VICTORY BREAD
MUST BE USED


DO you bake straight wheat bread
in your home or do you bake Vic
tory bread, consisting of four pounds
Of wheat flour and one pound of sub
stitutes2
If the straight wheat bread is
served in your home you are yio-
lating solemn pledge made by the
q. S. Food Administrator Hoover to
the food controllers of Italy, FF+4pce
and England that we would eat the
same kind of bread that they would
agree to eat. At least that is the
stand taken by Federal Food Admin
istrator Ames in a letter sent today
to all county food administrators ex-
planning the S0-2O rule,
The Allies enforce the 1920 rule
by law. In America bakers are re-
quired to live up to the regula-
tions, but the householder is put
on honor. Mr.. Hoover has such faith
in the Aemrican housewife he pro
missed the Allies she would bake Vic
tory bread without being forced to
do it,
That means that when the house
wife buys a 24-pound sack Of flour
and six pounds of substitutes, that
all the substitute should be mixed
with the bread The housewife who
bakes her own bread and fails to
bake what the Allies are using is by
that act failing to eat the Same
bread as the guests at our table.

Britain Planning TradeWar
Overseas Trade Department
Organized to Foster
Couopoorco
Commerce

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
LONDON, March 1O.-The British
Empires plans for the trade war that
most people believe will follow the
present war are gradually taking def
mite form. A feature of it's prepara-
tions is the creation of the Overseas
Trade department. under which sixteen
trade commissioners will operate in the
various countries Of the empire and a
number Of commercial attaches will
work in foreign countries. The House
of Commons has just made an appro-
priation of $4,000 for preliminary cx-
penscs Of the department.
This department, which has been
quietly reconstructing the whole gov
crnment commercial business through
out the world, is in charge Of Sir A. d.
Steel Maitland, q social and consttu-
tionai reform advocate Of Birmingham.
The new organization is controlled by
g. joint committee of the Foreign Office,
which corresponds to the American
State Department, and the Board of
Trade, which has much the same func-
tiong as the American Department of
Commerce. The reasons for joint con-
troll by these particular departments is
that in foreign countries trade qucs-
tions and political issues arc often in
tcrwoven.
The commercial attaches will super
wise and link up the work Of cformed
consular service and supply important
reports cmbodying trade and financial
surveys Of the countries in which they
arc situated.

Staggering War Debt
Predicts Nation Liabilities Will
Increase. Thirty Times Be-
fore Peace
AMSTERDAM. March 23-(Rv

AMSTERDAM. March 23.-(By maiD
-Germany's debt after the war will be
thirty times what it was at the be-
ginning, George Bernhard, editor of
the "Vossische Zeitung," declared in a
lecture recently in Berlin. He spoke
in connection with the campaign for
the eighth German war loan.
The editors speech scarcely was
calculated to afford his hearers much
cause for rejoicing He said that at
the end of the war Germany probably
will be faced with debt of 150.o0o.-
100000 marks, as against 100000, 900
before the war.
Editor Bernhard said that 14,00O,-
100000 marks would have to be pro-
vided annually after the war through
taxation. He estimated the empires
national wealth at 100000 900
marks, large part Of which is state
and communal property. He did not
favortsa single levy on capital and said
small capitalists should not be taxed
too hard. This, he declared, would
mean that the larger fortunes would
have to pay as high as SO per cent,
which he thought was not safe tax
from an economic viewpoint.
The latest inducement to subscribe
to the war loan is device by which
man may mortgage his prospective saw
ings for the next ten years by means
OF a special insurance policy.

boat was useful pretext for America
TO enter the war and we supplied it,
1t enabled President Wilson ctfectually
TO conceal his true war motives. We
thoroughly misread American senti-
ment."
The "Berliner Tageblatt" refuses to
believe American help can bring victory
to the Entente. Continuing, it says !:
Americas economic assistance has
now passed its zenith. The seizure of
German Austro-H Hungarian, Eutch and
$" "edish shipping, aggregating 2,OOO,0
tons. constitutes the Entente's last re-
serves, which IN three months probably
will be disposed CT by our U-boats.
Then the Entente will be faced with the
final question whether new construction
car keep pace with the losses by
U-boats."
The "Weser Zeitung" says America
has fallen short of the Entcnte's ex-
pectations and cannot fulfil them.

Masses in Austria GroU
More Insisfent in Their
Demand for Peace Now
[Staf CorrespWadence]
Tribune Cable Seryice)

COPENHAGEN, April 6.-The masses
in Austria are showing signs that they
consider that their war aims have been
attained through the signing of peace
With Ukraine and with Rumanla. Not
only the labor element, but also the
hourgeoise have expressed their desire
fcr immediate peace.
Emperor Charles has emphasized
twice his desire for peace during the
reception of the delegations from
Bohemia, and he was forced, in order
II calm public opinion, to show his de-
sire for peace in his message to the
haiser Of congratulations on the re-
suit OF the Western offensive.
Czernin's recent speech provoked a
tremendous amount of criticism all
over Germany, practically every part
o. the country attacking him. Czernin's
allusion to peace pourparlers had two
objects: First, to show the absence Of
peace inclination in France; and, Sec
end, to try to provoke Cabinet crisis
IN France and bring about the forma-
ton Of Socialist government.
The morale Of Austria is not favor
able to an offensive, and Czernin, who
is clever politician, is trying to avoid
an attack on Italy, with it's attendant
heavy cost.
Should Czernin fail, it is believed
mat Count Mensdorf would be his sue
eessor. Although the Austrian leaders
pledge the 1Gal Monarchy to stand by
germany to the end, the masses are
growing more and more insistent for
an immediate peace.
