tain so per cent of wheat flour and

and the proportion of substitute used.

graham flour or meal will be con-
sidered victory -four. provided % per
cent of the wheat berry Is used in
their manufacture.
Retailers may carry for the ac-
commodation of their customers
straight white -four. but they must
have in their stock at the same time
either barley flour, corn meal or corn
-four, and one pound of substitute

all breakfast foods from the list OF
substitutes. Oatmeals, rolled oats,
hominy, hominy Grits, rice and corn
starch will no longer be classed as
substitutes.

HOPES ASSASSIN
WILL GET KAISER

CHICAGO. Aug. 2s.-Russia should
be given credit for useful acts of war.
as a result of the deaths of Ambas-
sador Won Mirbach and Field Marshal
Won Eichhorn, in the opinion OF Prof.
samuel N. Harper, head OF Chicago
University's Russian department. He
made the statement in an interview
today.
ut would be an interesting contri-
button IL a Russian got the Kaiser"
he declared. From the confusion Of
the last few months in Russia" Prof,
Harper continued, there seems to be
emerging the country's constructive
forces that have had to lie low during
the period of bolshevism.
THE Bolsheviki have run their
course and failed. They will return
t. the old lines Of agitation and propa.
Ssnda- As constructive thinkers this
type has been discredited in Russia
and in other countries. Some OF them
have been German agents, the rest
merely fanatics.
when we read the Czecho-Slovak
control Siberia and the Volga dis
tricts, we must understand they have
the support OF their local population,
for their army of 10000 poorly
equipped men could not control those
vast districts without popular sup
port.
The removals of Won Eichhorn
and Won Mirbach were not assassina-
tons, but acts OF war. Those who
forget what Russia contributed to the
common cause during the first years
OF the war and speak of Russia's de
sertion' might do we'll to count these
two removals and the many others
and weigh them to Russia's credit
Here were very useful acts OF war.
II would be rather interesting IL it
was a Russian who finally got the

AMBASSADOR PAGE
RESIGNS HIS POST

President Wilson has accepted the
resignation OF Walter Hines Page,
ambassador. to England, the accept
ance being made with reluctance, and
only after it was found that con-
tinued service was greatly impairing
the health of the representative to
the Court of St. James.
Mr.. Page was appointed to the dip
lomatic post at London in April, 1913.
He assumed the office without any
previous training, his career preced-
ing that date having been in the line
OF literary endeavor with a practical
experience as publisher before that
time The State Department soon
realized that the diplomatic business
of the Government could safely be in
trusted to him.
Outbreak of the war in the year
following his assuming office called
upon him for the display Of talents of
constructive statesmanship OF inter
national scope. He made good, ac-
cording to the State Department, in
all the new issues OF the gravest i'm
portance-
Following the entry of America into
the war there has been some abate-
ment of the activity of the London
embassy in the field of pure di-
plomacy, but perhaps this has been
more than compensated for by the
increase OF business imposed by the
arrangements for the full co-opera-
tion of America with the entente
allies in supplying the vast stores Of
war material and foodstuffs.
1t was under the stress OF sucn
tasks that his health continued to
break, and his physical impairment
was marked. The State Department
had hoped to Tighten his work, but
the increased duties could not be dis
pensed with on account OF the po-
sition of the nation to the world.
