GEAMANMAN POWER BEING
SAPPED. BAKER DECLARES
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—Declar
ing that “the weck just closed his
been one very favorable to the Allled
arms,” Secretary of War Newton D,
Baker, in his weekly review on war
conditions, today paid high tribute to
both the British and Italian arms;
Germany, he declares, took the of
fensive in Italy to extricate herself
from the increasingly difficult position
in which the German arms find them
selves on the west front. This has
failed, the Secretary says. Summing
up the result and the outlook, Mr. Ba
ker says:
“It is the wastage of the enemy
forces--the slow, yet relentless sap
ping of the man power by continued
and sudden offensive thrusts—which
must eventually result in the soften
ing of hig line in the west. This is
the ultimate objective of the series of
* intensive offensives so successfully
?’, pursued by the Allles in the past six
s months, and s even more Important
s#than the gain in territory.”
& The complete review as made pub
lic by the Secretary is as follows:
"~ “The week just closed has been one
¢ very favorable to the Allled armies.
“The success of the British offen
' sive in the region of Cambrai and
the steady resistance of the Italians
in the face of repeated attacks of the
JAustro-CGerman forces are two factors
which may be considered as corela
!fl\'e elements of one and the same
novement.
Reason for Offensive.
“It is evident the enemy took the
offensive in Italy hoping thereby to
“extricate himself from the increasing
ly difficult position in which his forces
i found themseélves in the west.
. “The German higher command was
L apparently confident that, in order to
i save Italy from invasion, such im
portant coutingents of French and
British troops would be detached from
_the western front as to render any
“further Allied offensives in this the
.ater impossible.
. “Though the French and British
. have both dispatched large contin
g gents to Italy, this has in no way
- hampered the continuance of their of
# fensive operations.
# It is the wastage of the enemy
gftorces. the slow yet relentless, sapping
of his man power by continued and |
“sudden offensive thrusts, which must
eventually result In the softening of
his line in the west.
' “Thig is the ultimate objective of
the series of intensive offensives so
“successfully pursued by the Allies in
the past six months, and is even more |
lmportant than the gain of terrain.
~ “The military situation is dominated
by the spectacular success gained by
. the British forces in their thrust to
fi;..\urd Cambral.
' “By adopting new tactical methods,
¥ evolving a strategy daringly con
~ ceived and brilliantly executed, the
. British forces have been able to record
, A greater success, when measured by
. captured terrain, than any hitherto
; lcgleved by either belligerent in the
Eg.me space of time along the western
" front.
it Haig’s Success,
?\5 “While seemingly continuing his
" oftensive engagements in Flanders by
%’,Mtensive artillery bombardment in
the sector utretchlnf from Ypres to
%fthe North Sea, Field Marshal Haig
Pwas able to mask successfully his
i plang for an offensive thrust between
Eithe Scarpe River and St. Quentin.
“The usua! preliminary artillery
‘preparation was dispensed with. The
lements of surprise so uéntm to
fctory placed a large part in the
iuccesses gained,
. “The British, by a preponderant
fnumerical superiority in men and ma
‘terial, by improvising the skillful
tactical maneuverimg of an unusual
number of tanks, and hy co-ordinat
i iny with precision the deployment of !
/aavalry, made use of these two arms
ito bear the brunt of the encounter.
Cinfantry then wags called upon to hold
‘and oconsolidate the terrain gained.

Witfilouy;; Annexation
- Smase——
(By International News Service.)
ZURICH, Nov. 27.--Hungary is ready
to make peace without any annexations.
This declaration came today from Count
Karolyf, famous Hungarian statesman,
who is now in Switzerland on a peace
mission. The Hungarian peace agent
has been trying to get in touch with
representatives of the entente powers
for the purgole of furthering the peace
movement, he sald.
Many a home will serve a less pretentious repast this
year than on any previous Thanksgiving—certainly there
will be less extravagance and waste. But the lessons of
economy and common sense that are being learned every
day will prove of countless value in the future.
And yet the Thanksgiving dinner need be no less
attractive than heretofore—and the sacred charm of the
occasion may still be preserved. In faect, there will be ad
ditional reasons for thanks, in the knowledge we have
gained of how to substitute economy for extravagance—of
the value of many inexpensive articles of food that can be
used in place of the costly ones.
The Rogers Stores have felt it a part of their mission to
disseminate all obtainable information that would tend to
correct our national fault of extravagance and wasteful
ness. All of which we have backed up by supplying our
patrons at the lowest possible prices.
1T All of our stores will remain closed all day Thanks.
giving. In order to be able to do this, they will be open
on Wednesday night until 9 o’clock, so that all of our
patrons may be served.
SOMETHING ABOUT BREAD-—You should remember to buy
a two-days' supply on account of Thursday’s closing. Our Quality
Loaf is thoroughly wrapped and will retain its freshness. This
elegant milk bread is a full 20-ounce loaf. and sells for the same
price as other 16-ounce loaves, 10¢. Qur Double Loaf contains 16
ounces, price 7e.
ARE YOU A CRANK ABOUT FLOUR?—Many of the best
cooks are hard to please when it coniés to flour. We unhesitat
ingly state that no matter how much you pay, you simply can not
get a higher grade of Flour than RICHLAND LILY. There are
other flours as good, but we know there is none better, Try it
on our recommendation, and you will be delighted with it in every
particular, besides you will save a neat amount.* 24 Lbs., $1.58.
THE TRUTH ABOUT EGGS—Three-fourths of the eggs con
sumed at this season of the year are storage eggs. They have to
be. Supply and demand governs it. Yet because there is a
prejudice against storage eggs, some dealers are forced by their
patrons to call them fresh eggs. They are better. than your
prejudice permits yon to believe them. Our price on No. 1 storage
eggs, dozen, 39¢c.
THE FRESHEST CREAMERY BUTTER sold in Atlanta to
day is Velvet, which {s handled exclusively by us. Made in Sel
ma, Ala., it reaches your table one day after churning. It has
pleased our customers better than any other butter we ever
handled. Per pound, 49e.
