CIRCULAR
ISSUED IN GERMANY
ATTACKS RULERS

A copy of a broadside forbidden in
Germany has reached the commit
tee on public information. 1t is a
single sheet of foolscap size, printed
Oh both sides, and bears a coarsely
executed woodcut representing a sol
der in arms, a workman in blouse,
and a woman showing a rock off a
precipice, beneath which is seen the
head and bust of the emperor
crowned and sceptered and NOUS
tached, looking up in terror at the
fate impending. The last paragraph
OF the text is as follows:
Men of toll, awake from slumber.
Recognize thy growing might
All the wheels will lose their motion
Without thy strong arms devotion.
Down with the war! Down with the
government!
Peace! Freedom, Bread"

''NICTORY" BREAD MUST
CONTAIN NOT MORE THAN
80 PER CENT WHEAT FLOUR

Any baker will be permitted to ad-
vertise his product as victory" bread
if it contains not more than 80 per
cent wheat flour. No stipulation is
made as to what ingredients shall
compose the other 90 per cent, so
long as they are selected from the
list recommended by the Food Ad-
ministration. which includes corn
flour and corn meal, barley flour,
oat meal, rice and rice flour, potato
flour, etc.
Until March 3 rye flour may be
used in making victory bread. After
that date it will be placed on the
same basis as wheat, as rye flour is
now being shipped to the allies.
Bread made of graham or whole
wheat flour may be termed victory
bread.

GEN. CROZIER DISCUSSES
AGE LIMIT ENLARGEMENT
OF SELECTIVE LAW

Discussing enlargement of the age
limit for selective military service,
Provost Marshall General Crozier
said:
"A pronounced majority of the
boards favor some enlargement, but
there is great diversity of opinion as
to the proper age limit. Nineteen
and 80 are perhaps the limits most
frequently suggested but some
recommend 40 or as years as the up
per limit. There is a distinctly
stronger demand for raising the max
imum age than for lowering the min
imum."
Gen. CroZier estimates that
1,3S9,3SS acceptable single men
would be made available by an in
crease in the age limit to include men
up to 45 years. The estimate places
the number of acceptable single m en-
between IS and 81 years at 1916
2S3. The number of probably ac-
ceptable single men already regis
tered but not called is 1921, S45. Ac-
cording to these figures, should the
age limit be enlarged to include men
of from Is years to As years, inclu-
sive, 4,257,516 physically and other
wise qualified unmarried men would
be open for call to service.
