SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THREsAINe
Farmers, Urged by Food Administra.
tlon. Provide Seven Extra Loaves
Of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
Fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed. threshermen and farmers Of the
United States this year saved fully
10000, 900 bushels Of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
lonyes Of bread for every person In
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley,
oats. rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from 80 grain states to the d.
8. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures of conservation in the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished in scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent--the estimated average
In normal times-to the lowest posi-
bic minimum. Country grain thresh-
grain growing community the official
/ recommendation for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was renewed. But in
proportion to the number of persons
engaged in gathering the nations grain
crop, cases of compulsion We're com
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success OF
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher
men and their crews. Incidentally
grain growers of the United States are
many millions of dollars "in pocket

NO ONE SUFFERED HERE.

The marvel Of our voluntary food
saving. now that we are getting re-
suits" is that no one ever actually
suffered any hardship from it,; that
we all are better in health and spirit
and better satisfied with ourselves be-
cause of our friendly self-denial.

In no other nation is there so willing
sense of voluntary self-sacrifice as
in America-that was shown in the
abstinence from wheat.

Find more wheat, 1t came: more

Argues Before the House Committee on Lands 10 Have Act Extend
 ed 10 Alaska.
ASSISTED BY OTHERS
Increased Production in Alaska Impossible with out Better Fuel
 Supply.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 Delegate Charles A. Sulzer. J. J. Finnegan, of Seward and Henry Hartman, of Ket- chikan, argued before the House Committee on public lands the gen erail oil, coal gas and leasing bill which has been passed by the Sen ate.
 The Alaskans urged the retention of the Senate amendment extending the provisions of the bill to Alaska
 Deelgate Sulzer's argument was in effect that the war demanded a greater increase this year in Alas kas production of minerals and foods and that the further expansion of these industries is dependent upon a supply of fuel from the outside now growing shorter, hence the neces sity of more liberal terms in the de veiopment of oil lands particualrly.
 The bill provides for the leasing of coal through competitive bidding Alaska being excepted.

Imperial Chancellor De- CIareS That Four Prin- CipIes from Wilson
 Are All Right. BUT THERE IS AN "IF." Claims That All Nations of the World Must Be
 Agreed to Accept
 the Principles.

DATELESS, Feb. 26.-Germany, through Imperial Chancellor von Her ting, declares that general peace can be discussed on four principles laid down by President Wilson, of the United States.
 The Chancellor's statement of the acceptance of these was followed by another statement that the princi- ples in question must be recognized by all of the Nations and States and the people therein.
 He said that that stage has not as yet been reached. He said a court of arbitration was still lacking and that the worlds tribunal was preju- diced against Germany, which de- clines to be judged by it's present biased opinions.
 In his speech the Chancellor threw out a hint to Belgium that it would find it to its interest to enter into a separate peace agreement with the Central Powers, the same as was being favored by Rumania, Ukraine, and the Russian Bolsheviki.
 The Chancellor said that the ideas of England were still imperiaiistic, and until these changed, there could be no thought of permanent peace based upon principles laid down by the President of the United States.

HINDU CASES
 ARE GROWING
 IN INTEREST One of Defendants Wants Cabinet Officers Sum- moned to Testify
 for Him. INDIAN POET IS CALLED Tagore Who Won the Mo- bIe Prize Is Said to Figure Prominently
 in Case.
INDIAN POET IS CALLED

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26-Ram Chandra, the principal Hindu defend ant among 31 charged with conspir- ing to foment a revolution in India, intends to subpoena Robert Lansing, Secretary of State; and Postmaster General A. S. Burleson and William Jennings Bryan.
 Rabindranath Tagore. Indian poet, is to testify for the defense. Chan dras says he wants the United States officials to testify that the govern ment had no knowledge of the alleg- ed German revolution.
 Tagore is the winner of the Noble prize for literature, having won it in 1913. He is recognized as an intel leetual leader of his race. He is now in Japan.
 s Ghandra said the Indian poet would make every effort to come to this country and testify in his behalf Tagore is to be questioned concerning the difficulties he encoun- tered on visit to San Francisco some time ago, when he was fur nished with a bodyguard as the re suit of reported threats against his life by Hindu revolutionists. No Hin dus were admitted to see him while he was in California.
 Secretary Lansing will be asked to tell of the circumstances which led to the published report in England last March that England had asked this country for a million dollar indem- nifty because of the growth in this country of the alleged conspiracy to foment a revolution in India. It is doubtful whether the Cabinet off cers can be subpoenaed as indicated by the defendant.
