Washington, February 22 - Lamb

there is no chance now for lifting the

declares, Americas beef export to the
allies have amounted to less than 5
per cent of the total cattle slaughters.
The per capita consumption of beef
and pork during 1917 increased over
that of pre-war years.
Beef and pork must be left off the

administration explains have been re-

80 per cent of the American consump-
ton, European rations today are 80

ORE BELGIANS SEIZED by HUNS

Washington, February 22-Oficial
dispatches to the Belgian legation to-
day told of the further commander
ing by the Germans of young Belgians
for military work behind the German
lines and the fining of Louis Franck
Ia Flanders deputy, ten thousand
marks for urging the Flemish people
to stand steadfast in their resistance
to German political intrigue.
Franck was taken before a mill
try tribunal and was threatened with
deportation, the dispatch said, but de-
spite the German concern over the
spread Of the movement against the
authority of the self-styled council of
Flanders, this threat was not carried
out. The judgment declared that since
the deputy was charged with having
melted spirit of opposition, this
was the last time he could hope to
escape with a fine.
Communicating of men for work
behind the German lines continues to
grow. the dispatch said. AT Renaix
an industrial town in Eastern Fland-
ers 800 young men were seized, many
being taken in the streets. Some had
fed and the Germans threatened to
take old men unless the young ones
returned.
Students we're taken from the en-
cheering school Of Mona and sent to
work at an aviation camp, while In
Luxembourg more than 800 young men
have been taken from villages for mil

LOSE WAR

Philadelphia, February % - AS a
war necessity the people must largely
refrain from eating wheat flour for
the next sixty days, possibly for a
longer period. This statement was
made today on the authority of Her
bert c. Hoover, federal food admins
traitor, by Howard Heinz, admirls-
traitor for Pennsylvania, speaking be-
fore an audience of newspaper nm
ayers. A Telegram was read from
Mr.. Hoover which made it plain that
this country must Immediately send
food to the Allies or lose the war If
it is not sent "it means but one thing,
catastrophe" declared Mr.. Hoover.

rector General Says az Far M
Railroads are Concerned
There VIII Be no
Famine.

Washington, February 22-Director-
General McAdoo today gave assur-
ance that 80 far as transportation is
concerned, there is no danger Of suf-
fering from q serious food shortage
In the eastern part of the country"
This was prompted by the warning
given last night by Food Administra-
tor Hoover that unless grain and meat
movement Is greatly increased In the
next sixty days, the country is threat
ened with an acute shortage Of food,
and the program of food shipments to
the Allies will fail.
In letter to Mr.. Hoover, the direc-
tor-general declared that If the food
administrator will give definite infor-
nation on the location of stocks of
supplies intended for the Allies, the
railroads will move them promptly to
seaboard.
simultaneously the railroad admin
istration gave cut figures showing
that the movement of grain to pri-
mary markets in the West within the
last ten days was far greater than in
previous years.
Although declaring their desire to
avoid a controversy with the rood
administration, officials of the rail
road directorate today did not con-
ceal their belief that Mr., Hoover's
statement was not borne out by facts
shown in their reports. Members of
Mr.. McAdoo's staff assumed the atti
ude that Mr.. Hoover had dealt in
generalities, not supported by figures
or other evidence showing such a pes
simistic outlook on future food con-
ditions.

Since the capture of Jerusalem the
British have been pushing ahead
steadily, striking out to the North and
East. Official statements from Lon
don in the last few days have report
ed rapid progress, and apparently the
Turks have offered no determined re-
sistance.
Aside from its historical import
ance, in connection with the British
plan to free the Holy Land from the
domination of the Turks, the capture
of Jericho is of little significance 1t
consists merely of group of qualid
novels and few ships, with about
300 inhabitants. Its chief strategic
value lies in the fact that it gives
the British domination of the Valley
of Jordan and also control of net
work of highways radiating from the
town.
