Immediately there was an outcry frcm
the audience.
How" they shouted, tell us how"
How" replied Wiley, like this, Eat
ono pound of wheat, or corn, two pota-
toes and drink one pint of milk. These
foods will givo you all the ncurishment
a man needs and can probably be OBJ

Then some one IN the audience NUT

Doctor Wiley then urged an "eatless
day" as means of cutting down the
high cost of living and conserving food
The high price of milk, he said, Is
due TO transportation cost, which could

ARREST MAY SOLVE
AMMUNITION MYSTERY
German-American Accused of
Spelling Shells Sent to
Pershing's Army

An important arrest, which Depart
ment of'Justice agents say may help to
reveal why ammunition sent recently
to General Pershing's army in France
was defective. has been made in this city
by Government agents.
The prisoner is William Lepkouski. a
German-American, of 2641 orthodox
street, formerly employed at the Frank
'ord Arsenal.
More arrests are expected in the case
today, according to Special Agent Gar
barino who believes that widespread
plot was on foot to spoil ammunition.
T.cpkouski admitted, the agents say. that
he inserted fuses into shells IN an I'M
proper manner. He was arraigned be-
fore United states Commissioner How
ard NJ. Long and held in $4,000 bail on
he technical charge of defrauding the
Government.
Lepkouski was employed at the ar.
email until June 81, making fuses for
three and six inch shells. which were
sent abroad to the American eXpedi.
ionary forces. Many of these were
'ound to be defective, and since that
irne Garbarino and his men have been
IT work on the case.
Garbarino said that Lepkouski when
lrraigned confessed that he had failed
to wrap the fuses in paper, as is nee.
essary to preserve them. He said that
| he had talked with Lepkouski and
| that the prisoner said another Ger
nan-American, whose name he fur
nished, had told him not to wrap tho
| fuses.
Lepkouski testified that he was on
\ piecGwork and that he could make
more money If he did not stop to place
the wralpings about the fuses. The
failure to wrap the fuses made the
shells defective.
District Attorney Kane considered
the case was of such moment that he
took charge of the prosecution at the
| nreliminarY hearing.
