Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. 19.-The house
Of representatives will next week be
the stage Of one of the most interest
ing legislative battles ever staged in
North Dakota, when III. B. No. A, by
which the Nonpartisan league hopes to
give the state a new constitution, will
be brought before the lower house OF
the assembly for adoption.
Present plans of the state affairs
committee Of the house will bring the
measure back to the house tomorrow,
on a report that probably will carry
no recommendation. Several amend
ments will be offered with the bill
when it is reported in, and 1t will then
automatically go to general orders, to
be considered In the committee of the
whole house.
In the ordinary course OF procedure,
the bill would come on for considera-

probabilities are that the fight will

In closing his address the speaker said
that the recent move toward reducing
the sciences and engineering at the
college is a menace and should not
be tolerated by the people OF tha state.

closed his address with a number OF
emphasized points. He said:
From what 1 have already said it
would seem that it is questionable
whether there would be seven official
grades Of wheat, as now customary, or
ten as the chamber of commerce list
gives. Would not three grades serve
better the purpose and protect equal
ly as well the interests Of all parties,
farmers, millers and consumers?
Il have been informed by former
resident OF Russia that in southern
Russia in the wheat growing section,
when he was a resident there, only
two grades of wheat were recognize

in price never exceeded, to his knowI-
edge, 6 cents, in American money, and
sometimes not more than cents. Why

CAMOUFLAcE is ANCIENT ART
Expert Tells Artists Trojan Horse Was
an Early ExampIe-Used
in Civil War.

Ne& York.-Camouf1age is ages old,
Maximilian Toch, adviser to the United
States government in the art, told a
meeting of artists and architects here.
sIt saw it's birth in the day Of the an
cients," he said.
"You all know how the Greeks cap
tured Troy by the strategy Of conceal
ing warriors in the wooden horse.

too, in Macbeth Confederate SOL
diers in the Civil war were camou-
flaged by their uniforms of gray that
blended with the dust of highways"
Mr.. Toch explained.
The artist explained that he and a
staff of fellow-workers have been max
ing visible objects as nearly invisible
as possible. He said one important
center was camouhaged only after 80
experienced men had worked four
weeks.

Kaiser Sends Conscripts Abroad
Before Entering Into AC-
tive Service.
CUT DOWN RATI0NS At HOME
Germans Take Food From Invaded
Territory and Export it to Scan.
dinavia to Keep Up Pretense
Of Shipping Food.

London.-New information of high
ly interesting character concerning
German food supplies has been obtain
ed. Submarine crews are now the best
fed of any of the fighting men in the
whole German service. This, has been
ordered to attract men to it.
At the same time it is Germany's
intention to do most Of its submarine
recruiting among the men of its mer-
chant marine service because OF the
high mortality in the undersea work
and the necessity of saving the regular
naval officers and men for the high
seas feet.
Food camoufage.
IL order to send per cent OF Ger
manys foodstuffs to Denmark and
Sweden, this amount, it is stated, is
being withdrawn from persons in occu-
pied territories. 1t is considered vital
ly necessary as propaganda that Ger
many should be able to make pre-
tense of sending food outside.
To help counterbalance this expor-
tation, it is known that in recent
months Germany has been sending
considerable number of conscripts into
neutral countries to fatten up, prelim-
mary to active service.
The shortage in food in many big
manufacturing centers has led to the
return home of many highly skilled
Dwch and scandinavian workmen, de-
spite high wages offered. Others pc
riodically so home to put in few
weeks on better rations, returning
again to obtain the higher wages.
The latest food statistics from Ger
many, which cover a period from Au-
gust to the present time, indicate that
new flour was placed in market IN
Berlin during August, whereas a year
ago it wasn't done until November.
This was imperative because of the
shortness of the potato crop in some
sections. Seven pounds weekly is the
flour ration now, as compared with
ten and half pounds last year.
There has been a heavy increase
in the price of condensed milk through
out Germany since August.
Causing Night Blindness.
The dearth of fodder is the most
dangerous aspect of the food situa-
ton because Germany is trying to
maintain a large amount Of live stock.
The ration has now been reduced from
25O grams to 200 and $50.
Germany's leading medical men are
now more frank than ever before IN
statements that malnutrition, if con-
tinued long, will mean the elimination
of the weakest and explain that night
blindness is the disease now spreading
in the fatherland just as it did IN
the wake of the famine in early Pc
RODS of history.
Neutral doctors testify to the In
crease in cases Of perforation of the
intestines as result of the lack OF
food. A report just issued by insur-
ance companies declares malnutritlon
is exceeded only by military service as
the cause of the greatest number OF
deaths.
