AMERICANS To CUT
WHEAT RATION HALF
SUPPLY AT THE BATTLE FRONTS
MUST BE DOUBLED TO MEET
ARMY NEEDS.
Sacrifice in Wheat Ration Will Entail
No Hardship to Americans Be-
cause OF Supply Potatoes, Corn,
Oats and Milk Is Ample.

shingtOn.-Further reduction in
the consumption of wheat was asked
of the public March % by the food adj
ministration, that the scant supplies
available before the next harvest may
be stretched to meet the needs of
the army, domestic consumers and the
allies.
Every American is requested to cut
his average ration of wheat by 80 per
cent, which would reduce the total
monthly normal consumption to 81
100000 bushels. That gives a ration
of not more than one and one-half
pounds of wheat products weekly for
each person. Flour sales will be cut to
one-eighth of barrel for a town Gus
toner and to one-quarter of barrel
for any country customer that re-
tailers' stocks may be distributed to as
great a number as possible.
The wheat content of bakers bread
will be reduced to rs per cent on
April IA, which increases by 5 per
cent the amount of substitutes that
must be used.
Sacrifice in the wheat ration will
entail no hardships in the opinion of
food administration officials, because
the supply of potatoes. corn, oats and
milk is ample to maintain health.

MUST HAVE ARMY
OF FIVE MILLION
SPEED HUGE AMERICAN ARMY TO
FIRING LINE TO SAVE DAY,
GENERAL WOODS PLEA.
Every Other Consideration Should Be
Laid Aside, in His Opinion, to
Crowd Trained Armies
Upon French Soil.

Washington. must have an
army Of 100000 men, half Of whom
must be sent nc once 10 the western
battle front of Europe.
This is the message which Major
General Leonard Wood brought from
France 10 the military affairs commit
tee Of the senate and delivered to that
committee Ia executive session Mon
! day afternoon. II may result in action
/ by the committee TO speed upon legis-
lation for raising the draft age and
otherwise increasing the nations
armies
The supreme need Of the hour, Cen
eral Wood told the committee, is more
man power. The sooner an army of
100000 men Is landed in France by
the United States the sooner will come
the end of the war Every other con
sideratiOn should be laid aside, In Gen
eral Woods opinion, to crowd trained
armies and their necessary supplies
upon French soil.
So overpowering Is this need for
men, Genera! Wood said that although
there Is no ordnance of American man
ufacture on the allies front, the Brit
ish ana French governments will be
able TO supply all the guns needed If
America will only furnish the men to
handle them.
General Wood praised highly the ma
tional army and expressed the opinion
hot .I4 Of Ia. ~ ola, fif.a-
ton now in training camps should be
dispatched 10 France Immediately. He
pronounced them as whole splendid
body of soldiers, whose devotion to
training had rendered them ready for
active service.
To take the places of these men,
General Wood recommended immediate
drafts from the eligible registrants and
raising of the draft limit so that there
may be more men to draw from until
100000 are In the training camps.
General Wood found no discourage
ment In the latest news of the German |
offensive. He said that the British had |
fully prepared for 1t, although they had |
not anticipated the drive would be so
rapid or that they would be compelled |
10 lose so large a number of guns.
The roads behind the British lines |
may also be used by the retreating
forces, but not by the enemy.
II was pointed out by General Wood
that while the Germans are obliged to
make their advances over rough, she'll
torn roads, the British have the adj
vantage of smooth territory over which
to conduct their withdrawal.
General Woods view of the entire
was highly optimistic and he
expressed himself to the committee as
being entirely satisfied of the success
of the allies in stopping the present
drive. He praised the morale of the
British and French. who are in active
contact with the enemy, and said he
was much gratified to find the splendid
spirit and courage of the Americans.
