u S. ASKS MUNITIONS
IN return FOR FOOD
Wants Norway to Curtail Sale of
Explosives to Hun.

Norway must not expect the peo-
pie of the United States to make
sacrifices of food that Norway may
get rations unless Norway Is pre-
pared to accommodate the United
States in return by selling to her
vital munitions of war which might
otherwise reach Germany.
This attitude of the United States
was obtained yesterday in an au-
thoritative quarter. 1t Is the basis
upon which the War Trade Board
will reply to Norway's note receiv-
ed yesterday obtecting to the terms
proposed by the United States a
week ago on the ground that they
would imperil Norway's neutrality.
The Norwegian reply Is now in
the hands OF the War Trade Board
for careful study and a formal re-
ply will be made in a day or two
along the lines indicated
Every ounce of food sent to the
northern neutrals, il is pointed out
represents sacrifice by the United
States and her allies in wheatless.
meatless and other days OF restrict
ed fare. The commodities which the
United States insists Norway must
not send to Germany are calcium
carbide. other carbides. molybdenum
and other materials useful for max
ing munitions. The United States
does not ask that Norway shut of
this trade. but merely that it be di-
verted to the United States in re-
turn for food. The commodities
named are sorely needed here and
the United States is prepared to pay
a good price for them.

grows weaker. his relatives ease
his dying moments by making be-
lieve' that the message from the
king has arrived and that the king
himself will soon visit him. Just
at the time when the king is ex-
pected, the Great King enters upon
the scene and carries the child to
his eternal home. The story is taken
from the 'Gitanjali." by Tagore.

CIVILIANS MAY HEAD
NAVY YARD FORCES

Substitution OF civilian governing
boards for the naval officers in
charge of navy yards probably will
be recommended to Secretary OF the
Navy Daniels by members of the
naval committees in Congress short
ly.
Several members of the committees
win eonfer with Secretary Daniels
today urging adoption of the plan.
II n urged by those in favor OF
the plan that every available naval
oficer Is needed for sea duty at
present and with the constantly In
creasing number OF ships the need of
officers also will increase.
.Oficials claim that men trained in
the production of large quantities of all
kinds of manufactured goods would
be able to cut much of the red tape
that now binds the yards, speed up
the work and at the same time cut
the cost of production many per cent.

Police are searching the city for
two men Who yesterday unfolded -
''get-rich-quick' plan to George
Demetrio, Of 1225 Wisconsin avenue
northwest, and made away with
Demetrio's savings of s1,70o.
The men. according to the story
Demetrio told the police last night,
entered his store and asked that they
be taken into partnership. They pro-
duced 800. which they were to add
to Demetrio's s1.7oo and would let him
keep 1t until the plan was under way.
The money was placed in a box, and
while Demetrio had his back turned
the money was extracted and newspa-
per clippings substituted. Demetrio
grew suspicious after his prospective
partners had left his store and on
opening the box discovered the theft.
He told the police that he had never
seen the two men before. but because
the plan they proposed sounded rea-
sonable and that they seemed to be
in earnest he concluded to enter into
the venture.

HERE'S THE ENTERING WEDGE

HERE'S The ENTERING WEDiE
Following are the four principles
set forth by President Wilson upon
which a just peace must be based
and to which Chancellor Won Hert-
ling referred to in his speech before
the German Reichstag:
al. That each part of the final
settlement must be based upon the
essential justice of that particular
case and upon such adjustments as
are most likely to bring a settlement
that will be permanent.
"2. That people and provinces
are not to be bartered about from
sovereignty to sovereignty as if they
were mere chattels and pawns in a
game, even the great game, now for
ever discredited, of the balance of
power; but that
"3. Every territorial settlement
involved in this war must be made
in the interest and for the benefit of
the populations concerned, and not
as a part Of any mere adjustment or
compromise of claims among rival
states; and,
"a. That all well-defined national
aspirations shall be accorded the ut
most satisfaction that can be afford
ed them without introducing new or
perretuating old elements of discord
and antagonism that would be likely
in time to break the peace of Eu-
rope and consequently of the world"
