Farmers of Florida are assured in

despite the apparent chaos which ap-
pears in the railroad world. The
senior senator from Florida writes
the result of his interviews with a
number of officials lin Washington
on the subject, the communication
having been addressed to a Gaines

plies with equal force and directness

desire me to ascertain the attitude
of government officials toward the

to inform you that | have discussed
the matter with the Chief of the Bu-
reau OF Car Service of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and with the
United States Food Administrator,
and with the Director General of
Railroads, and am advised by them
that there is no reason why anyone
should be unduly alarmed regarding
the transportation of any food and
food products during the coming
season, and that every effort should
be put forward ticrease produe-
ton. These officia1s srate it is thei~
desire and intention cooperate in
every manner possih,s with the

in order that preferential attention
may be given to the ms iSeting of all
such products
The unusual conditKis which re-
Gently prevailed in tie North and
Middle West, were du4 TO a general

shipments making il necessary for
the government to take over the
operation of the q .roads, and to
one of the worst billiards. in many
years which combine ion of circum-

the transportation companies to
properly handle reh shipments.
However. 1 am inforBszd normal con-

there should be no further cause for
complaints unless another similar
condition arises, which is thought
quite improbable.
Assuring you of my desire TO serve

generally as well or better than in

Harry L. Beeman, United States
Food Administration Hotel represen-
tative for Florida, gives out his first
notice to the hotels and restaurants
of this state, as follows:
'1t becomes my duty to notify all
hotels and restaurants of Florida
that they are, expected to give strict
observance to the ''wheatless and
meatless days" as set apart by the
United States Food Administration.
Tuesday will be observed as a meat
less day, and on that day no beef,
pork, or mutton shall be served.
will be observed as a
wheatless day, and on this day no
wheat bread, or cakes made of wheat
flour shall be served. Corn cakes,
corn bread, mullins, rye bread, etc,
may be served in place of wheat
bread or biscuits. SATURDAY. shall be
observed as a porkless day, and on
this day no bacon, ham, pork, fresh
or salt, shall be used.

Named Hotel Representative
For the State of Florida

citizens of the state. Being located
IN Orlando, he will be in close touch
with Food Administrator Beacham
and will be able to put in effect such
movements as mean success for the
hotel and restaurant campaign. Mr.
Beenan has been notified that the
results obtained I'm Florida among
the hotels and restaurants is far
from satisfactory and he will i'm
mediately institute measures that
will get the required attention and
obeyance from the hotel proprietors
and the restaurant men. The main
object to be accomplished is the OBJ
servance of the wheatless and meat
less days, and unless all places which
cater to the travelling public or serve
meals TO the public conform more
closely to the general program, some
radical steps will be taken by the
new hotel representative under
authority given him by Food Admin
istrator Beacham.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-01-21

Further than the above regula-
tions, homes of the country have
been called upon to have one meat
less meal each day, and | urge upon
all hotels and restaurants that they
ask their patrons TO follow as close
ly as possible the rules that are OBJ
served in the home. l want to see
all hotels and restaurants come out
boldly and patriotically in their stand
on these matters, and l want them
to get together in their respective
towns and cities, and proclaim
through the newspapers that they
are going to do their part. Florida
has been accused of falling behind in
the matter of food conservation in
hotels and restaurants, and | am now
asking that each and every hotel or
restaurant proprietor in the state,
write to me at Orlando, Florida, and
notify me of their determination to
abide by the Food Administration
rulings

BUSINESS PLANTS HERE AND
EISEwHERE REMAIN CisOSE1A

Virtually no change has been made
in the administration of the fuel or
der either locally or in the state. AM
the various business plants which
closed Friday under orders of the ad-
ministration will remain closed until
the embargo is lifted tomorrow
night.
Through the interruption Of vari-
Gus authorities some misunderstand-
ing has resulted as to the applica-
ton of the order, but in a telegram
received yesterday by the local board
from State Administrators Williams
there is no change in the status Of
the business houses affected.
There is also some confusion be-
tween the two separate and distinct
regulations contained in the order,
according to H. II. Thornton of the
local advisory committee. and it is
explained that the heatless day or
der, setting aside Mondays as days
on which no fuel will be used, and the
factory closing order effective for
five days, have nothing whatever in
common, and that after the hve days
are over. the industrial plants will
not be forced to comply with the
heatless Monday regulations. 1t is
also pointed out that the buildings,
business houses. and other places aft
fected by the heatless Monday order
are not forced to close for the five
day period which governed certain
specified industries
Because of the interference of 9TH
er agencies with the operation of the
factory closing section of the order,
the local committee has made every
effort to clear up the situation by
definite statement from
State Administrator Williams.
Following are two kilograms sent
to Mr. Williams by Mr.. Thornton,
and the reply thereto:

Constituent Assembly Ad-
journs When German
Troops not Moved
HOPE FOR PEACE
NOW FAR DISTANT
. Stumbling Block Appears be
German Demands Were
Unsatisfactory
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Russian constituent assembly
was short lived. Thus for a moment
at least has passed away at its in
ception a legislative body through
which others hoped that order be
brought out of chaos which has ex-
listed in Russia since the revolution.
Likewise delegates to the peace con-
ference at Brest Litovsk are again
at skies and sevens, and the pour
parlers ended. The stumbling block
appears TO be German demands and
their refusal to withdraw troops
from the occupied portions of Russia.
Military operations are apparently
increasing on the western front.
Aerial activity is noted along the en-
tire French front. Fighting turned
to artillery actions in the Italian war
theatre.
Around Ypres and between Lens
and st. Quentin and the north Rhine
canal, there has been notable in
crease of infantry operations. Prob
abilities are with the return of good
weather it is expected, big battles
will take place.

HIGHER DEMURRACE
CHARGES In EFFECT

Washington, d. c., Jan. 20.-To
promote more prompt unloading of
freight cars, a new set of demurrage
rules for domestic traffic is to be
put into effect Monday on railroad
lines throughout the country. The
new order comes from William G.
McAdoo, director general of the rail
roads, and is intended to help toward
a solution of the problems arising
from scarcity of freight cars and
the difficulty of getting them re-
leased as well as the congestion in
terminals. Under the new rulings
heavy increases in demurrage charges
will be made unless cars are loaded
and unloaded with promptness.
