SUBSTITUTE. FOR COTTON.
Toxic Reports the Discovery in the
Use Of SeaWeeds.
nee of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
TOXIC, February 19.-The discovery
Of a practical substitute for cotton
was announced today at the annual
meeting Of the Federation OF Marine
Industries. The announcement was
made by K. Hamadas vice president of
the lower house of parliament, who
said that the discovery was made in
December in the Toxic fiber laboratory
in the course Of experiments on sea
weeds.
The variety of seaweed is known as
sugamo, or como. guma. 1t abounds in
japanese waters and hitherto has been
used as fertilizer. The method of ex-
tracing the fiber is simply to boil the
weeds In 1ye and then, in. water mixed
with rice bran. after which the released
fiber is bleached. The whole process is
SO simple as to be easily possible for
fishermen and farmers living near the
sea. 't.-s.'
Mr.. Hamada, claims that the fiber in
every respect is better than cotton.

WILSON URGES. WHEAT
CUT IN HOUSEHOLDS

Clarence r. Wilson, federal food ad-
| mtnistrator for the District of Colum-
bia, issued a statement last night IN
which he appeals to the citizens OF
Washington to. reduce their consump-
tion Of wheat to one and one-haif
pounds a week a person. Tho appeal
follows
'It is a military necessity to furnish
tions of wheat to enable them to main,
tain their war bread from now until
next harvest. -
Our monthly consumption of wheat
must be reduced from 100000 BUSH
els. the normal consumption, to H.
100000 bushels. Full allowance must
be made for our soldiers and sailors,
and these needs can be met only by
to approximately ,one and one-half
pounds of wheat product per week per
person. 80.
ITO bring about this end we ask each
and every one of you to observe the fol-
lowing rule:
"Householders should use not to ex-
ceed a total of one and al half pounds
per week Of wheat products per person.
This means not moro than one and
three-quarters pounds of victory bread
containing the required percentage of
substitutes, and half a pound Of cook
ing flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry,
pies. cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, all
combined.
Many thousand families throughout
| the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except q very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and salts
faction.
I'VE especially ask the well-to-do
householders not only to follow the rule
but to cut down the allowance per per-
son as much below the ~ pounds per
week as possible.
THE need in imperative. There are
no obstacles but selfishness. indiffer-
| ence- and lack Of patriotism. This ap-
peal is made in full confidence that it
will meet prompt and willing response
by the people Of the District"

LOSS ENORMOUS
IN BATTLE Of SOMME
Bodies of Both Friends and Enemies
Stripped as Soon as Possible to
Furnish Teuton Supplies.

Regarding the losses sustained by the
Germans in the battle in Picardy an Of
flcial dispatch from France yesterday
said:
Although as yet our information is
very incomplete, it is certain that the
German losses in the battle of the
Somme have been enormous. Prisoners
who were questioned on the 25th of
March reported, for example, that the
SSth Division of infantry was almost
completely annihilated, and that the
206th Division suffered heavily. The
losses are chiefly due to the ma chine
guns, which, installed with determined
mon in shell holes, NOW down to the
very last the dense enemy formations.
Booty Sent to Rear.
"rhe bodies of both friends and en-
emies are stripped as soon as possible
by the Germans and left entirely nude.
The booty thus obtained by seizing the
equipment and clothing is collected and
! sent to the rear so great is the scarcity
of clothing and leather.
The prisoners when questioned do
not conceal their amazement at the
very small number of English and
French dead which they passed in the

admit the great surprise of their COM
mand in the resistance of the allied
troops. They had. in fact, promised
them that all would be over in few
days.

Unable to Make Rapid Advance.

The German assault divisions could
not push rapidly over this broken
country and our machine guns punished
them terribly as they stumbled for
ward The German barrage had been
very heavy. Gaps were torn in our
entanGlements, but there remained suf-
ficient wire entanglements to embar-
rass the enemy. Prisoners have told
us that Arras was their objective, to
be attained at all costs. No other
order could have made them persevere
in the face of such whitening fire.
AT great sacrifice the 18th division OBJ
tanned a footing upon Orange hill by 9
o'clock this morning. This inconspicuous
spur. like the greater eminence along
side, known as Telegraph hill, gives a
good foothod for further operations in
either direction. The Germans were bent
on capturing them. regardless of casual
ties. The fighting swayed up and down
the shallow valley front and along the
face of both hills. Eventually our troops
had to fall back towards a long, narrow
observatory ridge nearer the city.
