But Senator Sherman produced q
statement made by Samuel Gompers
commenting on the action as dew
iltry and folly" and saying the
clause would not prevent strikes but
only make the laboring men law
breakers as well as strikers"
There was torrid debate following
the reading OF the statement.

of New Mexico. I'VE have con-
scripted wealth. Why not conscript
labor? II we don't do 'it, We will

Gompers' statement was character
lied by Hollis not as a threat. but
as a prophecy.
And" said Hollis. Il join heartily
with him in saying / do not believe
any law prohibiting peaceful strikes
can be enforced.
Taking It for granted that Com
pers, Morrison and other labor men
are loyal" said Sherman. Il there
fore greatly deprecate that Gompers
should have made such a statement,
whether II is q threat or q prophecy. "
The Senate received word through
Senator Lodge that the House had
agreed to a conference on the re-
-ort.
After the debate had subsided
Jones. of Washington, made a movc
to recall the conference report from

GERMANY HAS CALLED IN SUBS.
! IN PREPARATION OF NEW Of

WARNING GIVEN BY BAKER
Powerful Effort Will BE Made to Stop
Flow of Men, Munitions and Food to
Allies, Says Secretary Baker.

Washington. - Warning that the
Germans are preparing for great
submarine offensive against the Amer
lean lines of communication with
France in connection with the impend-
ing Teutonic drive against the west
front is given by Secretary Baker in
his weekly military review made pub
lie by the war department.
Recently there has been a marked
decrease in the number of allied mer.
chant ships sunk by submarines. The
explanation for this is found IN the
withdrawal Of submarines in prepa-
ration for the coming thrust on land
and sea. The review says:
Gas the time draws near when once
again the enemy will endeavor to
strike a decisive blow in the west, 1t
must be emphasized that he will not
be content with mere military oper-
atoms on large scale. 49,.
During the past fortnight enemy
submarines have been recalled to
home ports to be refitted and the most
powerful subamine offensive hitherto
undertaken may be expected to be
launched against our lines of commu-
nication with France, to intercept the
steady flow of men ana munitions for
our own armies and food supplies for
the allies
During the period under review,
renewed activity along the entire
western front is noted.
"The region bordering the North
Sea has once again become the scene
of sever fighting.
"A careful co-ordinated operation
undertaken by British monitors, act
ing in concert with land batteries in
the area north of Ypres, subjected the
German defenses Of Ostend and sur
rounding country to severe bonn
bardment.
"No infantry action was attempted
in this sector by the British, but later
In the week the Germans reacted
sharply an ddirected strong assault
against the short sector Of the line in
the Dune area, which fringes the
coast in the vicinity of Newport. This
attack which must be considered
something more than simple raid
broke into the French lines, and for
@ brief period, the enemy deactments
were able to hold their ground in the
advanced outposts. The French speed
Iy brought up fresh forces, drove out
the enemy and were able to re-estab
lish themselves in their former posi-
lions without difficulty.

FURTHER INRoADs INTO RUSSIAN
TERRITORY THREATENED BY
GERMAN DELEGATES.
WANTS MUCH TERRITORY
RoIshevlki Amazed at Audacity Of De-
, mands-Asks Time to Consider,
Which Was Reluctantly Given-Rus-
, sia's Last Chance.

i After weeks of vaccilation the Ger.
mans at last have made their demands
ct the peace conference at Brest-Lito-
vsk and the Russians have declined to
accede to them.
Notwithstanding tee fact that the
imperial German chancellor in his
many-times postponed speech to the
main committee of the reichstag an
nounces that he still holds the hope
that an early and satisfactory conclu-
sion Of tho Brest-Litovsk conference
will be reached, the terms Of the Ger
mans as enunciated by General Hoff-
man, one Of their chief delegates to
the peace conference, so far form an
insuperabi, barrier for the bolsheviki
government, which has expressed a
determination to carry out a policy of
no annexations and no indemnities.
Courland in its entirety and all of
Russia's Baltic provinces are to be re-
tanned by Germany, according to Gen
eral Hoffman in what is termed as
Germany's last proposal to the Rus
SLAMS, and If the Russians failed as &C.
quiesce in the demands, further in
roads into their territory would fol.
low and the important port Of Reval,
near the mouth Of the gulf Of Finland,
would be occupied
In theatrical fashion Hoffman de-
lineated on a map before the aston.
lshed Russian delegates the new Rus
sian frontier as the Germans intend
to run it-from the shores Of the
gulf Of Finland eastward to the Moon
sound islands and then to the west
of Minsk and thence to Brest-Litovsk
leaving within German boundaries
some of Russia's choicest territory.
Amazed at the audacity of the Ger
man program the Russian delegates
asked for time to consider the de-
mand. This was grudgingly given, to
gether with the announcement that
It was the last postponement that
could be expected. The latest advices
are to the effect that the Russians
have unanimously rejected the Ger
man terms.

President Calls Upon Housewives to
Observe Orders of Food Administra-

Washington.-The following procla-
nation by President Wilson on food
conservation was issued:
A Proclamation.
Many causes have contributed to
create the necessity for more inten-
sive effort on the part of our people 10
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 elimination 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 for
mulated suggestions which, If follow
ed, will enable us to meet this great
responsibility without any real incon-
venience on our part.
In order that we may reduce our
consumption of wheat and wheat prod
ucts by 30 per cent-a reduction i'm
peratively necessary to provide the
supply for overseas-wholesaler job
bers and retailers should purchase and
resell to their customers only 70 per
cent Of the amounts used in 1917. All
manufacturers of alimentary pastes,
biscuits, crackers, pastry and break
fast cereals should reduce their pur-
chases and consumption of wheat -four
to 70 per cent of their 1917 require
ments and all bakers Of bread and
rolls to 80 per cent Of their current re.
quirements. Consumers should reduce
their purchases of wheat products for
home preparation to almost 70 per cent
of those of last year, or when buying
bread, should purchase mixed cereal
breads from the bakers.
How to Control Wheat Bread.
To provide sufficient cereal food,
homes, public eating places, dealers
and manufacturers should substitute
potatoes vegetables, corn, barley, oats
and rice products, aad the mixed &C.
real bread and other products Of the
baker which contain an admixture OF
other cereals.
In order that consumption may be
restricted to this extent, Mondays and
Wednesdays should be observed as
wheatless days each week, and one
meal each day should be Observed a.
a wheatless meal.
