France, charged with beirAg involved
In German propaganda in France.
Though the state department re-

since Americas entry into the war to
checkmate the intrigues of the Ger

agents. following the trails of German
propagandists in this country, came
across evidence involving Caillanx is
regarded as entirely possible.
The suggestion was thrown out in
several quarters tonight that before

BILL INTRODUCED TO
LIMIT PORTIONS IN
PUBLIC EATING PLACES
Rich Man Willing to Pay sic for Meal
to BE Able to Buy no More Than
One of Small Purse.
HOME MEALS, HOWEVER,
ARE BEYOND LEGISLATION
New Measure Does Not Seek to Fix
Prices But to Prevent Wastefui
Dealing Out of Provisions In
Restaurants.

Washington, Jan. t6.-Rationing
for the American people is proposed
IN an administration bill presented to-
day by Senator Pomerene and Repre-
sentative Lever. OF South Carolina
the most radical food legislation yet
proposed In this country.
The bill is aimed particularly at
public eating houses and at the re-
tailers of food. Some of the restau-
rants are controlled by German sym-
pethixers. who have not hesitated to
violate the law In any endeavor to
hinder war preparation. Retailers
have charged higher prices than those
set by the government.
In addition. the bill. by the words
"other person" provides that practi-
cslly any one In this country may be
limited as food. For this reason. the
hacker OF the bill, while they con-
tend that it's passage is absolutely
necessary. feel that they have a stiff
fight I'm store for the measure.
Its terms provide that the rich man
willing to pay $40 for a meal shall be
able to buy no more than the ordinary
person. Public eating places where 1t
is estimated that so per cent of the
nations food is consumed. are af-
fected
In a statement explaining the bill.
Representative Lever said:
There should be power in this
hands of the food administration to
fix the portions OF vital necessities
that may be served to any one indi-
vfdual.
"Our food production is approach
Ing its maximum. The vital question
La conservation"
Home Meals Beyond Legislation
Tho Lever-Pomerene bill was drawn
under direction of Food Administrators
Hoover and was introduced in his be-
half 1t proposes not price control
but the fixing of the amount OF food
every American may eat in public
place. Home meals are declared be-
yond reach Of legislation.
Hearings will be begun at once and
the bill WITH be given right Of way
to Immediate passage. A friendly
