AGAIN ASKS PEOPLE
TO RETURN FLOUR
FEDERAL FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
ISSUES APPEAL, BACKED BY
THREAT.

Spokane. May 24.-SO critical has
the wheat situation become and so
great is the necessity for shipment of
every possible pound of -four to the
Allies that Federal Food Administra-
tor Hebberd issued another appeal to
the people of Washington to return
all -four above actual minimum
household requirements.
Back of the appeal, however, is a
threat Of the food administrator to
invoke the power of the food control
law against all hoarders of -four and
all penny-patriots who persist in ex-
ceedinlg -four allotments to the detri-
ment of the government.
After conducting an Investigation
covering several weeks. food admin
istratiOn officials have determined
, that large quantities of -four are
being boarded in cities, towns and in
the country communities of the state.
1t is imperative that this -four be re-
turned within the next 80 days for
the use of the military and naval
forces and for the Allies, according
to Mr.. Hebberd.
Unless an immediate response to
the appeal is shown, confiscation of
boarded -four, followed by arrests
and prosecution, will result, it was
declared at food administration head.
quarters. The federal food law pre-
scribes a fine for boarding of $1,000,
imprisonment for two years, or both.
Libeling of boarded -four and prose-
cutions have already been started in
Seattle in the federal courts.
Flour is to be returned to the
grocer from whom it was purchased,
who will give purchase price allow
ance for it.

From a journal kept by a then
resident, We have been kindly per-
mitted to extract the following:
THE place is situated near the
head of Budd's inlet. on a low fiat,
and the tide rises and falls nearly rs
feet. On the margin of the Sound
clans and mussels abound and ducks
Of diverse varieties are most numer-
Gus. The largest house by far in the
place is now occupied by the Custom
House. It is large two -storied
house. not far from the extreme
northernmost point. and on paper is
designated as being near First and
Main STREETS, though the streets to a
great extent exist in the magma

the pioneer American settler on
Puget Sound, who has little room
percelled off for store. though the
stock is slim. and a still smaller
apartment dedicated as postoffice.
AS the Colonel repudiates being

itself, or rather some half a dozen or
more having been sworn in as depu-
ties, help themselves and few who
come here to inquire for letters.

fitted for the Custom House and resi-
dence of the collector and his family,
for which Colonel Simmons receives
the snug littel rent of $50 a month.
Dozen Cabins in Town.
There are about a dozen one
story frame cabins, of primitive arch
itecture, covered with split cedar
siding, differentiated but healthy.
They answer the purpose we'll, for
the winters are mild, though moist.
Snow and ice are comparatively un-
known, but it rains on short notice
and without any difficulty.
There are some 20 or more Indian
huts at a short distance from the
Custom House. The Indians are Of
the D'Wamish tribe. filthy, fish,
eating, flat-headed set, who live with
out much effort and are content with
such clothing and conveniences as
they can purchase or obtain with the
little they earn by occasional labor
for the whites and the trifle they re-
ceive for fish, ducks. venison. oys-
ters, berries, etc.

now in France. The latter 1t Will be
remembered was on the Tuscania when
that boat was sunk of the coast OF

drowning. In his letter, which is dated
July 2I, the young soldier says:

good toward which she Is directing her

farmer girls with no previous train

emotional sympathy.
MANY Americans are returning from

It seems hard for them TO realize that
they will never be restored to their
former condition, and yet through II

their lavish expenditures, have raised

mentions other places that he would

5000 HUNS CAPTURED;
MAGIN EXTENDS HIS LINE

| still planning for a tremendous, des-
perate drive this autumn or the man
power crisis is even more serious than
/ appearances indicate.
Military writers are inclined toward
the former belief. They expect the
Germans TO attempt a big drive this
fall unless Foch, meanwhile keeps
them too busy.
The actions OF the Germans in the last
few weeks since the failurs OF the
Marne operation shows their desire to
save their man power even at the ex-
pense of losing territory. Although
they are putting up a sLlff fight at vital
points on the whole front they are sur
rendering territory more freely than
heretofore. Likewise, they are reducing
salients and shortening their fronts
whenever 1t is possible.
There are other indications that the
enemy intends 10 nurse along as much
OF his reserves as possible and then
at the first seemingly favorable OppOr-
tunlty will hurl in every ounce Of his
power in a gigantic gamble.
The American artillery heavily
pounded Bazoches, three miles west Of

gas were poured In on the Germans in

leans, realize this will not be the fight
