Over s. R. Stewart & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, January 30.-Traffic news continues to hold attention and deter mine feeling and action in the market The divergent meaning of traffic condi- tions for different localities is causing transacting currents, resulting in np- parent irregularity between the markets, although the case is plain enough. New York being at the shut-off end of the traffic problem, should feel the bullisn effect of isolation while our market Is exposed to the reverse side of the case. This should ultimately result in widen ing of difference between markets.
 The weather map does not present a hopeful outlook, as 1t shows another strong cold wave spreading from tha western plateau over the entire country with minus temperatures in the grain states and freezing to the gulf and Att lantic coasts In the cotton belt. preceded by rain and snow in the southern portion of the belt, particularly the southeast ern quarter.

AMERICAN TROOPS LOST
IN TORPEDOED TRANSPORT
Fifty-six Americans in British Trans
port MOldayia, Lose Lives While
Crossing Channel From England to
France.

The British armed merchant troop
ship MOldavia, with American troops
on board, has been torpedoed and
sunk. according to an official bulletin
issued by the British admiralty.
Fifty-six American troops on the
British steamship Moldavia have been
unaccOunted for, says an official state
ment issued by the British admiralty.
The text of the admiralty statement
follows:
"The armed mercantile cruiser Mol
davia was torpedoed and sunk Thurs
day morning.
There were no casualties among
the crew, but of the American troops
on board Sc up to the present have not
been accounted for. 1t is feared they
were killed in one compartment by the
explosion.
"The Moldavia was torpedoed with
out warning. II was a moonlight
night and although a good lookout
was kept, the attacking submarine
was not sighted before the torpedo
struck.
Most OF the men aboard were in
their hammocks when the explosion
occurred dnllubulpS. lht ooAAOAS "N
soldiers alike showed no panic.
They fell calmly into line and
awaited orders. When it was seen
that the Moldavia VAS settling down
all on board we're taken off by the
escorting ships.
"The men lost all of their belong
ings but we're supplied with new cloth
ing at the different naval ports where
they we're taken.
II is believed that the American
soldiers missing from the Moldavla
we're sleeping on the bottom deck and
were overtaken by the great inrush
of water, after the explosion, when
they we're trying to reach the main
deck. 1t also Is presumed that some
of the ladders we're destroyed.
The vessel was struck below the
bridge. She steamed ahead for some
time after being struck and at first
Il was hoped that her water tight com
partments would enable her to reach
port.

WOULD RAISE AGE
FOR ENLISTMENT
Baker Would Lift Limit to 81 Lears to
Augment Man Power In War Ser
vice.

Another move toward full utiliza-
ton OF the country's man power was
made Friday when Secretary Baker
sent to congress the draft of a bill
proposing to raise the maximum age
limit for voluntary enlistment in the
army from 40 to 55 years. All men
over 80 so enlisted would be assigned
to non-combatant service.
In a letter to Speaker Clark asking
that the bill be pushed. Secretary Ba-
ker said:
Every man above the age of 40
years who is enlisted in non-combat-
ant branches of the service will make
available for duty with the line troops
a man within the prescribed age limit
for all troops.
Many men whose long experience
as mechanics and artisans will make
them particularly valuable TO the va
rious staff corps and departments.
may be thus secured instead of young
er men without such experience. and
the efficiency OF the staff corps and
the departments thus will be in
creased"
Would Give Large Force.
There probably are 1900. 900 men
between the ages of 40 and 55. and
many thousands of them have already
attested their desire TO serve by bonn
harding the department with applica-
tions. While the great majority of the
men in this class undoubtedly will be
restrained from enlisting by family
and business ties. the number al lib
erty 10 join the colors is expected TO
be more than sufficient to meet the
purpose in view.
Staff corps positions include many
duties behind the front. Every head
quarters unit includes a number of
positions for which the older men
would be just as we'll suited as the
present occupants, who. under the
new plan. would be released for line
duty.
Official estimates are hat a mod
ern army. to be maintained as an eff
cient unit. must have between 40 and
45 per cent Of its actual strength on
duty between the fighting zones. This
means that of the first 1000, 900 men
sent TO France 1000 o serve along the
line OF communication. in hospitals or
at the various headquarters and de-
barkation bases.

countries, our consumption of wheat
in the United States until the next
harvest must be reduced to approx
mately one-third of normal. II is in
conceivable that We should fail in this
crisis. For each OF us who can per-
sonally contribute to the relief Of hui
man suffering IL is a privilege. not a
sacrifice. All elements of our popu-
lation cannot bear this burden equally.
Those engaged in physical labors need
a larger bread ration than those in
the %sedentary occupations. Because
of the constant daily employment OF
women and the lack of home baking
facilities many households In large
urban centers require a food ration al
ready prepared such as the bakers
standard Victory bread loaf. Further
more we must constantly safeguard
the special requirements of children
and invalids.
To meet the situation abroad. and
to prevent serious suffering at home,
Il Is imperative that all those whose
circumstances permit shall abstain
from wheat and wheat products In any
form until the next harvest. II is re-
allied and deeply appreciated that
many organizations and some com
munities have already agreed to fol
low this plan.
II Is hoped that you will commune
cate this to your organization and your
community urging those whose cir
cumstances will permit to join with
us and take this stand.
