FLOODS IN SOUTH
 AND WEST FEARED
Empty Cars Rushed Westward to Provide for Emergency MOvements-Ohio is Flowing Through 70 Mile Ice Gorge.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Fearing ser ious floods in the Middle West and South within few days, the railroad administration today rushed empty cars westward from the Eastern con- gestion area to provide for an emer- gency movement of corn to elevators, and cotton to Southern seaports for transshipment to New England mills engaged on government orders.
 This was undertaken without any decrease of efforts to transport coal from the mines to the consumption points, where today the fuel reserves were reported as near the zero mark as any time within the last two weeks. Owing to the absence of new snow today and the steady clearing tracks of accumulated ice piles, the movement of coal was slightly better and officials predicted slight improve ment for the next few days.
 The danger of floods loomed large, however, with forecasts of warmer weather tomorrow for the Middle West and the gradual eastward move ment of the thawing area. The Ohio river is flowing through an ice gorge, 70 miles long, between Ohio and West Virginia and Kentucky, and slight thaw over it's northern watershed might send it into serious flood stage and endanger railroad bridges. Other streams in the Middle West and South have overfowed and are still rising.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
 TO ENGAGE IN CLUB WORK

Little Rock, Feb. Estate Superin- tendent Bond is engaged in vigor- ous campaign to encourage the boys and girls of the state to enlist in the club work. He says:
 "The teacher, more than any one else, is in a position to stimulate and inspire the young people of our coun- try along this line of work. Through the teachers, the children can be easily led to see the educational value of club work, and they will respond with interest and enthusiasm if led in the right spirit by those in whom they place the greatest confidence.
 During the month of February every teacher of the state is asked to get in touch with the county demon stration agent and canning club agent

WILSON ASKS FOR
 UNITY IN SENATE
Repeats Opposition to Bills For War Cabinet and Munitions DirectOr-SenatOrs Planning Speeches in Support of Bill.

Washington, Feb. 1.-In emphasiz- ing his opposition to the Senate mili- tary committees bills for a war cabi- net and munitions director, Presi- dent Wilson urged upon another group of Democratic senators called to the White House today, the necessity of avoiding as far as possible agitation in Congress that might encourage the enemy and give the impression of dis cord.
 The president forcefully repeated his objections to the proposed legis- lation and declared he would not con- sider a compromise. He said both the bills are obnoxious to him, because they are unnecessary and would en- barrass and deprive him of authority in the prosecution of the war.
 Although all senators present were in accord with the presidents posi- tion and confident that the legisla- ton will be defeated, they said Sena- tor Hitchcock, Democrat, and Wads- worth, Republican, are both planning speeches in the Senate early next week in support of the bills and could not be stopped under the Senate rules. Administration senators will reply and it is hoped that will end the debate.

GERMAN SITUATION
 SEEMS LESS TENSE
Strikes Apparently Dwindle as Government Takes Stern Mea- sures-Many Are Reported Idle, However.

New York, Feb. With the mili- tary operations on all the major bat tie fronts continuing far below nor maj, the internal political situations in Germany, Russia and Finland still are first in general interest. In all !. three of these countries the turbu- fence continues. In Germany alone, although apparently many strikers throughout the empire thus far have failed to return to work, there seem- ingly has been lessening in the ten- sity of the situation; in Russia the strife between the Bolsheviki and the counter revolutionary factions again has increased, while in Finland the struggle between the White Guard, representing the new government, and the Red Guard, which is opposing it, goes on.
 From Hungary colnese a reiteration of the sincere and earnest desire of that country for peace, made before the Diet by the prime minister.
 The failure of German newspapers to arrive at the usual neutral points from which news of conditions in Germany is disseminated, leaves veil of uncertainty over conditions there. Such advices as have come, however, tend to indicate that the strike has reached it's greatest height and now is dwindling. This is ascrib- ed to the seeming lukewarmness of the labor leaders toward the move- ment and also in great part to the strong oppressive measures of the gov ernment.
 Following close upon the action of the military commander in Hamburg declaring martial law, the commander in chief in Brandenburg province, in which Berlin is situated, has placed the hard hand of the military upon the strikers under his jurisdiction Under "more drastic state of siege" the commander informs the popula- tion that he will suppress every at tempt at breach of the peace with all means at his disposal He warns or derly citizens to take no part in public meetings and to avoid the crowds. and concludes by saying that if arms have to be used mo distinction can be made between the disturbers of order and those who are not taking part in such disturbances"

require boards to scrutinize marriages since May IS, 1917, it was never in tended that the rule should raise the presumption that every marriage since that date was effected with the primary purpose of evading military service. That rule was intended to authorize the boards to disregard the relationship created by clearly estab- lished stacker marriages as a condi- tion of dependency, but each case must be carefully examined on it's own mer- it's. No general rule can be laid down but it may be stated that a marriage that carries no equivocal circumstance other than it's date is not to be so dis regarded"

