FURTHER REDUCTION IN CONSUME IF
 WHEAT |S REQUIRED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Further reduction in the consumption of wheat was asked of the public tonight by the food administration, that the scant supplies available before the next har- vest may be stretched to meet the needs of the army, domestic consumers and the allies.
 Every American is requested to cut his average ration of wheat by 50 per cent which would reduce the total monthly consumption to 21,000, 900 bushels. That gives a ration of not more than 11s pounds of wheat pro- duct weekly for each person. Flour sales will be cut to one eight of barrel for a town customer and to one quar- ter of a barrel for any country cus- toner, that retailers stocks may be distributed to as great a number as possible.
 The wheat contents of bakers bread will be reduced to seventy five per cent on April 14, which increases by five per cent the amount of substitutes that must be used.
 Sacrifice in the wheat ration will en- tail no hardship in the opinion of food administration officials, because the supply of potatoes, corn, oats and milk is ample to maintain health.
 The full seriousness of the wheat situation, and some of the difficulties with which the food administration has had to contend in Warding off famine from the allies became known with the announcement of the new plans.
 With food rations in France and England cut to the utmost there has been constant danger that the United States could not meet even minimum demands because of transportation handicaps. The breakdown in the rail- roads upset the corn exportation sched- - ule. On March 1 there had been sent abroad only 14,000,000 bushels, against the 64,000000 bushels of last year and the 100,000,000 bushels which it was hoped to sShd. Accordingly the for eign populations have been dependent on wheat. Their need of wheat is growing for after April the shipment of corn is attended with great risk of | loss, owing to the possibility of germ l ination. More than 10,000000 bushels of contract corn has been gathered for shipment abroad in the last few days through the cooperation of grain eX- changes with the food administration. As the demand for wheat has grown the supplies in elevators have dwin- dled. The usual flow of grain to mar ket has decreased in the last month from 5000 900 bushels weekly to 3,O00,- 900, due, it is declared, to the desire of | farmers to hold out their grain for the higher prices proposed

FAMOUS RUINS GIVE UP MANY SPECIMENS
 OF GREAT INTEREST
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, March 23-Announce- ment of the recovery of 10000 speci- mems of e-historic Aztec civilization from the famous Aztec ruins in the Animas valley in northwestern New Mexico, was made tonight by the American Museum of Natural History. The work of excavation has been Tn progress since the summer of 1916, funds for which have been provided by Archer NJ. Huntington and J. P. Morgan.
 once a typical pueblo, or great fortified house and village, and although the work of unearthing the hidden treas ures is only partly completed, what has thus far been found within the crumb ling walls so long hidden from human view has exceeded, it is said, the most sangiinary hopes of the investigators.
 Necklaces of shell and tortoise, agate knives, pottery vessels of various forms and ornamentation, cotton cloth and woven sandals are among the finds reported by N. c. Olsen. assistant curator of the museum and Earl Il. Morris, in charge of the exploring party. Enough masonry in the ruin was uncovered to have built a wall half way from New York to Philadelphia. Mr. Morris, in describing the find said:
 Centuries before the landing of Co., lumbus, the ancestors of the present Pueblo Indians reached the highest de- gree of civilization attained by any aborigines in the United States. One of the richest centers of this civiliza- ton was in the valley of the Animas river. The ruin, which represents nearly 100 community dwellings, the 1 home of thousands of peaceful Indian farmers, is marked by vast mounds of earth and fallen stone within a radius of single mile. In its original con- dition it was a stately sandstone struc- ture 359 by 2S0 feet, built around a rectangular court. Its sheer outer walls, 35 to 40 feet high of three stor- ies, enclosed many rooms, there being more than 200 of these on the ground floor.

