Jones is no name to make you

when your parents have added to the
Jones two names like Andieus Arts

up and take notice.
However, Senator Jones of New

notice for something more important
than two mere front" names. He
is a conner" in the senate. He is
progressive. He is the man who puts

around too strongly in his Indian

war bread containing a five per cent
substitute for wheat flour, prescribed
by the food administration as part
of it's 1918 food conservation program.
At the same time grocers are instruct
ed to sell to householders wheat flour
only when the purchaser buys an
equal amount of some other cereal.
The percentage of substitute flours
used by baking establishments will be
increased gradually until a 90 per cent
substitution is reached on February
"a. AS substitutes bakers may use
either some other cereal or fours made
from potatoes or beans.
To force wheat conservation both
wholesalers and retailers will be re-
quired to limit their purchases of
wheat flour to 20 per cent of last
years supplies. The remaining per
cent will be taken from the mills by
the food administration for export
surplus and for reserve stores.

Secretary Baker Says Enemy
Will Strike at American
Communication Lines.
QUIET NOW PREVAILS
Secretary Baker Warns Of Impending
Activity by German Underseas
Craft, Most Powerful Vet
Shown.

Washington, Jan. 28.-Warning that
the Germans are preparing for great
submarine offensive against the Amer
lean lines of communication with
France in connection with the impend-
ing Teutonic drive against the west
front. is given by Secretary Baker in
his weekly military review. Recently
there has been a marked decrease in
the number of allied merchant ships
sunk by submarines. The explanation
submarines in preparation for the
coming thrust on land and seas. The
review says:
LAS the time draws near when once
again the enemy will endeavor to
strike a decisive blow in the west, it
must be emphasized that he Will not
be content with mere military opera
tions on a large scale.
During the past fortnight enemy
submarines have been recalled to some
ports to be refitted, and the most pow
erful submarine offensive hitherto un-
dertaken may be expected to be
launched against our lines of commun-
ication with France, to interrupt the
steady flow of men and mutations for
our own armies and food supplies for
the allies.
During the period under review, re-
newcd activity along the entire vest
ern front is noted.
1.-THE region bordering the North
sea has again become the scene of Sc
we're fighting.
IA carefully coordinated operation
undertaken by British monitors acting
in concert with land batteries in the
area north of Ypres subjected the Ger
man defenses of Ostend and suround-
ing country to a severe bombardment.
mo infantry action was attempted
in this sector by the British, but later
in the week the Germans reacted
sharply and directed strong assault
against IL short sector of the line in the
Dune area. This attack broke into the
French lines for a brief period, but the
French brought up additional forces
and drove out the enemy and were able
to reestablish their former positions"
