new IMPERIAL CHANCELLOR

Prince Macmillan of Berlin, the
new imperial chancellor Of Germany,
has been known as the chief Of tho
Delbrueck m0derates and opponents Of
the an-Germans. Once before. upon
the fall of Chancellor Michaelis, No.
vember /, 1917, he was put forward as
the moderates' candidate for the
chancellorship. His name, however.
did not go before the emperor, as
Prince Macmillan objected for dynas-
tic reasons.
At that time there were vague
rumors concerning Prince Macmillan
to the effect that in moderate circles
there was under way a movement hay
ing for its ultimate objective the de-
thronement of Emperor William and
the choice of Prince Macmillan as
his successor. These rumOrs, how
ever, were never confirmed, although
there seemed to be some foundation
for them. J.

BAN ON MEAT PARTLY
RAISED

Washington March 3.-Tem
porary suspension of the meat
less meal and of the special re-
strictions against the use OF
pork on Saturdays was announc
ed by the Food Administrator to
night as a readjustment OF its food
conservation programe. In
creased meat production and the
necessity for still greater saving
in wheat it was declared, make
the change advisable. -
The suspension is made etfec.
tive for an indefinite period, and
it probably will last for three
months or longer.
Since all restrictions on con.
sumption of mutton and lamb
had been lifted previously, the
Food Administration now asks
the public for the time being to
deny itself In meats only beef and
and pork on one day a week
Tuesday.
Increased meat consumption,
Food Administration officials be-
lieye, will of itself curtail the
use of wheat and for the present
there is no intention to add to
the restrictions already in force
against the use OF -four.
