Government Given Warning of
Plot to Apply Torch to Plants
Of All Kinds Engaged in|
War Work.

New York, Jan. 26.-Indications of
widespread plot to cripple the war
activities of the United States were
seen today in a series of fires in ship
yards, on munition ships, in war
plants and storage buildings at vari-
Gus points along the Atlantic seaboard
and farther inland. Nearly all of them
were Of distinctly suspicious origin.
Fears that the flames may have
been set by enemy aliens were given
strength by the fact that they started
within Il few hours at widely separat-
ed points almost a week to a day after
Edward n. Hurley chairman Of the
United States shipping BOARD declared
that the government had given au-
thorities warning of a German plot to
apply the torch to plants of all kinds,
especially shlpyards, which are pro-
ducng implements OF war,
Mr. Hurley ordered the trebling of
soldier and police guards at all the
war plants and in some cases this pre-
caution resulted in preventing even
more serious losses. 1t was announced
from Washington today that this
warning was issued because IA crack
letter" had not been properly inves-
tigateG, but government agents in
various parts of the country were in
clined to believe that it was well
founded Guards were again strength
ened to make even more difficult the
depredations of German agents.
Disastrous fires started only few
hours apart in shipyards at Newark,
n. j. and Baltimore, The losses will
aggregate $9,OOOOOO.
Fires were discovered on loaded
munition ships at two Atlantic ports
today, but they were distinguished be-
fore serious damage had been done.
There were other fires of a sus-
picious nature in New York, Paterson,
n. j., Buffalo Maynard. Mass, ana
Peterborough. Canada. In every case
rigid investigation will be made
either by military or munition author
tiles in an effort to fix the responsible

BRUTAL MEDICAL
OFFICERS SHOULD
GET PUNISHMENT
Secretary of War Sends Back
Two Court Martial Findings
Recommending Severer Pen
aIties Than Dismissal,
10y MORNING JOURNAL srss,sL LEASED wIsGl

Washington, Jan. ga heavier
punishment than mere dismissal from
the service was recommended by the
war department tonight for two army
medical officers recently convicted by
courts martial of mistreating sick SOL
diers. After reviewing the records or
the trials, Secretary Baker returned
them to the trial court with the sug-
gestion that sentences of dismissal be
re-considered and that more severe
penalties be imposed.
One case was that of First Lieut..
John G. Dwyer, medical corps, on hos
pital duty at Camp Funston. Evidence
brought out at his trial showed that a
soldier in the advanced stages of pneu-
monia who reported for treatment was
reprimanded for failure to salute and
sent back to duty. In fact, it was
shown that the doctor urged that the
sick man, who died few days later,
be given double duty.
The other case was that of First
Lieut.. Charles w. Cole, Camp Beou-
regard, in charge of the base hospital.
An ambulance loaded with sick men
came to the hospital from the regi-
mental infirmary, it was shown at the
trial and the officer kept the men
waiting for nearly an hour outside in
the cold and rain before he went out
to look at them.
When he did go out, 1t was brought
out that he ordered them taken to
camp, as he had no room for them. The
ambulance driver told the doctor that
one man in his ear was Gelirous and
might hurt himself or others. The
officer instructed him to tie the pa
tient up and take him back. Two of
the patients later died.
1t was shown also that while the
base hospital was crowded, nine pa
tients could have been cared for.
Secretary Baker has asked Senator
Chamberlain for the names of officers
charged in letters to the senator with
neglect of sick men that the cases
may be investigated and punishment
meted out if the officers are guilty.

Amsterdam, Jan. 2G.--Dr Richard
Won Kuehlmann, the German secre-
tary for foreign affairs, speaking at
the sitting yesterday of the main com"
mittee of the reichstag, dealt with the
peace negotiations at Brest-Litovsk,
He referred to what he termed the
fiction that the negotiators went to
Brest-LitoVsk and there concocted a
policy to accord with the requirements
of the situation" This, he said, lack
ed foundation, as Germany's eastern
policy had been decided upon before
he took office.
Trotzky Is Thorn.
DR.. Won Kuehlmann said that after
the arrival at Brest-Litovsk of M.
Trotzky, the Russian foreign minister,
the friendly spirit which previously
had prevailed on the Russian side
totally vanished. The Russians shut
themselves off and the entire nature
of the negotiations changed. He add
ed:
at the moment they are at stand
still, but they probably will be resum-
ed at the beginning or next week.
Confident of Peace.
The foreign secretary spoke of the
Russian dissolution into a series of
republics in which there would be
further disintegrating elements, and
expressed the opinion that peace

when that republic had been recog-
nized. He declared there was a still
better prospect of peace with Finland.
"Our differences with the Bolshe-
wiki government" DR.. vonKuehlmann
said, "relate mainly to details regard
ing the carrying out Of self-determi
nation which is not entirely modern
innovation, Bismarck having stipu-
lated it in the peace treaty after the