other occupied cities report Germans communicating and shipping out food supplies
 Leon Trotzky delivered an address before the Moscow soviet tonight and declared unequivocally for new army of 300,00O to 750,000 commanded by trained officers and strictly disciplined. He said it is foolish to suppose that of ficers can be impoverished, and de- nounced guerilla warfare as usleess and undisciplined. He said the Bol- shevik army is helples against skilled troops.
 Pleads For Strong Army
 ''We need a strong army to defend ourselves in this critical world posi- tion," he said. From east and west, enemies are upon us. According to news reports Germany has proposed peace without annexations or contribu- tion to the western powers with Alsace to be returned to France and Belgium to be restored. This is unconfirmed but probable. It means peace at Russia s expense.
 There is a struggle between two cur rents in England. One favors a com- promise at Russia's expense and the other reckons with a powerful develop ment of the laboring masses, which warn against an alliance with Ger on all sides. If it were proposed to France to return Alsace. the French bourse would sell Russia tomorrow"

 unfinished. Then would come opportun- ities for counter blows on a major scale.
 In seeking the strategic purpose of the German drive, officials here noted that the British press had already sug- gested a possible solution. A rupture of the British lines in the vicinity of St. Quentin, it has been said, might leave the French left on the Aisne front unsupported.
 Prisoners All Told. 26,000
 German reports that 25,000 prisoners had been taken were regarded as not at all improbable. The capture of cer- tain points on the first defensive sys- tenn probably was what made the sec- tor of the lines abandoned by 16,O0O men, said by the Germans to have fall- en into their hands yesterday are in cluded in their new figures of 25,O00 prisoners. The first captures undoubt- edly were made when the front lines were preached. The remainder prob ably is composed of rear guard units left in positions to hold for the enemy until the British withdrawal under fire had been accomplished, then to sur render.
 Germans Once Lost 50,000
 The Germans themselves lost 50,000 or more prisoners to the French and British in the withdrawal on the Somme alone, and a great number also were taken in the retirement from the Marne during the first year of the war.
 Officials were hopeful that tomor- rows reports would show clearly the German objective and the steps to off, set it. They are beginning to look for counter blows by the allies on other sectors. Now that the Germans are so deeply involved in their enterprise in the St. Quentin region it is thought they could not spare large reserves to face attack elsewhere without checking their own advance.

rant as it was based upon a showing palpably less than that in the Veeder case," said Judge Landis. The warrant was issued from Judge Landis court before the court of appeals had held the warrant upon which seizure of pa- pers from Henry Veeder, attorney for the packers was based, to have been is- sued upon insufficient evidence.
 If the property now is returned to the thirty or forty custodians who pre- viously held it, they will be in precise ly the same position as beforo~tNe war rant was issued.' the judge continued. Tt is my conviction that it would be an idle thing to return this property It would simply mean that the property soon would be retaken on new search warrants.

PARIS, Thursday, March 21.-The following note has been issued:
 The possibility of an enemy offen- sive has induced the government to lay down in advance stringent rules to which the press must conform during this period, especially at the com mencement.
 First, the only accounts of events which may be published are bulletins issued by general headquarters and ar ticles by correspondents accredited to headquarters which must be revised uy the ministry of war.
 Second, articles commenting on events must be written in such a way they contain nothing in contradiction with official bulletins and that their deductions show no exaggeration and any comments made convey no inform ation to the enemy.
 The publication of any news or ar ticle not authorized will be vigorously punished

LOS ANGELES, March 23.-E. L. Lantron, said to have escaped from the county jail in Phoenix, Arizona, about two weeks ago, while serving a sentence for bootlegging, was ar rested in a downtown rooming house today on a warrant from Phoenix According to the information in the hands of the Los Angeles authorities, Lantron came directly here after escaping from jail. He was followed here by a woman with whom he is said to have been on intimate terms. He is accused of having sold liquor to this woman's husband
 A few days ago the woman, who is said to have been living with LantrOn here, turned against him. She placed herself in communication with the sheriffs office and disclosed the whereabouts of Lantron. The arrest of the alleged fugitive was effected shortly afterwards. Lantron is a native of Mobile, Ala. He is being held pending the arrival of an officer from Phoenix.
 B. L. Lantron was arrested several weeks ago by Constable Roy Morfel on charge of bootlegging. The arrest was effected in the vicinity Oi Eastlake park. Upon conviction ir the superior court, Lantron was sentenced to serve six months in tn, county jail.
 While serving his time, Lantror was made a trusty and given tho | freedom of the court house plaza l One evening, about two weeks ago he failed to report when the houl arrived for the prisoners to be locked in their cells. Since then no worC had been received from or of hin | by the local authorities. When Th' Republican informed deputies at thu sheriff's office last evening tha Lantron had been captured in Lo Angeles, they said it was likely tha an officer would be sent to Los An geles immediately.
