FOOD REGULATIONS
BEING IGNORED
fcnntInned From Flrst pare

other cereal -four known as a substi-
tute must be sold
WhereN er prosecution is warranted
by evidence it will be promptly mada.
Authentic information has come TO the
/ Food Administration, indicating a we'll
founded German propaganda, intended
TO magnify The distress OF the Central
Powers with response to their food
supply. BY painting conditions worse
than they actually are, the Teutons
hope to lull the American mind into
the belief that we are lighting a people
on the verge Of starvation, and col
lapse and that an early peace is likely.
On the contrary Germany Is not near
ing a crisis on food and there is urgent
need for conservation in this country
Such an at itude In the United States
will delay preparation, defeat conserv-
alton and in countless ways weaken
the military and economic force.
Much Of the German propaganda In
the United states is so plausible and
points out conditions so similar to what
the nation should like TO believe that
many loyal Americans in this country
and abroad have succumbed TO its
charms and unknowingly have helped
to spread It. Any report, cablegram
or letter portraying weakness Of tho
Central Powers, especially purporting
to be inside info nation, bear the
earmarks OF German propaganda. Us
ing every energy to prepare for a long
war is the most effective means OF
bringing the strugsle to an early end.
