TIME SET FOR
 TURNING BACK
 ALL RAILWAYS

WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. o. The senate commerce committee to- day decided to amend the adminis- tration's railway bill so as to pro- vide for turning back all roads now being operated by the government within one year after the end of the war. Some of the committee members objected to the amendment and will probably fight the clause on the floor of the senate.
 It is unknown at this time wheth- CT or not Director General McAdoo approves the amendment. but he will probably make his attitude known before 1t is offered on the floor of the senate. If 1t is not approved 1t will probably fail of passage. It Is thought that he plans to take this matter up at a later date when comprehensive legislative system has been devised under which the roads may operate under private owner ship without being the cause of so much trouble. as has been the case in the past. The committee is rap idly whipping the measure into. shape. and 1t will probably come up for action In few days.

Associated Press1

tASSOCIaIe0 PTpSSD
 WASHINGTON. D. C.. Jan. 29.- The new victory bread which has been prescribed by the national food administration will be sold at the price which the former bread has been selling. This announcement was made tonight by the food ad. ministration after numerous reports had been received from various sec tions of the country that the bakers were preparing to raise the price of the new bread on the ground that the substitutes used cost more than white flour heretofore used.
 The food administration states that any baker found to be raising his prices will have his license re- voked and otherwise punished. The victory bread was placed on the market yesterday in accordance with the orders of the administration. At present 1t contains ninety-hve per cent wheat flour. This will be de- creased and the substitutes increased until the proportion prescribed. twen- ty per cent substitute and eighty per cent white flour, is reached. The effect of this order is expected to result in an export surplus of many million tons of wheat.
