An international peace plan to eff
feet immediate cessation of the war
and to maintain future peace in the
world, was outlined to the Senate Oy
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, author
of a resolution proposing a league
of nations to enforce peace.
A treaty describing the principles
of international law and conduct OF
nations among the United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan
and China, was proposed by Senator
Owen. He suggested that upon COM
pletion of such an agreement Ger
many be invited to pledge adherence
to the principles enunciated.
AS a penalty for refusal, Senator
Owen proposed that Germany should
be subjected to economic isolation
for five years. For every thirty days
in which she failed to accept the
plans an additional penalty of one
years isolation would be imposed.
This would bring German merchants
and manufacturers to bankruptcy"
said Senator Owen in explaining his
plan. ut would hit them in their
most tender spot"
To enforce the proposed economic
isolation of Germany, Senator Owen
would refuse entrance or clearance
to German shipping and ban imports
or. exports from Germany, together
with absolute severance of postal
Geographic or telephone communica-
ton.
If Germany desires to join the
league and accept it's principles, Sen
ator Owen said, she must agree to
evacuate Belgium, Serbia and other
occupied territory and make repara-
ton.

FURTHER CONSERVATION OF
WHEAT DEMANDED BY
HOOVER.

Further reduction in the con-
sumption of wheat is asked of the
public by the Food Administration
that the scant supplies available be-
tore the next harvest may be stretch
ed to meet the needs of the army, do
nestle consumers and the Allies.
Every American is requested to cut
his average ration of wheat by Is
per cent, which would reduce the
total normal consumption of 42,0O0,-
600 bushels a month to 21,O0O,OO0.
This gives a ration of not more than
one and one-half pounds of wheat
products weekly for each person.
Flour sales will be cut to one-eighth
OF barrel for a town customer and
to one-quarter of barrel for coun.
try consumers, that retailers stocks
may be distributed to as great a num-
Der as possible
The wheat content of bakers bread
will be reduced to IS per cent on
April IA, which increases by per
cent. the amount of substitutes that
must be used.
The full seriousness of the wheat
situation, and some Of the difficulties
Will WHICu Illt 1OOu
has had to contend in warding Off
famine from the Allies became known
with the announcement of the new
plan.
In a statement given out by Mr..
Hoover the following restrictions
were placed upon public eating places
and clubs:
Public eating places and clubs
will observe two wheatless days per
week, Monday and Wednesday, as at
present. In addition thereto not
serve to any one guest at any meal
an aggregate of breadStuffs, maca-
roni, crackers, pastries, pies, cake.
wheat breakfast cereals, containing a
total of more than two ounces of
wheat flour. No wheat products 10
be served unless specially ordered.
Public eating establishments not 20
buy more than six rounds of wheat
product for each 90 meals served,
thus conforming with the limitations
requested of the householders."

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY ROUTES

Will it pay the government to op-
crate motor trucks on rural delivery
routes?
Statistics collected by the United
States postal authorities, and supple
mented in part by investigations;
made by crews of tire testing fleets
of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Com
pany, operating in the rural disticus
Of the South, show conclusively that
Uncle Sam can enrich himself by at
least 500, 100000 by installing mo-
tor trucks on his farm to table"
routes. Data shows that the an
tiquated system in vogue-the use
of the horse and wagon on 1000
routes throughout the country-is a
losing proposition; and to the ex-
tent of $3o,00O,000 too. The few
motor truck investments made By
the government last year earned
$4,000 apiece on an original in
vestment of $4,000 for each truck.
Moreover, communities were reached
by the motor trucks that had never
been visited before by Uncle Sans
mail carriers.
The assertion that there are roads
to-day never traversed by govern
ment delivery wagons may seem in
credulous, but the postoffice authori
ties support the statement that OF
the 2,199,000 miles of roads in this
country, 1,122,000 miles have no
mail service at all. Furthermore,
there are 100000 families in our
enlightened nation that have NJ
postal communication with the out
side world.

London, May 14.-MiIitary ex-

and in Italy.
1t Is believed that the war council
attended by the kaiser and Emperor
Charles, and which had representation
from the army and navy as well, re-
suited in the ramification of Luden-
dorff's plans until they now embrace
a drive by the German high seas fleet
while all the German and Austrian re-
serves on land are thrown into the
fighting.
The Hindenburg- Ludendorff combi-
nation commands the navy, as well as
the army. Being soldier of the land
Hindenburg is naturally willing to
sacrifice the navy to increase the
chances Of military success.

In preparing for resumption of the

They also are reinforcing their artil

For the present the German military

that direction. After the war, how

SPECULATION
NOT SATISFIED
Meeting of Kaiser and Austrian
Emperor to Give Germany
Firmer Grip on Ally.

tASSoclated Press.)
Lohdon, May 14.-The meeting
of Emperor Charles and Emperor
William at German great head
quarters, has aroused keen speou-
laton which the official account
has done little to satisfy.
There is an inclination, however,
to take it for granted that the
meeting resulted in giving Ger
many frmer grip on Austria
Hungary and the dual monarohy's
internal and external policies; in
fact, that from now on Austria
Hungary will be little more than
German colony.
Emperor Charles is pictured as do
ing penance for his peace letters to
France and as promising not to offend
again. Emperor William and his mil
itary advisers are seen as having ac-
cepted this promise at its face value
but as taking in the way OF security
for its fulfillment more active control
of Austrian affairs. to save them from
anarchy. in the interest OF the ruling
German minority. The fact that Ger
many has taken control of the Bohe-
mian food supplies indicates the Aus
trian government is not adverse to
German interference in its internal af-
fairs.
The benefits to be derived from
peace with Rumania and Ukraine and
the economic relations between Aus
tria and Hungary are now pressing
questions. There is much pickering
over the spoils. The Austrians arc
saying that the Hungarians, who re-
fuse to feed Austria, have had more
than their share.
