crank letter had not been properly investigated. but government agents in various parts of the country were inclined to believe that it was well founded. Guards were again strength ened to make even more difficult the depredations of German agents.
 Disastrous fires started olny a few hours apart in shipyards at Newark, N J., and Baltimore. The losses will aggregate two million dollars.
 Fires were discovered on two muni- ton ships at two Atlantic ports today but they were extinguished before serious damage had been done.
 Eight men were killed, and many injured by an explosion in powder magazine in the United States navy torpedo station at Newport. R. I. It was saia however, that there was nothing to indicate this disaster was the work of enemy agents.
 There were other fires of sus- picious nature in New York, Pater- son, N J., Buffalo, Maynard, Mass, and Peterboro. Canada.
 In every case a rigid investigation will be held by military or municipal authorities in order to fix the respon- sibility.

SHIP LOADED WITH WAR
 SUPPLIES AFIRE AT PIER

An Atlantic Port, Jan. &c., Loaded with war supplies for the Italian army, some of them highly infamabIe, a ten thousand ton American munitions steamship armed fore and aft, and making ready to sail, caught fire this af- ternoon while tied up at her pier.
 Among the cargo are several hundred barrels of glycerine and benzine, tons of tar paper, army blankets and other supplies.
 Two Italian army officers were on board when the fire broke out forward among rolls of tar paper. Fire boats deuged the big ship and more damage was done by water than by fire.
 The loss is not yet computed, but will be heavy.
 United States officers are to. night Investigating the cause.

Washington, Jan. 26-The Ameri- can people will go on a war bread diet Monday as a part of war ration ing system prescribed tonight by President Wilson and the food admin istration. Victory" bread, the food administration calls it.
 The reduced rations are asked for the purpose of creating a larger ex- port surplus of food for the Euro pean allies. Curtailment of consump- tion will be accomplished largely by voluntary effort, but force will be employed wherever permitted under the food control act
 The rationing system as presented by the president in a proclamation and by Food Administrator Hoover in list of regulations forms the food administration 1918 food conserva- ton program of which the chief feat ures are:
 A bakers bread of mixed Hours be ginning Monday with a five per cent substitution of other cereals for wheat until twenty per cent sub sthution is reached February 24.
 Sale by retailers to .useholders
 
 Hours for every pound of wheat flour purchased at the time the wheat flour is bought
 Sale by millers to wholesalers and wholesalers to retailers of only sev- enty per cent of the amount of wheat flour sold last year.
 Two wheatless days a week-,Mon- day and Wednesday-and one wheat less meal a day
 Two porkless days a weak-Tues day and Saturday
 Manufacturers of macaroni. spa ghetu. noodles. crackers and break fast foods, pie cake and pastry will be permitted to buy only seventy De, cent of their last years purchases and are asked to perform patriotic service by using suystitute Hours.
 Flour will be sold through the regu- lar channels and in such manner that each community will receive its equivalent share.
 The food administration will pur- chase for the army and for the allies as announced recently, thirty per cent of the flour output and out of this store will fill emergency requirements If stocks run low in any part of the country Wheat millers are required to produce one barrel of flour of 19( from 264 pounds of wheat which rep resents seventyfour per cent flour No patent or special Hours may Toe manufactured although whole wheat flour may be made as usual. Hotels and restaurants will be classed as bakeries and will be required to serve the new Victory bread
 State food administrators will be permitted to designate the wheatles, meal in each state. Where this iS not done the food administration re- quests that the evening meal be ob- served as wheatless.
 There is no forcible limitation oi purchases by householders. lNlr Hoover estimates the observ- ance of the regulations will save about fifteen million .ushel of whea a month for shipment abroad Thi: will enable the allies to subsist al though their ration will\ be short All of the allies and the central pow CTS as well are on a war bread die now

GERMANS BACK
BERLIN CHIEFS
Teuton Populace Remains
Loyal Despite Food
Shortage.

Germany Is far from being
starved out according 20 Ira Mel
son Morris. American Minister 70
Sweden. who is now In Washington.
Il have read reports in the press
since my return home to the effect
that Germany is on the verge of
starvation" Mr.. Morris said. "and
find this TO be the opinion OF many
with whom I come in daily contact
There can be no question that there
is a shortage Of most OF the essen
tials of life. bat 10 state that this
borders on the verge of starvation
Is erroneous and misleading. ] base
this statement on many report,
from reliable sources that have
reached me in Stockholm. There is
no doubt that in many parts Of
Germany there is a marked scarcity
of food and that the civilian popu-
lation has been reduced TO the mini
mum ration, but still receives suf-
hcient for existence. Conditions are
better in the rural districts, par
ticularly as regards the farmers and
landowners, even in the northern
part of Germany, where the scarcity
Is most felt. In the southern part
conditions improve still more. and
resorts and hotels there still serve,
meals at moderate prices. In the
case Of the army. there has been
but slight deprivation: this has been
fed at the expense OF the civilian
population
People In Ignorance. o.
''In German Poland. in mEnufs ctur-
Ing districts. and in the more densely
populated parts there has been suf-
fering. quite visible in the enacla-
ton OF the people, which has nat
urslly impaired the efficiency Of the
German workman, who no longer pos
sesses full vigor; but II Is a mistake
TO believe that this has provoked a
strong current toward revolution, or
any general lessening Of the loyalty
OF the people. They still possess fsith
in the invincibility OF the military
power. being purposely kept in ix-
norance OF the real condition on the
Western front, not only as reys ris
German reverses. but also the tull
significance Of Americas entry into
the war.
1T is TO the advantage Of our coun-
try, and our cause. that we should
know the actual conditions which
face US in this great crusade OF de-
mocracy 50 that We can more ef-
fectively direct our effort toward vic
tory.
The people Of the United States
are resolute and determined. The
country should realize that its entire
energy must be put into the struggle
and must not be relaxed for a singh
instant There is no doubt Of victory
so long as these moves by Germany
are plainly understood"

The Tampa Tribune calls attention
to case in the courts, where the
heir of an estate had to pay exorbi-
tant fees in order to obtain a minor
portion of the legacy left to him by
his father. The Tribune says this
case may have been law but it wasn't
justice. If the Tribune will observe
closely it will see that there is more
compromise than justice in law. About
the only time when justice really
triumphs is when murderer is hung
A man falsely accused of crime must
generally go to great trouble and ex-
pense to establish his innocence. How
ever, law is better than lawlessness,
and if the people will keep on trying
they will establish absolute justice
about a week before the millennium.

bring on general strike if Mooney is
hung. The trial of Mooney is strict
~ the affair of the state of California,
which for the last forty years has
been the theateg of a most unreason-
able conflict between labor and CAPT
tai. There is 10 doubt that justice in
California is in dilapidated condi-
ton, but that is CALIFORNIA; affair,
and for labor union in Georgia or
Minnesota to call a strike because a
man in California is executed, even
tho the execution be unjust, is a
senseless procedure
