SCORE
PRICE FIXING OF
FUEL AND FOOD
Meatless Days Caused. by
Brainless Days, Declares
Senator Reed

Washington. D. c.. March g.
Structures on Government price-fix-
ing and the activities of the Food
Administration monopolized yester-
days session of the Senate.
Led by Senator Reed, of Missouri,
Democrat, group Of Senators of
both parties made the attack.
Charges that a general policy of fix
ing prices for farm products not
authorized by the food control law is
being instituted were made by Sem
ators Reed and Borah, who said the
licensing power of the law was being
so used that it's actual result is an
unauthorized price-fiXing program.
In a four-hour speech teeming with
hitter criticism, Senator Reed also de-
nounced the Fuel Administration, as
serting that Administrator Garfield
had not told the truth regarding re-
suits of the coalless days order,
which he described as a lockout" on
Eastern industries.
In the midst of the debate the Sem
ate adopted a resolution by Senator
Salisbury, of Delaware, president
pro tempore, asking the Food eAd-
ministration for it's authority in is
suing an official bulletin requesting
bids at fixed prices on tomatoes for
the Army and Navy.

India Is Menaced by
Direct Rule, Says Berlin

The Hague, March 9.-"We have
acquired o direct free front via Rus
sia 10 Persia and Afghanistan," says
a dispatch from the Wolff Bureau,
the German semiofficial agency, re-
ceived here to-day.
The announcement of the Wolff
Bureau, if true, has an important
bearing on the situation in Western
Asia and, possibly, even in India.
The peace terms forced upon Rus
sia at Brest-Litovsk took away from
Russia districts in the Ciscaucasian
region through which it would be
possible for the Germanic allies to
gain entrance from the Black Sea
or Turkey into Persia. Passage
through Persia probably would meet
with only nominal opposition, while
still further advance into Afghanis-
tan would be possible.
A Peking dispatch, dated February
q, said the governor of the Province
of Sin Kiang had reported that the
Turks and Germans were active
among the Mohammedans there.
Sin Kiang is just to the northeast of
Afghanistan and about the northern
border of India.

Conclusion of Peace
BefWeen Russia and
Rumania Is Announced
Bp Assocfafed Prcss

London, March 9.-Conclusion of
peace between Russia and Rumania
is announced in a Russian wireless
dispatch received here to-day. Ru-
mania promises to evacuate all of
Bessarabia, including Benderi, on
the Dniester river forty miles south
east of Kishinev, within two months.
Russia and Rumania have been
at odds for several months, and a
number of battles have been fought
by the former allies. Rumanian
troops disarmed Russian forces left
in Rumania after the conclusion of
peace with Germany, saying the
Russians were plundering Rumanian
towns. Rumanian troops were sent
into Bessarabia, a Russian province
populated largely by Rumanians,
saying they had been asked by the
Bessara bfan authorities to intervene
and restore order. The Russians
made a number of Intellectual at
tempts to subdue the Rumanians,
and several weeks ago issued an or
der for the arrest of King Ferdinand
of Rumania.

Germans Will Not Hold
Regions Occupied Since
Peace, Says Hoffman

Petrograd, March S.-Replying to
the Russian inquiry as to the rea-
son for continuance of hostilities by
the Germans after the conclusion
of peace, General Hoffman, the
German commander, in a telegram
to Ensign Klrylenko, the Russian
commander, says such military OPP
erations as have taken place since
the armistice was declared have
been due to sporadic movements Of
disorganized Russian attachments.
The general declares all regions oc-
cupied since the conclusion of peace

Germany Protests Because

Br Associnfed Prcss;

The Hague, Friday, March s. = A

official news agency to the recent ar
ticle in the Norddeutsche Allgemeine

Berlin, in which it was Germany con-
sidered as unneutral the arrangement

MANY HAVE OVER
80 DAYS. SUPPLY
OF WHEAT FLOUR
Little Actual Hoarding Dis
covered by Food AID
miniStrator

More than 33,S0O pounds of flour
over the amount allowed by law is
held by less than 5000 Dauphin
county householders, it was an
nounced at the Dauphin County
Food Administration office this
morning. This is only half the num-
Der of householders whose reports
are yet to be tabulated which have
already been sent into the Food Ad-
ministrator. This is less than seven
pounds per family and is not re-
garded as boarding by the admins
traitor.
The excess flour supply is enum-
Grated by the householders on their
flour cards. Owing to the unusually
heavy influx of the cards, it is inn
possible to make an accurate report
of the number of householders who
are stocked with more than a thirty
days wheat flour supply, but the
average is thought to be one house
holder out of every three.
The largest excess supply report
ed to date is 400 pounds, more than
the householder's normal thirty
days supply. The householder
pointed out that it is his usual early
spring supply, as he stocks up every
fall for the entire winter.
Equally Divided
The reports which were tabulated
to-day show that the excess sup
plies held by householders is eqauliY
divided among city and county resi-
dents. 1t has been found, however,
that the excess supplies reported by
the farmers are very much larger
than those reported by city house
holders. This is because farmers are
more likely to lay in their winters
supply, while city householders do
not store flour far ahead of time.
While the flour reports show that
there is a large amount of excess
flour on hand, it is not thought that
boarding in the county is prevalent.
The excess flour supply is divided
among so many householders that it
would be hard to assemble it for the
common good. 1t is hardly likely
that seizure of the flour held in eX-
cess will follow the registration, but
such a course is permissible by the
local administrator, under authority
from the federal administration. The
registration has not shown that any
householders of Dauphin county are
suffering with an actual flour short
age.
The Food Administration requests
householders to seal the envelopes
containing their flour reports and
put a two-cent stamp on them if
if they reside in the city, or three
cents if they live outside the city
limits. The flour reports. it was
pointed out. are classed as first-class
mail because of the writing on them.
Every day the postage due tolls at
the Food Administration offices run
unusually high because Of the num-
Der of householders who place a
noe-cent stamp on the unsealed en-
velopes in which they mail their
flour report. Through an oversight
the Food Administration at first ad-
vised holseholders to mail their re-
ports unsealed, with a one cent
stamp, but the reports were classed
by the mail authorities as first-class
mail.

TARDY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Camp Hill, March 9.-In a month
the number of tardy pupils of. the
local high school has dropped from
siXty-siX to fourteen. This decrease
is largely due to the student gov
ernment committee. A session of the
committee was held last night and
four pupils Of eight tardy during the
week were exempted. Four of the
students who were unable to get eX-
empted suffered a markdown of two
per cent. in the average exempting
them from taking the final examina-
ton. If the students average be-
comes too low he will be compelled
to take the examinations at the end
