of my state, actuated by their patriotic mo- i tives. and realizing that their program j of usefulness embraces a duty to call attention to any fact or condition which may prove of value in the present strug- : gle, have considered carefully our state’s . resources and advantages. As a result, i our people have become strongly con- ' vinced that the immediate construction, I as a war measure, of a canal connecting i the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of i Mexico would be of inestimable value to the country as a whole. “While this canal will run through the states of Georgia and Florida, and will utilize existing rivers in these two states, the state of Alabama will share almost equally in the benefits arising from its construction. Its effect upon ! the economical and industrial activities of these three states wiUnnecessarily be I ! beneficial; yet its greater and more far reaching effect upon the war activities and the war needs of the United States;- , its great effect upon the economic and in | dustrial life of a large section of our country and its relations to the ‘after ! war problems,’ which will confront the ' nation, have seemed to our people of such paramount Importance that we ! have felt justified in calling together, for conference, the executives of those states of the union which will be most ' quickly and noticeably benefitted by the construction of the proposed canal.’ After declaring that the fact that the proposed canal would be located in Georgia and Florida was simply an in j cident the governor said that it had been surveyed in 1876 by Lieutenant Colonel Q. Z C. Gilmore, who, in a re port on the survey, described the canal as starting at the entrance of Cumber land sound on the Atlanta seaboard, ex tending thence up St. Marys river 61 miles, thence by canals and locks across the Okefenokee swamp to the Suwanee i river, thence down the Suwanee river I to Charles ferry, thence westward to St. Marks river and along St. Marks river to St. Marks, on the Gulf of Mex ico. It is estimated, according to Governor i Dorsey, that the total distance would be 226 miles, yet the actual amount of excavation work would be little over i 100 miles. The governor declared that the canal was essential, giving several reasons, j that it is feasible and could be main i tained at small cost and could be quick ■ J ly constructed. In giving his reasons why the canal should be built Governor Dorsey said that in his conception it appeared as an extention of the Mississippi river to the Atlantic coast. “The protected inland route through Lake Ponchartrain, Lake Borgne and ' along the northern coast of the Gulf of ' Mexico to St. Marks river and the ca -1 nal from St. Marks to Cumberland . sound, would extend the Mississippi to the Atlantic. Next to the Panama ca 'lnal, it would, in my judgment, be the greatest transportation development i from a national standpoint that has i been considered in recent years. Yesterday the entire delegation was out of touch with the outside world until late in the evening, wnen th e Y at St. Marvs after- a most delightful trip down the St. Marys river through the Cumberland sound and out into the ' A The* United States southern patrol ship, No. 153, met the delegation earls > Fridav morning at Coleraine, a point on St. Marys river, near Folkston, and i carried them down the St. Marys rive-. . ending the trip at Dungenness.

' He was shot twice, one bullet entering at his side, penetrating the abdomin and the other entering one of his legs. ’ Hueller is thirty years of age and the prison record shows his next friend to be John Berhagen, Security building, Minneapolis, and in case of his death he gave instructions to have the Ma sonic lodge No. 2, Monterey.

TROOPS EVADE SUBMARINES AND REACH FRANCE Secretary Baker’s Announce ment Shows That U-Boats Have Not Interfered —Mil- lion Mark Expected Shortly WASHINGTON, June IL—Piling up a record in May. for troop transporta tion, the nation sent across around a quarter million men. This brought the shipments past the 700,000 mark, as officially revealed by Secretary of War Baker. In a few more weeks he will be able to announce the passing of the 1,000,000 mark, and it is assumed he will withhold his next ; statement until he has reached this good round number. The secretary had intended waiting a while longer before making his an nouncement. but under the inspiration of a talk to French “blue devils” here, he decided to publish these figures. Men in charge of transportation de dare the U-boats nave had absolutely no effect upon June shipments. Their coming only made these men grit their teeth and say, “Go ahead”—and this is what they are doing. Their theory was that any relaxation in troop and supplv transport would be a confession of weakness, merely playing into Germa ny's hands. However, more June tonnage is taken up with supplies than was the case in May This means that the June troop figures will probably be somewhat low er man the May figures, though it was stated that the advance schedule con templated making May a banner month and June a lower one. Senators in touch with the war council have been informed that June troop movements thus far show a slight falling off from the May average. Baker’s statement is a challenge to the Teuton jingoes—including the new reichstag president, Herr Fehrenbach who have prated of American inability to send troops across. However, 200,- 000 are now admitted by the Boche, and there have been inquiries in the ' reichstag as to why the U-boats let I these vessels get through. While military secrecy requires that ! details be Withheld, It may be said that ' the convoy system has been strength i ened since raiders appeared off the Amer ican coast, and hence officials believe 1 the transports can gc» forward with as much safety as ever. With 700,000 shipped, it is evident that America’s part in the west front strife is gradually coming to a point I where our forces will have a share com ■ parable to those of the other allies. ' One general put it thus today: “They will give good account of themselves always. True, they cannot always have a victory: nobody ever can do that. But you can rely on Amer icans to be brave and steady and to do their utmost in any situation.” The army gives the navy credit for the fact that no outward bound trans port thus far has come to grief. And that the fact that raiders are harass ing small shipping is not an alarming thing to the transport men. “It’s like a pestiferous fly.” said an admiral today “But eventually you kill the fly.” The navy had no fresh news early to day as to ♦he raWebs;' Yaryan Rosin and Turpentine Company Goes Into Bankruptcy MACON.
