PLAN FURTHER REDUCTION
OF FLOUR CONSUMPTION
Allies Are Not Receiving Enough for
Observation-Disclosures Must De
Better.

The food administration Tuesday
hlgnt announced the first of a series
OF steps planned to stretch flour sup
plies sufficiently to feed the country
and maintain shipments to the allies
until the next harvest.
Beginning with the baking trade
which uses 40 per cent of the wheat
flour consumed in this country. the
administration has approved plans for
division OF flour supplies between
shops sharing of wheat substitutes
and for a nationwide educational
campaign to eliminate waste, which
would be worked out at a meeting i'm
Chicago today.
Further restrictions on the con-
sumption of wheat, which were an
nounced last week as under consider
ation' viii be put into effect next.
Aside from the shortage of wheat in
the United States, another serious
problem is confronted by the food ad-
ministration in making good its prom
ise to the allies. Not a single weeks
shipment of grain and cereals abroad
has equaled the announced program
since January Of S12, 900 tons to be
made up, in addition to the regular
supplies.
shipments reached a low point in
the week OF February l to 7. as the
elimination of weeks of bad weather
which demoralized both railroad and
overseas transportation. Only s4.658
tons went abroad in that week. I'm
provement has been shown since, but
even with clearing weather it has been
impossible to transport the 10000
tons promised every seven DAYS. In
the week from March l TO 8 the shin
ments were 212,154 tons, but dropped
in the second week to 2O1 .93s tons
and the expected surplus over REQUIRE
ments has not gone forward. Since
January l shipments have totaled l.
416.917 tons.
lnasmuch as the allied people
abroad are being rationed strictly. Of
ficials at Washington do not contem-
plate any curtailment Of exports. nor
DO they admit of possibility of fail
ure in supplying the food necessary to
carry on the war.

A MINISTER DOES HIS BIT.

A minister of distinction furnishes
us with charming example of army
red tape. He writes:
Yesterday morning | received an
urgent call from one of the directors
of religious work at Camp Blank ask
ing me to preach TO the men in one of
the huts in the place of DR.. John Doe.
who had been obliged to cancel his
engagement on account of death in
his family. My friend stated that il
was a matter of some importance, as
several companies had been ordered
to attend that serwioe-which had new
er been done in Camp Blank before
SO that he felt that it was imperative
to provide an outside speaker for the
occasion.
This morning when / presented my
self for the service the director in
charge informed me that the military
authorities preferred that no mention
of DR.. Does absence and my substitu-
ton should be made, If were willing
10 act under such an arrangement;
because, as he explained, the men
were present under orders to listen
IN an address by DIR. Doe, and any
change would require new orders and
give no little trouble. good-natured-
ly assented to the proposal; was in
troduced. without name. as the speak
er of the hour" and throughout the
service there was no intimation that
i was not DR.. Doe.
OF course the men could not obey
an order to hear DR.. Doe. because DR..
Doe was in New Haven; but so long
as the fact of his absence was not
recognized the order was regarded as
obeyed, and the discipline and dignity
of the service were duly maintaineds
We might draw some weighty con-
clusions from this incident-cOnclu-
sions about the military mind: or,
more precisely the mind of our army.
But-well-nO lives were lost.-COl-

RED CROSS NOTES.


There has been circulated a report
that drafted men leaving Power coun-
ty have been given a complete knitted
outfit by the local Red Cross chapter
This is an absolutely erroneous idea
No knitted article Of any description
has ever been given to any one from
this chapter or any other local chap
ter, everything being shipped to head
quarters and distributed from there.
The comfort kits have been given by
the chapter to the drafted men simply
because it was known just at what
time and how many were going. 1t is
the desire of the chapter that all en-
listed men also be supplied with kits
and il they have not been given one
up to the time OF their enlistment and
will notify the local chapter the la
dies will be more than glad to furnish
each man with a comfort kit.
We gratefully acknowledge the re-
ceipt of $4.50 from the Valley View
school, Mrs. Barker. teacher. This is
to be used in filling comfort kits for
the boys

a day wage scale on the basis Of pay
for special work. The present day
scale for clippers and caulkers is $500

of the strikers belong, was notified Of
the trouble and confidence was ex-
pressed by officials that the national
officers Of the union would settle the
difficulty. All OF the metal trades
unions have promised complete coop
Grafton in the shipbuilding program
and have refused to hinder production
by special demands. such as were
made recently by the carpenters. The
Baltimore trouble is believed here to
of affecting other yards. where the
workers approved the new wage scale
recently instituted.
The Baltimore company suggested
to the board that shipyard strikers be
pI ohibited from working on govern
ment contracts in other yards for a
period OF from thirty to sixty days.
The government expects us to build
ships" the company declared. Some
drastic action must be taken to pre-
vent occurrences OF this kind. The
men are receiving exceedingly high

work prices, hours and conditions of
labor are absolutely in the hands of
the government"
