and friends. With the many eviden-
ces of neglect on the part of the War
Department officials who were charged
with the duty of protecting the health
and promoting the comfort of the men
who had been called to military SER
vice, it was scarcely to be hoped that
relatives would remain peacefully at
home. The President had defeated
the effort to create Joint bipartisan
Congressional Committee on the Con-
duct Of the War, and, therefore, there
was no agency to take official note of
delinquencies and to insist upon
prompt and scrupulous attention to
the needs Of the men in the camps.
The chosen representatives of the
people were without such committee
as should have been actively engaged
in cutting the bonds of red tape and
awakening the somenolent votaries of
watchless waiting.
That unfortunate condition should
be Immediately changed. Congress
should soon choose the ablest and most
vigorous of its members, in both polit-
ical parties, to cooperate with the ex-
ecutive branch Of the government in
promoting an efficient prosecution of
the war. When that has been done,
Times Two
relatives of soldiers may feel conf
dent that everything possible will be
done promptly to care for those who
have so courageously and with 80
much self-sacrifice abandoned the COM
forts of home for the rigors and hard
ships Of war.
Trying to draw a parallel from the
Civil War times is difficult even for
Democratic editors and cartoonists.
Lincoln was criticised-but Wilson is
not Lincoln. Stanton was criticised
but Baker is not Stanton. Welles
was criticised-butD Daniels is not even
Gideon Welles. Grant and Sherman
were criticised-but no one yet can
say whether Pershing and Sibert and
the others are going to turn out to be
Grants and Shermans or not.

New Food Regulations

"The following is summary of the
rules that have been formulated by the
United States food administration,
with the approval of the President, in
order. to effect the further conserva-.
tion in foodstuffs necessary to support
the Allies and our own forces over the
NEXT four months. Is.These rules are eff
fective from the morning of Monday,
January 2Sth.
"The effectiveness of these rules is
dependent solely upon the good will
of, and the willingness to sacrifice
by the American people. Part of the
rules will be enforced under the Lever
food act; other parts are voluntary,
and will depend for their success upon
public sentiment. Our experience
hitherto has shown a willingness Of
the vast majority of consumers, and a
full cooperation of the trades, to un-
dergo the self-sacrifice necessary to
render such measures effective.
"1-As their part in reducing the
consumption of wheat -four, the con-
sumers Of the country are called upon,
in purchasing such flour, to buy at the
same time an equal weight of the
other cereals (cornmeal, corn starch,
corn flour, hominy, corn grits, barley
flour, rice, rice -four, oatmeal, rolled
oats, buckwheat flour, potato flour,
sweet potato flour, soy bean flour and
feterita fours and meals).
"The housewife may use these pro-
ducts separately in making bread,
cakes and pastry, or mix them as she
thinks best.
Must Purchase Other Cereals
"The retailers are to sell wheat flour
only with an equal weight of these
other cereals.
"2-Consumers will be able to obtain
mixed cereal bread from their bakers,
who will be required under the license
regulations to mix five per cent of
other cereals with their wheat flour,
both in bread and rolls, and will he
required gradually to increase this
substitution until, beginning Febru-
ary "a, minimum of 20 per cent of
such cereals is to be used. The food
administration strongly urges on con-
sumers the buying OF this bread, and
will be known as Victory bread, and
will contain not less than 20 per cents
of cereals other than wheat. Graham
or wholewheat bread will also be given
that name, because, containing as they
do, % per cent more of the wheat
grain than ordinary white bread, they
too will serve the purpose of saving
wheat flour.
Buy Victory Bread
eff you bake bread at home, use
wheat substitutes; if you buy it, buy
only Victory bread.
3-Manufacturers of macaroni, spa
ghetti, noodles, crackers, breakfast
foods, pie, cake and pastry are not to
purchase to exceed 70 per cent of the
wheat flour they used during the cor
responding month of 1917. The man.
ufacturers will be performing at pa
triotic service by using cereals other
than wheat in their productions.
Wholesalers will be. required,
under license regulations, not to buy
more than 10 per cent Of their pur-
chases of flour from millers as based
on their purchases for the correspond
ing months of the preceding year, and
their sales to the retail trade must be
in the proportion of one pound Of

MISUNDERSTANDING Will Appear

Moody o. Eide, member of the
firm of Sinkler & Eide, attorneys at

date for the nomination for States
Attorney Of Ward county on the DEM
ocratic ticket. Mr.. Eide has had the

Bowbells Lad in Battle of Messines.

Bowbells Lad in Battle of Messines.
w. S. Bendixen, whose mother, Mrs.
Ina Bendixen, resides at Bowbells, Wis
tied Minot yesterday. The young
man returned recently from France
where he fought with the Canadian
forces for year, being in the Lewis
machine gun platoon. Mr.. Bendixen
took part in the great battle of Mes
sines last June and saw the blowing
up Of Hill 60. The Germans had min
ed the hill and so had the British. It
was merely a question of which one
could touch off the hundreds Of tons
of dynamite first. The British beat
the Huns to it and after the big hill
had been leveled, not one German
could be found. The force of the ex-
plosion was felt in London by King
George and others, who had been not
flied when it was to take place.
Mr.. Bendixen was wounded in three
places in the Battle of Messines. He
gave the Independent a graphic ac-
count of the battle. The British forces
were to attempt to wrest from the
Germans their first line trench taken
previously. The Canadian machine
gun platoon consisting of a hundred
selected men, together with the ia
nous Black Watch, and other noted
forces, were put into the attack. AS
they advanced toward the trench, a
British barage was played on the
trench held by the Germans, but the
latter had played their barrage on
the British with telling effect. Out of
the 100 Canadians in the platoon,
only two escaped, the captain, who
was wounded, and Mr.. Bendixen. The
latter was struck in the knee, on the
leg and in the back with fragments
Of shell and paralyzed from the waist
down. He managed to drag himself
into a shell hole. Red Cross stretcher
bearers were sent out after him and
others wounded, but the Germans
killed them all. He lay there until
dark when Allied stretcher bearers
rescued him. AS he lay in the shell
hole, he could see the battle raging
about him, and saw three German
waves pass by, to meet death. The
British finally took the trench. Mr..
Bendixen remained in hospital for
