tute leaders that German Socialists
ever had, basing his judgment upon
reports from lientenants all over the
country, held that the people were
ripe for revolution early last spring:
The Liebknecht affair was reported
as local episode in Berlin: It was
explained as an isolated effort at
treason by "a witless agitator. In
reality, it was a carefully considered
attempt to give the war-weary PEG.

NEW YORK, Dec, 19--New regula-

100000 bushels wheat during the
present crop year, we're announced
here by the milling division of the

The establishment OF maximum
prices for mill feeds relative to the
cost of wheat is expected to result
in marked reduction In their price
and It is hoped this will operate to
lower the price of milk and other
dairy products
Increasing difficulties OF trans

the future" emphasize the Importance
OF providing surpluses of what

the reasons for the new regulations
statement issued by the milling
division says.
Agricultural reports indicating the
harvesting of large quantities OF all
kinds of cereals during the present
year determined the present as the
proper time--"a time OF plenty"--iT
which measures should be taken tc
safeguard future needs, 1t states, add
ing; Proceeding on this theory the
food administration is making every
effort to effect a maximum saving
in wheat products to the end thai
ample supplies may be available fol

Restrictions imposed by the new
rulings, It is declared, will not serl
ously change the present quality o

BLAME PLACED FOR
DISEASE IN CAMPS

CBy Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Insuffici-
ent clothing, overcrowded and bad
sanitary conditions are held largely
responsible for disease epidemics
at Camp Bowie, Tex. Camp Funston,
Kas.. Camp Poniphan, Okla, and
Camp Sewer, S. c., by Surgeon Gen
eral Gorgas, in reports to Secretary
Baker just made public on the re.
suit of his personal inspection of the
camps.
Except at Camp Funston, none OF
the camp base hospitals has been
completed. General Gorgas says this
is handicapping the medical officers
in treating patients. He recommends
the rushing of this work, particu.
larly the installation of the neces-
sary plumbing.
General Gorgas points out that
practically all the disease is brought
to the camp by incoming men and
recommends the establishment of OBJ
servation camps for all newcomers
50 that they may be observed for
such time as the division surgeon
shall deem necessary To aid sani-
tary conditions be recommends that
fifty square feet of floor space be
furnished for each man in all camps,
