American Army in France Two or
Three Divisions. Says Newspaper.

London Jan. Recommending upon
the statment made by Secretary of
War Baker before a congressional
committee regarding war preparations.
the semi official Norddeutsche Allge-

The American secretary of war
speaks of an American army in
France There is an American army
in France, but it consists entirely of
woodcutters, railway men and doctors,
except two or three divisions, whose
precious lives are being spared in quiet
places, for behind the front.
Must Keep Soldiers at Home.
"Mr Baker speaks as if shortly
there would be 10000 Americans in
France. Can the United States spare
such a large number of men? The
answer is no, because a large part of
the army must remain behind for the
protection of the frontiers. the coasts,
the colonies and for other duties of
a political nature.
THE political situation compels the
United States to keep at home the
greater proportion of its army and the
country can at the most put only 40O,-
600 or 5000 men into the European
battlefields.''

to save Pardee's life. The caboose and
engine were cut loose from the train
and with Pardee in the caboose a race
against death to get the brakeman to
Kansas City for expert treatment be-
gan. The string of cars was left on
the siding. Pardee's injuries were so
serious, however, that he died as the
special was passing thru Lawrence.

lived az Wamego. For the last two
or three months, however, he has been
and family.

The offenders were sent for and if
their explanations are not satisfactory
it was said that they would be prose-
cuted.
Few Exceptions in Detroit
Detroit, Mich, Jan. 1S.-With few
exceptions Detroit industries affected
by the Garfield five-day closing order
are shut down today. Some were in
operation for a few hours to clean up
production under way but they will
fall in line. The disposition to defy
the order which was apparent yester-
day was changed upon receipt of word
that Doctor Garfield has signed it and
apparently had the full support of the
president.

Innes gave the Kansas delegates
little hope of early relief from food
regulations and restrictions. He said
the present situation warranted more
drastic orders and that two days in
stead of one are to be listed as wheat
less days. In an effort to enforce
observation in homes. the food admin
stration will compel the purchase of
su Institute fiours in equal portions
with wheat flour.
Allies Need Grain Badly.
The United States must send as
million bushels of wheat to her allies
between this time and the next wheat
harvest. Innes said. This supply can
be spared only thru voluntary or en-
forced self denial by the American
people. Innes's speech is especially
significant since he recently attended
a conference of all state administra-
tors with Herbert Hoover, federal ad-
ministrator and representatives of
food administration bureaus of the
allies He told the convention today
of the new plan for saving the ma
tions wheat supply and practicing
strict economy that the allies over
seas may be fed.
This is our program to save
wheat, Innes said today He then
outlined the following policy:
Cut Down Cereals
Limiting manufacturers of cream
of wheat. shredded wheat and sim
liar products by cutting down the sup
ply to 30 per cent of their present
receipts.
Limiting bakeries by requiring them
to use 20 per cent substitute in all
bread and 80 per cent substitute in
pastries.
Limiting supplies to wholesalers and
grocers, who will in turn limit the
trade.
Later a rule shall be issued which
will require all householders to pun
chase an equal supply of wheat sub
stitute with every pound of wheat"
lnnes caid. Those substitutes are
corn meal, rice, barley. grits, oats. oat-
meal and hominy. The buyer can use

PROTESTS ARE IN VAIN.
Saloon Men Particularly Oppose Clos
ing Places of Business.

Kansas City, Jan. 18.-Protests
against the order of the local fuel ad-
ministrator, Walter Lampkin. in which
sweeping restrictions were made
against the use of fuel began here
today. Saloon proprietors were said
to be especially emphatic in urging
that the restrictions be modified. BY
the terms of the order saloons and
places of amusement are to be closed
all day on Mondays and Tuesdays and
at 10 p. m., other days.
Mr.. Lampkin's order was based up
on the one issued for the state by

said there was no intention at pre-
sent to modify the local order which

gard to lighting.

ed today. This was few minutes be-
fore the senate passed its resolution
asking him to postpone five days the
date of the order going into effect
1t was stated at the fuel admins
tration that instructions to state fuel
administrators were on their way an
hour before the senate's action was
officially brought to Garfield's atten-
tion.
But the lateness of the order and
the general confusion thruout yester-
day left hundreds of industries un-
certain whether they should open to-
day. AS q result, thousands of work
ers in the eastern half the United
states went to their labor as usual
this morning only to find they were
not wanted.
