Drop is Expected
 in Flour Prices
Due to Cancellation of All Flour Mill Regulations by the Food Administration.

Washington, Dec, 2o-Cancellation of all four milling regulations, in cluding fair price schedules, and the price and quantity restrictions on the sale of wheat four by millers, which officials expect will result in cheaper flour, was formally announced late to- day by the food administration.
 Notification of the action was tele- graphed last night to all zone agents of the food administrations grain cor poration and today there was sharp rise in the price of wheat bran and other mill feeds on the Minneapolis market, which officials expect to be followed by a drop in flour prices.
 Existing regulations restricting mar gins of profit on flour and mill feeds remain in effect, as do general regu- lations of the food administration prohibiting profteering, hoarding and unfair practices, and officials said these would be strictly enforced.
 The prediction of cheaper flour to the consumer, it was stated at the food administration, is based on the immediate rise today in the price of mill feeds, amounting to several dol lars a ton. Close observation of the market trend in flour and mill feeds. made by the food administrators milling division and grain experts, it was said, showed that with every up- ward movement of feeds came a fall in the price of flour on basis of an

TO SAVE l$6,ooo,o ,oOoyooo
 OF WAR APPROPRIATIONS

Washington, Dec. 20.-More than sixteen billion dollars of cash appro- priations and contract authorization voted by congress for war purposes will be unexpended, Representative Sherley of Kentucky, chairman of the house appropriations committee, an- nounced today.
 Total appropriations and auth0riza- tions voted during the war amount to about $57, ,000, 900 000 including $10,000,- 000, 900 of authorizations for wartime loans to foreign governments. The loans actually made now total about $S,000, ,0o0, 900.
 More than eight millions of cash appropriations and approximately eight billions of contract authorizations will be converted back into the treasury" said Representative Sherley. Most of the money will come from the war de- partment, the largest saving, of course being from ordnance, because the greatest amount of money was appro- priated for that"
 The contract authorizations do not represent money that will be returned as result of cancellations of con- tracts. These authorizations were voted by congress for departments to contract to expend and most of the eight billions was unobligated.
 Hearings of the appropriations com mittee on the subject of what money could be returned to the treasury are not near completion and MT. Sherley said a bill would not be reported un- til after Jan 1. Examination of the war department is virtually complete.

FOLLOWING TRAIL OF AUTO
 TRIP MADE BY PIPER

Muskegon Mich. Dec. 20-Using as a route guide letters written en route by Frieda Weichmeh1 to her aunt in Hinsdale, Ills, two officers left here today to follow the trail of the au- tomobile trip Milo H. Piper, charged with having murdered the girl, admits they made in the summer Of 1916
 Departure of the officers and an- nouncement by Harris E. Galpin, who has been acting as council for the ac- cused man, that he had withdrawn from the case, were outstanding de- velopments here today.
 The two officers are expected to make their first stop at Rensselaer,, Ind, where the records show Miss Weichman and a man giving the name of "M. H. Piper" were married in 1916. Piper, while admitting that he and the girl made the automobile trip, repeat edly has stated that another man using his name was the bridegroom at Rensselaer,.
 No fewer than a dozen different stopping places are indicated in the girls letters to her aunt.
 Piper in his early talks with the officers here stated that two other per sons accompanied them on the trip. One of the purposes of the investiga- tion along the route. according to As sistaft Prosecuting Attorney Jack son, is to definitely establish this point.

RADIO COMMUNICATION
 WITH HOMEBoUND SOLDIERS

New York, Dec 20.-Relatives and friends of soldiers returning on trans ports from overseas may communicate with them by wireless and receive an- swers to their messages under a navy department arrangement announced here today by the Third naval district office of communication.
 According to announcement, mes sages may be filed at any telegraph office and will be relayed to New York, Boston, or some other naval radio base, wher they will be flashed to the incoming ships. Answers will come over the some route
 Charges for the service viii New York are 16 cents a word, in ,'uding telegraph tolls. As many of the sol diers are without adequate funds. it has been arranged that persons so de - sir ing may pay in advance for an- swers to be filed on board the trans- ports
 The only restriction on the service. it was said, is that no message will be accepted until the ship for which it is destined has passed the fortieth merid- ian, about half way across the Att lantic.

quarters. Meanwhile the running off of the edition could be continued. If it were then discovered that the reg ulations had been violated prompt punitive action would be taken.
 A memorandum delivered to the owners specifies that the following matter shall not be pub lished:
 "All articles. editorials, despatches and news items which, from their na- ture are calculated to or might in- flame the people or incite them to disrespect and disobedience or insu- hordination to the armies of occupa- ton.
 Comment or articles which reflect ernment or the government of the al- lies or the military forces of those governments"
 Comparisons between the army con- mahders of those governments or the military governments of occupied ter ritory is forbidden. To obviate any discussion of regulations. made by the French or British forces, it is stated specifically that nothing must be printed relating to the regulations for occupied territory outside the zone occupied by the Americans"
 A further indication of the inten- ton of the American authorities to curb any abuse of their leniency was afforded by roundup of discharged German soldiers who had failed to se- cure civilian clothes, and by the ul- rest of merchant who had been found profiteering in money exchange

Carlisle, Pa, Dec. 20.-Vice Presi- dent Marshall in an address here to- night before the Carlisle Chamber of Commerce, gave his views on some questions now under discussion in connection with the peace conferences, prefacing his remarks with the ex- planatioh that he had no thought of endeavorinS to affect President Will sens negotiations.
 On the question of a world league, or understanding to prevent, which, he said. all right thinking men agree is desirable AIr. Marshall declared that until all men are of. good will wars will not cease unless nations de sire peace at any price. He said the allies and the United States could go very far toward promoting peace. but predicted that unless reciprocal lradn agreements are made between these 1 associated nations, existing cordial relations cannot last. Urging exten- sion of the American merchant ma rine, he voiced opposition to govern plent ownership but declared it pre- ferable to a ship subsidy.
 Tt is farthest from my thought up- on this occasion to utter a single word which might in any manner be con- strUed as endeavoring to affect the | negotiations of the president in Flu rope" said the vice president, in open ing his address.
 "Too many half baked opiaions con- ing from myself and others in public ! life may cause mental and moral in- i digestion. I speak therefore, only in general terms and go only to the 1 length that all may agree.

Coblenz, Tuesday, Dec. 17.-CBy The A. p German propaganda and the tendency to criticism of conditions in the district occupied by the American forces have been abruptly checked by the establishment of a censorship by Major General Dickman upon the newspapeiN and the theaters. His act was the first indication that the Amer jeans purposes tightening their grip or local affairs.
 The regulations governing the press were formally made public, but those which apply to the theaters were com municated verbally by Colonel R. H. Williams. chief of the intelligence de- partment. who also explained person. ally to the newspaper owners what was expected of them. The managers of the theaters, ranging from opera to moving picture productions, were informed that there was no objection 10 their giving performances except in cases where attempts were made to inject propaganda or criticism, either directly or by innuendO into the pro- auctions. Not even apparently friend ly comment, if it were otherwise un- desirable. would be tolerated. if was explained.
 To the newspaper owners t was pointed out that the question of whether they offended or not lay with them-that the Americans would not be bothered with censoring the pub iications before they were issued, but that the first six copies from the press should be delivered to American head
