No Move Made Here
ToLimit Activities
Of City's Germans

Much as Washington officials may
appreciate the danger Of German
spies, no move has yet been made to
limit the activities Of any Of the lOO,-
600 Germans in New York City.
Immediately after war was declared,
on April 6, the President by proclama-
ton decreed that only such Germans
as might be given permits would be
permitted in certain well defined
zones--those near forts. arsenals.
naval vessels. stations and munitions
factories. In New York the forbidden
zones were declared TO be one-half
mile about any armory and the entire
waterfront. All Germans wishing 20
reside or enter into any Of these zones,
except piers and docks, from which all
were 20 be barred. were called upon 20

Empress of Austria
irving to Aid France

London, July 7.-According 70 the
"Dailv EXPRESS" a personal friend OF
the Empress Zita, Of Austria, has in
formed certain members Of the House
Of Commons that the Empress is ex-
erting herself strongly in the interests
Of France.
She is credited with sufficient in
fuence over Emperor Charles TO in
duce him TO try 10 withdraw from the
Austro- Hungarian alliance with Ger
many az soon as Austr!a-Hungary Is
enabled to take such action.
Amsterdam. July 7.-According TO a
telegram 20 Dutch newspapers from
Vienna. steps have been taken 70 grant
q complete amnesty TO Or. harl hahiaIH

of the Czech party in the hungatia
Parliament. who have been undergoing
sentences for treason. Both will be
released, but will not be allowed IL
Vienna nor permitted 20 attend INC
summer session of the Hungarian far,
lament. Also they are pronloited
from living in Prague.
The amnesty decree of Emperor
Charles of Austria will mean the re-
lease Of $4,000 persons, according to
Vienna advices to the "Lokal An
zeieer" of Berlin, copy of which has
been received here The dispatch adds
that a series of contingent amnesty
acts will follow soon, providing that a
number of persons who were con-
demned under other paragraphs of the
military code will be released.
Advices received here from other
sources tell of vigorous protests
against the decree Of amnesty, and
expresses establishment and dismay ut
this farreachinC disavowal Of the "stcte
idea" These protests evidently ema-
nate from German circles in Austria.

the United States as ten years. In his
letter, Il will be noticed, he says that
from 1890 until August. 1914, he was
manager of the London Office Of his

It will be noticed, also, that Mr.
Schreiner does not deny that his com
pany reinsured munitions plants. He
says only that he asked his friends not
TO interest the company in such plants
where it was possible to avoid doing so.
There is nothing said, however about
insurance on plants making range find
ers for the navy, boots and other cloth
ing for the army, chemicals for the
use of powder plants or machinery for

THE PRICE OF BREAD
HAS ITS FIRST DROP

Bread prices in Portland will take
their first tumble since the cost Of
living began striving for an altitude
record simultaneously with the declar-
alton of the war. The announcement
comes from one of the largest compan-
les that the present standard loaf of
IN ounces will 60 on sale this morning
at 8 cents. Ten cents has been the
charge up to this time.
H. F. Rittman, head of the Log
Cabin Baking Company announced the
reduction. 1t is understood that the
Portland Master Bakers Association
has had similar action under consider
alton. and it is predicted that there
will be a uniform cut to 8 cents within
the next few days.
Since the price of wheat was estab-
lished by the food administration flour
has been reduced and a lowering in the
price of bread has been expected. That
an increase in the size of the loaf which
| is to sell at cents may be the next
step is the statement of Portland bak-
ers. This, they say, will follow if the
Government fixes the price Of other
commodities that go into bread manu-
| facture.
"Now, since the Government has set
the price of wheat and flour, the baker
knows how much he can give for the
money" said Mr.. Rittman. Although
the food administration has not laid
down the rules for the bakers up to this
time. we are anxious to do all in our
power to relieve the situation. at least
temporarily.
"The 8 cent loaf will weigh full 10
ounces baked, and the same standard
will be maintained in its production al
when the loaf sold for 10 cents

DRAFT MACHINERY
IS MADE SIMPLER

A sweeping change in the machinery
of the selective draft. based on division
of the 10000 remaining registrants
into five classes in the order of their
eligibility for military service, is an
nounced by Provost Marshal General
Crowder. Details of the plan, which
have been approved by President Will
son, are not disclosed. 1t is calculat-
| ed, however, to do away with virtually
all the complicated machinery of the
first draft and to make the operations
Of the local boards hereafter little more
than rubber stamp proceedings.
The plan was worked out at confer
ences with local and district board off
cials and approved by the various state
authorities. Its chief features are that
every registered man will know his
exact position and be able to arrange
his affairs accordingly and that no man
| deemed necessary in any important in
dustry or needed at home to support
his family will be called to the colors
unless the military situation is desper-
| ate.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
| issued this statement:
with the completion Of the draft
of the first Army of 1870 men a
new system will be installed for the
creation of succeeding armies which
will greatly lessen the labors of the
local and district boards. So far has
this been accomplished that it is believ-
ed that under the new system 80 per
cent of the work will be eliminated
while the forms to be useo will not ex-
ceed 20 in number as compared with
approximately 1872 forms which the
present system requires.
"Along with the reduction Of labor
there will be provided system which
will classify each one of the 5000, 900
of men who have not yet been inductet
into military service, and each mar
will have been given bis place in thu
National scheme of defense.
"To do this it has been determined
to obtain from each man complete in
formation of a character which viii
definitely fix his economic worth a

and from the information thus obtain
ed, 10 place him in one of the fiy
classes, each to be called in turn as tn