A proclamation:

A proclamation;
Many causes have contributed to
create the necessity for a more inten-
sive effort on the part of our people
to save food in order that we may
supply our associates in the war with
the sustenance vitality necessary, to
them in these days of privation and
stress The reduced productivity OF
Europe because OF the large diversion
of man-power to the war, the partial
failure of harvests and the elimina-
ton of the more distant markets for
foodstuffs through the destruction of
shipping places the burden of their
subsistence very largely on our
shoulders.
The food administration has formu-
lated suggestions which if followed,
will enable us to meet this great re-
sponsibility, without any real incon-
venience on our part.
Reduce 30 Per Cent
In order that we may reduce our
consumption of wheat and wheat
products by 80 per cent---a reduction
imperatively necessary TO provide the
supply for overseas wholesalers,
jobbers and retailers should pur-
chase and resell to their customers
only 70 per cent of the amounts based
in 1917. All manufacturers of all
mentary pastes biscuns, crackers,
pastry and breakfast cereals should
reduce their purchases and consump-
tion of wheat and wheat flour to 70
per cent of their 1917 requirements,
and all bakers of bread and rolls to
50 per cent of their current require
| ments. Consumers should reduce
their purchases of wheat products for
home preparation TO at most 40 per
cent of last year or, when buying
bread, should purchase mixed cereal
| breads from the bakers.
Available Substitutes.
To provide sufficient cereal food
homes, public eating places, dealers
and manufacturers should substitute
| potatoes, vegetables. corn, barley, oats
and rice products, and the mixed
cereal bread and other products of
| the bakers which contains an admiy-
! ture of other cereals.

Nottingham, England, Jan. 25.--A
resolution for the abolition of the
house of lords and against any form

told the conference that the railway
employees had reached the breaking
point and that the union would back
them IL they declined to work on ac-
count of lack of food. The response
bility. they said, would be due to mis-
management on the part of the gov

PRESIDENT APPEALS TO PEOPLE
To USE 80 PER CENT LESS FLOUR
AND HAVE TWO WHEALT TESS DAYS
One Additional Meal Each Day Should Have Only Corn Bread;
One MeaeSs Day and One Additional MeatesS Meal Each
Day Is Required and Every Saturday Should Be PorkeSS;

restricted to tins extent Mondays and
Wednesdays should be observed as
wheatless days each week and one
meal each day should be observed as
wheatless meal.
In both homes and public eating
places, in order to reduce the con-
sumption of beef, pork and sheep
products, Tuesday should be OBJ
served as meatless day in each week,
one meatless meal should be observed
in each day; while, in addition, Sat
urday in each week should further
be observed as a day upon which there
should be no consumption of pork
products.
Economy in Sugar Required.
A continued economy in the use
of sugar will be necessary until later
in the year.
1t is imperative that all waste and
unnecessary consumption of all sorts
of breadstuffs should be rigidly elm
mated.
The maintenance of the public
health and strength of our own peo-
pie is vitally necessary at this time,
and there should be no dangerous re-
striction of the food supply; but the
elimination of every sort of waste and
the substitution of other commodities
of which we have more abundant
! supplies for those which we need to
save, will in no way impair the
strength of our people and will ena-
bic us to meet one of the most press.
| ing obligations of the war.
Appeals TO People.
! !, therefore in the national interest,
take the liberty of calling upon every
/ loyal American to take fully to heart
! the suggestions which are being cir
oulated by the food administration
and of begging that they be followed.
] am confident that the great body
| of our women who have labored so
oyally in cooperation with the food
administration for the success Of food
conservation will strengthen their eff
forts and will take it as part Of their
burden in this period of national serv-
ice to see that the above suggestions
are observed throughout the land.
