Ordered Reduced,

War ice cream is the latest OF the
so-eslled war foods 10 be placed on the
market, and under an agreement
reached at a conference yesterday after
noon between state, city and ice cream
manufacturers il was decided that ice
cream should be manufactured with
only 10 percent butterfat instead OF
II percent as is provided in the city
ice cream ordinance and that not more
than six pounds OF sugar must be used
in the manufacture OF ten gallons OF
ice cream Approved substitutes for
sugar OF at least so percent must be

manufacturers ADVISING them to use
only 10 percent fat, while the city ordi-
nance provides for not less than II per-
cent fat in the manufacture Of ic,

M'ADOO WILL STOP
PRIORITY ABUSES
General Order Outlines Rules
and Severe Penalties.
Special Despatch TO The srx.


WASHINGTON. July s-Director-Gen-
eral McAdoo has taken decisive steps to
stop the abuse Of the priorities privilege
to expedite private OF un;mportant ship
ments on the Government controlled
railroads.
Under standing orders all materials
for the Governments war needs get pr!-
GRITTY of shipment on the railroads over
all other material, and consequently
such shipments move like express mat
ter when others may be embargoed.
Many abuses OF priority markings have
crept into the system. Government con-
tractors have got materials expedited
that were not for Government or press
ing war needs, and some officers OF the
Government have used them to satisfy
individual needs or to care for their
friends.
AS result OF this situation the Di-
rector-General has issued general
order laying down strict priority rules
and providing a penalty OF a fine OF not
more than 5000 or imprisonment for
not more than two years, or both. for
infraction OF the order. Detailed and
specific consignment directions are given
and the order Is to be rigidly enforced.
Hereafter all shipments TO get pri-
GRITTY must he directed to a Government
office or officer by title. They cannot be
directed to or in care of any individual
and use Of the name CT the United States
Government or any OF its administra-
tive organs to gain favored treatment
for any individual or organization Is
expressly forbidden.

WAR BOARD CALLS D.
FOR STEEL SAVING
"Worlds Most Precious
Metap All Needed for War.
Special Despatch 10 The srN.

Special Despatch 10 THE srN.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Steel Is de-
scribed as the worlds most precious
metal in an appeal for its conservation
issued to-day by the War Industries
Board TO manufacturers and consumers
tf the country. Saving by every possible
means together. with its use for strictly
essential purposes only, is asked by the
board. The statement adds:
For the winning of the war steel IL
now the worlds most precious metal. II
Is consumed or used to some extent
every day by practically every civilized
man in every civilized country and no
where in such vast quantities per capita
as in the United States. The present
and constantly increasing steel require
ments OF this country and its allies for
direct and indirect war needs are 30
enormous as TO well nigh absorb our
constantly expanding producing capac-
ity. The result Is obvious There Will
be comparatively little iron and steel
left to distribute to those industries en-
gagged in non-war work and to con-
sumers for application to non-war uses.
Every possible use OF iron and steel
or their products which can be deferred
must be deferred until after the war.
Every pound collected and sold to scrap
iron dealers finds its way back into the
general supply Of iron and steel The
last quarter hour will win the war and
in that quarter hour the last shell will
be fred. That shell may be made from
steel that has been saved through the
collection of scrap or through denial
Of the luxury of purchasing steel in the
form of articles which have come to be
regarded as peace time necessities"

GAP Is FEARED IN
NATIONAL ARMY
Steady Flow Of Men Into It
May Stop Some Time in
November.
CLASS ONE NEAR END
Delay in Decision Regarding
Increase of Draft Ages .
Is Criticised.
Special Despafch to TIE Sex.


