ENLISTMENT OF OF U. S.
GUARDS IS SUSPENDED
gained In Protective
Service.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Further or.
ganization of the United States guard
has been suspended, Secretary Baker
announces and the special protective
duty for which the guard was author
lied will be done by army troops,
whose departure for France is not i'm.
minent, supplemented by the 1900 fed.
eral guardsmen, to which number en-.
rolment is now limited.
Originally it was planned to make
the guard a special federal police
force of about $4,000 officers and men
for service largely in the community
in which they enlisted, in enforcing
enemy alien proclamations and such
other work.
"Changed conditions" is the only
reason given in the orders given for
the new plan.

SAVE STRING AND PAPER

Here is a suggestion which might
proftably be adopted throughout the
state:
|. IT received a package yesterday
that was eight inches IN circumfer-
ence, weighed less than half pound
and it had twenty feet OF Irvine wrap.
ped around it.
II went into grocery store and
bought a package Of rolled oats. The
clerk used one yard of paper fifteen
inches wide and twelce feet oe Irvine
to wrap it up, Notwithstanding that
the manufacturer had put the rolled
oats in a paper bow carton, sealed it
air tight and then had covered the
package with clean, attractive label,
That's going on in million stores.
1T takes more time for the clerk
to wrap the package than it does to
sell it. The Irvine and paper are worth
as much as his time. Let everybody
carry the clean, small packages that
are already in pasteboard and tin
packages and save labor, twlne and
paper.''
This suggestion comes from the Pub.
lie Safety Commission Many mick

proverb, and it is thus pointed out one
Of the mick1es to be saved.

What's the Answer?

Old elephant hunters who have hunt
ed their quarry in India, Siam and the
wilds of the Malay peninsula are agreed
upon the following fact: Bury the car
cass of full grown tusker in any spot
in Asia-it matters not whether the To-
cation be high and dry or low and
damp-one year from the date Of burial
not a shred of hide nor g silver Of bone
can be found by digging: Neither dis
Indignation nor ants can be an expla-
nation, for the phenomenon has been
noted in the highlands of Nepal, where
buried carcasses of other animals than
the elephant undergo little or no change
within a year and elephants bones dis
appear in localities where ants are un-
known. So far the scientists have
failed to come forward with an answer.

TO BUY FLOUR FOR WAR NEEDS
GOVERNMENT TO PURCHASE 30
PER CENT OF ALL OUTPUT.
Quota To Be Used For Army and Navy
T.. And To Supply Needs OF
Allies. .

r Washington, Jan. 10.-Needs of the
army and navy and nations associated
with the United States in war will be
supplied, the food administration an
nounces by purchase from every flour
mill in the country of not to exceed 80
per cent Of it's output.
Out of the -four bought, it was ex.
planned, the food administration will
retain at all times reserve stock and
will ship -four to any point where the
local supply might be short.
"This measure is not taken with a
view OF diminishing supplies to mar
ket," said the announcement, "but is
to fundamentally further adequate
handling of transportation in respect
to army, navy and export require
ments, and a regular supply of -four
for associates in war of the United
States at favorable loading points, and
more regular flow of the commodity
and to prevent congestion and Unequal
tiles in stocks of -four owing to trans.
port difficulties"
"Notice will be sent to each mill
at least two weeks in advance of the
percentage of output which the food
administration desires to obtain from
them for a subsequent period of 30
days.
bids will be made in the usual
manner for army mad navy require
ments, and, where awards are made to
mills on such bids, such awards will
be applied as part of the 80 per cent
required by the food administration"

Modern and cultured persons, be-

woman like Peggotty. But surely it is
more important to be educated in a
sense Of human dignity and equality
than In anything else in the world.
And child who has once had to re-

AGREEMENT NOT EXPECTED
Would BE Revolutionary Step Fo"
Teutons-War To Go On With All
vigor But More Favorable
To Allies,

Washington, Jan. 0.-Germany
must make the next move in the dis
cussion of war aims and peace. To
count seriously with the United States
and the Allies, it must be a move that
will line Germany up in strict accord
ance with the II articles Of faith
voiced by President Wilson,
Germany is not yet ripe for such
revolutionary step. This is the Off.
cial view of the situation voiced at
the State department..
It means that the war will go on
with all vigor. This is the view of
President Wilson, according to Sena-
tor J. Hamilton Lewis, Of Illinois, who
talked with the chief executive.
"The President" he said, has
freely told everyone that the quickest
way to peace is to prepare quickly to
win the war;"
But it will go on under conditions
newly made more favorable to the Al
lies. There has been a change in both
the military and political dispositions
Of the embattled world.
Foe Cut OF by Snow.
|: Shows in the Alps have cut of from
home large section of Austrian and
German armies. They face the newly
drawn 1talian-French-British line, ade-
quately supplied from the sun-warmed
plains of Northern Italy, which the
Teutons failed to overrun completely.
The uncertainties, If not the positive
promise of the Russian situation, will
hold hundreds of thousands Of Ger
mans on the East front divisions
which Germany had counted on for
her much-advertised West front drive.
A very remarkable change ip the at
titude of Allied representatives to-
ward Russia was in evidence here yes
terday after the President showed the
way Tuesday.
Strengthened by Despair.
That Germany's military party will
be further strengthened by the very
despair of Germany's situation, con-
tinues to be official belief here after
weighing of the effect of the Presi-
dents address and digest Of such
meager news as has reached the world
from within Germany. But failure of
German duplicity with Russia will
work and more upon the German peo-
pie. The broad principles of Presi-
dent Wilson's and Lloyd Georges
speeches will fan the flame of discon.
tent.
