Washington. March 23.-Further re-
duction in the consumption of wheat
was asked of the public tonight by
the food administration that the
scant supplies available before the
next harvest may be stretched to meet
the needs of the army. domestic con-
sumers and the allies.
Every American is requested to cut
his average ration of wheat by so per
cent. which would reduce the total
normal consumption Of 10000 900 BUSH
els month to $1,000. 900. This gives
re ton Of not more than one and half
pounds of wheat products weekly for
each person. Flour, sales will be cut
to one eighth Of a barrel for a town
customer and one quarter of barrel
for anv country customer that retail
ers' stocks may be distributed to as
great a number as possible.
The wheat content Of bakers bread
will be reduced to rs per cent on April
IA, which increases by five per cent
the amount OF substitutes that may
be used.
Allies Dependent on Wheat.
With food rations in France and
ENGLAND cut to the utmost there has
been constant DANCER that the United
States could not meet even minimum
demands because Of transportation
handicaps. The breakdown in the rail-
reads unset the corn exportation sched-
u,e so that on March there had been
sent abroad only 100000 bushels

year and the 100 900 900 bushels which
it was honed to send. Accordingly the
foreign POPULATIONS have been denen-
dent on wheat. Their need of wheat
is growing. for after Anril 1 the ship
ment Of corn is attended with great
risk of loss. owing to the possibility
Of termination. More than 100000
bushels OF contract corn has been
gathered for shipment abroad in the
last few DAYS through the cooperation
of grain EXCHANGES and big handlers
with the food administration.
Farmers Holding Back Wheat.
As the demand for wheat has grown
the supplies in elevators have dwindled
Too. the usual flow of grain to market
has, decreased in the last month from
100000 bushels weekly to 100000
due, it is declared, to the desire OF
farmers to hold out their grain for the
higher price proposed in legislation be-
fore congress.
Corn growers have added to the con-
fusion by threatening that if the corn
price is not raised, and fixed, as the
price of wheat has been fixed, they
would plant wheat instead of corn
which officials declare would work un-
told loss in the meat supply.
The price of flour will be increased
to SIS a barrel if the $3.50 bushel for
wheat becomes law, according to food
administration officials. Food admin
istration officials said tonight their
work had been hampered by the re-
fusal of many persons to cooperate
in food conservation.

The great war was brought directly to Phoenix by Lieutenant Perigord. We had heard of the war. We had been touched by it somewhat through the draft, the enstments, the Liberty loan and the Red
 Cross campaigns We had read the war news and had been mortified by stories of German atrocities We had heard lecturers, those who had come from near-scenes of conflict but after all the had not lost all that remoeness with which it had been in ivested to us, from the beginning.

By Remlik THE GERMAN LAMB

The Kaiser had a phony lamb, which fed from out his hand, And grew to be the biggest thing, In that dear Fatherland. The Kaiser often looked at him, In almost thoughtful thought, When the lamb would do a funny trick. The which, he'd not been taught. The Kaiser did not like such tricks. So when they were foreseen; The iron hand was laid upon The little lambkins bean. The years grew on, and on. and on, And the lamb kept growing bigger,
 I'll the Kaiser thought, he had, about, Attained his greatest vigor. And now the Kaiser started war, And with a broad salaam; He introduced his prodigy;
 His mighty fighting lamb.
 Then to the slaughter, went the lamb, And valiantly he fought
 While using all the crooked tricks Which his royal master taught. But one sad day the lamb was whipped. And then from off his eyes, Somebody raised the snow white fleece Much to the lambs surprise. The lamb could see distinctly, Despite the German mote;
 That he had never been a lamb, And plainly was a goat.
 Full wratr, sir goat did ramp and roar As soon as he got wise
 And started for the "Fatherland," To clean up with the Kise.
 The Kaiser saw the goats approach, And summoning his gang;
 Prepared to meet the awful thing; The German boomerang.
 Thus will end the German monarch, And his autocratic sway.

EARTH's ICE IS MELTING

Recent Antarctic explorations and researches have yielded significant evidence regarding the prob lems of the Ice Age and of the similarity of the succession of geological climates in polar with those in other attitudes. The data secured by these expe dtions sufficient to establish the following premises
 several times larger than all other ice-covered areas is slowly decreasing in extent and depth.
 ?. That the succession of geological cli- mates has prevailed in Antarctic in other attitudes.
 This impressive and conclusive evidence is cor roborated by the greater and still impressive evidences of the comparatively recent uncoverng of temperate land areas. and the progressive retreat of the line to higher elevations in temperate and tropical attitudes and toward the poles at level being far greater in Arctic than in Antarctic regions We are therefore confronted with the clusions:
 l. That the disappearance of the Ice Age is an active present process and must be accounted for by activities and energies at work, and that the of assumptions and hypotheses is not permissible
 ?. That the rates and lines of retreat are and have been determined by exposure to solar energy and the temperatures established thereby; and by the difference in the specific heat of the land and water hemispheres.
 3. That the lines of the disappearance of ice not conformabe with those of it's deposition, and mark distinctly different exposure and climatic trol from that which prevailed prior to the culmna- tion of the Ice Age.
 4. This retreat also marks a rise in mean surface temperature along these lines manifestly due to recently naugurated exposure to solar radiation and also the inauguration of the trapping of heat derived from such exposure; which process is cumulative and has a maximum not yet reached
 The researches under the direction of Captain Scott and Sir Ernest Shacketon have therefore point ed out with unerring accuracy the vital conclusion that the energies which have but recently con- vered the glacial lake beds of Canada into most pro- the undras of today into the grain fields of tomorrow pr Marsden Manson in Science.

If American strength is to have sweetness in it, and American greatness some gentleness and American success real satisfaction then checks and baancings there must be in thought about God and good about men and help, about life and death and accountability. Church buildings help to start these thoughts and to preserve and continue them; and out of their unwordiness the hopeless debit of their expense accounts they teach great truth that 1t is not the mailed fist the moneyed power but It IS the pierced hand that really sways the destinies of our race-Bishop Futile in the Living Church.

YOUTH EXONERATED FUR SHOOTING JOHN
 JACKSON AT TEMPE [

TEMPE, May 14.-Clifford Lowden who shot and killed John Jackson, $ negro in Tempe Sunday afternoon was exonerated of all blame by a coroners jury yesterday the testimony at the inquest tending to show that the lad was justified in killing Jack son who was the aggressor Lowden was stabbed twice by the negro be- fore he drew his gun and fired two shots from which Jackson died haif an hour after the shooting. The as sault on Lowden will not prove seri- ous, the boy being able to take the stand at the inquest before Coroner Cummings yesterday.
 The trouble arose over Jackson's criticism of the service he received at the restaurant where Lowden was em-
 ployed as waiter. He was told that if
 he did not care for the place he might
 go elsewhere which prompted the
 negro into threatening to give Low
 den his He, later, left the restaurant
 and Lowden again encountered him
 at the Fields Cleaning works where he went to claim Q parcel in the aft ernoon.
 Jackson, according to witnesses, at tackled the boy as soon as he made his appearance despite his ontreatiet to stop quarelling. When he drew I knife and stabbed him twice in the shoulder Lowden fired first to scare the negro and when he saw it was without avail aimed at Jackson's heart with telling effect.
 Before having his own wounds dressed Lowden sought Constable Woods, and gave himself up. The sheriff's office was notified yesterday morning and Deputy Sher- if E. J. Warren investigated the
 case, stating that Lowden would not be arrested in view of the course taken by the jury. Lowden is 20 years of age and the negro was 21.