WASHINGTON, July 2S.-That there 10
to be a hiatus in the steady flow Of
men into the National Army beginning
In November. at the latest. as a result
OF the delay Of the Administration in
making UP its mind regarding the in
crease Of the draft ages is beginning to
appear more and more like a certainty.
Senator Wadsworth Of New York
pointed this out to the Senate when Sec
rotary Baker and Gen. March asked
that consideration OF the question be
postponed last June. Since then, how
ever, 100000 combatant American troops
have taken part in one OF the greatest
battles OF the war with losses that are
yet unknown. More calls have come for
special service troops and the reservoir
which Senator Underwood and other de-
Tenders OF Mr.. Baker thought was full
enough shows unmistakable signs OF an
approaching drought
Because OF the induction OF many Of
their Class l men In the special branches
a large number of districts are even
now at the end OF Glass l.
Secretary Baker has given no ind,ca-
ton as yet that his man power plan
which he promised Congress he would
submit some time In the fall. is anything
like ready, and that Is what IL causing
alarm here. Even II his plan is SUI
mitted by September the certainty that
the question will stir UP an extended
debate and the fact that Congress will
then be in the throes Of the revenue bill
seem to preclude the possibility Of enact
ment Of new draft law before Septem-
Der 8, with the chances that It would be
some weeks later.
To get the men OF the new ages regis
tered, classified and ready for call to
camp Gen. Crowder has estimated win
take from sixty to ninety days. That
would mean that the first OF the new
drafted men would not begin to flow
into the army before November or even
December Is.
1t now appears that the original Glass
1 will be exhausted by next week. But
to this have been added the men OBJ
tanned through combining other classes.
estimated at about 100000. There are
also the 400. 900 registrants OF last June.
These estimates stretched to the utmost
will not quite supply the August, Sep
TENDER and October calls. This is what
brings into view the hiatus in November
and possibly in December unless the
War Department and Congress act
quickly.

country has been suggested. Unfortu-
nately the committee knows Of no way
to obtain Quickly an accurate estimate
OF what gross sales would amount to
and Ia at loss to try to fix a rate
for such a tax.
The only estimate which has been
made Is that the gross sales OF all sorts
In the United States in the course OF a
year represent transactions amounting
to two hundred billion dollars II this
estimate Is nearly correct a tax of !
per cent. on gross sales would more than
make up the 1850 00. 900 in the bill
However. gross>sales might amount to
very much less and the funds with
which to fight the war might fall far
short OF expectations on that account. Be
cause of this element Of chance many
OF the committee favor some other
means OF bolstering up the bill to the
$4,000. 100000 mark Those members
favor consumption taxes on some ar
ticle In very general use. A tax on sugar
and coffee apparently Is the most favored
Of the suggested consumption taxes.
Tea and gasolene have been suggested
and may have an impoet on their use,
but II will he In addition to the taxes
on sugar and coffee II II is done. =
The committee Is expected to go back
to the individual income tax tomorrow
and try to straighten out the question
Of Attachments from the 10 per cent. nor
NAL tax rate so that the smaller in
comes will not be burdened unfairly.
After that the miscellaneous taxes which
It Is proposed to double will be taken up.

LONDON. July 2S.-A we'll informed
labor authority who has Just returned
from Coventry, centre OF the munitions
strike, told the correspondent of THE
Sun to-day there Is an increasing dis
position on the part of the men TO ac-
cept the Governments proposal for the
appointment OF a committee OF inquiry
with a neutral chairman, which would
investigate into the causes Of the
Pending its report the men would re-
turn to work.
The leaders of the strike" said the
informant Of The Sun, who must not
be COMPOUNDED. however. with the leaders
OF the trade unions. are striving to
keep the men out, insisting that the re-
moval OF the so-called embargo, which
Is aimed at restrictions on the number
Of skilled workmen employed by indi-
vidual employers. must first be repealed
by the Ministry Of Munitions.
"A majority OF the men would return
gladly. Although they consider that the
Government has been at fault. they can
not afford. they tell me. to stay out. As
a matter Of fact. they were heartily sick
Of the strike before the Government an
nounced the utimatum. A great deal
depends now upon whether the leaders
can keep the men together. An authority
IN Closest tOuCn WIN HI inc pTlnClIHl
firms told me the leaders were trying TO
stampede the men into this strike.
unfortunately they are extremists
ard out for trouble. They started an
agitation which was absolutely unjusti-
fable and now they are endeavorin8 by
every means in their power to keep the
struggle going. in order to save their own
skins.
From the very commencement it has
been a leaders strike, nothing else. The
published statements Of the numbers OF
men who have left work in Birmingham
are grossly exaggerated. No more than
10000 have been out. and some OF these
have returned. The leaders want TO
make out that this is a national move
ment. whereas the truth Is ii is only
half hearted. or a quarter hearted In
Coventry three-fourths OF the munitions
workers are not affected by the strike
and not one of the 400 factories had to
close"
