The registration board regrets the
fact that these names so appeared, but
states it could no nothing but report
them as delinquent It's chief regret is
that the term '1lackers" was used,
as it did an injustice to those who
have enlisted, but outside of that the
board says it could do nothing but re-
port all who have not answered the
questionnaires, or had relatives or
friends make affidavits concerning
them. The government does its regis
tration business on the basis of
statements. Even though members of
the board know q registrant is in the
army, unless an affidavit to this eff
feet is made by his relatives or friends
it must report him as delinquent. The
ruling in such cases is as follows:
Questionnaires mailed to men who
are in the service, either as privates
or officers, must be answered. Any
man who has enlisted since registra-
tion day who receives a questionable
is not excused from giving the details
asked in the QUESTIONABLE, and if he
is away at camp it is incumbent upon
his relatives or household to get in

KAISER SENDS Won EIERTLING.
BY Carl D. Groat


Washington, Dec. 31.-The kaiser
agreed that Chancellor Won Hertling
should participate in selecting represen-
tatiyes to the Brest Litovsk peace con
ference, according to state department
dispatch from Copenhagen dated Deeem
Der "a, made public today.
This step, the first recent move even

ic representation in the German govern
ment, was regarded here, however, as
insincere.
"fThe kaiser probably had his hand
in it very strongly" said a high off
cial, counter-acting the impression that
this might be a real movement toward
Decentralization.
The liberal press regarded the kaiser 8
move joyfully. There was general agree
ment that this headed in the right di-
rection by nominally, at least, giving
the reichstag chance to express the
people s will. Some Of the press hold il
was high time that such a step was
taken, the message said.
On the other hand, the pan-German
press denounced it as contrary to Ger.
man aims.
German officials placed little stock
in the kaiser's sincerity. They felt that
he is still the guiding power at the
peace conference and that he is not yet
ready to relinquish 10 the people his
power to control their destiny.
This information, taken in connection
with the London United Press dispatch
that the allies will seriously answer the
German peace overtures, caused real
stir here.

is not sufficient, it is pointed out, and
as all such cases have to be investi-

abroad should communicate with the

Price of Flour VIII

Portland, Or, Dec. 31.-Because of
the recent reduction in millfeed prices
the mills will not be able to make an
other reduction in flour prices at this

This was the decision reached Satur-
day at meeting of Northwestern mil
lers held in the office of 7. B. Wilcox,
chairman of the milling division of the
United States Food Administration for
this district.
Some of the millers were Of the
opinion that higher flour quotation
would be justified, but the majority
thought that the price should stand
as at present, which is on the wholesale
basis of $40 barrel for family
patents.

bran being listed ct $50 and shorts at
$32 in carload lots, with an additional
charge of so cents for less than car
lots. These prices are so cents higher
than those announced to go into effect
December 25, as it was found that the
December wheat cost the millers more
than the November supply, as they
have been purchasing it from the
Grain Corporation and paying switch
ing charges.
1T was also decided that the 95 pei
cent flour, socalled ''war flour
ordered manufactured by the Food Ad

Germany is in worse position re

believed, for some time past. Official
data recently collected by American
government experts. from reliable
sources in touch with the Teuton food
problem shows this conclusively today,
though the government is Withholding
specific facts.
The pinch of hunger may account in
large measure for the persistence of
the German peace movement at this
time, for despite disconragemeit thereof
from all allied quarters, the effort to
make peace talk sink into allied con-
sciousness continues. There are signs
that Germany will stick to her maneu
vers indefinitely.
The United Press was informed today
by official sources that this government
had been led to believe that the Ger
man food situation had improved as a
result of the last harvests, but had
learned from careful investigation that
this was not the case.
Under-nutritidn is causing decrease
of efficiency and there is a notable lack
of many foods uron which tissue and
stamina are built.
However, officials said Americans
should bear in mind that Germany is
far from starving to death and far from
being "bled white''. She is in a po-
