TO FORCE FOOD SAVING
Conservation Planned to Include
Public Eating Houses.
Private Households to Come Under
Anti-Hoarding Regulations
Planned.

Washington, Jan. 14.-To create a
larger export surplus of food for the
Allies enforced food conservatism in
restaurants and extension Of anti
boarding regulations to make them
apply to the household, are included
in the plans of the food administra-
ton
This was revealed in a statement by
Food Administrator Hoover, setting
forth that the Allies are in need Of
an additional 75,0OO,O0O to 9O.0O0,0 200
bushels of wheat and that they have
asked America to double meat ex-
ports. Only by further saving, Mr..
Hoover declared, can tie food be
shipped.
Holding more than 80 days supply
of food, whether by housewives, whole
salers, manufacturers or retailers,
will be construed as a violation of
law and will be followed by speedy
prosecution.
There is no need for rationing in
America, in MI. Hoover's opinion,
and with the supplementary regula-
tons there will be no shortages.
"Our 48 state food administrators
have been in session in Washington
the last few days devising with us a
further program of saving which we
will announce in a few days, in
which we count with confidence on
public support"

eral constitutional amendment won
in the lower house.
While members in their seats and
throngs in the galleries waited with
eager interest the House adopted by
a vote of 274 to 1876 a resolution
providing for submission to the
states of the so-called Susan B. An

But for the promise of Speaker
Clark to cast his vote from the chair
for the resolution if it was needed,
the change of a single vote to the

from a Baltimore hospital where he
has been under treatment ever

sentative Sims of Tennessee, just
out of a sick bed and hardly able to
walk to his seat, brought the vote
which settled the issue.

Concerted Stand Urged. a :.
mo single action by the United
States can be calculated to go fur
Their than this proposed action Of
Americas business men. It is more
potent in it's authority, perhaps,
than any similar warning coming
from official sources. The differ
ence lies in the fact that Germany,
might doubt where Congress would
sanction a treaty with the Allies
for a trade boycott of Germany or
that the people would abide by such
a treaty were it made. This, on the
other hand, would be a direct notice
to German business men that the
business men of America have taken
a concerted stand to close trade to
Germany as long as it remains an
outlaw.
1.-The further fact should be borne
in mind that the proposal to dis
criminate against German trade
after the war is not at variance
with the Presidents announced policy
not to continue after the war policies
which would engender hatred among
the nations.

Of coal to the less essential industries

ministrator Garfield to supply first

Destroys Interior of Giant Quar-

Washington Barracks.
four FIRES IN 10 DAYS
Mysterious BIazes Laid To %Incendia.

Munitions.

Washington, Jan. 15.-While firemen
and soldiers battled in the face of ex-
ploding munitions, which at times
shook the vicinity, flames destroyed
the interior of the giant quartermas-
tiers corps building at the Washington
barracks here. 1t was the fourth of
a series of mysterious fires to break
out in the building during the last 10
days and the loss may reach 100000.
Baker Orders Probe.
An immediate investigation was or.
dered by Secretary of War Baker, who
personally went to the scene and re-
manned until the flames were extin.
gufshed about noon.
/ Although Lieut.. Col. ]. H. Earle, in
charge of the post, stated no one is
suspected of firing the structure-a
three story brick building covering a
solid block-the guard was doubled
about the grounds as soon as the
flames were discovered and no one al.
flowed to enter or leave. No arrests
have been made thus far.
Soldiers Blame Incendiaries,
Soldiers from the post insisted the
blaze must have been incendiary.
Today the first flames were noted
about 9 o'clock in the second floor
where mattresses and wood shavings
were piled. This had no sooner been
extinguished than a second fire broke
out in an adjoining section.
Ammunition Set Off.
As the flames spread heat and fire
touched off quantities of small arms
ammunition stored in the building to.
gether with other commissary supplies.
Despite danger from these explosions,
dremen from IL stations stood their
ground and together with firemen from
the post played water over the flames
for more than three hours. No cas-.
nalties were reported, though a few
soldiers sustained minor injuries.
