AMERICA NOW LOST
TO ALL GERMANISM
Teuton Newspaper Says Victories In
Europe Are Offset By Losses In The
United States.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 19, 1918,
Washington, June 16.—In the crush
ing out of Germanism in the United
States, the Koelnische Volks Zletung
sees a disaster in a measure balanc
ing the Teutonic military successes.
An official dispatch from France today
commenting on pessimistic discus
sion in the German press of events in
■ he United States quotes the Volks
Zietung as follows:
Mr. Wilson hopes to succeed In
crushing the German elements. He
will succeed. The Gertnun press is
already nearly crushed out of exist
ence in America. The greater part of
the German schools are closed. The
German associations are having t-
strip themselves of all vestiges oi
Germanism. It is a complete debacle.
It is unnecessary to be pessimist
to realize that the consequences of our
European victories are in a measure
balanced by the sum total of the loss
es we have suffered in America. AP
this could have been foreseen.
‘After the war the Germans will no
longer be able to enter America, the
Hamburg-American and North Ger
man Lloyd lines are entered In the
black book. Shipbuilding yards and
offices have been sold with the prohi
bition of reselling to Germany after
the war. The American press sp.talcs
f forbidding Germans to buy ship
building yards. It will he the end o
German trans-Atlantic commerce.
"Besides these maritime forces, Ger
man estates representing millions of
dollars, stocks of copper, nickel, cot
ton, leather and chemical products
have been seized and utilized to fabri
cate American war material.”
NO CRACKED ICE AT
SODA WATER PLACES
Milledgeville's Fountain! Following
Food Law Clocely.
In accordance with recent orders
from the Federal Food Administration
local soda fountains have stopped
serving cracked or shaved Ice in all
drinks, and MilledgevllUans are patri
otically adapting themselves to the
new practice.
At all local fountains the federal
order is being followed to the letter.
When one wonders why there is no
ice in his drink and Inquires of the
clerk the reason, his attention is po
litely called to the fact that the food
administration forbids such consump
tion.
As a matter of fact drinks will lie
just as refreshing without the ice as
with it w-hen one becomes used to the
practice. All of the fountains cool
their syrups and other ingredients by
means of proper refrigeration in mod
ern seda dispensaries. Cracked ice in
drinks is considered by officials an un
necessary consumption, and the prac
tice is done away with in order that
ice may be conserved for more essen
tial uses.'

The incumbent, J. W. Wise, of Fay

Judge C. L, Bartlett, of Maoon, who
represented the Sixth district in con

Under rigid orders issued by the
foodd administration all city or
town householders are put cn a
strict two pounds sugar limit on
each purchase and county house
holders on a five-pound limit., pro
curable only by specific declara
tion, a limit of not more than fifty
pounds for the remainder of the
se tson for preserving and canning,
pr -.curable, on signed pledge, 25
pounds at a time, and a limit of
not more than one and oi.e-half
pounds cf beef per person per
woek. Hotels restaurants and all
public eating-places are requested
to eliminate from their menus and
service boiled beef, except two
meals per week, beefsteak one meal
per week and roast beef one meal
per week. The orders issued by
Dr Andrew M. Soule are made “ef
fective at once” nnd direction is
given that “the foregoing publica
tion is official notice to all people
concerned In the state cf Georgia."
from season to season; the changing
situation in shipping and, therefore,
of the markets available to the Al
lies; and the increasing demand for
supplies for our own growing army,
with the fluctuation of the beef sup
ply in France, all make It Impossible
to adopt a fixed policy for any long
fixed period in advance. The food ad
ministration has recently asked for
economy in all meat consumption. It
is now the purpose of the administra
tion to emphasize clearly the neces
sity of the moment for a still further
reduction of the beef consumption by
each week qnd roast beef at not more
uu.u one meal each week.
"Householders are requested to con
form to the fullest of their ability tile
oregoing and accompanying order.
They should not, under any circum
stances, buy more than one and ono
quarter pounds of clear beef or one
and one half pounds f beef including
the bone in any ono calendar week for
each member of the family ”
Further Limitation on Sugar.
Dr. Soule's order on the sale and
distribution of sugar is even more di
rect than the beef order. It is ns fol-
our own people, and to meet this ne-.lcws:

The office of the Georgia Food Ad
ministration has made public the fol
lowing:
"War requirements have so increas
ed as to make immediately necessary
more far-reaching food conservation
along certain lines than at any time
heretefore. Instructions from the
United States Food Administration, in
Washington, are that the sugar situ
ation in this country and abroad haB
so developed in the past few days as
to require particularly rigid economy.
From another angle, the demands have
become so pressing on the stores of
this country, to meet conditions
abroad, that every available ounce of
the present urgency of the immediate
war conditions makes necessary the
adoption of this program at thia time.
“The public generally, both the
houeeholder and the buelneea enter-
priaen, will readily appreciate that the
changing conditions in production
cessity it makes the suggestion and
request of substitution of the use of
pork and pork products.
"It is always the itoiicy of the ad
ministration to suspend or relieve any
of its conservation orders so soon ns
the purpose for which they are desig
nated has been met. It is anticipated
that this request will hold good until
about September 15th, and, to meet
necessary demands the full co-opera
tion of the public Is most earnestly
urged.
This publication is to be accepted
by all parties concerned as official no
tice of promulgation of tile foregoing
order."
The Orders.
TheG orders issued by Dr. Soule are
as follows:
“To all county administrators and
the Public: The demand for beet f r
our armies and the armies of our al
lied nations and their civil population
for the summer months Is beyond the
measure of the surplus of this coun
try. On the other hand the United
States has increased its supply of
pork this year sufficiently to permit
ether necessary economic conserva
tion by Its more liberal use. It there
fore will be of direct service to the
war program of this country and our
service to our armies and those of our
allies, if the people of Georgia—the
same direction Is being given In other
states—will, in as large degree as pos
sible, substitute the use of fresh pork,
bacon hams, and sausage for beef and
beef products.
Un cf leaf Restricted.
“It ia, therefore, directed and order
ed that all hotels, restaurants and pub
lic eating places, effective at once,
shall not place on their menus or serve
to patrons boiled beef at more than
two maala in each calendar week-
beef-steak at not more than one meal
“To all administrators and the Pub
lic: Effective at once it is ordered
nnd directed that all sales of sugar by
retail in tlie State of Georgia shall,
until further notice by the Federal
Food Administration, be limited to
not more than two puonds at any cne
time to town or city purchasers and
to not more than five pounds at any
one time to purchasers in the rural
districts.
“The merchant is especially direct
ed that the duty is placed upon him
of ascertaining from each prospective
purchaser, beiore making a sale that
ho or she has not that day made pur
chase of sugar elsewhere and that the
p rchase about to be ntude is intended
for his or her own family use, and hto
purchase will not aggregate more than
three pounds per month for each
member in a family. Under no cir
cumstances shall there be any devia
tion from this order, except as here
after provided, In the matter of sugar
for canning or preserving. It Is fur
ther ordered that, in the matter of
purchase and salo of sugar for can
ning and preserving purposes the cer
tificates heretefore provided shall be
rigidly required on each purchase;
that no sale or certificate shall ex
ceed 25 pounds at any one time and
that no more than a total of 50 pounds
for the remainder of the season shalf
be sold to any one family for canning
or preserving purposes. In all cases
It is especially ordered that heretofore
required certificates designed for the
purpose shall be rigidly adhered to.
“It is ordered that thia publication
shall he taken by all concerned aa of
ficial notice of promulgation of the
foregoing orders.”
