lMO HELMSMAN HELD AS SPY
His Ship Ran Into Munition Vessel
Causing Halifax Disaster.

Halifax, N. S., Dec. 15.-John Jo-
hansen, helmsman on the Norwegian
steamer limo, the Belgian relief ship,
whose collision with the ammunition
steamer Mont Blanc led to the disaster

turned over to military authorities by
officials of the Massachusetts Relief
hospital, where he has been under
treatment.
+ One of the nurses at the hospital
yesterday noticed that her patient
was acting queerly and that he did
not seem to be wounded. Physicians
examined him and concluded he was
shamming illness. Later Johansen
offered a nurse $50 if she would go
out and buy him a newspaper, the as
sumption being that he had in mind
an attempt to escape in her absence.

Further Conservation Is Neces'
/. sary to Save World From
Starvation, Is Word.
SACRIFICES PROPOSED
Starvation on Unparalleled Scale
Must Ensue Unless They Are
Made, Food Administrator
Declares in Statement.

Washington, Dec. 15.--In a state
ment just made public by the food adj
administration the American people are
before contemplated.
Unless such sacrifices are made
starvation on an unparalleled scale
must ensue throughout the world,
Herbert Hover declares.
The new program of food saving
for America as announced includes
the following:
Some of Proposals.
A sugar ration of three pounds for
each person 4 month; porkless day
each week; one Wheatless meal each
day; one meatless meal each day.
To bring the appeal directly home
to the American people the food adj
ministration will issue kitchen card
which it is hoped will be placed in
every home. The cards will caution
against boarding foodstuffs, as it de-
feats the purpose of the food admin
istration, Is selfish and causes higher
prices.
Would Cut sugar HaIr.
It was pointed out that if the new
directions are followed sugar con-
sumption will be reduced by half. The
norma! consumption of sugar in the
United States has been more than
seven pounds month
The following appeal, a copy OF
which will accompany each card, has
been issued:
"The food situation in Europe is
far graver than when the preliminary
survey of the food supply of the
world for this year was made. We
have an abundance for ourselves and
it is the policy of the food administra-
ton, by the prevention of exports, to
retain for our people an ample supply
of every essential foodstuff.
Allies Harvests Fall Down.
THE harvests of our Allies have
proved less than we had cOntem-
plated and the great curtailment OF
shipping by the submarine during the
last few months has further prevent
ed them from access to remote mar
ketS.
Beyond the demands of the Allies
there is call upon us by the friendly
neutrals for food and if we cannot, at
least in part, respond to these neutra!
calls starvation on an unparalleled
scale must ensue.
Food has taken a dominant posi-
ton in the war and we must ask the
American people to sacrifice far more
than we at first thought necessary.
We have exported the whole of the
surplus of wheat from this harvest
after reserving to ourselves all
amount sufficient for our noraml con-
sumption of seed and flour until the
next harvest and therefore the
amount of wheat flour that the United
States can contribute to mix with the
war bread of our Allies during the
winter will be simply the amount
that our people reduce their consump'
ton month by month";

U. S. Engineers Killed When
Teuton Aerial Attack Is Made
Behind British Lines.
ALLIES HOLDING FIRMLY

Attacks in Cambria Sector and
Around Verdun-TWo u. S.

With the American Army in France,
Dec. 15.-(By the Associated Press)-
German aerial bombs in a town some
where behind the German lines have
killed a number of American railway
engineers. Details are not yet
known.
It is now permitted to announce that
a German bomb fell in street in a
town through which American troops
were passing. Pieces of the bomb
shattered the windows of house in
which there were officers, showering
them with glass, but hurting no one-
Two American soldiers haye died in
hospital from gunshot wounds.
Allied Lines Holding.
London, Dec. 14.-The British,
French and Italian lines are still hold
ing firmly against onsloughts of the
Teutonic allies, delivered with heavy
reinforcements that have been drawn
from the Russian front since the cessa-
ton of hostilities there under the arm
istice.
The latest attack of the Germans,
made in the Cambria region between
Bullecourt and Queant was complete
failure when the Teuton losses in
men killed and made prisoners are
put in the balance with their small
gain of ground against the British.
French Repulse Crown Prince.
Another attack by the German
crown prince in the Caurieres-- wood
on the Verdun sector, which was de-
livered with large electives, has met
with the customary repulse while in
the highlands of the northern front
the enemy armies are still being held
in check by the Italians.
A most expensive operation was the
German attack between Bullecourt
and Qucant. The Berlin war office ad-
mits that only a few British shelters
and 80 prisoners were taken, while
Field Marshal Haig reports that heavy
casualties were inflicted on the enemy
all along the front of the offensive,
numerous of his dead being left before
the entanglements when the impossi-
Bile task of piercing the British lines
became apparent and hurried re-
treat was ordered.
