,OOORESTAURANTS
AND 500 HOTELS TO
PUT BAN ON WHEAT
Extreme War Measure to Go
Into Effect Not Later Than
April "A.

Some time between tomorrow and
April II 500 hotels and more than
5000 restaurants throughout the
country will cease to serve wheat
products in any form on their tables.
This extreme war measure, which
was counsellod by National Food Ad-
ministrator Herbert Hoover in Wash
ington yesterday, was voluntarily ac-
cepted as a pledge Of action to-day
by hotel men from every section OF
the country. who met at tho Hotel
Biltmorc. They had transferred their
Washington meeting to this city -
cause even hotel men cannot find
hotel accommodation in the crowded
capital.
After the stringent wheat conser-
walton measure had been discussed
at the meeting, over which Paul Bo-
den, Vice President and General Man
agcr OF the Hotel Manhattan, pre-
sided, the following resolution was
offered by August Jannsen OF New
York:
Whereas there is an increasing
shortage OF -four in this country and
whereas 1t is important to ship all
available wheat TO the Allies 10 heir
win tho war, he II resolved:
THAT we hotel and restaurant men
in session stop the serving OF all
wheat products, beginning as soon as
possible but not later than April a.
The only circumstance which pre-
vents the immediate putting into ap,
plication of the hotel and restaurant
mems voluntary saving Of wheat floul
is the difficulty OF laying in sutfi
Client store OF wheat substitute. Blu
it was agreed that before April /.
these stocks could be had.

as yet the German advance cannot
be said to have been stopped"
