MORE RICE IS BEING
CONSUMED IN SOUTH

DALLAS, Tex, Nov. 20.-The
war resulted in increased produc-
ton and increased consumption OF
rice in Texas during the last year.
An extensive campaign in the
south for greater acreage and for
use of rice as a substitute was
largely responsible.
Big producers in Texas, where
100000 sacks of rough rice is
grown annually, believe that the
war has taught housewives the
value of rice as food and that the
increase in consumption will con-
'tinue. 1t is estimated that 3S per
cent of the country's annual pro-
duction of rice is grown on the 800
acres under cultivation In Texas.

RUSS RAILROAD
IS AGAIN OPEN

PICKING, Nov. 81. - One Of the
immediate results Of the Czecho
Slovaks' success in Siberia is the
~reopening of normal traffic on the
trans-Siberian railway, at least as
far as Irkutsk, the service between
Vladivostok and Hardin having
been in operation for some time.
and it is no strain upon the i'm
agination to anticipate through
communication to Europe at no
distant date.
The American railway commits
sion in Siberia has contributed to
this result. About 80 of the 500
members of the commission which
accepted by the Kerensky gov
eminent went for months to Maya
saki after the Bolshevik revolution.
but the remainder spent the time
in Siberia, where they mixed with
the Russian workers and demon
strated simple and up-to-date
methods.

the German machine also were
working vigorously. .
The machines had worked up to
a considerable height and attracted
the attention of aviators in nearby
airdromes who were not in the Sc
cret and who were amazed to see
a lone German airplane circling
over an American pursuing group
in broad daylight. Four big ma
chimes from these other camps
came over to see what it was all
about, ready to put the finishing
touch to the German If their help
was needed. BY signaling they
were warned that it was all a
game and they sailed away again.
Suddenly the German machine
swerved and the figure of a man
came hurting to the ground.

of the mechanics who had been
delegated to fetch the dummy fig
ure, for it had struck ground near

RAW TURN|PS FED

CAN ARMIES IN THE FIELD,
Nov. %. = German soldiers on the
British sector of the western front
evidently were not SO we'll off in
the matter of food as their broth
ers who fought on the French and
American sectors. The correspond
emit of the Associated Press found
at Valenciennes, for example, that
the soldiers food consisted largely
of black bread, pork fat and raw
turnips.
In the st. Mihiel section, on the
other hand, the Germans had bis
cults made of white flour, COM
pressed beef, butter and cheese. A
part of these rations had come
from Russia, having been sent or
iginally to that country for the
Russian army by the United States.
In the French sector, from Rheims
to Verdun, the food generally of
the German forces was of better
grade and greater in quantity than
that of the men fighting in the
north.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-King George

fireless Buckingham palace.
Owing to the coal shortage and
to the fact that the country will

king had given orders to cut down
the use of Goa in all the royal
palaces to a strict minimum well
within legal rationing.
Almost every fireplace in the

DR.. Albert Zimmerman OIL Jan.

to propose an alliance between
Germany, Mexico and Japan to take
effect as soon as it was certain
there would be war against Ger

German minister was directed to
urge President Carranza of Mexico
to ask Japan's adherence to this
scheme. Zimmerman proposed that
Mexico should "reconquer the lost
territory of New Mexico, Texas and
Arizona.
