combination Of some one or more Of
these in the proportion Of one pound
or substitute to each four pounds Of
wheat -four. No dealer may force
any other substitutes in combination
upon the consumer, and these sub
stitutes must conform to the stand
ards fixed by the United States Food
There are some localities where
other substitutes are available and
which retailers may wish to carry i'm
order to meet this situation the fol-
lowing flours may be sold in such
combination in lieu of the above
fours if the consumer so demands,
at the ratio of one pound to each
four pounds of wheat flour; that il,
feterita -four and meals, rice flour,
oat flour, kaffir flour, milo -four,
peanut -four, bean flour, potato -four,
sweet potato flour and buckwheat
-four. Pure rye flour or meal may
be sold as a substitute, but must be
sold in proportion of at least two
pounds of rye with three pounds of

The War Department has cut out a

l2y0O0,0OO men in single day It
has planned to HIT every man in the
country lG to 45 years (bOth in-

registered, on Selective Service Reg

That might well be job for the
whole month of September, but the
War Department says it must be done
in day, and can b..
It cam be done if every man, woman
and child on and before Registration
Day makes 1T "a point tO speed the
work OF registration. It can be made
an easier job IL every one plans for
the day, builds for the day, and does
everything in his power to make the
preparations complete.
OF course, the big undertaking is
tO educate thu men tO register with
out delay In this education the War
Department is counting upon the CO
operation of leading men and women
In every section Of the land
No effort which can teach every man
Of the ages specified to realize that
he must register should be omitted
He must be made to appreciate it as
a patriotic obligation, the neglect or

prison.
This can Do accomplished in a
thousand ways by the men who have
these ways at their frngers' tips.
Merchants, public speakers, instruc-

the great spreaders Of information,
should direct their abilities and
capabilities towards scattering broad

STIRRING APPEAL
TO GERMAN BORN
Otto Kahn Condemns Prussian
System Before Audience in
Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, January IA
Americans of German birth VIII not
permit the blood in their veins ana
the call of race to go beyond the cati
of honor in this war, but viii snow
their allegiance to the United States
and wear as badge of honor the
ahuse and spite of the few i'll this
country who love Germany better than
they love America, Otto H. Kahn, Ne"
York banker. declared in addressing
. mass meeting here last night.
TT is not enough for us Americans
Of German birth to merely 90 our
duty and be loyal to the United States,
said Mr. Kahn. We must speak out
Fair-minded men will understand that
we are not merely blatantiy patriotic
in so speaking, but that We are proud
to let IL be known that the blood Ill
our veins cannot drown the con-
science in our breasts: that the taint
of Germany is not in the blood but IN
the system of rulership.
Laid Conquest Plan Thirty Years.
II was born in Germany. ! served
in the German army. | was clossiS
connected with German business "a
terests until the outbreak of this war.
i know Germany and l know the real
causes of this war. Thirty years ago
almost to the day-tiermany began
laying her plans for world conquest.
The true German saw this war COM
ing and fought against 1t, but there
was no chance against the system.
Germany cannot offer the Russian
mobilization as an excuse. 1t was
provoked by Berlin and was menace
only to Austria.
II know of my personal knowledge
that the stage was set. for it six or
seven years ago. in connection with the
Agadir episode, l know that the Pan
Germans meant to have footing in
South America and. once there. would
have threatened. and had prepared
plans to threaten, this very country of
ours.
Tn 1918 Austria planned to conquer
Serbia, and so informed Italy, then her
ally.
Spirit of Neitzsche in This War.
war was expressed by Neitzsche. a
great German. who wrote years before
the war started, the following:
"tYou shall love peace as means to
prepare for new wars. You say that
. good cause may hallow even war. but
ha1lows every cause
And Vorwaerts, before the war
started, declared: The camarilla of
war lords Is working with absolute, un-
ScrupulouS means 10 carry out their
fearful designs to precipitate world
war"
Not the Old Germany Responsible.
Americans of German blood know
that it was not the old Germany-of
which we are proud-that brought
about war. but the German system
Mr.. Kahn did not arrive until 10
