EAMAN MAN POWER BEING
SAPPED. BAKER DECLARES
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—~Declar
ing that “the weeck just closed has
been one very favorable to the Allied
arms.,” Becretary 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 t~nfimy‘
forces—the slow, yet relentless sap
ping of the man power by continued
and sudden offensive (hrustn—‘wh!(-h‘
must eventually result in the soften
ing of his line in the west. This I 8
the ultimate objective of the series of
intensive offensives so successfully
pursued by the Allles in the past six
months, and is even more important
than the gain in territory.”
The complete review as made pub
le by the Secretary is as follows:
“The week just closed has been one
very favorable to the Allied armlies.
“The success of the British offen
silve in the region of Cambral and
the steady resistance of the Italians
in the face of repeated attacks of the
Austro-German forces are two factors
which may be considered as corela
tive elements of one and the same
movement.
: 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
found thempselves in the west,
‘“Phe German higher command was
apparently confident that, in order to
save Italy from invasion, such im-
Bortant contingents of ¥rench and
ritish troops would be detached from
the western front as to render any
further Allled offensives in this the
ater impossible,
“Though the French and British
have both dispatched large contin
gents to Italy, this has in no way
hampered the continuance of their of
fensive operations.
“It !s the wastage of the enemy
forces, 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.
“This is the ultimate objective of
the series of Intensive offensives lo’
successfully pursued by the Allies in
the past six months, and is even more
fmportant than the gain of terrain. |
“The military situation is dominated
by the spectacular success gained byl
the British forces in their thrust to
ward Cambrai. l
“By adopting new tactical methods,
by evolving a strategy daringly con- |
ceived and brilliantly executed, the
British forces have been able to record
a greater sucaess, when measured by
captured terrain, than any hlthortoi
achieved by either belligerent in the
::e space of time along the western
~ k.
Haig's Success. 1
“While seemingly continuing his
. offensive engagementg in Flanders by
intensive artillery bombardment In
. the sector -tretchinf from Ypres to
the North Sea, Field Marshal Haig
~was able to mask successfully his
plang for an offensive thrust between
the Scarpe River and St. Quentin,
“The usual preliminary artillery
preparation was dispensed with. The
elements of surprise so essential to
victory placed a large part in the
successes gained.
“The British, by a preponderant
numerical superiority in men and ma
mby m.;mpro:llun( tthe skillful
euvering of an unusual
number of tanks, and by co-ordinat
ing with precision the deployment of
cavalry, made use of these two arms
t 0 bear the brunt of the encounter.
Infantry then was called upon to hold
and consolidate the terrain gained.
Thus the British were able to record
. l“il:.do‘luceeu with very ‘nn
#0oNo! ammunitions, and slight
*u-wu'n "
“Three successive lines of German
defenses on a frontage of six miles
astride the Cambral-Bapaume road
were captured and the Scheldt canal
in front of Cambrai was crossed.
“The first day of the battle dry
weather greatly facilitated operations,
: aln at dawn November 20,
s weather set in and torren
> rains, accompanied by flurries of
snow, held up the attack.
Capture of Villages.
*“The capture of the village of Fon
taine Notre Dame, two and three
gflu‘ miles west of Cambral, marks
-R‘unt limit of the advance.
e British forces, while press
ing forward, are meeting with in
creased resistance,
Bevere flshtlnt continues, and we
may expect desperate attempts on the
part of the enemy not merely to pre
vent any further British advance, but
10 regain, if possible, some of the
lost ground.
“Cambral, the cefter of very im
’-'tl.n“tmr:’l:.’orocd and canal lines of
comm n, now comes under the
immediate fire of the British fleld
mfille the large caliber high ve
and naval guns can readily

Without Annexation
(By International News Service.)
ZURICH, Nov, &I.—-—Hunnry is ready
to make pesce without any o,nnonélonl.
This declaration came today from Count
Karolyl, famous Hunmflm statesman,
who is now in Switzérland on A peace
mission. The Hungarian peace agent
has been trying to get In touch with
representatives of the entente powers
for ths purgo« of furthering the peace
movement, he sald.
THANKSGIVING BULLETIN,
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
oceasion may still be preserved. In faet, 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 eostly 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. .
All of our stores will remain closed tll!ny'l‘hsnh
giving. In order to be able to do this, they will be open
on Wednesday night until 9 o’clock, so t{tt all of our
patrons may be served.
SOMETHING ABOUT BREAD-—You chould remember to buy
a two-deys’ supply on account of Thursday's closing. Our Quality
Loaf {8 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, 10c. Our Double Loaf contains 16
ounces, price 7e.
ARE YOU A CRANK ABOUT FLOUR?—Many of the best
cooks are hard to please when it comes 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 eges con
sumed at thig 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 you to believe them. Our price on No. 1 lto}age
eggs, dozen, 39¢.
THE FRESHEST CREAMERY BUTTER sold in Atlanta to
day is Velvet, which is 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
