Further Restriction of Consumption

ments Abroad.

Washington, March 21-The first
of a series of steps planned to stretch
-four supplies sufficiently to feed the
country and maintain shipments to
the Allies until the next harvest, is
announced by the Food Administra-
tion.
Beginning with the baking trade
which uses 40 per cent of the wheat
flour consumed in this country, the
administration has approved plans for
a division of flour supplies between
shops, sharing of wheat substitutes
and for a nationwide educational
campaign to eliminate wastes, which
will be worked out at meeting at
Chicago in few days.
Further restriction of the consump-
ton of wheat, which .was announced
last week as under consideration, will
be put into effect next.
Behind in Shipment Program.
Aside from the shortage of wheat
in the United States, another serious
problem is confronted by the Food adj
ministration in making good promises
to the Allies. Not single weeks
shipment of grain and cereals abroad
has equalled the announced program
since Jan /, so that there remains
a deficit of $4,000 tons to make up
in addition to the regular supplies.
No CurtaiImen Expected.
Inasmuch as the Allied peoples
abroad are being rationed strictly, Of
ficials here do not contemplate any
curtailment of exports nor do they adj
nit of possibility of failure in sup
plying the food necessary to carry on
the war. From the response received
in. the past, they believe the American
public will give cheerfully whatever is
required to achieve victory with food
and those who attempt to obstruct by
boarding or selfish buying beyond
their needs will be held up to the
public gaze for discipline.
Plans of the bakers for economy IN
their business were outlined to state
food administrators here by Henry
Association of Master Bakers and w.
NJ. Campbell, chairman of the asso-
cations national technical service
committee. With the approval of the
administrators a national technical
service committee will be appointed
in each state, which in turn will ap.
point district captains and county
leaders, all of them expert bakers
who have learned to use wheat flour
substitutes in baking Victory bread
Meetings and demonstrations will be
held in every town and village.
No Excuse For Bakers.
No baker will have an excuse for
failure to produce Victory bread OF
the most palatable character after the
trade secrets of the leading members
of the business have been impaired to
him, in the opinion of the Food admin
istration Those who cooperate in
the program will find their colleagues
ready to tide them over the emergency
by sharing supplies of which they
have a surplus and by exchanging
products for others more needed.

HEROFFERS RUMORED
Serbia and France Reported to Have
Made Realistically May Be
Main Area of War For
This Year.

Washington, March PA new ana
tempting peace offer from Austria and
Germany is spurned by Italy This
fact has been officially confirmed in
diplomatic information reaching
Washington. 1t formed one of the
principle bases of the success of the
just concluded meeting of the Inter-
Allied War Council in London. The
peace offer to Italy is understood to
have been of the most generous ma
ture and to have come from a direct
official source 1t was promptly re-
jected by Italy, however Similar
tenders of peace, accompanied by
threats of drive, were reported to
have been made to Serbia and even
to France. All were rejected.
Supreme Council to Decide.
Washington, March 20.-The key to
the 1918 riddle to the Western battle
front is in the hands of the Supreme
War Council at Versailles.
Decision as to the time and place Of
major offensives by the Allies rests
with that body. 1t directly controls
also, officials here believe, a new
weapon forged during the winter with
which to make effective its plans Of
grand strategy. That weapon is be-
lieved to lie in pooling of the army
reserves of all the Allied armies, put
ting overwhelming concentrations at
selected points of attack.
American observers now are con-
WINGED that the German high COM
mand plans defensive campaign
and that the long-talked Of drive on
Paris or the Channel ports has been
abandoned. The initiative, according
| to this view, rests with the Allied
| and American forces. Communicates
are being closely scanned for the
| first indication of any offensive op-
erations mapped out at Versailles.
Italy May Be Chief Arena.
Opinions as to the sectors offering
the best opportunity for Allied as
saults varies widely here. There is
substantial agreement, however, that
the Italian front may in fact become
| the main theater of the war this year.
| Austro-German concentrations and
possible offensive on that front, also
noted by the weekly war summary,
may represent the recognition of this
view by the German high command

BY utilizing every squnre foot OF

storage facilities in most homes, 1t be-
ing only necessary to make use of the
cellar, the attic. n large closet. or 9TH
er pnrts of the dwelling, depending up
on the character of the product to be

Beans. including the Limas, may be

them to as great an extent as possible

beans may be planted around the fence.
