lation of these orders, which become
effective at once, will result in ac-
ton by the Food Administration.
An explanation of the ruling reg
ulating the use of wheat flour by
bakers was also issued by the local
food administration this morning
Bakers using wheat flour with sub
stitutcs should. mix their flour or
dough, using seventy-five pounds of
wheat flour with twenty-five pounds
of substitutes, to comply properly
with the regulations. Bakers have
in some cases thought they were
obeying the law by mixing twenty
five pounds of substitutes with 100
pounds of wheat, thereby making a
20 per cent. mixture. The law re-
quires twenty-five pounds of substi-
tutes with seventy-five pounds of
wheat or a 20 per cent. mixture.
All bakers making sweet crackers,
biscuits, fancy cakes and similar
products, are notified that they
must limit the wheat used in these
products in 1918, between January
and July, inclusive, to 20 per cent.
of the amount used from February
to July 81, 1917.
Must BE Licensed
Another ruling issued this morn
ing is to the effect that all whole
salers, jobbers, brokers or commits
sion dealers, no matter how small
their annual transactions, who are
handling food products, are subject
to license.
"This ruling applies also to dealers
doing a combination wholesale or
jobbing and retail business, no
matter how small the wholesaling
and jobbing transactions. Anyone
who makes any sales at all to retail
dealers, hotels. restaurants or public
bakers is a wholesaler or jobber.
These explicit rulings were re-
quired because of the widespread
belief that dealers doing less than
100000 n year business were ex-
empt from the license provisions
The 100000 business exemption
clause applies only to strictly retail.

facts and documents, for obvious rea-
sons, cannot be disclosed at this
time, nor can the means of COM
munication between Germany and
Ireland.
One phase of every plan called for
the establishment of submarine
bases in Ireland. In the present cir
cumstances, it is added, no other
course was open to the government
"if useless bloodshed wan to be avoid
ed and it's duties to its allies fulfilled,
but to. intern the authors and abet-
tors of this criminal intrigue"
Depended on U-boats
In the statement from the official
press bureau it is evident the new
rising depended largely upon the
landing of munitions from subma-
rines. The statement says: There
in evidence to show that it was
planned to follow successful Ger
man offensive in the west and was
to take place at a time when Great
Britain presumably would be
stripped of troops"
According to documents found 1t
was the hope to be able to master
100000 trained men. There is evil
dence that German munitions actu-
ally had been shipped on submarines
from Cuxhaven in the beginning of
May and that for some time German
have been busy off the
west coast of Ireland on other err
rands than the destruction of allied
shipping. IT is thus seen that the
negotiations between the executives
of the Sim Fein organization and
Germany have been virtually con-
tinuous for three a half years.
New Plan Imminent
This year plans for another ris-
ing in connection with the German
offensive on the west front were ma
turing and new shipment of arms
from Germany was imminent.
AN important feature of every
plan was the establishment of sub
marine bases in Ireland to menace
the shipping of all nations.
"In the circumstances no other
course was open to the government
If useless bloodshed was to be avoid
ed and it's duty to it's allies fulfilled
but to intern the authors and abet-
tors of this criminal Intrigue"

whose air exploits have been recorded
up to this time belong to this
squadron, which has a special insig-
MIA. The squadron is flying in Nieu-
port chasing machines.
The first victories, in which the
American squadron brought down
two German machines. were gained
the day after they took up flying on
this sector. The occupants of the
German machines were made pris-
oners.
other machines aside from those in
this squadron. it is permitted to
mention, also are flying on the Toul
front. The fact that an American
squadron had tried not to be men
toned previously was because 1t was
not desired that the Germans should
know of the fact.
But there have been so many fights
at close range and two American
machines have fallen that 1t is be-
lieved certain the enemy knows an
American squadron is now operating
on this front. There is also the fact
that Captain James Norman Hall has
fallen behind the German lines and
been made a prisoner.
Lieutenant Edward Buford, Jr., of
Tenn, to-day was official
ly credited with shooting down
German airplane over st. Mihiel on
May 22.
American ayiators have shot down
two more German airplanes north

There has heen no change in the
situation on the battlefields of North

their vaiding operations, with the
Germans paying most attention TO
the line between the Somme and
Albert Elsewhere on the front ne

and French patrols have captured

The weat ther has changed for the
worse and rain is reported falling
generally on the Somme and Picardy
fronts. This imposes additional
hardships on the Germans who oc-

the Allies hold the high ground. most

other American aviators. Two
American machines have fallen
while at least six Germans have
been brought down by the Ameri-

ANT NURSES OF BUTTERFLIES
lists Have Observed Between Crea-
lures Which are Enemies.

Ants and butterflies are not ordinar-
lily on friendly terms, for ants have a
ruthless custom of Selling and devour-
ing their winged acquaintances. There
is, however, one species of butterfly
the larvae of which are protected by
the large black ants found in Indian
gardens.
The secret of this care lies in the
fact that the larvae give out a sweet
liquid of which the ants are very fond,
and which they obtain by gently strok-
ing the little creatures with their an
tennae. At the foot of bush ON
which the larvae feed, the ants con-
struct a temporary nest and are then
ready to act as attentive nurses.
About the middle of June the ants
are busy running about on this bush
in search of the larvae, and driving
them downward toward their own
nest. When the prisoners reach their
places, they at once fall into pupae.
During this period, if the loose earth
at the foot of the bush be scraped
away, hundreds of larvae and pupae
may be seen arranged In broad even
baud about its trunk.
In about a week the butterfly is
ready to come forth and is tenderly
assisted to leave it's shell. If it is
strong and healthy, it is allowed TO
spread it's wings and fly away, but
should it prove delicate the ants exer-
else the utmost care in assisting 1t to
the tree, and holding 1t there in safe
ty. It is curious sight to watch these
fragile creatures going about in per-
feet confidence among the fierce ants,
which have, however, by no means
adopted the profession of nursing for
the love of it, for when the larvae of
another species are thrown among
them they Immediately set upon them
and tear them in pieces.

two of which, those at Kabul and He
rat, were under German military ex-
perts for some time. Abdur Rahman
used his subsidy money in buying guns,
