SUBMARINES A FAILURE
Documents From German Arch
ives Show Such Is Case.
Six Months Was Predicted As Plenty
of Time To Put Allies Out
of Business.

Amsterdam, Feb. 4.-Showing the
steps which led to the adoption by
Germany of her unrestricted sub
marine campaign, the Handelsblad
has published a series of documents
obtained recently from German ar
chives.
Two developments coming stimuli
taneously prove the failure of Ger
many's plans:
First-Revelation of hitherto secret
German documents show that the kali
ser was promised defeat of the AL
lies I'm six months and that the
United States would look on with
out acting.
Second-Sir Eric Campbell Geddes,
first lord of the British admiralty, an
nounced that the U-boat sinkings
have now been reduced to a point
below that when the Unrestricted
warfare was begun a year ago.
At the close of 1915 the German
admiralty prepared memorandum to
show that the unrestricted U-boat war
fare would compel Great Britain to
sue for peace within six months. The
wording OF this memorandum indL
Gates that the admiralty already had
decided to adopt this intensified war
fare, but desired TO convince the en-
pcror, the imperial chancellor and
the foreign office of the certainty of
the good results on economic and
general grounds rather than merely
on military grounds.

Federal Food Administration Or.
der Affects All Public Eating
Places.
TO SAVE WHEAT FLOUR
Move Intended to Save Supplies Anc
Encourage Use Of Other
Grains-Doubie Rations
of Substitutes Allowed.

ST Paul, Feb. 6.-To save wheat
floul and encourage use of its substi-
tutes the food administration has or
dered a two-ounce wheat bread ra
tion for patrons of hotels, cafes, res
taurants and dining cars, and decreed,
as an alternative, permission to
serve as high as double that ration
of substitute alone-corn, oatmeal
or bran The wheat bread allowance
is said to be about that now observed
i'm England.
Washington .ad7ices to this effect
were received by Walter A. Pocock,
ST. Paul, Minnesota representative
for the food administration. Mr..
Pocock at once wired chairmen of
MS Is district committees instructing
them to pass the word to all places
in their jurisdiction.
Double Weight Of Substitute.
Not more than two ounces of wheat
bread may be served to any one at
any meal, according to the regula-
ton. Furthermore, when rolls or
lTOm NoIH, OdtIHGdl OT
bran are served in place of wheat
bread, and when only one such sub
stitute is served, the portion may he
four ounces. Rolls may not weigh
more than one ounce each.
The dispatches sent from Washing
ton to hotel representatives in all
states directed them also to see that
immediate observance was given to
hotels to Monday and Wednesday as
wheatless days, Tuesday as a meat.
less day, Saturday as porkless
day and to having one wheatless and
one meatless meal every day.
Rye In Class With Wheat.
A. d. Wilson, federal food admins
traitor for Minnesota. announces that
rye had been placed by the govern.
ment in the same class with wheat
and hereafter rye flour or meal
should not be sold except with an
equal weight of recognized whea,
! substitutes. In other words, the lat
:er now become wheat-and-rye substi
tutes. Rye has joined the class oi

REPORT OF RED CROSS
ORGANIZATION Accounts for Money
Entrusted to 1t.
To Date s7e,45o,727.35 Has Been Ap.
propriated for Relief Work.
Criticism Answered.

