ALSATIANS MUTINY
IN GERMAN ARMY
Orders of Especial Treat
ment" Are Found.


PARIS. Aug. l.--iIytdence has been
found on German prisoners which sheds
light on recent mutinies in German reg
ments composed in part OF Alsatians
and Lorrainers.
An order from the Crown Princes
headquarters says that in view Of the
many assertions among the soldiers from
these provinces they are forbidden in any
circumstances to be employed In the
front line They are sent to the rear
to work in the fields
The order also adds that Asatians
must be weeded out OF regiments as
soon as possible and placed under rig
orous surveillance. Each battalion COM
mander received written request from
Gen. Won Rath to furnish a general re-
port o. the attitude and behavior of
Alsatian troops, and recommending
measures for the special treatment OF
these soldiers.
In a memorandum sent out by Gen.
Wode he speaks of the mutiry OF AL
, satians az HeverloO depot in which
10 600 soldiers participated, and says
that many refused to fight when trans
fegred from the east to the west front
many having ESCAPED to Holland.
Scores were punished for SINGING
French songs and speaking the French
language. The French press uses these
revelations to point out the ahsurdity
Of Germanys pretentions TO retain Al
SAGE on the basis OF nationality. for II
the Alsatians are really German why
should there be need for this special
| treatment" the newspapers ask.

The Federal Food Board made public
yesterday the following cablegram from
Herbert Hoover which. gives gives the
fun text of a joint resolution adopted re-
Gently by the Food Controllers of the
United states, France. Italy and Great
Britain:
"ReSoIred. That while the Increased
production OF the United States renders
II possible TO relax some OF the restric-
tons. which have borne with pecu-
liar hardship upon all our peoples. yet It
is absolutely necessary that rigid econ
omy and elimination Of waste in the
consumption and handling OF all food
stuffs. as well as increased production,
should be maintained throughout the
European allied countries and in North
America.
1T is only by such economy and elimi-
ration OF waste that the transportation
OF the necessary men and supplies from
North America to the European front
caH be accomplished and that stocks OF
foodstuffs can be built up In North
America rs an insurance against the
ever present danger OF harvest failure
and the possible necessity for large and

ADMTRALS WILL

Strauss and Rodn1an to Return.
Kings Decorations.
Special Despatch 10 TIE srN.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Admirals
Strauss and Rodman, it is understood
here, will return the decorations recently
conferred upon them by King George.
Both were made members OF the order
of the Bath. Sentiment in the navy is
strongly opposed to the acceptance OF
such orders. the feeling being that Con-
gress in the amendment to the army
bill waving the constitutional restric-
tons plainly meant TO restrict such dec
orations TO medals of war.
Comment has been caused by the fact
that Vice Admiral Sims. the chief Of
ficer OF the United States Navy abroad,
should not have been selected by King
George as the recipient of such a dec
Grafton as that conferred on Admirals
Straus and Rodman. 1t developed to-
day. however. that a foreign Govern
ment, presumably Great Britain. had
offered a decoration to Admiral Sims
and that the latter had declined It,.
Upon hearing of his action Secretary
Daniels cabed Admiral Sims his warm
commentator of his stand.
Gems. March, Bliss and Pershing sew

King. 1t Is not known whether they
have accepted them or not, Mr.. Bake

U-BOAT SINKS BARK
OFF ATLANTIC COAST
Portuguese Vessel Attacked
Saturday $50 Miles From
Shore.

