Congressional investigation OF Sian
derous charges against the character
OF American troops abroad. alleged 10
have been circulated by the Anti
Saloon League, was proposed today IN
a resolution by Representative Carey
Bills to amend the food law SO as TO
empower the food administration to
compel observance OF wheatless and
meatless days or any other measures
1t prcscrlbes were introduced today by
Representative Lever and Senator
Pomcrcnc acting for the admin!stra-
ton.
Mr. Lever explained the bill in the
following statement:
The food situation the world over
Is acute and demands upon Nh are
growing each day. We must strike at
the waste evil. Tho administration has
undertaken to do this thru voluntary
agreement and has succeeded wonder
fully well. but there Is n percentage or
ecalc!trants who constitute the fly IN
the ointment OF the whole situation and
these We have not been able to reach
by appeals to their patriotism.
The bill Is especially aimed AT
hotels. restaurants and dining cars. In
such establishments I would think fully
so per cent Of the food is consumed
and it Is in such places that we find
greatest waste. 1t should be in the
hands Of the food administration to fix
the portions to be served to any ono
person. There is no excuse for any
hotel and other establishment to carry
on a bill OF fare for serving to any
one person a steak costing So or SO;
the waste Is too great.
1T Is not fair for the man on the
street who can not afford a steak at 50
cents. for the gormandic rich to waste
enough in one meal to feed a whole
family Of poor

Amsterdam, Jan. 15.-Evidences OF
the strained situation as regards the
war aims continue to appear in the
German newspapers. The Leipzig Volks
Zeitung says meeting Of the annexa-
zionist fatherland party at Jena was
broken<up by the Independent social
lists, who after passing a vote for a
general peace by understanding"
threw out tho members Of the father
land party.
While pan German petitions and res
olutions are being rushed to the en-
peror by militarists, other interests are
active. This was instanced by a meet
ing at Frankfort on Sunday of the free
citizens committee, which adopted a
resolution that a lasting peace would
be possible on basis Of policy of
conciliation in. the sense Of the peace
resolution adopted by the reichstag.
At this meeting DR.. Bernhart Dern-
burg, former secretary Of state for the
colonies, said that IL the fatherland
party won the war would be lost. He
Irhiected annexations and cash indem-
fnities and declared Germany was
1powerless to enforce long-term pay
ments by installments from America
and E\rland.
SAnl~xations in the east, he asserted,
would be Z source of constant danger,
as they would disturb Russia. He also
urged disarmament.
A Munich newspaper attacks the
fatherland party and supports the at
titude taken by President Wilson in
respect to recognition for the demands
for autonomy Of the Slav population of
the central empires.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Ambassador
Naon, of Argentina, who recently plac-
ed his resignation in the hands Of the
Beunos Aires foreign office, will sail

warded at about the time Of the last
disclosure Of the he>Luxburg telegrams,
was OF a conditional character. 1t was

friends felt diplomatic relations should
be severed.

detectives yesterday arrested Lieuten-

fSund on hi,ll from t'sg1Eain Boy Ed.
embassy In Washington showing that
he had received $4,000 for spy work.
Spoorman came to America on the
German submarine U-53, which caused
so much excitement when she turned
up suddenly at Newport in 1916, be-
fore the United States was at war with
Germany. The object Of the submar-
ines visit at the time was not dis
closed.
1t was supposed that she merely
brought messages for Ambassador Won
Bernstorff. Her commander. Captain
Hans Rose. and some Of his officers
went ashore at Newport. 1t was not
known that she landed any persons to
remain.
The capture OF Spoorman reveals
now that she had put ashore at least
one spy.

the magazine is reported as part OF
widespread plot.
Eight confederates are known and
will be rounded up. A wealthy citi-
zen of Baltimore is said to be con-
cerned.