Washington, Feb. 6.-What the
American Red Cross has done with the
vast sums of money entrusted to 1t by
the people of the United States. Is
stated in detail in a report just issued
by the national headquarters. To date
s79,450,727 30 has been appropriated
for relief work In this country and
abroad.
s44,657,7s5 for Foreign Relief.
For foreign relief $44.65T,795 has
been appropriated as follows: France.
S30,519,259.60; Belgium, s1,999,e31;
Russia, S751,s40.S7; Roumania, ST.
617, 1886; Italy, $3,14s 016; Serbia,
ss71, ,1S06; Great Britain, $1,703,642;
other foreign countries, $2,536,6i2;
American soldiers who may be taken
prisoner, $343,627.
The foregoing appropriations are
from the time the United States en-
tered the war until April 80, 1918.
For the United States the Red Cross
has appropriated $2,612,532.60 and
the reason this sum is not larger is
because the government provides
nearly everything our army and navy
needs, and besides, there Is no civil
ian distress I'm this country of any
considerable proportions.
Variety of Work Done.
The great variety of the military
and civilian relief work being done by
the Red Cross is indicated briefly in
the following list: canteens that af-
ford food, baths and sleeping quar-.
ters for men at the front; rest sta
tions and recreation centers for sol
diers in transit and at port of ar
rival in France; care of destitute
children; furnishing supplies to 1000
hospitals teaching mutilated soldiers
new trades, reconstruction OF villag-
es; bringing together families of sol
diers scattered by the war; farms for
convalescent soldiers; sanitariums
For tubercular and other patients
food, clothing. medicine, and shelter
for the homeless and destitute; and
/ other activities too numerous to men.
tion.
Answer Malicious Rumors.
u is stated by the national war
council that all salaries and admins.
trative expenses are paid out Of mem.
bership dues, so that every penny Civ.
en- to the Red Cross war fund has
been spent for relief. This answers
the rumors that have been circulated
about the expenses Of operation.

MAY REDUCE IMPORTS
Administration Considering Drastic
Orders to Obtain More
Shipping.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The admins
ration has under consideration a so
per cent reduction in the volume OF
Imports as one of the measures for
making available ships transporting
troops to France.
Overseas transportation is recog-
aized as the real problem facing the
government in its effort to put on
lilo firing line a big fighting force
and keep 1t in supplies. Estimates
Of the amount of tonnage necessary

way from four to seven tons In con-
linuous service for each man en-.

n all services about 1900, 900 tons of
shipping, Of which probably one-fourth

IL negotiations now under way with
Neutral countries are concluded sue

Berlin, Feb. 6.--As the result of
trial by extraordinary court martial
ON the charge of melting to higl
treason, resistance to public author
ity and transgression against partici-
patton in the general strike, Wilhelm
Dittman, the radical socialist deputy,

Strike Believed at End.
London, Feb. 6.-From the meager
accounts of the economic situation
in Germany reaching neutral coun-
tries-and they are meager to a de-
gree-the general strike that pre-
vailed throughout the empire last
week has virtually ended. Apparently
the hard hand of the military author
tiles had much to do with the break
ing up of the movement on the part
of the workers, whose full energies
are required by the government at
the present moment to aid in the
prosecution of the war, for even their
leaders are reported to have advised
the men to return to their work
The proclamation of martial law in
Berlin and throughout Brandenburg
by the military commander evidently
nad its full effect, for with the threat
of summary court martial and execu
tion staring them in the face, the
strikers carried out no disorders in
Berlin Saturday, like those earlier In
the week.
Industrial Centers Quiet.
Industrial quietude now seems &
prevade the entire country except al
Jena, capital of the Duchy of SAKE
Weimar, where new trouble has aris
en-. II is not improbable that the
strike here has been engendered by
sympathetic feelings on the part o
the numerous students In this edu
cational center.
That under the surface the politiia
waters in Germany and Australian
gary still are disturbed is indicated
by the announcement that the Ger
man and Austro-Hungarian foreign
ministers and General Won Ludendorff
chief of the German war lords, mex
to Won Hindenburg, are to meet Il
close conference in an endeavor t
bring about an amelioration of tai
tense economic and political ques
tions affecting Germany and the dua
monarchy and doubtless lay pans t
combat the peace views and desire
of large parts of the populations il
the two countries.

the Navy is assured of enough trans.
port facilities to make sure that there
will be 100000 American troops In
France early this year, as was stated
by Secretary Baker recently before
the Senate Military committee.
He made the statement when in
formed that Secretary Bakers fore
cast for the number of men to be
sent abroad was challenged In the
Senate by Senator Hitchcock. He
would not say whether the navy de-
partment's outlook for ships was such
as to warrant the expectation OF hav-
ing 100000 more men In France by
the end of 1918.
