Presidents s Proclamation
 On Food Conservation

Washington, January 26.-Presi- dent Wilson has issued the follow ing proclamation, asking the people to make further saving in food in orr der that the allies may be fed:
 "A PROCLAMATION.
 Many causes have contributed to create the necessity for a more in- tensive effort on the part of our peo- pie to save food in order that we may supply our associates in the war with the sustenance vitally necessary to them in these days of privation and stress. The reduced productivity of Europe because of the large diversion of man power to the war, the par tiai failure of harvests, and the elim- ination of the more distant markets for foodstuffs through the destruction of shipping, places the burden of their sustenance very largely on our shoulders.
 .The food administration has formulated suggestions which. if fol- lowed, will enable us to meet this re- sponsibility. without any real incon- venience on our part.
 Tn order that we may reduce our consumption of wheat and wheat products by 30 per cent-a reduction imperatively necessary to provide the supply for overseas-wholesalers job bers and retailers should purchase and resell to their customers only 70 per cent of the amounts used In 1si7.- All manufacturers of alimentary pastes. biscuits, crackers, pastry and breakfast cereals should reduce thelr purchases and consumption of wheat and wheat flour to 70 per cent of their 1917 requirements and all bakers of bread and rolls to 80 per cent of their current requirements. Consumers should reduce their purchases of wheat products for home preparation to at most 70 per cent of those of last year. or. when buying bread. should purchase mixed cereal breads from the bakers.
 ITO provide sufficient cereal food, homes, public eating places. dealers and manufacturers should substitute Apotatoes. vegetables. corn. barley, oats and rice products. and the mixed cereal bread and other products of

Scheidemann, in Reichstag Speech, Demands Peace Before More Blood
 shed in Spring
BELGIUM MUST BE RESTORED IF GERMAN HONOR IS TO REMAIN
Clear Statement on This One Point, He Holds, Will Bring About Nego-
 tiatiOns
By the Associated Press

The voices of peace advo- cates have again been raised insistently in the central em- pires, following quickly upon what is largely regarded as a new declaration of Ger many's warlike purposes III her chancellor's speech. Slmul- taneously report IS current that the bolsheviS government in Russia has decided to con tinue the Brest- -Litovsk peace negotiations and another, quite |unverified, that Austria is pre- pared to make a peace with Russia i'-lependently from Germany.
 The peace note in Germany was sounded by Phillip Scheidemann, the socialist leader, who, in his remarks following Chancellor Won Hertling's speech, pleaded for peace before spring came with it's renewed: blood shed. Regarding Russia, however, Scheidemann's speech was more than a plea, it was warning that the mili- tary leaders of the imperial govern ment would be hurled from power if they did not bring about peace with honor.
 Schicdcmnnn insisted that there
 was ground for n general peace on
 the basis of the programme laid
 down by President Wilson. on II
 points of which an agreement was
 easily possible. He was uncom-
 promising as Chancellor yon Hert- ling, however. as regards Alsace- Lorraine, declaring this territory
 must remain German.
 Schiedemann's words comprise, perhaps, the most radical utter ance that has yet come from his wing of the party in the Reich stag, the majority of moderate so- cialists. In the foreign press conn ment on the speech OI SnducciiOT Van Hertling, however, 1t has been pointed out that there Is yet no sign of acknowledgment on the part of the German government
 of any responsibility to Parliament and that to all appearances the military party Is still in full com trol and determined to maintain its grip upon the situation The bolsheviki are taking even more energetic action against General Kaladines and now report m organization of Cossacks from the front into n congress which | has declared war on the Cossack l chieftain, driven him and his staff | from their headquarters and an- | nounces it's purpose of hunting him down. In the military situation there have been no developments Of note. Artillery duels nt isolated | points. occasional raids and pIentf- full airplnne reconnoitering are re- l ported. The French aerial activity | has been somewhat marked, the official statement mentioning ex- | tremeIy successful photOEraphical I work carried out to distance of nearly 70 miles behind the Gcr- man lines.

duetion in consumption, makes a re- newed appeal to the housewife to stop the waste of food. It asks a general observance of the food administration s regulation and calls on the people in of sugar.
 There is no forcible limitation of pur- chases by householders, and in this connection the food administration says:
 "The effectiveness of these rules is de. pendent solely upon the good will and the willingness of the American people to sacrifice. In the last analysis the suc- lined rests with the people. We have but one police force-the American wom- an-and we depend upon her to see that these rules are obeyed by the small minority who may fail"
 MANY PLEDGE-SIGNERS
 Of the nearly 100000 householders in the United States about 100000 have signed the food administrations pledge to fellow it's conservation directions and officials believe the regulations will be generally observed.
 Mir. Hoover estimates that observance of the regulations will save about 15.- 0o0,o00 bushels of wheat month fol shipment abroad. This will enable the allies to subsist, although their ration will be short. All of the allies. and the central powers as we'll, are on war bread diet now. Most of the allies are mixing about 70 per cent of corn meal and other substitutes with wheat flour in all bread baked and all of Europe is milling a large amount of the whole wheat grain.
 Both France and England have recently cut down the bread ration by almost oHe-half.
 If the voluntary rationing system fails in this country, it then, Mir. Hoover said today. lis up to Congress We have no powers under the law to compel people to eat less"
