Philip Scheidemann, president of
the Social Democratic party, agreed
with the Governments view, but
complained because the submarine
warfare had failed and had drawn
the United States into the struggle.
He regretted that Chancellor Won
HertIing had not regarded President
Wilson's message as an honest dec
laration tending toward peace, and
also because the Chancellor had de-
clared so definitely that AIsace-Lor-
raine must remain in Germany's pos
session.
Scheidemann thought that once
the question of Belgium were settled
the problem of Alsace-Lorraine
would be solved.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The food
administration tonight issued this
statement, containing rules for vol
untary war rationing:
''The following is summary of
the rules that have been formulated
by the United States Food Admins
tration, with the approval of the
President, in order to effect the fur
ther conservation in foodstuffs neces-
sary to support the allies and our
own armed forces over the next four
months. These rules are effective
28.
"The effectiveness of these rules is
dependent solely upon the good will
of and the willingness to sacrifice by
the American people. In the last
analysis the success o. failure of
any plan such as that here outlined
rests with the people. 1t is depend
ent upon the cooperation of the
trades. We have but one police
force-the American woman--and
we depend upon her to organize in
cooperation with our State and local
food administrators to see that these
rules are obeyed by the small mi
nority who may fail. Part of the
rules will be enforced under the
Lever Food Act, other parts are vol
untary and will depend for their
success upon public sentiment.
"Our experience hitherto has
shown willingness of the vast ma
jority of consumers, and a full CO
operation of the trades, to undergo
the self-sacrifice necessary to render
such measures effective. The small
minority who refuse to cooperate
should not be allowed to defeat the
nations necessities.
"First-As their part in reducing
the consumption of wheat -four, the
consumers of the country are called
upon, in purchasing such flour, to
buy at the same time an equal
weight of the other cereals (corn
meal, corn starch, corn flour, hom-
my, corn grits, barley flour, rice, rice
-four, oatmeal, rolled oats, buck
wheat -four, potato -four, sweet po-
tato -four, soya bean -four and
feterita fiours and meals). The
housewife may use these products
separately in making bread, cakes
and pastry, or mix them as she
thinks best The retailers are to sell
wheat -four only with an equal
weight of these other cereals.
BUY. .oNLY VICTORY BREAD.
"Second-Consumers will be able
to obtain mixed cereal bread from
their bakers, who will be required
under the license.regulations to mix
five per cent of other cereals with
their wheat -four, both in bread and
rolls, and will be required gradually
to increase this substitution until,
beginning Feb. "a, minimum of 90
per cent of such cereals Is to be
used The food administration
strongly urges upon consumers the
buying OF this bread, which will be
known as Victory bread, and will
contain not less than 20 per cent OF
cereals other than wheat. Graham
or whole wheat bread will also be
given that name, because. containing
as they do rs per cent more of the
wheat grain than ordinary white
bread. they too win serve the pur-
pose of saving wheat flour. II you
bake bread at home. use wheat sub
stitutes: if you buy it. buy only
Victory bread.

This instruction will be valuable to
anyone owning a tractor, an auto

Grated machinery.
Some twenty or more persons were
on hand this week to attend the
school, Notwithstanding the severe
winter weather. But the representa-

not coming here for that purpose.

Food Administrator Asks Represen-

Dr. H. A. Morgan, Federal Food
Administrator for Tennessee, has adj
dressed a letter to the various coun-
ty administrators acquainting them
with the sentiment expressed by
food admins rators of Southern
States in conference held at New
Orleans regarding heavy taxation Of
dogs as a protection to the sheep
raisers. DR.. Morgan asks the adj
ministrators that, in the event they,
too, approve of this taxation, they
write their Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress urging that
such a measure be adopted. DR..
Morgan's letter follows:

WHERE ECONOMY WILL STRIKE

Two years ago just after the election the Capital
Journal called attention the fact that most of the
bers Of the legislature had been elected with slogan of
economy and reform There were abundant promises
made by most of the members and they were doubt
made with the honest intention of keeping them The
trouble that the promises were made to constituents
and the business of legislatng done among them
selves The new members, at least did not know what
they up against and the proverb that man proposes
and God dposes be twisted to read that public needs
dispose At the time the Journal pointed out the prob
ability of the legislators when they to passing the
innumerable bills for roads, for militia and countless
Others making big in the aggregate, would find
trouble in making their promises square with the de-
mands of the public for this that and the other thing
along with the funds for carrying the states business
It was suggested then that when every possible place
where economy could be practiced bad been searched it
would be found there chance to cent for the
state except by reducing the pay OF stenOgrapher clerks
ianitors and care takers That the only persons who
could get along with less pay than they had been getting
where those who being paid the least The prediction
of the Journal was realized to the full for those the
only salaries reduced. However, enough was saved by
this reduction to permit the board of regents OF the o. A.
c. to increase the salary of the college president which
was already the highest paid any person in the state en-
ploy by $400 year. The prediction is made again that
that when the session about to close will be found that
the demands on the state large that with the six
per cent law in the way the legislators will find there is
such shortage of money that the salaries OF the senog
raphers and others receiving less than $lOO month will
have to be shaved to meet the deficit So far the egs
lators Of this county are concerned the election is over
as the republican nominees have opposition They are
all fair minded men, and will doubt do their duty as
they see it. At the time the employees of the state
who draw wages instead of salaries should just make al
note of them and also Of where they begin to practice
economy and on what class of salaries.

THE ARMY OF MERCY

The second drive for raising money for the Red Cross
began yesterday and the intention of those in charge
have the full quota subscribed, today was realized
There is no cause that appeals to all as that of
the Red Cross Its work is exactly contrary to that of
the armies for their object is to destroy while the Red
Cross devoes all its energies to saving life and caring for
the wounded sick and suffering everywhere 1t is not
only the battle fields of boodstained Europe that sees
It's efforts but wherever there is suffering and want
there the flag of the Red Cross floats and there its gal
liant soldiers serve as bravey and useshy as the most
heroic soldier under But short time ago an earth
quake in Guatemala left hundreds homeless and the wires
had sooner brought the to America than money
was sent to relieve far possible the pinch of hunger
and following this the Red Cross soldiers were soon on
the field looking after the unfortunates The famine in
China, the unfortunate Armenians the Serbans all have
been recipients of benefits at the hands of the Red Cross
Il up to us to help this grand little army fight the bat
ties of humanity and to realize the certain truth that we
are our brothers keeper No matter what your belief
about war you give to this for it is the cause

There are many doctors who treat

This is particularly the case at

relief.
