Ex-President Taft
DenOunces Sneakers

Philadelphia. Jan. 12.-After the
war the deluded German people will
look for a scapegoat. That scapegoat
will be the German Kaiser and his
military system.
This statement was made last night
by former President William II. Taft,
who lectured before the Pennsylvania
State Normal School at West Chester.
Mr.. Taft alluded to the individual
of American acknowledgements, who
holds "sneaking sympathies" with
Germanism.
"These persons" said he. ARE dam
gerous persons to have i'm any COM
munity. They may not know, per-
haps, just what constitutes treason
But at the very best their patriotism
is not of the order to inspire us to
the great work of the hour-the win
ming of this wwar.
Suppose" he said, in discussing
Senator LaFollette, that Haiti had
sunk one of our vessels with the loss
of fifty American lives. The Presi-
dent would demand immediate repa-
ration and assurance against the rep
etition of such acts, and Congress, i'm
cluding its pacifist element and pac-
fists generally, including Senator
LaFollette. would heartily applaud
his stand"

WILLPUNISH ALL
WHO HOARD FOOD.
HOOVER WARNS
3O-Day Supply Only Will Be
Permitted in
Homes

Washington, Jan. 12.-Purchase
by housewives and holding by whole
salers, manufacturers and retailers
of more than thirty days supply of
food, will be construed as a viola
tiop of the law and will be followed
by speedy prosecution, the food ad-
nfinistration announced last night
The American Army must be fed;
the American people must be fed.
There need be no fear" says the
food administrator, that our own
supplies will not be protected, and
If, as a result of misapprehension
any one should attempt to purchase
foodstuffs for boarding, it will be
robhing the allies of just that amount
ana is violation of the food law
and will be followed up sharply.
I'VE have ruled that the holding
of more than thirty days supplies
by dealers, manufacturers, whole
salers and retailers constitutes
boarding, and the purchase of more
than usual amounts by consumers
viii likewise be so construed.
Legislation is being considered
by Mr.. Lever and Senator Pomerene
for presentation to Congress of some
further extension of the Presidents
powers to enforce conservation in
manufacturing trades and in public
eating places. Although the major
ity have co-operated willingly and
effectively, there is minority which
patriotic appeals do not seem to
reach. With such regulations, there
VIII be no shortages, and there will
be equal justice to ALL"
The food administration an
nounces also:
1T is true that the allies need
from 75,000,000 to 10000. 900 bush
els more of American wheat. 1t is
true also that we have already eX-
ported the theoretical surplus of last
harvest over our normal consump-
ton. The American people have
saved a considerable amount, esti-
mated from 25,000,000 to $4,000, 900
bushels, during the last five months,
and we are exporting this saving.
I'VE cannot and will not export
more than our savings, for our own
people must also be fed. The allies
have reduced the bread ration to
their people sharply the last few
days, and If this lowered ration is
TO be sustained we must save more
than hitherto.
Every grain of wheat and every
ounce of flour and bread saved now
is exactly the amount supplied to
some man, woman and child among
the allies. We are asking the Amer
lean people TO further reduce their
consumption of wheat products and
use other foodstuffs instead, for the
allies must also have some wheat as
well as ourselves"

GIRL OPERATORS
STEEL PLANT
Men Will No Longer Operate
Telephone Exchanges,
1t Is Announced

When calling the Bethlehem Steel
Company exchange at the local steel
plant in the future you will not hear
the gruff voice of a male operator.
After employing male operators
for several years, officials of the local
plant find it impossible to retain the
men for this kind of work and are
again going back to girl operators.
Announcement that the change
would become effective in the near
future, was made at the local steel
plant office this morning. Oficials
could not say when the new ruling
would become effective, but were of
the opinion that it would be some-
time early next month.
Seven male operators are now en-
ployed at the two exchanges. These
operators work in eight-hour shifts.
Oftcials of the plant said this morn
ing that this number of girl oper-
ators in addition to a girl to act as
chief operator. would be employed.
The hours for working would be SIM
liar to the present schedule, il is un-
derstood.
Several years ago girls had been
employed as operators but were un-
able to handle the work. Male oper-
ators were employed and were able
to do the work up to this time. Con-
ditions brought about by the war
make 1T necessary to again use girl
operators at the exchanges, officials
say. The men will be used on more
important work.
