London. Feb. 23.--It Is quite possible
that the American steamers Rochester
and Orleans may escape German sub
marines on their way thru the barred
zone from New York to Bordeaux, says
the Lokal Anzeiger but America should
not rely upon their doing so.
In Berlin political circles, the cor
respondent Of the Exchange Telegraph
Company adds, it is believed the sub
marine commanders have been in
structed not to sink these American
ships.

WOMEN MAY NOT PARADE.
Wilson Union Leader Rolled BY Bar
ring State Floats.

Washington, Feb. pa controversy
over what part women shall take in the
inauguration ceremonies came to head
tonight with an announcement by Mrs.
James Fl. Boggs, president of the Wom-
ems Wilson Union and member Of the
inaugural COMMITTEES, that because of a
ruling barring from the inaugural pa
fade section Of state floats being Or
ganized under her direction she had de-
clared "the withdrawal of all women
from the parade"
Robert N. Harper. chairman of the
committee. replied to the announcement
with the statement that Mrs. Boggs had
no authority to declare such with
drawal. He said women were wanted
in the parade, and that the state floats
had been barred only because the plans
for them were in so uncertain a stage
that he feared they could not be COM
pleted in time to conform to the COM
mittee's standards.
The decision to withdraw, Mrs. Boggs
declared, had the Endorsement Of the ex-
ecutive board Of the Wilson union, in
cluding the wives of many senators and
representatives and other public Off.
cials and would receive the backing
also Of millions Of women thruout the
country.
Although she would not add to her
statement, Mrs. Boggs indicated clear
ly that it only feebly expressed her in
dignation over the incident, and that
the women Of the union might have
something more to say on the subject
later. Mr.. Harper declared there never
had been such an organization as a
women's division of the inaugural COM
mittee, and intimated that he would
take no further notice of Mrs. Boggs
announcement.
"No one except Maj. Gen. Scott, who
is grand marshal. and myself has au-
thority to say who shall or shall not
| take part in the parade" Mr.. Harper
said. 1--WE want women to participate
provided only that they conform to the
same requirements that are laid down
for the men,"
The suggestion that a number of his.
torical floats. representing the states
be organized, was made several weeks
ago. the chairman said. and he desig-
mated Mrs. Boggs to carry out the idea
il she could do 80 according to parade
requirements,

BRITAIN MOVES TO PREVENT STARVATION

guarantee the farmer the following
minimum prices per quarters:
For the present year, so shillings;
for 1918 and 1919, 55 shillings; 1920
to 1922, As shillings. Brewing will
be cut down to 10,000,00O pounds an
nually. A similar reduction will be
made in the output of spirits.
The Importation Of aeraeted mineral
and table water will be prohibited.
Power will be given the board Of agrt-
culture to compel land owners to cul-
tivate their ground. Minimum farm
labor wages of 25 shillings a week
represents from so to 80 per cent in
crease.
The importation Of paper must be
curtailed by $4,000 pounds annually.
The plemer said the government
would guarantee S6 shillings for oats
this year, 32 shillings for the next two
years, and 2S shillings for the follow
ing four years. The price of potatoes
would be guaranteed to be 6 pounds
per ton.
Paper Imports Cut in Half.
In announcing the decision to re-
strict the importation Of paper, Mr..
Lloyd George said the government had
arrived at the conclusion that very
substantial reduction was necessary
and the amount would be cut tofhalf
what Is now allowed. This would re-
duce the allowance to $4,000 tons.
All essential articles Of food, he
continued, would be on the free list.
but certain articles would be reduced
or prohibited. The stoppage of the
importation Of tea, coffee and cocoa
for the time being was due to the fact
that large supplies were on hand The
premier said he regretted very much
the cutting off Of certain luxuries
which came from France and Italy.
These restrictions would be imposed
Immediately. said the premier. The
restrictions had been carefully consid-
cred and he asked the house to take
them as a whole.
To Face the Worst.
The premier declared he had not the
slightest doubt that if the whole pro-
gram were carried out and that If all
those who could help in production did
help, Il can honestly say we can face
the worst the enemy can do. and that
Is what wes hould be prepared to do.
In dealing with the question of pro-
duction the premier said:
Then there Is the question of our
home supplies Of food. I want the
country to know that at present our
food stock is low. 1t is not due to the
activity Of submarines but to poor
harvest. There are still few weeks
to sow spring wheat, oats and barley.
The government proposes to guaran-
tee the farmer af minimum price for a
definite period, while minimum wage
Of rs shillings weekly will be fixed for

Lumber From France.
The premier said 1t was necessary
to get rs much work as possible out
Of the ship yards, not merely for the
|, mercantile marine but to build boats
to cope with the submarine. Timbel
amounting to $4,000 tons had to be
importde, he said, and to meet this it
| was necessary to conserve all timber
in England.
1t was proposed to make the army
in France self-supporting. The French
government, he said, had placed two
| forests at the disposal Of Great Brit
ain and he was afraid the government
| must make further sacrifices.
