RESTRICTIONS PLACED
ON MUNICIPAL BONDS
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD TO
PASS ON ALL ISSUES OVER
100000.

Washington, Feb. 23.-,Every NUM-
eipal bond issue of 100000 or more
hereafter will be passed on by the
fderal reserve boards capital issues
committee before being floated. By
reducing today from s250,O00 to $780,
600 the minimum size of municipal
issues which it will consider, the
COMMITTEES extended its influence
over several times more municipal
bond issues.
The committee found recently,
after analysis that the pending is
sues of the great bulk bonds are
offered in blocks of less than $780,
900 and therefore we're not subject
to the committees restrictive influ-
ences.
Federal agents of the twelve re
serve banks who also act as ch2!r-
men of the subcommittee of the
capital issues body in their respec-
tive districts will come to Washing
ton for a conference Tuesday and
general operatio nof the inew vol
untary system of regulation of se~
eurities issues will be discussed.
In a circular of Instructions to ap-
plicauts for the committees approval
on contemplated issues. the commit
tee and it's advisory body headed by
Allen Forbes explained the purposes
and circumstances surrounding each
issue must be described fully in the
application. This is particularly nee
essary If funds are needed for ex-
tended or improvements relating di-
rectly to war production or TO fulfill
ment of any state or government re-
quirement
For state, county or municipal is
sues the committee requires copy OF
the bill, reason or ordinance under
which they were authorized. The
committee announced today that it is
working with the federal bureau OF
public roads in determining what
contemplated road construction this
year is necessary for urgent mill
tary or economic reasons.

SOUTH is WARNED
TO FEED ITSELF
WILL BE LITTLE FooDSTUFFs S
B TO SPARE FROM GRAIN PRO.
0UclNo STATES.

Washinton, Feb. 23.-an a state
ment issued tonight Clarence Ousley,
assistant secretary of agriculture.
warns that If the south neglects this
year to provide her own food and
feed she is likely To suffer serious
priyation and will put a burden upon
the nation which may prolong the
war and even imperil victory in the
war.
Il am not expressing an alarmist
personal opinion" the statement says.
u am seeing through the eyes of as
agricultural colleges and of county
agents in nearly every agricultural
county
THE plain, hard truth is that with
4O,O00,000 people withdrawn from
productive industries it is not hu-
manly possible for production to ex-
ceed normal demand. The question
is whether production can equal ne
cessitous demand.
England, France and Italy must be
sustained or their populations cannot
stand the strain. The chief cause
.of Russia's collapse was hunger.
Secretary McAdoo has given
warning that transportation may be
lacking in 1918 to haul food and feed
to states and communities that dc
not provide for themselves. The
prime question for the farmer is no
whaf product will bring the high
est price, but what products will in
sure food for his family and feed foi
his livestock, and the answer is: A
Vegetable garden, milk COW, a brooC
sow, a poultry flock, ample corn, oats
| penuats, etc. and then as much cot
! ton or tobacco as he can cultivate
well.
For the south to plunge on cottor
or tobacco and depend upon the crr
belt for bread and meat will be fol
the south to engage in a gamble
which may cause priyation to its peo-
pie and disaster to the nation.
'My whole life has been spent in
the south. l know the southern
farmer. lie will do his duty as he
sees 1t. ! am appealing to every man
in the south to make known these
facts and i shall have no doubt OF the
results"

HOOVER PROMISED
MOVEMENT OF FOOD
PRACTICALLY ALL FOOD OF
FERED FOR MOVEMENT BY
FARMERS AND FOOD DEAL.
ERs is BEING TRANS
PORTED.

! Washington. Feb 23.-Prompt ad

the couatry's food needs as Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover may demonstrate
them was promised today by Director
General McAdoo. who reiterated mis-
statement Of yesterday that prac-
ticaIly all food offered for movement
by farmers and food dealers is being
transported
Railroad administration officials
pointed to the report that virtually
no ships in New York harbor were
held up by lack of food careoes as
proof that the movement Of foodstuffs
is satisfactory. Some ships are de-
tanned at South Atlantic ports and
Gulf ports. they said, because grain

Ing cars as rapidly as had been ex-
pected
Reports to the food administration
continued TO tell of shortaee of cars,
however particularly for the trans
portation OF grain products eastward
from western primary markets The
railroad administration officials Of
lered the explanation that if this con
dition exists it must be caused by
failure of shippers or the food ad-
mnistration to make specific requests
for cars. The danser of a serious food
shortage in the east to which Mr.
Hoover referred two days ago in his
statement which precipitated extern
sive public discussion of the relations
between high prices of food in the
east and Yailroad transportation was
emphasized less today by the food
administrator
Replying to a letter from Mr. Nc
Adoo promising to provide for every
food shipment to which his attention
was called by the food administra-
tion Mr. Hoover said:
"I am certain that this assurance

ing apprehension in the country of
the last few weeks

Turke Have Begun an offensive
Against the Russians in Armenia
Before the Expiration Of ArmistIce
and Are Drawing the Russians East

New York, Feb. 23.--With the Ger
mans continuing their march into
Russia so far virtually unopposed, the
eventuality of their pushing on to
Petrograd before consentIng to re-
open peace negotiations with the Boil
sheviki is evidently being given ear
nest consideration in the Russian
capital. Guerilla warfare has been
indicated as the probable method of
the Russians in the offense as the
Germans press across country. but
the indications are that a stiffer de-
ense of the capital Is contemplated.
Meanwhile the entente embassies In
Petrograd are reported In sympathetic
mood with Russias present plight and
ready by such means as are In their
power to give assistance to her peo-
pie in fighting off the advancing en-
emy. The embassies also are shown
by the official advices to Washing
ton to hae decided to accept the Boil
sheVlh government from Petrograd
should the Germans force them.
Already headquarters of the Rus
sian western army has been re-
moved to Smolensk, more than fifty
miles further into the interior than

miles east of M.nsk, in this sector.
To the north they have reached Walk.

In Turkish Armenia tho Turks
have begun an offensive which is
declared to have been started before