Capt. Velhas and seventeen OF the
crew of the Portuguese bark Porto.
sunk by a German submarine $50 miles
Off the Atlantic coast Saturday. we're
landed yesterday at an Atlantic port by
big British frelghter. The precise
position of tine attack on the bark
which was bound from Savannah FOR
Oporto with a cargo OF cotton. was not
ma de known in the official account OF the
ina!dent, but It is probable that the bark
was somewhat north of the latitude OF
Sandy Hook. as the course OF the Brit
ish freighter from European port I'M
der normal conditions would not be
lower than that.
II IL believed that the C-boat which
DESTROYED the Porto may have been the
same vessel that appeared eleven Gays
ago off the Massachusetts coast ana
shelIed a tug and the barRes under low
after having planted mine ~hich oe-
stroyed the American cruiser san Diego
off Fire Island.
The Portuguese skipper reported that
the bark was sunk by bombs placed In
thS cargo of cotton. All hands were per-
Irlitted to leave in the bark's boats.
Naval intelligence officials who got
the story OF the Portuguese yesterday
declined to make 1t public. They Will
utilize the information obtained to as
sist the patrol which is looking for the
elusive submarine.
IL Is probable that the men OF the
Porto may have been drifting two days
when they we're picked up. The frst
rumor reaching the water front was that
the Briton had found the crew OF Ger
man submarine sunk by the big freight
er's guns. Inquiry at various British
Offices failed 10 verify this.
The Porto was a steel vessel OF 1897
gross tons She originally was British
and was built at Dfnbarton in 1855. She
hailed from Oporto.

doubt as TO the status OF those officials
IN relation to the Bolsheviki.

LONDON, Aug. There are indica-
lions that the situation has changed In
the last three weeks in northern Rus
sia and that the Germans shortly will
begin an offensive against the southern
part of the Thurman Railway.
The Finnish population is now In
tensely hostile to the Germans. There
is a great shortage of food and the peo-
pie are entirely dependent on the En-
tente for sIstenance. Both the Gov
eminent and the army, however. are
completely under German control and
there is every reason to suppose they
will cooperate with the Germans.
The Germans have induced the Boil
shevist Government to agree to the ces-
sion of the whole Of the Thurman coast
to Finland, Notwithstanding the desire
of the inhabitants to remain Russian.
The Finnish army capable of under
taking an offensive probably does not
exceed 10000 men.

WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-The Admin
istration's new man power plan under
which the draft ages are to be extended
and the services OF many millions more
OF Americans brought under the direc-
ton OF the Government for military or
Industrial purposes In order to win the
war is now ready. Announcement of
the fact was made to-day by Secretary
Baker. This plan has been submitted
to the President and the Cabinet and
was gone over yesterday at the meeting
Of the War Council at which special
attention was given to its industrial
phases.
Mr. Baker intends to submit the pro-
gramme to Congress early next week
1t will involve extension OF the draft
age limits both below 81 and above 81
Indications were tonight that instead
OF 10 to 40 the age limits to be sug-
gested by Mr.. Baker would be 10 to
either 80 or SO. The exact limits. how
ever. Mr. Baker declines to disclose
until the plan goes to Congress.
Comprehensive in its scope. the plan
will be A notice to Germany and the
world that all the vast reservoir OF

his plan to Congress next week was a
great surprise. az he had previously in
dicated on many OCCASIONS that he
would wait until Congress reassembled
for daily sessions late this month In
fact when the matter came up last June

Fall resolution spokesman for the Ad-
ministration made it plain that there
was no need for any such plan until

S. each, but was able to get only one
ether member TO back him up, This sug.
gestion came out of a clear sky. Mr.
Moore told the committee he did not
have any figures TO show exactly how
much might be raised, but estlma ed
that there must be at least million
dogs in the United States and that such
a tax therefore would raise about So
900. coo.
The only thing accomplished by the
subcommittee considering the luxury
tax schedule sent from the Treasury
was the agreement OF the three members
that expensive clothes should bear a
tax and that jewelry should be taxed
more heavily
Tie Treasury suggestions included n
tax on men's suits costing more than
$50, and on other garments above quite
low prices. The Treasury also suggested
30 per cent. tax on jewelry.
The subcommittee Is endeavoring to
obtain information from department
stores as to what should be considered
nece sslties and what as luXuries.
