HAMILTON MILL
TO BE REBUILT
IS WORD GIVEN
Loss orr Cereal Plant Not as
Heavy as Reports at
First Indicated.

Hamilton, May s.-(Special.)-The
plant of the Ravalli Cereal and Flour
company, which was destroyed by fire
yesterday evening, was not, as first re-
ported. a total loss. In the hysteria Of
the moment the lapsing of $4,000
worth of grain in surance was confused
with the total insurance on the mill.
The plant carried about $4,000 worth
of insurance. No figures as to the
total loss are yet available, as the in
surance adjusters have not arrived.
1t is more than likely that the mill
will be rebuilt at once, although the
owners did not care to give out any
thing definite on it today. The CON-
panys business had been steadily in
creasing and the plant was being en-
larged to meet the growing demand fol
its product. So we'll established is its
brand that in all probability it will bt
reconstructed.
Twenty thousand bushels of grair
were in the elevator at the time o
the fire and this is not a total loss
even though the insurance had eN
pired. The top of the grain was badl!
scorched. but part Of it can be used

SUBMARINES ARE
BEING SUPPLIED
FROM u. S. PORTS
Government Sitting Rumors
Coming in Dispatches
From Porto Rico.

Washington, May S--Persistent ru-
south Atlantic We're given additional
color today when it was disclosed that
government investigating agencies are
running down a story that freightcrs of
the Dherican transatlantic company
flying the American flag, have carried
supplies to sea for U-boats
Officials would not go into details,
but 1t was assumed that the report
probably came from the crew of the
steamer ManitoWoc, quoted in news
dispatches from Porto Rico today as
charging that the Manitowoc and other
transatlantic company vessels had
trans shipped to German submarines
at sea quantities Of food and fuel
smuggled out of New York.
Officials declined to comment upon
the news dispatch from San Juan or
on statements by the transatlantic
company officials in New York, char
acterizing the story told by the Mani
towocs crew as fictitious.
In many quarters the indication was
to regard the report as merely anothe +
of the crop of unfounded rumors cur
rent here since the visit of the U-S3
to Newport. Some naval officials, on
the other hand, have not concealed
their belief that German submarines
and raiders have been supplied from
this side of the Atlantic.

.EATLESS DAYS
ARE RENoUNCED

London, May S.-Great Britian's
meatless day is to be abolished be-
cause it augments the demand on
breadstuffs and other substitutes,
which are less plentiful than meat.
This was announced today by Barron
Devonport, the food controller, in the
house of lords. He declared that Il
dimunition in the consumption OF
breadstuffs was OF vital moment and
a main factor in the situation.
The food controllers pronouncement
was made in answer to a question by
Baron Buckmaster. who asked if the
government could make any statement
regarding the position of food sup
plies and whether the government pro-
posed to take any immcdte steps to
make certain that such supplies should
be equally distributed among all classes
of the population.
