Delegates Go Home En-
Unused at Results Attain
in Friday Meet Here

Red Cross work in North Dakota,
and particularly in the southeastern
district. win go on with renewed
impetus as result OF the meeting
and conferences OF district workers

Minneapolis in Fargo Friday.
More than goo chapter and branch
officials including many from points
outside of the district, attended the
big meeting IN the Fargo auditorium
In the morning, and stayed for the
several department conferences in
the afternoon. All attended the clean

emphasized today by Harry Curran

around enough to take note of In
valuable information that was dis

SECOND DRAFT Is
NOW EXPECTED IN
MON Il OF APRIL
OR EARLY IN May
Estimate Is Based On Prep
aratiOns Being Made
for Equipping Men
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, Feb. 22.-While war
department officials reiterate that no
date has definitely been fixed for
the calling of the second draft for
the national army. all available out-
ward indications would seem to point
to some time during the month OF
April or at the latest early in May.
Such an estimate is based on the
known preparations for equipping
and housing the men. 1t is no mill
tary secret that equipment and sup
plies for men of the second draft will
become available soon after April
and careful observers look for the
first increments to be called soon
afterward.
The number or men to be called
in the first increment has not yet
been determined because the problem
of housing them has not been dis
posed Of There will be room for
some OF them in camps and canton
ments now occupied by troops, and
it is possible that additional canton
ments may have to be provided. II
Is also possible that some of the ma
tional guard camps may be used
during the period.
This phase of the subject is being
given careful study, but nothing has
been decided.

New Bill Confers Power on
President to Enforce
Regulations
GOOD RESPONSE
TO THE APPEALS
But Those Who Ignore Pa
triotic Duty Will Be
Brought to Time
(By Associated Press. }

Washington, Feb. 23-CompuIsory
food conservation is necessary in the
opinion of members Of the house
agricultural committee, which today
submitted is report on the bill Civ
ing the ident power to regulate
public es houses and the distribu-
ton and , Rtnufacture Of foodstuffs.
The bill does not directly affect
househoIders.
The report recalls that the Presi-
dent has no power to enforce
economy in consumption under the
existing food law and that the sue
cess Of conservation plans depends
entirely upon the voluntary CO.
operation Of the people. The appeals
to save food have met with gratify-
ing results, the reports says, and
ADDS but there Is q small per cent
of people who either WilfulIy or for
lack Of understanding fail to re-
spOnd to the call made for patriotic
duty"
THE food situation as IL affects us
and our allies" the report continues,
is becoming so critically serious as
70 warrant the committee In the be-
lief that the necessity ID upon us or

directions. 1t would be foolish for US
10 shut our eyes to the facts. It
would be cowardIy in us to fail TO
attack the problem OF waste in food
stuffs in the most vigorous man
ner.
The bill is designed to meet a
situation which is closely allied to
conservation. If We ship to Europe
all of our exportable surplus Of GER
tain foods, there is never going to
be more than just enough OF such
foods available for consumption in
the United States. In order to pre-
vent local shortages, it is neces-
sary that this normal supply be dis
tributed with absolute equality
throughout the country and such
distribution is further essential in
order to enable the best possible of
our surplus products. From time to
time there may be temporary short
ages in certain foods. In such a case
the President should have power to
control the distribution in such a
way that the shortage 10 spread out
as evenly as possible"

FUEL ORDER DOES.
NOT COVER COAL.
USED BY FARMERS.
FOR TRACTORS.
Baker, in Statement Issued
Today, Explains Opera
ton of Order

Bismarck. N. D., Feb. 23.-There
seems to be some misapprehension
on the part of farmers in North Da-
kota concerning the regulation Of the
fuel administration restricting &C
cumulations of anthracite and BIZ
luminous coal.
1t is explained by the federal fuel
administrator for North Dakota,
Captain /. p. Baker of Bismarck, that
under the existing regulation anth-
racite may not be purchased in
greater quantity than 1000 pounds
and no person is permitted to ac-
cumulate more than four months
supply Of bituminous coal for q par
ticular purpose. This regulation does
not prohibit q farmer from accum-
ulating four months supply OF
luminous coal for household pur-
,oses and an additional quantity
suf11cient for use in steam Sractors
or other similar uses. If farmer
requires one ton of bituminous coal
for household purposes for one
month and fifteen tons or bitumlnous
coal for use in his tractor for one
month, he may accumulate and have
on hand at any one time sixty four
tons of bituminous coal, provided
the monthly requirements are the
same in each OF the four months OF
the period. If one ton of bituminous
coal is required for household pur-
poses and fifteen tons for tractor use,
during March, similar quantities
during April, one-half ton for house
hold purposes and fifteen tons for
tractor purposes during May, one
half ton for household purposes and
ten tons for tractor purposes, during
June, a farmer may accumulate and
have on hand on the first Of March
three tons Of bituminous coel for
household purposes and fifty-fiveI
tons for tractor use. The intentionI

Another Spanish
Ship Is Sunk By.
German U-BOdtS
CBy Associated Press.)

Madrid, Friday, Feb. 22.-The
Spanish steamer Maria Caspio has
been sunk by a submarine on her
way to New York with a cargo Of
cork. The crew was picked up by the
Spanish steamer Claudio Lopez,
which also was stopped by the sub
marine but later was allowed to pro-
ceed. The captain Of the Claudio
Lopez had the greatest difficulty in
inducing the commander Of the sub
marine to allow him to continue the
voyage. The submarine commander
wanted to sink the liner because she
was carrying a number of cars con-
signed to the Spanish Northern rail-
road, which is partly French owned
The sinking Of the Spanish steam
er Maria Caspio makes the third
such occurrence IN less than four
weeks.
Madrid advices Thursday reported
thatt the Spanish government would
publish the text Of three notes sent
to the German government concern
ing the sinking Of the first three.

Leon Trotzky, the BolsheVik foreign
minister, is reported to have left
Petrograd for Dvinsk to seek an
early conference with the Germans.
bolshevik resistance seemingly de-
pends on whether the Germans will
accept readily the capituIation of the
government. Il is apparent, however,
that the Germans with the Rumanian
negotiations as an excuse, are uoina
to push their campaign in the Baltic
provinces before answering the Rus
SLAMS. In the region east and north
OF DVinsk and along the Gulf Of Fin
land, the Germans have advanced
farther than in the south, where east
