TO NATIONS PRESS
Some News Previously With

Washington, Dec. s0.-Revised regu-
lations or requests to guide the Amer

were issued tonight by the committee
on public information to become eff
fective January 1. Several important
changes have been made, representing
the lessons learned by the committee

June.
Three OF the original requests to
which special Importance was attached
and under which loyal newspapers

withdrawn entirely. They are the re-
quests that nothing be published to
disclose the names of line officers or
individual units of the eNpcditionary
forces, tending to disclose the identity
of American merchant ships and their
crews defending themselves against
submarines or giving information OF
dry docks and repair and construction

British Labor Finds it Hard
to Get Some Things.

London. Dec. 30.-The demand made
by the labor convention that the gov
eminent secure a more equitable dis
tribution OF foodstuffs arose from the
constantly growing difficulty experi-
enccd, especially by the poorer classes,
i'm obtaining a few staple articles. No
difficulty. has yet been experienced in
obtaining bread. which. under the gov
eminent subsidy system. is the cheap
est food on the market.
Potatoes and fresh vegetables are
also plentiful and comparatively cheap
while meat, although less plentiful
than formerly, still is in fair supply
and at prices ranging below those OF
a few months ago. This is que also
to government control.
The articles most difficult to obtain
causing quite scandal. are tea, put
ter, lard and margarine. 1t is almost
