Vn BREAD COSTLY TO
 BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government pays 3200, ,o00, 900 toward the cost of that nations war bread. That Is the principal reason why English bread prices arc lower today ts the consumer than in America. Incidentally the British bread is much poorer than the American.
 Great Britain has taken over all home grown grain, bought at an arbi- trary price, and all imported wheat bought in markets of the world at pre- vHiling prices. This is turned over to the mills by the government at a price that allows the adulterated war bread loaf of four pounds to sell at IS cents. The two pound loaf costs g cents. and the one pound loaf sells for 5 cents
 In milling. however. IA per cent more -four Is extracted from the wheat than in America And there is q com pulsoy adulteration of 20 per cent. and an allowable adulteration of 50 per cent.
 Compared with American bread. the British product is only about 65 per cent. pure at its best
 In France, under conditions some what similar. but with a larger extrac- ton. the four pound loaf sells for 1s cents.

EUROPE NEEDS FOOD
Food Administration Declares It Is an Absolute Sin to Waste Food-Food
 Has Become Sacred.

Europe is still sending an insistent call for more food We must send 1t if the war is to go on efficiently. If we eat 1t all we cannot ship 1t, and the food administration has already tried to picture how much that wheat fs needed by people who will starve if they do not get 1t. the food administra- ton states
 "For the least bit of heedlessness on your part in food conservation some enc somewhere in the world must suf- fer privation." an official statement declares. "The food administration has mastered the problem of Ameri- lca's food in such . way that every ounce of food conserved and kept In the currents of trade goes to an empty stomach in Europe. .lt is an absolute sin to waste food. Food has become sacred.
 Food means life: 1t means some ibsdy's life. aBd you cannot escape re- Ronsibility.

AMERICAN SAVINGS WILL MEASURE WHEAT EXPORTS

I've have already exported the whole of the surplus of the 1917 wheat harvest, over and above the normal de hands of our own population. It is necessary, therefore, for the food ad. iministration to restrict export of wheat % as to retain in the United States Dulncient supplies to carry our owr people until the next harvest.
 Therefore all exports of wheat from now forward are limited entirly lts volume of saving made by the Amer. lican people in their consumption of wheat and wheat products.
 I've continued wheat shipments fo, December as far as our situation al.
 lowed. but even with all the conserva.
 ton made we were still unable to load
 several hundred thousand tons of food. stufs urgently required by the allied lnattoas during the month of December alones

From what little news leaks out from Germany and Austria shows that there is a spirit of un- rest among the people. The food situation is becoming intol- erable and bread riots are of ire quent occurrence. It will not be at all surprising if the internal conditions of these countries do not equal those of Russia before many months, or even weeks. The rank and file are growing restive under the yoke of militia " power and are clamoring for more liberty and more to eat for the civilian. There seems to be no doubt but what the condition of Germany and Austria is bad, indeed.

The new American Liberty motor will carry an areo-plane through space at the speed of 200 miles an hour and numerous planes are being mounted with these terrific speed motors, for use against the Germans in Northern France and Belgium. By the time the Spring Is well open there will be many Ameri- cans across the seas, well equip ped in improved war machinery. and the Germans will soon be made to feel that they are not the only people on earth who can invent deathdealing devices. or the only ones who know how to use them.

bride of Brooks A. Taylor, who says
she was attacked by three strange
men who choked her to condition
of seRlf-unconsciousness and then
forced her TO swallow capsule con-
taining poison. She is in n local hos
pital in serious condition.
Her husband was sued for alleged
breach of promise by Blanche None
gan about week ago. $4,000 be-
in gasked This suit, it is said, has
impaired Mrs. Taylor's health to the
extent of a nervous breakdown, The
death of an aunt, her only relative in
this country, also added to the seri-
BUSINESS OF her condition.
Mr.. Taylor has been unable to eY-
plain the report of the three strange
men entering his home and choking
his wife. Officers expressed the
opinion last night that it was possible
she had told of the attack while suf-
fering fom extreme nervousness,
There are finger prints on her throat
however, as though she had been
choked and this has puzzled the off,

Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor, a young wo-
man and Lawrence Christensen had
been seated in the parlor of the Tay-
lor home, Whitman street, shortly
after midnight this morning and Mrs.
Taylor went up stairs. The others
heard sounds of a struggle and hur-
ried to the upper floor. where Mrs.
Taylor was found on the floor. No
other persons were seen and none
were heard to make their escape,
though the windows were open.
Several days ago the Taylors turn
ed over to the police two letters writ

and both asking her to meet the
writer in the City Park to learn
something regarding her husband.
One said if she responded she would
find out things about him "and then
you won't think he is so NICE" The
other contained the words: Last

DRAWS BLUE SLIP

George Pembroke, former PEN
dleton catcher, who has been trying
out with the Portland Buckaroos. was
yesterday released by Manager Fisher
because of slowness In rounding into
condition. He left for Portland and
local fans are betting he catches on
with another club of the same league.
Pembroke reported in poor condi~
ton and the fact that Gunner Peter
son. Cox and Feurborn are all poten-
tial catchers contributed to his re-
lease. Peterson is figured by Fisher
as his best bet behind the bat so far,
and all three of the men can work
in the infield or Outfield as well as
behind the bat, whereas Pembroke
is a one-place man. Penn" has been
slamming the ball hard during the
past week and, If he gets into the
condition he was when he played
with Pendleton. he should be a val
liable man to- any club of the p. c. 1.
League.

been sent to Spokane. The remain
