Rumor Says Chief Dunn to Quit
And Civilian Named in His Place

Where do the political rumors
come from? Is there political
"Medicine Hat. a place where these
rumors gain momentum in something
the same manner that the weather is
generally believed to have its origin
in Medicine Hat?
For several weeks little bee has
been buzzing in and around the city
hall with a story that "the democrats"
intended to install a civilian chief of
police in the event that Chief Dunn
should resign.
The political predictions of this
civilian incumbent would be demo-
cratic, the little bee said.
Chief Lunn has been i'll for several
months. He has been in his office
three times since he was able to leave
the hospital where he was attended
for his last serious illness. lie is not
yet able TO attend to his work, but
declared that he is gaining strength

among men in the lumber camps

to have been called by the Industrial
Workers of the World for Feb.
ruary !.
To protect the property OF the lunf
Der companies and adjacent property,
50 additional Fourth regiment guards
of Duluth will arrive here today to be
detailed to towns along the range.
The trouble is said to have begun
when lumber companies enforced OBJ
servance of the Hoover mandate OF
meatless and wheatless day.
The lumberjacks are reported to
have objected, declaring they wanted
meat and -four every day. - '-''' -

PEACE TALK EVERYWHERE,
tBy Associated Prcss.)
Discussion of war aims--or peace
terms--is claiming public attention al.
most to the total exclusion Of mill
tary affairs. Active operations are in
progress nowhere except in the way
Of the never-ceasing cannonading
along the various fronts and necessary
accommodating activities.
Echoes Of the speeches delivered by
Count Won Hertling, the German i'm
perial chancellor, and Count Czernin,
the Austro=Hungarian foreign minis
ter, in reply to Premier Lloyd George
and President Wilson, are plentifully
found in the comment of the press at
home and abroad. ..
The prevailing view of the London
press is that Germany has adopted
what amounts to an uncompromising
attitude. desiring to listen to no peace
terms but its own, while Austria, all
though more conciliatory because of
internal conditions, nevertheless is un-
remittingly faithful to its German
ally.
A representative French view Is
that the central powers are revealed
in the speeches as trying to drive
wedge between the allied nations by
attempting to open separate debates
with each, and that Chancellor Won
Hertlng, in particular, has made an
effort to eliminate the question of
Alsace- from President Will
sons peace program.
Some of the foreign commentators
attach considerable Importance to the
invitation of the German chancellor
for continued conversations on the
subject of peace terms.
One striking view is that of an inn
portant London newspaper, which re-
CARDS the two speeches as com.
bined diplomatic offensive against the
entente allies, with the attack chiefly
aimed at President Wilson.

SEND WILSON TELEGRAM. ="
Mr.. Hene. told the commission that
he would show later that joint tele-
gram recently sent to the president by
a number of Detroit bankers protest
ing that the investigation was disturb
ing economic conditions had been in
spired by the packers.
CONTROL STREET RAILWAYS.
Statements by Francis J.. Heney that
Armour & Co. had been found to con-
troll the street railways of Kansas
City was the first indication that the
financial ramiffcations of the packers
touched many street railway systems.
THE influence of the packers in
Kansas City is more widespread than
in any other city in the United States
excepting Chicago Mr.. Heney said
Eviden of the packers influence in
the tin industry also has been discov-
cred. Mr.. Hcney told Commissioner
Murdock, who asked about that phase
of the inquiry, after remarking that the
packers were broadening their activi-
ties in the production-of canned food.
Banks Consult Packers.
Control by the packers over fnan-
cial institutions has reached such an
extent, Mr.. Heney said, that recently
when an independent packer asked for
loan from one of the big New York
banks the bank wrote Thomas Z. Will
son OF Wilson & Co. asking if the
credit should be extended.
Division of live stock buying
throughout the United States by the
five big packers, which would have
the effect Of limiting competition be-
tween them, was charged by Mr..

APPEAL TO HOUSEWIVES.
The presidents proclamation be-
sides calling on the public for fur
Cher reduction in consumption makes
a renewed appeal to the housewife to
stop the waste of food. 1t asks gen.
eral observance of the food admins
traitors rules and calls on the people
in addition to hold down their con-
sumption of sugar.
There is no forcible limitation of
purchasesby householders, and in this
connection the food administrator
says:
"The effectiveness of these rules
is dependent solely upon the good will
of and the willingness of the American
people to sacrifice. In the last an
alysis the success or failure of any
such plan as outlined rests with the
people. We have but one police force
the American woman and we de-
pend upon her to see that these rules
are observed"
Of the nearly 100000 household
ers in the United States about 49,
100000 have signed the food admin
istration's pledge to follow its food
conservation directions, and food adj
ministl alton officials believe that the
regulations will be generally OBJ
served. .,,..l, .,...,-,.s,.s.a~. -. g.
Immense Saving Expected.
= Mr.. Hoover estimates that observ-
ance of the regulations will save
about 100000 bushels of wheat a
month for shipment abroad. : This
will enable the allies to subsist, al
though their ration will be short. All
of the allies and the central powers
as we'll are on war breao diet now.
Most of the allies are mixing about
40 per cent of corn meal and other
substitutes with wheat flour in all
bread baked, and all of Europe is
milling large amount of the whole
wheat grain. Both France and Eng
land have recently cut down the
bread ration by almost half.
If the voluntary ration;ng system
fails in this country, then it "is up to
congress. We have no powers under
phe law to compel people to eat less
said Mr.. Hoover today.
The food administration tonight is
sued this statement:
The following is summary of the
rules that have been formulated by
the United States food administra-
ton with the approval of the presi-
dent, in order to effect the further
conservation in foodstuhs necessary
to support the allies and Our own
armed forces over the next four
months. These rules are effective
from the morning of Monday, Janu-
ary 28.
Need of Cooperation.
"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 or failure of any
plan such as here outlined rests with
the people. We are dependent upon
cooperation Of the trades.
I'VE have but one police torce-the
American wonderland we depend
upon her to organize in cooperation
with our state and local food admin
istrators to see that these rules are
obeyed by that small minority who
NAV fail. Part Of the rules will be en-
forced under the Lever food act, 9th
er parts are voluntary and will de-
pend for their success upon public
sentiment. Our experience hitherto
has shown a willingness OF the vast
majority of consumers and full CO.
