An order was issued by William
Elliott, fod administrator for South
Carolina, that no Wholesale or retail
dealer in South Carolina may pur

administration.
~This ruling Of the state food ad.
ministration applies to all who deal in
flour, including commissaries.
This action has been taken by the
fod administrator simply as all emer,

crop comes in there will be close fig
uring to keep an adequate -four sup
ply. Steps are therefore taken to
assure to the people of South Carolina
hat one section of the state will not
be plentifully supplied with flour
while another section goes begging
because OF the lack Of -four. The ap.
peal to the people Of the state is to be
fair and liberal to their n%eighbors. The
new crop will be available by August.
The order reads as follows:
"To Wholesale and Retail Flour Deal

"You are hereby notified 10 apply

When this inventory is completed

craft engineers, contend that the re-
suits obtained at the New York fac
tory, where the Sunbeam is being
manufactured for Great Britain.
demonstrate that the Sunbeam is a
practical motor and the Liberty is
not.
The papers given 10 the president
it is understood, are to be used by
him in connection with his personal
inquiry into the neutrality-suspicious.
program The report of his personal
committee of inquiry, of which H
Snowden Marshall is the chairman
is to be made TO the president next
week, probably on Wednesday, The
president then will have information
on conditions in the aircraft plants,
the causes OF delays and the difficult
ties Of producing the Liberty motor,
and with the data given him today a
comparison with the merits OF the
Sunbeam engine.
The chief Importance in the Pres
ident's action in receiving facts
about the Sunbeam engine, it was
pointed out, arises from the recent
tacit admissions by officials in
charge of the aircraft program that
the Liberty motor was not adapted
to highspeed fighting planes, but
would be used chiefly in bomb-drop-
ping machines. II IS contended that
in this respect the Sunbeam engine
is superior to the Liberty motor, as
the construction Of the latter of nc
cessity confines it to light weight
carrying bombing planes. In other
words, it is insisted, the Liberty mo-
tor is not fast enough to catch high
speed fighting planes-or to escape
them-and in addition lacks the
chief attributes Of the bonn bling
plane motor, where weight carrying
and not speed is essential.
Gasoline Consumption Compared.
The Sunbeam engine consumes, ii
is stated, nineteen and half gallons
| of gasoline an hour, while the Liber-
| ty motor consumes thirty-six. The
Sunbeam is 320horsepower en-
CINE and the Liberty $50.
| The Liberty motor, while having
light weight and power necessary

| reason Of its bulky construction and

high-speed machines in Europe the
| propeller stands out and well away
| from the motor.

been used on aircraft motors.

Rejected Motor Said
to Be Superior to
Engine Approved

Washington. April 3.-Facts in
connection with the rejection by the
war department of the offer OF the
British government for the use OF
the Sunbeam aircraft motor, which.
il. is said, is superior to the Liberty
motor for heavy bombing planes,
were laid before President Wilson.
Papers were presented to the
president showing that the head Of
the combustion engine division OF
the British air ministry made for
NAL offer to the American authorI-
ties to permit use OF the sunbeam
motor shortly after the United States
declared war on Germany.
The offer, it was stated today, was
made because the Sunbeam engine
is adapted 70 quantity production,
and the papers presented 10 the
president show that during March
1000 Sunbeam engines were manu-
featured in the United States and de-
Hyered to the British government
ct Toronto Some Of Them already
have arrived in England. The high
est estimates of Liberty motor de-
liveries abroad are that ten have
been shipped. and production Of the
Sunbeam engine in the United States
was started after the Liberty motor
had been approved by Secretary of
War Baker.
The only explanation given for
the rejection OF the offer OF the Sun
beam engine has been that at the
time the United States was develop
ing its own, which would be superior
to anything in use in Europe. The
Liberty motor was developed, and
officials of the aircraft board in
sisted a few days ago that it is SUI
perior to European engines.

War Has Not Put
Entire Stop to An
immigration to u. S

Washington, April 3.-While war
has stemmed the tide of immigration
ii has not entirely stopped it, And
as the flow of immigrants from
Europe has been cut down to COM
paratiVely nothing, it has increased
al the Canadian, Mexican and Paci-
fic stations.
For a decade before the war, the
annual influx Appropriated mil
lion year. From July to December
last year the number fell to SO,222.
Moreover, the decreasing stream of
newcomers is being offset to a re-
markable degree by the exodus from
America of those desiring to return
to their native lands. In fact, the de-
parture outnumbered the admittanc-
es in November and December.
A great many of those leaving the
country since the beginning Of the
war have been allied reservists who
have gone back to answer the call to
the colors.
While war conditions have cur
tailed the usual duties of the immi-
grafton service, a new field has been
opened that requires even more in
tensive application and effort. Be-
ginning with the seizure of the Ger
man ships, the service has been call
ed upon to assist other agencies of
the government in many important
lines OF work. Especially have the in
spectors been active in prohibiting
the entrance Or departure Of enemy
aliens, IN the detection OF spies, the
surveillance and apprehension of
suspects and in capturing draft law
evaders.
A great part Of the facilities of
the immigration stations, especially
along the Atlantic coast, have been
turned over to other lines of war
Work. The great receiving depot at
Ellis Island now is devoting only "a
or 30 per cent of its space to hand
ling immigration, and somewhat
similar conditions exist at other At
| lantic ports.
| AS ever, the service is employed
| actively in preventing surreptitious

Although the traffic has been cut

ment of the practice.
i Tie number OF stowaways ON
ships was twice as many in the last
half OF 1917 as in the preceding
twelve months, SO altogether having
! been detected and debarred. Includ.
ed in the number were several Ger.
man soldiers who deserted, led to
neutral countries, then sought to
find safe haven by hiding on Am
erica-bound vessels.
Although the tide of immigration
dropped from million to 300, 900

since steadily been on the decline
