Suppose an order should go forth
saying that there would be no more
delivering of groceries?
Would you starve or go to the store
and carry away your daily needs?
The government has taken over
the railroads and ordered fuel-less
days and is asking that we conserve
in everything possible.
We do not believe that deliveries
will be ordered discontinued, but in
order to help conserve time, fuel and
labor we believe the people of Ath
ens will gladly co-operate with the
merchants to reduce the delivery
burden to a minimum.
> We can do our bit by placing'our
order tor the day’s needs at one time
so as to have only one trip made to
our house each day.
If we will place this order in the
afternoon to be delivered next morn
ing we will get better service and the
grocer will appreciate our spirit in
helping him with his greatest prob
lem.
After the dinner is over it would
be a .good idea to take stock of the
left-overs and plan the next. day s
meals so as to use them, at the same
time making a list of extra items
needed. These additional Items can
be ordered in the afternoon for the
next day’s delivery.
Let’s help the grocer lighten his
work and shorten his hours and there
by assure ourselves better service.
Those who are willing to help In
this reform may telephone us and
register their names.

U. S. HASLOST 69 VESSELS BY
GERMAN UNRESTRICTED WARFARE IN
YEAR BUT MORE THAN BALANCED LOSS
BIGGER ARMY FOR U.S. DEPENDS ON
(By Associated Press.)
New York, Jan. 30.—In twelve
nonths of unrestricted warfare
against American and Allied shipping
by Germany a year ago Friday, there
had been sunk by submarines, mines
and raiders, sixty-nine American ves
sels, totaling 171,041 gross tons, ac
cording to a careful compilation of
the records of sinkings, made public
during the period.
Offsetting the Account
Offsetting this loss of American
vessels, most of which were sailing
ships, the United States since Feb
ruary 1st has added to her merchant
marine by seizure of former German
and Austrian owned ships, a total of
107 ships having a gross tonnage of
nearly 700,000, leaving on the credit
side of the American ledger In her
account with the Central Powers, a
net gain of more than 600,000 gross
tons.
1,300 More Vessels.
Further offsetting the loss, the
United States has requisitioned in
American shipyards 426 vessels to
taling more than two million gross
tons and contracts are awarded for
884 other ships.
ATHENS TO BUY $500 WORTH OF THE
SMILEAGE BOOKS FOR SOLDIER LADS
(By Associated Press).
Washington, Jan. 80.—The expan
sion of America’s fighting forces be
yond present strength depends upon
-such factors as events abroad and
the shipping situation, Secretary Ba
ker said tonight, disclosing that the
war department had not fixed a date
for another draft or even determined
upon how many men will be called.
Secretary Baker’s statement yes
terday concerning the available for
ces referred to divisions now in
training and those already in Europe.
How More Men Secured.
Secretary Baker made clear his
opinion that If events necessitated
calling more than another Increment
of half a million men, the executive’s
authority to draft fighting units other
than reserves would be exhausted
and further legislation by congress
would be necessary.
The senate committee tentatively
approved legislation proposed by the
war act of June 6th, authorizing the
fixing of quotas on a basis of class
cne of the new classification and em
powering the president to call men
needed for special industrial or other
work. ’
New Drawring Soon.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
explained to the committee that It
was proposed to hold a new drawing
to establish the order of liability of
new registrants.
It Is assumed, however, that more
of the new registrants will fall into
class one, giving that class of this
year a total of some two pillion men.
From class one It Is proposed to take
the next and any future drafts.
Crowder disapproved extending
registration beyond the age of thlr-
tv-one years.
