William J. Bryan at Little Rock

Special to The Star
 Little Rock, March A. F William Jennings Bryan is in the city. He visited Camp Pike yesterday and de- livered several addresses in the in- ierest of,the '. MM NJ c. A. work
 Mir. Bryan is no longer a paclllst' He is still an advocate of peace, but not of peace at any price. So far as possible from the nature of the man, he is a militarist. He is not rabid,--he couldn't be that, but ne wants to see the war fought to a successful conclusioR And he knows that the American troops are the boys that can do it.
 MT. Bryan is coming back to Little Rock in April for the State Teach CTS Association, and will deliver one of. the principal addresses. He has not repudiated the Prince of Peace far from it-but he believes that Peace can triumph only after the enemy is thoroughly whipped.
 yice-president T. R. Marshall will also attend the Teachers Associa- tion, and probably Herbert Hoover will come; if he can not, he VIII send one of his personal represent atives.

Occupation by Germans of AIand Islands Creates Tense Situation Ultimate Object Is the
 Invasion of Finland.
London, March 4.-- The Aland islands were occupied at noon Sat urday by the Germans, according to a telegram received here.

Washington, March 4.-Germany's occupation of the Aland islands i. only preliminary to the total occu- patton of Finland. Official dispateh- es to Swedish legation today say Germany has announced to Lhe Stockholm foreign office her inten- ton to occupy Finland and that Sweden has protested.
 Germany advised Sweden, the dis patches say, that it was necessary 10 temporarily occupy Finland to restore order but gave assurance that she had no intention to take permanent possession of the terri tory. Sweden protested also against the Aland islands being placed in the war zone.
 Occupation of the Aland islands, dispatches say, is to make them a base for supplying the German oe= cupation of Finland There are 50C Swedish troops eH the islands for police purposes. Their commander was notified by the German com- mander of his intention and while sa far tllere has been ID clash re- ported, the Swedish troops have not been withdrawn and the feeling is described here as being very tense

ORDER TO SUSPEND MEATLESS MEAL
New Rule Only Asks That Tues. day Re Without Beef or Pork "A Greater Conservation of
 Wheat Is Necessary.

Washington, March {. 4.- Temper ary suspension of the meatless meal and of special restrictions against the use of pork on SaturGay was an nounced by the Food Administra- ton last night as a readjustment of its food conservation program. h. creased meat production and the necessity for still greater saving il wheat, it was declared, make the change advisable.
 The suspension is made effective for an indefinite period, and it probably will last for three months or longer.
 Since all restrictions on consump ton of mutton and lamb had been lifted previously, the Food Admin istration now asks the public for the time being to deny itself in meats only of beef and pork on one day week--Tuesday.
 \ Move To Save Wheat Increased meat consumption Food Administration officials be- Iieye, will of itself curtail the use of wheat, and for the present there IS no intention to add to the re- strictions already in force against I -tilU useuf flour. A's.-ssssaas--~'
 In statement setting forth ths reason for the change in program Food Administrator Hoover said:
 The allies have made further and increased demands for bread stuffs, these enlarged demands be- i ing caused to some degree by short age in arrivals from Argentina. II is, therefore, necessary for the Food Administration to urge a still fur ther reduction in the consumption of bread and breadstuffs generally if we are to meet our export neces- sities.
 Our Meat Supply Is Large
 Experience shows that the con- sumption of breadstuffs is intimate ly associated with the consumption of meat. For various reasons our supplies of meat for the next two or three months are considerably en- larged and we can supply the allies with all of the meat products which transportation facilities render pes sible and at the same time some what increase our own consump- tion.
 So long. as the present condi- tions continue the only special re- strictions we ask are the beefless and porkless Tuesdays Porkless Saturday is no longer asked.
 "Tbe farmers of the United States are responding to the national call to increase hog production.
 sThe administration suggests that in those parts of the country where the old-fashioned home preserva- ton of pork is still the custom, this practice should be extended at the present time, as it will relieve the burden upon transportation to and from the packing houses and is ec0- nomically sound as saving the cost of packing operations and at the same time will provide home SUD- plies of pork to last over the months of deceased supplies"

 Little Rock, March i. . The su- preme court today denied rehear- ing in the Bone Dry case.

A few weeks ago the Arkansas su- preme court ruled that it was not a violation of the so-called Bone Dry" law to bring liquor into the state for personal consumption, and the decision above clinches the mat ter. There is a widespread demand for a special legislative session to stop the leak, and it is not improb- able that one may be called by Gov Brough.
