BAKERS ARE WARMED.

Must Savs Wheat or Close Up Shsr
I Until New Crop 10 Harvested.
Chicago, June 19.vBakers thruout the
United States have been warned that
they must either be extremely cautions
in their use Of -four or shut down len :
tirely. The warning was telegraphed
from Washington yesterday by w. AZ
Campbell OF the national bakers, service
board. !,
The message from Mr.. Campbell was
sent to the Chicago office Of the food
administration. 1t notified the bakers
that the situation is. serious. and that
the necessity for curtailment in the
use OF flour is real and not imaginary
"The bakers Of the United States
must prove that they are capable Of
self lf-regulation," wired Mr.. CampbeIl
II -four were to be used In normal
quantities. with less than the required
amount of substitutes, more than twice
as much as can be allowed to the
bakers would be consumed.
The normal consumption In this
country Is 50.000,0 900 bushels month,
and the bakers normally use 40 per
cent Of all the -four that is sold we
will have only 14,500.000 bushels OF
wheat a month to supply the needs q
the country until Sept. /.
The use OF 25 per cent Of substi-
tutes, in Victory bread is not sufricient
to meet the needs OF the situation.n
Mr, Campbell pointed out that the
action which he asked the bakers to
take would be voluntary on their part,
but 1t was asserted at the bakery divi-
sion Of the food administration that
unless the warning is needed the
bakers will soon be confronted with a
serious situation. 1t is not expected
that the new crop will be available for
general use until Sept. 1.

country districts to dig into their saw

For generations it has been the GUS

A few weeks ago an old shepherd
died and those that assembled in his

to see one of the relatives attack the

Several days before an aged basket
maker died he told a clergyman where

tension Of the draft ages would be
necessary.
He told the committee 5000, 900 men
would be Hnder arms by next August

the first OF the year.
The present tentative. schedule Of
tho war department Is said to con-
template the arming OF 1000, 900 men
by next Jan. 1.
That would mean the calling of l.
100000 men between July and January
and absorbing not only the men re-
naming in Class from the frst
Registrations but those placed in that
class under the recent registration, a.
well as some 100000 expected to be
put in that class as the result Of the
reclassification recently ordered.
All previous estimates Of the de-
partment relating to man power have
been based solely upon the men in
class one, General CIowder stating
specifically in his report on the first
draft that II would be the policy OF
his department to refrain from touch
