WHEATLESS DAYS
ARE CALLED OFF
BY FOOD HEAD
Housewives Expected to Con-
tinue Use of Substitutes
Allies Use Bread Schedule.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28-The allied
nations go on a common wheat ana
bread schedule after September l.
America, with a great bumper mar
vest coming, has enough grain to care
70 the deficits Of all, II all maintain
victory bread and -four" system.
That was the announcement from
the United States Food Administration
today.
All wheatless days and meals for
America are abolished, but all bread
used in this, country must correspond
to the bread to be used abroad. IL
must not exceed 80 percent wheat.
Dealers may sell these fours with
out accompanying substitutes. but
where straight wheat -four Is sold 20
percent substitutes must be sold CO
incidently.
Rule on wheat -four and substitutes
Is abolished. Bakers bread must con-
tain at least 20 percent substitutes.
The Food Administration relies on
women who make their own bread to
see that the substitutes are mixed IN
as heavy a proportion as the admins
tration has ordered.
Corn meal for corn bread should be
purchased separately, as Its purchase
with wheat -four would disturb the
proportions Of substitutes.
II the consumer objects to the use OF
barley or corn fiours as substitute
with wheat -four the dealer may sub.
stitute, at the rate Of one pound with
every four pounds of straight wheat
-four, feterita -four or meal, rice, oats
kaffir. milo peanut, bean, potato. sweet
potato or buckwheat flours.
Bakers and dealers will be permitted
to carry a go days supply of flour In

HOPELESS STRUGGLE

German socialists are getting more
and more intractable. They are more
open in demanding peace. They be-
came very troublesome last winter,
and they are showing a disposition
now to be even more troublesome.
Won Hindenburg went to Berlin a
year ago and told the deputies that
he could win German peace by
August if they would stand by the
government. They assentcd to this,
with the further qualification that the
casualties should not exceed 100000.
August is pretty near; the end of
August is not much more than six
weeks away. The million and a half
casualties have perhaps not yet been
exhausted, but the losses have been
enormous, and Won Hindenburg's mar
gin is getting narrow. Yet there is
no sign of that German peace. Now
the Socialists insist on knowing what
Won Kuehlmann's successor IS going
to do about the peace resolutions be-
fore they vote another war credit.
Food and clothing are becoming
more serious problems than even in
Germany. Russia has been vast dis
appointment. The Zeppelins have fail
Ell them. and the submarines have
neither. starved England nor kept
American troops at home.
The hopelessness of the German
struggle grows palmer every days,
and one of these days the German
army or the German people, or both,
will tell the kaiser that they have
suffered useleslly long enough. PROB
ably the kaiser understands this, and
peace negotiations may have begun.

Representative Of the commercial

considering the ACCESSIBILITY of re-es-

it said, will be taken for the re-

wharf on the opposite side, and=~tne
road leading therefrom should be re-
paired. A small ,doube-end steamer
of the type of the old "Alice Fox"
and "virginia' would be requisite.
In the olden time many Of the
country people who attended the Alex
andria market resided in Maryland OPP
nosite Alexandria. They disposed of
their produce here and spent most OF
the money received with Alexandra
merchants. The population of Prince
Georges county has increased greatly
in recent years, and many would make
Alexandria their purchasing point
were ferry in operation.
The "Alice Fox" is not remembered
by the greater number of the present
generation. This little steamer, COM
manded by Captain Griffin, was
,beached on the opposite side Of the
river in 1861 and allowed to go to
pieces. The "Virgina," which sue
ceeded her at the close of the civil
war, was commanded by Captain
Smith. This steamer was withdrawn
from the route a third of a century
ago and wrecked.
Back in the thirties of the last CEN
Larry ferry steamer piled between
Alexandria and the opposite Maryland
shore. The ferry wharf at that time
vas at point opposite the present
plant of the Virginia Shipbuilding
Corporation. The steamer Union on
her trial trip exploded her boiler
while lying at the Maryland wharf
and number Of people were killed
and injured. Later the ferry wharf
was moved north. This was known as
"Tot's Ferry" and was for many
years a well-patronized resort, espe-
cially on Sundays.
