SURVIVORS OF kOTAHiRA MARU REACH QUEEN CHARLOTTE
 ISLANDS
By Associated Press.

BY RSSOCiatcu TTe5S.
 VANCOUVER, Sept. 1S.-A life boat containing the last of the sur vivors of the wrecked Japanese steamer Kotahira Maru has arrived at the Queen Charlotte Islands after crossing wide section of the North Pacific.
 Advices reaching here today say that Capt. Ioga and sixteen members of the crew of the wrecked steamer have been picked up on the shore of one of the Queen Charlotte group after drifting in the waters of the Pacific for more than six weeks.
 But for the fact that the long miss ing lifeboat was well provisioned be- fore leaving the Kotahira Maru. at the point where the vessel went ashore on one of the Aleutian islands the crew would undoubtedly have perished. As it was the men suffer ed terribly before reaching the Charlotte group, owing to the ex- haustion of their provisions and water supplies.
 During the intervening weeks since their vessel went ashore, the surviv- ors have been struggling against ad- verse weather to reach the main Alaska coast.

 BREAD AND FLOUR CARDS
By Associated Press.

ROME Sept. 13-A royal edit is sued today announces that bread and four cards will be necessitated during the coming winter, owing to the ser ious shortage in world food supplies.
 The government, the statement says anticipates that supplies will be dim- cult to secure in anything like quan- titles formerly obtained because of the serious curtailment in world produc- tion. Hence 1t is deemed necessary to adopt enforced conservation, which will be secured by instituting the card system of distribution of bread and four supplies.
 The order will go into effect through out Italy on October II.

INDIANAPOLIS. April 12.-One of
the recommendations of the Indiana
committee on food production and con
servation. Just made to Governor Good
rich, in the campaign for increased
production of food crops. is that the
governor send request to all boards
OF county commissioners and city au-
thorities in the state asking them to
postpone all road work, street work
are employed and allow such work to
remain abandoned until after corn and
other crops have been planted. The
committee, which is in fact the state
board of Defense takes the position
that the raising of increased crops is
IN the state at this time and that
every team available should be set to
work plowing farm land for corn and
other crops. The governor VIII follow
the recommendation and send the re-
quest to the proper authorities in all
cities and counties.
A proposition to ask the government
TO exempt from military service all
farm young men who stay at home and
raise crops met with such strong op-
position when it was mentioned that
the subject was dropped. Several
members af the committee said they
we're not in favor Of asking the gov
ernment to exempt any particular class
OF men from active military service.

SPECIAL
SESSION Of
LEGISLATURE.
TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL

INDIANAPOLIS. April 12.=There is
considerable quiet talk here about the
| possibility of a special session of the
Indiana Legislature. but nothing Of
ficial has been given out on the sub
Ject. Persons who are close to the
powers in the state house say that If
special session is called it will be
for the purpose Of war legislation, pri-
marily. The state of Indiana is cal
led upon to make considerable expend-
iture Of money in connection with war
preparations, mobilization of farm
ing and crops and other things, and
noney viii be needed for these pur-
poses
During the civil war Governor Nor
ton took "the buIl by the horns" and
contracted heavy Indebtedness for the
state Tor war purposes. pledging the
state to meet the obligations and the
next succeeding legislature met all of
these debts. There are some who ex-
press The belief that a similar policy
nigh be adopted this time. but it is
quietly talked around that a special
session may be called instead to make
provisions for whatever the state may
need.
1t is the belief of some also that il
Ia sreCial session of the legislature is
held Governor Goodrich will make an
other effort to pass the excise tax bill,
which was defeated. at the recent reg
ular session.
