The service is voluntary but it Is
believed that no patriotic person
seeking success for this Nation IN the
great war will fail to observe these
new requests.
"The increasing gravity of the
world food situation has caused the
administration to ask for greater saw
ing on the part of the American peo-
pie. The meat supply of Europe is
at its lowest ebb, as is the supply OF
sugar. The pork situation in this
country is such that even the plans
of the Government for feeding our
own soldiers is being jeOpardized.
Wheat is in the greatest demand and
the surplus supply has been exhaust
ed.
Help Of All Persons Needed.
Success in the war will come only
from well-fed, well-cared-for and
efficient fighting forces and we can
not permit our own Armies and
those of our Allies to become weak
and inefficient through gluttony, self
ishness and wilful wasting of food on
our part. We must do everything
that is within our power here at home
so that the men who are on the
French front may not suffer through
our neglect. The Federal Food Ad-
for Missouri feels conf
dent that the new requests of the
national administrator will be OBJ
served religiously by every patriotic
The new instructions are to be dis
tributed through the county food ad-
of the state to every
home in Missouri as a supplement
to the Home Card" issued during the

FOOD CRISIS CALLS
FOR MORE ECONOMY
Hoover Urges 7 Wheatless
Meals and Porkless Day
Each Week.
CRISIS VERY GRAVE
Meat Supply of Europe Now
at Lowest Ebb-Sugar Is
Also Needed.

Seven wheatleSS meals eacn week,
in addition to "Wheatless Wednes-
day." one meatless meal day in ad-
dition to "Meatless Tuesday" one
"Porkless Day" each week on Satur-
day and an increased conservation OF
sugar are the requests Of the United
States Food Administration for the
observation of the people Of Missouri
and other states to alleviate the in
creased gravity of the food situation,
an announcement of the Federal Food
Administration for Missouri yesterday
declared.
"The wheatless meals and day must
mean entirely wheatless," the an
nouncement continued. "The wheat
which is to be exported to our men
in France and to our Allies must now
come from that part of our supply
which is conserved by the people,
since our exportable surplus and sew
eral million more bushels have al
ready gone across.
Saturday TO Be POrkless.
"Meatless means to eat no red
meat, such as beef, pork, mutton, veal
or lamb and no preserved meat-beef,
bacon. ham or lard. The world
shortage of pork and pork products,
which is becoming increasingly grave,
has caused the administration to ask
for the observation of a "Porkless
Day." which will be Saturday of each
week On This day no fresh or salt
pork, bacon, lard or ham is to be
used.
THE most material reduction Of
the consumption of sugar can be
made by a reduction of the amount of
candy and sweet drinks consumed.
This may be easily accomplished
without any attendant hardships or
additional sacrifices. Every en-
deavor is to be made to see that the
country is provided with supply
of household sugar on the basis Of
three pounds of sugar for each per-
son per month. Individual consump-
ton should be guarded SO that no
more than this amount will be con-
sumed.
Supplies Scarce I'm Europe.
"The request from the United
States Food Administration is made
not only to those who have signed the
food pledge in the state but to every
man, woman and child in Missouri.

U-BOAT ACTIVITIES
LARGELY REDUCED
Effect Shown of CamoufIage,
Ship Conveyance and Alert
ness of Observation.
U. S. NAVYs PART IN WAR

> Camou1age, conveyance and alert
ness of observation have reduced to
less than one-half of 1 per cent the
loss of merchant vessels from German
U-boat activities. Unless the record
shows some unexpected increase of
submarine destructiveness not success
fully met by these measures. officials
of the government are well content.
Conveying of the American feet of
merchantmen to European ports has
proven eminently satisfactory. Ameri-
can warships make the ocean journey
with the ship they convoy and are met
by warships of the allies for the travel
through the forbidden zones. The use
of smoke screens. kite balloons and
other detection devices also has seemed
to give an increased measure of safety.
Progress is being made with the re-
duction of smoke from merchantmen
and by painting ships to make them
almost invisible al a distance through

ing out British admiralty orders.
DIR. Lundbohm denied a published re-

although before his departure he had
asked permission OF the British and
American legation to do so.
The pouches. he added. addressed to

were sealed and placed in possession of

day he had notified the British and
American authorities at Stockholm that
he had been requested to take charge
of the pouches.

of the ship that a package of letters
was seized addressed to Swedish residents
in Australia, carried by Sigurt Goes
Swedish consul general in Sydney, re-
turning to his post
DR.. Lundbohm said he would go di-
rect to Washington. Before his depar-
ture he gave out the following state
nent in regard to the incident:
"a statement has been made to the
effect that diplomatic pouches on the
steamship Bergenefjord carried by
some members of the Swedish COM
nercial commission to the United States

that one of the pouches was intended

Coal bought by a railroad for it's own
use as fuel from wagon mine may
be sold at the Presidents price, plus a
sum representing the cost of hauling.
eff the claim is made that any spe-
cific coal has been acquired by the
dealer in accordance with n bona fide
contract. enforceable at law, existing
prior to the date of the order of the
President applicable thereto. the bur-
den of proof is upon the dealer and

The effect of the Presidents proc

proclamation was issued is to be de-
cided by first ascertaining whether OF
not the title had passed from the opera :

Presidents proclamation became effec-
tive.
