The Fate of the Unhappy Princess
Beaten and Turned Out of Doors

Prince Sergius obtained leave of absence
from his regiment and took his charming bride
to Paris and then to Spain. Suddenly-this was
early in l914-the Prince was recalled by his
regimental commander

bring her to St. Petersburg under the protection
of imperial favor
Alone in Madrid, With only a professional
duenna as her chaperone. and with the tastes for
pleasures that would especially appeal to an
emancipated dancing girl who had been since her
childhood spectator of the sensuOus indulgences
with which the gay aristocrats OF the Russian cap
ital whiled away their lives, the young Princess
fell easy prey to the temptations that surrounded
her She found a kindred spirit in Nine. Nezie,

world and became Nine Nezie 8 closest intimate.

dismayed. 1t seemed as if she were lost. In
her distress she appealed to her husband at St.
Petersburg, and urged him to come to her at
once The gallant young Prince left for Spain
as soon as he could obtain permission from his
commandant
Prince Sergius was very wrathful when he
learned the true state of affairs. He was more
so when the gossip and rumors which the arrest
had precipitated informed him somewhat of the
extent to which the Princess had strained her
faithfulness to him. The elimination OF an ex
citing scene in the chateau which had been Nine

Russian husband He left the young Princess a
hysterical crumDled heap on the floor, bruised
and smarting, with great welts across her shOul-

not with any intimacy. But Senior Psscuale
was powerful in government circles. The Min

the young woman 8 release. The Minister found
it advisable though. to stipulate that Nine. Nezie
and the Count de Beville should leave the soil Of
Spain within forty-eight hours
Just the other day Senor Pascuale found it
urgent for him to leave Spain. The allies had
discovered that he was one of the chiefs of the

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL.

A general idea of the quantity Of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July /, 1914, to
January 1, 1918. is given by figures
Just announced by the U. 8. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 81 1905 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion Of the diet
for "a. .194, $40 additional men.
The total export Of wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal allies 10
equivalent to about 3S4 ,OOO. 900 bushels.
Pork exports for the an years amount
ed to almost 1000. .OOO, 600 pounds. Ex-
ports Of fresh beef totaled 443, ,4S4, 400
pounds. The amount of food exported
to Russia Is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

Colorado was too brief to justify him

pressed with the suggestion that a
very speedy way to secure united ac-

would be for the present state commit

the Republicans of the state to elect

a remade committee would repre-

To effect the needed saving OF wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
1. Householders to use not to exceed
a total OF III pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than IN pounds of
Victory bread containing the required
percentage Of substitutes and one-half
pound of cooking -four. macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies. cakes. wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined.
2. Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, a. at present.
In addition thereto. not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate Of bFeadstuffs. macaroni,
crackers, pastry. pies. cakes. wheat
breakfast cereals, containing Total
Of more than two ounces Of wheat
flour. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds Of wheat products for
each ninety meals served. thus con-
forming with the limitations requested
Of tho householders.
3. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth Of a barrel of -four to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-Quarter Of barrel
to any country customer at any one
time, and In no case to sell wheat
products without the sale of an equal
weight of other cereals.
4. We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold, by delivery of the three-quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding proportions
In other weights. We also ask bakers
not to increase the amount Of their
wheat flour purchases beyond 10 per
The Delta independent., 1918-04-12

cent. Of the average monthly amount
purchased In the four months prior to
March /.
5. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
8. There Is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, fiours. and meals. corn.
barley. buckwheat, potato flour. ct
cetera
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever. except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing 20 In perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There Is no reason why all Of
the American people who are able to
cook in their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use Of
less wheat products than one end one
half pounds a week. and we specially
ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts Of the community less able
to adapt themselves to 30 large q pro-
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
solutely demanded Of US to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-opera-
ton of the public by a further limita-
ton of distribution. and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience. sacrifice
and cooperation Of the distributing
trades.
