Wheat Embargo
Lifted by Hoover

Beginning with Sunday, retailers
viii not be required to sell wheat
-four substitutes and new flour to
be known as Victory mixed flour will
be put on the market, which win con-
tain 80 per cent of wheat flour and
20 per cent Of substitute. Bakers will
also be put on the 1920 per cent
basis, being required to use but one
pound of substitute for four pounds
of wheat -four in all products.
Millers are to be authorized to
manufacture mixed flour to be rec
ognized by the United States food
administration as Victory mixed flour
and to be labeled as such, the label
also showing what the -four contains
and the proportion of substitute used.
Whole wheat -four, entire wheat or
graham flour or meal will be con-
sidered victory flour, provided 95 per
cent of the wheat berry is used in
their manufacture.
Retailers may carry for the ac-
commodation of their customers a
straight white flour, but they must
have in their stock at the same time
either barley -four, corn meal or corn
flour, and one pound Of substitute
must be sold for every four pounds
of wheat -four.
One most striking change under
the new regulation is the cutting of
all breakfast foods from the list of
substitutes. Oatmeals, rolled oats,
hominy, hominy grits, rice and corn
starch will no longer be classed as
substitutes.
Another modification of flour rules
is the withdrawal OF the eighth Of
barrel limit, for householders as
well as millers, wholesalers, bakers
and retailers will be allowed to have
60-day supply of flour.
At the same time the new regula-
tons become effective wheatless
meals and wheatless days may be dis
, continued.

Play Ball Wearing Gas Masks.

With the American army in France,
May "a (By the Asso ciated Press)-
An innovation in training recently put
in practice back of the Am erican lines
is that the men, while playing ball in
their recreation periods, wear their
gas masks throughout the game. The
idea is to get them accustomed to
breathing properly in these protec-
tive devices under all conditions
TO morrow an exhibition game will
be staged with Hank Gowdy, former
Boston star, and other soldiers with
big regulations on the baseball field
participating. Gowdy, wearing his
gas mask, will catch for one of the
teams. 1t was freely predicted tonight
that umpires would have an easy tim e
of it during this contest.

We Want S2OO,OOO.

The Red Cross drive entered today
on it's final stages. No monday
luncheon was served today, SO the
campaigners have two days ahead Of
them before turning in their final re-
ports, Monday evening, at 7 O'Clock,
when the grand windup of the cam
paign will take place. '.'.
The hardest part of the work is
ahead, as the balance of 100000 has
to be raised in small amounts, and the
city has been secured thoroughly.
Those who have given already and
can afford to increase their pledges
are urged to do SO.
The young women Red Cross
nurses are deserving of the highest
praise for the work they are doing
and much of the success Of the cam
paign is due to their earnest efforts.
Miss Hazel Andrews and Miss Cor
nelia Chamberlain spent the entire
day yesterday in supplying the booths
with literature, pledge cards and
pins. They also distributed posters
in thorough manner. Mrs. A. H
Echilling is deserving Of special credit
for the fine showing she made in COL
lecting at Wilson's booth. No one
could resist Mrs. Schilling's firm, but
very courteous entreaties. One prom
irent professional man told her he
had already contributed. Quick at
repartee, she told him she couldn't
hear him. He subscribed in good
style. Her booth made one of the
largest returns of the day. All the
young women are deserving of the
Utmost praise for their work.
The t71eater meetings last night
were a great success, particularly
considering the size of the audiences.
It was an off-night for attendance at
the theaters, and those who were
there gave most generously.

ROOSEVELT HITS AT
PRESIDENT WILSON
Lays Blame for Alleged Discrimina
ton Against Newspapers at
Door Of White House.

Washington, May 25-A reply by
Theodore Roosevelt to Postmaster
General Burleson today in their con-
troversy over alleged discrimination
by the postoffice department in treat
n1ent of publications presented to the
senate today by Senator Poindexter of
Washington, charged that the admin
istration had played for and against
different newspapers and magazines
and that President Wilson was direct
ly responsible.
The administration, Mr.. Roosevelt
declared, has condoned the anti ALLY
attitude Of certain publications
among them the Hearst newspapers,
while embarrassing those that have
made honest criticism Of the conduct
of the war.
Colonel Roosevelt also assailed
Chairman Creel of the committee on
public information and imputing the
responsibility for the acts of the
postmaster general and Mr.. Creel
said: "I deal with Mr.. Burleson and
his actions purely because he is a
representative of President Wilson
exactly as is Secretary Baker, exactly
as is Mr.. Creel. President Wilson, is
responsible for everything Postmas-
ter General BurlGSOn anu secretary
Baker, and Mr.. Creel leave un-
cone.
"I have scant patience with the
timidity or the folly which dares not
hold accountable the source Of power
and only venture to express displeas-
ure with instruments through which
the power is exercised. Messrs.
Burleson, Baker, Creel and their as
| sociates possess no importance what
! ever, except that accruing to them
because it is through them that the
president speaks and acts or refuses
I or fails to act .-.- -s.a..,.
4 In attacking Creel, Col. Roosevelt
ceclared he 'tassails publications that
truthfully expose shortcomings Of the
| administration and without regard to
| the facts personally and through his
| bureau actively upholds the admins
| tration in matters such as the. air
| craft program, in which has been
| grave governmental shortcomings
'"This is partisan propaganda OF
the very worst type" the former
III esident declared, carried on with
public moneys under the guise of
| rublic work.

Fabela Incident May Be Basis.

Havana, May 25.-The report that
Mexico has severed diplomatic rela-
tions with Cuba could not be con-
f1rp1ed here early today. In Official
circles last night it was stated that
there was absolutely io foundation
for such q report. The Mexican
charge d'affairs left Havana yester-
day for Mexico City but visited Presi-
dent Menocal before leaving.
Several days ago there were ru-
mors that relations between Mexico
and Cuba were strained. These ru-
mors presumably were based on the
Fabela incident. A message of felici-
tation from President Carranza to
