FLOUR SALES
TO Be CUT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-To create
q large export surplus of flour for the
allies. the food administration is con-
sidering q plan Of forced reduction in
flour sales all the way from the miller
to the consumer. MilIers, wholesalers,
retailers. and bakers probably will be
required to hold their sales of flour
down to IS per cent of the amount now
handled.
As the allies are demanding from
rs, ,oOo,o0 to 1o0.00O,00O more bushels
Of wheat, the food administration has
arranged to take over 80 per cent of
Americas flour production out of
which will be selected supplies for eX-
port.
Food administration officials believe
the United States can give Europe
9O,000,000 bushels of wheat made into
flour between now and the time the
new American crop comes in, without
endangering the supply.

Failure to Accept Brings

GAUNTLET IS THROWN
fBy Associated Press

Germany. under control of the mil
itary party. has thrown down the
gauntlet to Russia and defined Rus
sian frontier line beyond which the
Russians must not claim further In
fuence, according to the latest Petro-
grad advices.
The Russian peace negotiations at
Brest-Litovsk have been told the real
German terms, the dispatches state.
and it is revealed that these include
the abandonment by Russia of Court
land and all the Baltic coast land.
Unless the Russians consent to these
terms by January 29, when the peace
conference is to reconvene, the ne
gotiations will be broken off and the
Reval. on the Gulf OF Finland, within
week, the terms stipulate.
1t is considered significant that this
ultimatium was laid down by General
Hoffman. who represents the German
army, at the peace conference, indi-
eating the predominance Of the mil
itary elements.
Here Is Hun Line.
The line which the Germans are de-
clared to have indicated as the future
frontier of Russia runs from the Gulf
of Finland, east of Moon Island, TO
Walk. west of Minsk, and south to
BrestLitoysk.
AS bait to the Ukranians, the Aus
frians are reported to be offering TO
cede them the CholIntchina district,
which appears to be a corner of Rus
sian Poland just west OF Volhynia.
This is to be given to the Ukraine
in case it consent to send food stuffs
to the central powers Immediately
II was to obtain an opportunity for
laying the ultimatum of the central
powers before the Russian soldiers
and workmen's bodies that Leon

The Germans are said to have grant
ed the postponement reluctantly and
to have declared it was the last one
to which they would consent.
In the field of military operations
the principal developments have been
on the Italian front. where the Austro
German invaders have made the first
important retrograde movement re-
ported since their big invasion be-
gan The recent brilliant successes
of the French on the Italian front
led to the retreat.
