REGAIN HOUSE CONTROL
Democrats Elect -Four Candi-
dates in Greater New York.
Win Easily at Election at Which
Women Cast Vote for the
First Time.

New York, March by the re.
election of their candidates from four
districts in Greater New York, at
special elections to choose success
ors to four members of that party who
had resigned their seats in congress,
control of the house of representa-
tives is regained by the democrats.
New York woman mad their first
chance to vote since they won the
right at the polls last November. 1t
was significant that they cast 31,S5S
votes out of a total of 1882 in the
four districts. They, voted early,
seemed to have made up their minds
what they were going to do before
they received their ballots and they
asked few foolish questions"
Win BY Good Margins.
In all the districts the Democratic
nominees were elected over their Re.
publican opponents by comfortable
margins. The most surprising feature
was the fact that in the Twenty-sec-
ond district, which includes part of the
borough of the Bronx, the vote cast
for the Socialist candidate exceeded
by approximately 700 that given the
Republican nominee. The Socialist
vote in the other districts was negli.
gible. The only district which has a
woman candidate was the Twenty.
first, where Mrs. Mamie Colvin ran
on the Prohibition ticket. Her vote
was 1872 out of total of 23,928.

TUESDAYS ONLY
|. MEATLESS DAYS
Ban on Beef and Pork Is Raised,
Except One Day Each Week,
To Save On Wheat.
NEED MORE OF LATTER
Allies Make Increased Demand for
Foodstuffs and Change is Ex-
pected to Curtail Consump-
ton of Cereal.

Washington, March 5.-The food
administration announces a temper
airy suspension of the meatless meal
and of the special restrictions against
the use of pork on Saturdays, as a
readiustment of its food conserva-
ton program. Increased meat pro-
duction and the necessity for still
greater saving in wheat, it is de-
clared, make the change advisable.
Since all restrictions on consump-
ton of mutton and lamb had been
lifted previously the administration
now asks the public for the time be-
ing to deny itself only beef and pork
ON one day week-Tuesday.
Increased meat consumption, Off
Gals believe will itself curtail the
use of wheat and for the present
there is no intention to add to the
restrictions already in force against
the use of flour.
More Wheat Needed.
In a statement Food Administra-
ior Hoover said:
"The Allies have made further and
increased demands for foodstuffs,
these enlarged demands being caused
t0 some degree by shortage in ar
rivals from the Argentine. It is,
therefore, necessary to urge still
further reduction in the consumption
of bread and breadstuffs generally, If
We are to meet our export necessi-
ties.
Experience shows that the con.
sumption of breadstuffs is intimate.
ly associated with the consumption
of meat. For various reasons our
supplies of meat for the next two or
three months are considerably en-
larged and we can supply the Allies
with all of the meat products which
transportation facilities render pos
sible and at the same time somewhat
increase our own consumption. In
these circumstances, the administra
ton considers it wise to relax the
voluntary restrictions on meat con
sumption to some extent with view
to further decreasing bread con
sumption.
Tuesday Still MeatIess.

continue the only special restrictions
we ask are the beefless and porkless

.SAYSU-BOATS ARE HELD
Menace Not Yet Mastered Ged-
deS Tells Commons.
Declares Germany Is Greatly Exag
gerating Her Submarine
Successes.

London, March 6-Sir Eric Geddes,
first lord of the admiralty, in address
ing the house of commons, declared
that Great Britain and America are
sinking enemy submarines as fast as
they are built"
NAVAL warfare is increasingly in
our favor Geddes said.
I'VE have placed trans-channel
surface barrage to Obstruct submar-
ines. More than 100 patrol boats are
employed in this.
Foe Exaggerates Successes.
'In the Mediterranean conditions
are more difficult and the anti-sub-
marine campaign is correspondingly
less satisfactory.
Despite glowing newspaper accounts
from America, it will be considerable
time before the necessary output OF
tonnage is secured.
Germany is greatly exaggerating
ner successes-in one month as much
as 70 per cent.
There is no reason to alter my
opinion that the menace is held but
not mastered.
1.-THE chances of a submarine re-
turning from the North Atlantic, the
channel of the North sea, are one in
four or five.
U. S. Navy Praised.
Cooperation between the American
and British navies is as near perfect
as possible" he said American Of
ficers are working in every section
of the admiralty personnel. All
ranks have earned the gratitude and
respect of ALL"

more POWER TO
new WAR BOARD
Baruch Named BY President as
Head of Reorganized Body
to Control War Industry.
FUNCTIONS OUTLINED
Authority of New Body Is Vastly In
creased, According to Wilson's
Announcement Given Out
With Appointment.

Washington, March president
Wilson announces reorganization of
the war Industries board, with Ber-
marc NJ Baruch of New York as
chairman, and with vastly increased
powers to control the output of Ameri-
can industry during the war.
Final determination of all questions
of priority in deliveries to any de-
partment of the United States gov
eminent and to the Allies is vested
in the board, and it is charged with
coordinating and anticipating the
needs of any of these, creating or i'm
proving facilities for production and
advising as to prices.
Much of the power is given to the
chairman, with the board acting in
an advisory capacity, and he, the
President says, should "act as the
general eye of all supply departments
in the field of industry
To Eliminate Competition.
Through the board it is proposed II
eliminate all competition for supplies
between the various departments and
the Allies, thus meeting in a measure
at least, the demand in Congress for
Capitalization of power. There were
suggestions that the action was one
of the steps contemplated by the
President when he sent to the Senate
the bill pending to enlarge his powers
for reorganizing and co-ordinating
government agencies and that the de-
lay in bringing the measure to vote
caused him to proceed without wait
ing for legislation. If the bill is
passed it will be possible to make
more specific some of the authority
now given the industries board.
The President presented the new
duties of the board in a letter to Mr..
Baruch, requesting him to accept the
Craftsmanship as successor to Daniel
Willard, who recently resigned to de-
vote his entire attention to his du-
ties as president of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad and as chairman of the
advisory commissions of the Council
of National Defense.
President Outlines Functions.
dent says:
Il am writing to ask if you will
not accept appointment as chairman
of the War Industries board and
am going to take the liberty at the
same time of outlining the functions,
the constitution and action of the
board as 1 think they should now be
established
THE functions of the board should
be:
81. The creation of new facilities
and the disclosing, if necessary, the
opening up, of new or additional re-
sources of supply.
''2. The conversion of existing IA
cilities where necessary to new uses.
SO. The studious conservation of
resources and facilities by scientific,
commercial and industrial economies
a. Advice to the several purchas-
ing agencies of the government with
regard to the prices to be paid.
To Determine Priorities.
"5. The determination wherever
necessary of priorities of production
and of delivery and of the proportions
of any given article to be. made inn
mediately accessible to the several
purchasing agencies when the supply
of that article is insufficient, either
temporary or permanently.
sc. The making of purchases for

UItimatum Given to Roumania BY the

Washington, March Count Czern.
IN, the Austrian premier, the State
department has been advised, told the
Roumanian premier in the peace ne
gotiations now in progress that I'M
less Roumania yielded she was to be
crushed but that if she ceded Dobrud-

daries she might preserve her integ-

The Roumanians Of Pennsylvania
have protested against what they call
their abandonment by the Roumanian
government, according to an official
dispatch from France. A telegram
to King Ferdinand from the delega-
ton in Paris says that the Transly-
vanians hailed Roumania as their lib
orator upon her advent into the war,
and begged the king not to abandon
100000 Translyvanian Roumanians
to the fury of ustria-Hungary.
