EAT MEAT, SkvEWHEAT, NEWLAW
Restrictions On Use Of Meat, Except
Tuesdays, Lifted BY Hoover.

Washington-Temporary suspension
of the meatless meal and of the spe.
cial restrictions against the use of
pork Saturdays was announced by the
food administration Sunday, March 3
as a REIMBURSEMENT of its food conser-
walton program. Increased meat pro-
duction and the necessity for still
greater saving in wheat, it was de-
clared, make the change advisable
The suspension is made effective for
an indefinite period and it probably
will last for three months or longer.
Since restrictions on consumption
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
pork on one day a week-Tuesday.
Increased meat consumption, food
administration officials believe, will Of
Itself curtail the use of wheat, and
for present there is no intention to add
to restrictions already in force against
use of -four.

China HELPS solve
NIPPON PROBLEM
CAN BAR 5oLSHEVlKI MOVING
VALUABLE STORES FROM
VLADVoSToK.
MAKES JAP HELP UNNECESSARY
Effectively Disposes of Delicate Situa
tion-Japs Will Not Dare
Raise Objection.

Washington-China has probably
solved the Valdivostok problem which
has been perplexing the Allies chan
cellories. This suggestion was made
In high official quarters here.
1t followed receipt by the state de-
partment of an unconfrmed rumor
from Toxic and Shanghai that the
Bolsheviki in Vladvostok had seized
$50,000000 worth of war supplies on
the docks and were preparing to COM
mander Allied and neutral merchant
vessels in the harbor. Japanese and
Allied warships at Vladivostok, the
state departments report said, had
cleared for action.
The state department was not the
least disturbed over the rumor. Meth
er were Japanese officials. None Of
these supplies, it was pointed out, can
be moved into Siberia or Russia, with
out passing Hardin, North China.
China has powerful military forces at
this point, prepared to act in fullest
concert with the occidental Allies.
Should it appear that these supplies
will fall into the hands of the Germans,
or should it appear that the Bolsheviki
might use them in a manner against
the Allied interests, China, on her own
right, and on her own territory, may
refuse to permit them to pass.
The question of the wisdom of per-
hitting an extensive Japanese opera
tion in Siberia seems effectually solved
by the strong position of the Chinese
at Hardin.
1t is recognized that there may be
some disposition in Japan to resent the
fact that China is allowed to play such
a part. According to opinion here,
however, this resentment will exist only
in the minds of Japanese imperialists,
who at this stage of world politics will
not dare to raise their voices very
loud.

REDS AGREE TO GERMAN PEACE
Teutons Report That Movement Into
Russia Has Stopped.

Washington-A dispatch from Der.
lin via London states that the German
invasion into Russia has stopped be-
cause of the signing of the piece
treaty.
1t was reported several days ago
by Bolshevik commissioners that they
were about to sign a peace treaty.
This report was telegraphed to Lenine
and Trotzky after delegates sent to
Brest-Litovsk had met the German
emissaries.
There is little information available
as to details of the meeting between
the delegations, but the Bolsheviki
said they realized that any further de-
lay would mean more onerous condi-
lions and they would sign the treaty
without further discussions.
Russia lost by the delay that ensued
when Trotzky announced that the war,
so far as Russia was concerned, had
ended, but refused to sign the formal
treaty.
In the interval between the break
ing up of the first Brest-Litovsk meet
ing and the one held late last week,
the Central powers added materially
to the demands which were outlined
when the now famous Hoffman line"
was drawn by the commander of the
German forces on the eastern front.

next LIBERTY LOAN
WILL OPEN APRIL 6
STARTS ON FIRST ANNIVERSARY
OF UNITED STATES ENTRY
INTO WORLD WAR.
AMOUNT OF LOAN NOT YET SET
Further Legislation Necessary Before
Plans Can Be Completed, Says
Secretary McAdoo.

Washington-On April 6, the first
anniversary of the United States entry
into the war the thirty Liberty loan
will open. There will be a campaign
of three or four weeks.
In announcing the date, Secretary
McAdoo said the amount Of the loan,
the interest rate and other features,
such as convertibility of bonds of pre-
vious issues, maturity and terms of
payment, are yet to be determined
and that new legislation will be neces-
sary before plans can be completed
The fact that the amount of the loan
is dependent on further legislation in
dicates it will be for more than S3,-
600 100000, the remainder of the au-
thorized but unissued bonds, and the
fact that certificates of Indebtedness
now being sold in anticipation of the
loan bear 4 1-2 per cent, affords some
indication of the interest rate.
How large the loan shall be depends
largely, however, on the fate of the
pending war finance bill, carrying an
appropriation of a half billion dollars
and action on the railroad bill. with
its appropriation of similar amount.
Although Mr.. McAdoo made no spe-
cifc announcement, it is taken for
granted in official circles that there
will be only one more loan before
June 30, the end of the fiscal year.
The statement concerning the date
of the campaign was made at this time,
Secretary McAdoo explained, to give
every community time to prepare for
the big bond sale, and he strongly
advocated popular demonstrations of
patriotism on tn day of the opening
of the loan and the second year of
war.

REHABILITATE WARS WRECKS
Congress Asked to Provide Means for
Educating Crippled Soldiers.

Neutrality-suspicious. the end of the
summer the tide of wounded American
hghtfng men, many Of whom will re-
quire special vocational re-education
before returning to industrial life, will

the imperative need of congressional
legislation authorizing the establish
ment OF an adequate system for the
rehabilitation of disabled men.
In estimates already submitted to
congress the board pointed out that
100000 out of every 100000 soldiers
sent to France will be returned during
the first year of fighting, and that in
struction in new lines Of industry will
be needed for 10000 annually. who will

AUTO SKlDS IN RIVER, TWO DIE
Car Leaves Road When Driver Turns
Out for Team at Bridge.

Plymouth-Ralph Tothran, "a years
old, and his sister, Mrs. Margie Dow,
20, were drowned in River Rouge last
Friday, when the automobile they were
