Drive For Renewed Food Conservation
tion Will Be Started In Arkan
sas Sunday, December 1.
Little Rock, Nov. 2b'.—Every man,
woman and child in A rkansas will be
asked by the United States Food Ad
ministration to participate in the
drive for renewed food conservation,
which begins Sunday, December 1,
and lasts until the following Satur
day, inclusive. That week will be
known as “World Relief Week,” dur
ing which time a most intensive ef
fort wll be made all over the United
States to impress upon the people of
the nation the necessity for greater
food saving than has ever been asked
of them.
The chief reason for summoning
the county food administrators to
Little Rock, wdiere a special session
will be held Wednesday, November
27, is to acquaint them with this pro
gram and give them details that will
assist in carrying out in their coun
try this important work. Franklin
W. Fort, of Herbert Hoover’s staff,
Washington, will address the meet
ing.
ouauajj ^ J
pulpit in the state will be read the
special message Mr. Hoover has ad
dressed to the Christian life of the
nation. The same message, together
with other features, will be taken up
by every woman’s club in Arkansas.
Their special day is Wednesday, De
cember 4. The following Friday an
other special program to be observed
in the schools of the state will re
ceive recognition, while every frater
nal society will also receive a copy
of the Hoover message, which will be
read at their meetings during the
week.
For the past two weeks the State
Food Administration has been busy
mapping out this campaigif. The
list of teachers and schools to whom
the school program will be sent num
bers over 12000. Every pastor in the
state, regardless of denomination,
together with Catholic priests, will
receive a copy of the message. All
fraternal organizations in the state
have forwarded to State Food Ad
ministrator Hamp Williams a list of
their lodges. They too, will get the
message. The Arkansas Federation
of Women’s clubs provided a list of
their organizations. No organiza
tion, whether it be church, school
fraternal or social, white or black,
will be overlooked.
During the week of December 1 to
7, according to the program, meet
ings will be held in every county in
the state. From headquarters in this
city speakers will be sent out to as
sist in delivering the message. Coun
ty Food Administrators will also
make addresses. In other words, it
is planned to set Arkansas on fire
with this “drive,” which, free from
any request from money, comes to
the people on the higher plane of sac
rifice, appealing to the conscience of
the people to save food in order that
millions may not starve.
“We have never had anything quite
as important as this,” said State j
Food Administrator Hamp Williams, j
“Arkansas has always been at the'
top of the list in food conservation, j
and during the week set aside for the !
message on “World Relief Week” I
want every church, school, fraternal
society and woman’s club, wdiite or I
black, to meet for the purpose of j
hearing this message and to then and |
there solemnly resolve that they will
in this most important work, as they
have in all else their government has
asked, pledge their full support in j
the wonderful effort to save millions |
from starvation.”

Director of Publicity, U. S. Food Ad- [
ministration for Arkansas.

SUMMARY OF
A Total Of 36,154 Americans Were
Killed While Expeditionary
Forces Were In France.
(By The Associated Press.)
Washington, Nov. 23.—Total cas
ualties among the American expedi
tionary forces up to the signing of [
the armistice are divided as follows:
Killed and died of wounds, 36,154.
Died of disease, 13,811.
Died of other causes, 2,204.
Wounded, 179,625.
Prisoners, 2,163.
Missing, 1,160.
General March, chief of staff, to
day said American forces in France
took more than 44,000 German pris
oners and 1,400 guns. He said the
casualties among the American
forces in Russia have not been severe.
CASUALTY LISTS
WILL BE REPORTED
SEVERAL DAYS YET.
The casualty lists from the com
manding general of the American ex
peditionary forces will probably ap
pear in print two or three weeks
longer before all of them are report
ed. The nearest relative of a soldier
is notified by wire of anything se
rious that happens to him at least
three weeks- before the casualty is
published in the newspapers.
In all probability it is safe to say
that relatives have already begn not
ified of the casualties that will be
published during the coming weeks.

BAKER AAAI JAKE
OVER RAILROADS
In Connection With His Cabinet Posi- i
tion, To Succeed Secretary Mc
Adoo Who Has Resigned.
(By The Associated Press.)
Washington, Nov. 23.— The an
nouncement late yesterday that Wm. ,
G. McAdoo had resigned as secretary ;
of the treasury and director general ^
of railroads took official Washington
so completely by surprise that there
is little speculation even today as to
his successor. It is not known whe
ther the president will fill the offices
separately. I
In some quarters it is thought the
president might decide to make some
other cabinet member head of rail
roads. In such an event it is con
sidered likely the place will go to
Secretary Baker, Postmaster General
Burleson or Secretary Lane. Should
the president go outside the cabinet
the name of Walker D. Hines, assist
ant director general, is mentioned.
For the treasury and secretaryship
the names of John Skelton Williams,
comptroller of currency, W. P. G.
Hardiqg, governor of the federal re
serve board, Russell G. Leffingwell,
assistant secretary of the treasury,
and Paul Walburg of New York are
mentioned.
McAdoo gave the necessity of re
plenishing his personal fortune as the
reason for his resignation.
Now after a long vacation let’s all
go to Sunday school and church Sun
day. Try reading the church an
nouncements today.