ARGENTINE TAXES
 STEP TOWARD WAR
Has Recalled Military Attaches
 From Berlin and Vienna-Be-
 lieved Republic Intends to take Some Decisive Action at Last.

Buenos Aires, Feb. 1.-The minister of war has recalled Argentina's mili- tary attaches from Berlin and Vienna. In political circles, this action is re- garded as significant and connected with the sinking of the Argentine steamship Ministro Irriendo January 26th
 The Argentine minister to France has confirmed the fact that the steam ship was flying the Argentine flag when sunk. The government had not announced by what authority the change of flags was made after leav- ing this countrywide vessel having sailed under the French flag-but re- ports the sinking as an unfriendly act, even though the use of the home flag was unauthorized. It is assumed in political circles here that Germany does not intend to keep her promise in regard to Argentina's shipping.
 The situation here is intense. Au- thorities are silent, but several events at the government house late today lead to the belief that the government at last is preparing to take an im- portant step. After an unusually long lapse of time, the foreign office today replied to the notes of Peru and Uru- quay, which notified Argentina of their rupture of relations with Ger many and that of Brazil, informing Argenetina of her sister country's state of war with the Central powers.
 Argentina, in the three notes sent in reply, expressed her appreciation and warmest sympathy with the three other South American countries. The note to Brazil, which was the most significant, says that the Argentine government has followed all the phases of the causes which led to 'this just resolution" and closes with an expression of homage to the Bra gillian nation.
 These notes and the simultaneous recall of the military attaches from

AN07HER WARNING
 ID THE BROTHERS
Must Not Raise Prices of Wheat Flour Substitutes, Says HOOv- er-May Have Supplies Cut of for Non Compliance.

Washington. Feb. 1.-Unwarranted rr;ee increases in wheat flour sub sttutes will not be permitted. The flood administration tonight warned dealers that they must not take ad- vantage of temporary shortages in other cereals, caused by the heavy de- mand the new baking regulations has caused.
 Many complaints reached Food Ad- ministrator Hoover today that deal CTS in the substitutes have raised their prices.
 Mills of the country" said Mir. Hoover, "are prepared to meet the greater demand of housewives and bakers for other cereals during the next few months. Lack of transporta- tion is the only factor that will stand in the way of proper distribution throughout the country.
 "At least one of the substitutes is produced in quantity in almost every part of the country. If any shortages occur they will be local. The supply of substitutes is ample to meet our neesd and it is expected that with the freer movement of grains to the mills and of the finished product to the consumer lower prices than those now prevailing will result.
 "The normal tendency of local scarcities would be to advance prices out of line with the cost of produc- ton and distribution. Under the food control act this will not happen. All licensees dealing in food commodities who do not give their customers the benefit of fair and moderate prices will have their license revoked.
 Unlicensed food retailers who sell at more than a reasonable profit will have their supplies cut off through the notification of all licensees by the food administration forbidding them to receive orders for food from such retailers"

.FOOG ADMINISTRATOR
 YOUNG ISSUES ORDERS
s. R, Young. Recently Appointed Food Administrator for Ne vada County, Asks COopera- tion of People.

Effective at once and until further notice, merchants (dealers in food stuffs) are requested not to advertise for sale, flour and sugar, but rather substitutes, to the end that flour and sugar may be conserved.
 No merchant or dealer in foodstuffs in Nevada county will be permitted to sell sugar in excess of five pounds to each town customer or 10 pounds to each county customer, or more than fifty pounds of flour or 30 days supply.
 It has been found that country mer- chants have encouraged farmers to buy flour and sugar in large quantities which in the eyes of the food law is hoarding. This practice must be stopped at once, as my duty will be to report all such violations and drastic steps may be expected to follow
 All meat markets will close on Tuesdays of each week in so far as the sale of beef, pork and mutton is concerned. They will also refuse to sell pork either fresh or cured, or pork products on Saturday of each week. This also applies to meat peddlers or where meat is sold from wagons.
