onslaught of Gcrmanys armies has
boon cut because of the shortage of
wheat has led the food administration

boarding in this country.
Wherever there is evidence to sup
port a suspicion that the Withholding

come of the war is due to disloyalty
or profiteering, it was said tonight,
prompt action will be taken.
Want Careful Investigation.
State administrators have been re-
minded that the food law authorizes
the requistioning of grain in the ma
tional emergency and have been ask
ed to be diligent in their investigation
of cases of alleged boarding. They
will forward the evidence obtained to
Washington, where steps will be
taken as the individual cases warrant

Must Cut Consumption.
AS only wheat and barley can be
shipped after April !, the public is
being asked to cut its consumption of
wheat to fifty per cent of normal and
even that sacrifice barely will stretch
supplies to meet demand, unless ev-
