Limit Manufacturers of Less
Essentials to so Per Cent
Amount Used Last Year
GRANT HOME GAMERS 25
POUNDS.

The Wisconsin Food Administration
is making every effort to provide can
ners with the requisite amount of

means of conserving food and enables
the public to live during the winter on
vegetables and fruit which they grow
in their war gardens during the sum.
mer

turers of non-essentials and ordinary
household consumers are limited in

gums, and confectioneries, are allowed
only 80 per cent of the amount of
sugar they used last year. Housewives
in town~or city may buy not more than
pounds of sugar at one time, and buy
ers from the country may purchase not
more than 10 pounds at once.

into effect permitting purchases of 25
pounds to the housewives for canning
and preserving. Families are not to

required for this use. The certificate
blank which the housewives must fill
out in buying large amounts of sugar
for canning is given to the grocers by
Mr.. Magnus Swenson, Food Admin
strator for Wisconsin:

Lookinn Into the Future.

An eminent engineer has predicted
that in time to come the rivers Of the
United States will no longer flow as
they do today. Each important stream
will be merely a series of sluggish
lakes, with electric power stations in
between. All the little streams will
be wiped out, and their waters COM
bined into the great ones that are to
supply the heat, light and power Of
the future.

MAJOR GARDNER BURIED
 IN ARLINGTON CEMETERY
Services Were Largely Attended by
 Government Officials.

Washington Jan. 17.-Major Angus tus F. Gardner, former representative in congress from Massachusetts, wto died Monday at Camp Wheeler, Ga, from pneumonia, was buried in Airing ton National cemetery today with full military honors. Services at St. Johns Episcopal church and at the grave were attended by government of ficials, members of congress and an official delegation from Massachusetts headed by Lieutenant Governor Cool idge.
 The house of representatives, as a tribute, recessed from 1045 a. m. to 8 o'clock to permit members to attend the funeral. Before adjournment Representative Longworth of Ohio, one of Major Gardner's intimate associates in congress, in an address, to the house, paid high tribute to Major Gardner as "a statesman, patriot and gallant gentleman"
 MT. Longworth said Major Gard ner's death was a loss of monumental proportions to the nation; that he laid the cornerstone of military prepared ness, and was the first to raise a voice in congress for preparation for the war.
 A bill to perpetually name a first class destroyer in the American navy as the Augustus P. Gardner was intro duced today by Representative Britter of Illinois.

The Teutonic allies ard the Bol- sheviki are still deadlccked over the question of peace terms. The stumbling block evidently is the evacuation of occupied territory, demanded by the Russians in order that the inhabitants may have a free rein in expressing their desires as to their future gov ernment.
 An official German statement says the Russian proposals regarding evac- uation are so divergent from the ideas of the central powers in their present form as to be unacceptable to Ger many and her allies. The Russians are described as having taken an uncom- promising attitude in the matter and as not treating with the Teutons on a just basis.
 Seemingly as giving tfinality to their previously expressed intention with regard to the evacuation of occupied territory, the German statement says the withdrawal of / the Austrian and German troops while the war continues is impossible. In an endeaEor to pla- cate the Russians, however, it is stated that if military. conditions permit the occupying forces may be reduced tC such numbers as are necessary tC maintain order. and meet the technica requirements Of the country

DELIVERIES OF COAL 4
 ARE TO BE SMALL
The Next Few Days, Because of Ad- | verse Weather Conditions.

Washington, Jan 17-Deliveries of
 coal during the next few days will be
 small through the entire storm-swept' section of the country and probably
 elsewhere railroad officials declared
 today after receiving reports of con tinuing cold weather and snow. De-
 spite the fuel administrations restrie-
 ton order, and the extraordinary eff
 forts of railways to move coal, it will
 be physically impossible to haul a nor
 nal daily winter supply for probably
 three or four days even if the weather
 moderates rapidly. Lines to the larger coal mines have
 been opened by snow blows, but the
 way is still blocked to scores of small
 ones. Freezing weather and snow not only have prevente dloaded cars being
 hauled away as fast as usual, but has hindered the return of empty cars. This reduced loading will become most apparent the first part of next week It is understood that the fuel re- striction order was prompted partly ty anticipation of this curtailed coal
 delivery However, the railroad ad-
 ministration is said not to have sug-
 gested such an order, officials of the department taking the attitude that the railways are doing all in their power to deliver coal, and that they are, concerned only secondarily in dis tribution and conservation. Director General McAdoo said the
 railroads would cooperate in carry ing out Fuel Administrator Garfield's order by moving coal to localities needing it most.

Changes to be Made
 in War Machinery
ONE PROPOSES A WAR COUNCIL
 oF:FVE MEMBERS
TWO BILLS FOR SENATE
Council Would Consist of Five Mem-
 bers-Seeond Bill Provides for the Establishment of a Director of Mu. nitions-Both to be Under President.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Framing of legislation contemplating drastic changes in the governments war ma chlnery, including creation of an American war council similar to those of England and France and a director of munitions, was begun today by the senate military committee.
 Two Bills Under Consideration.
 Two bills-one proposing the war council of five members, including the secretaries of war and navy and three civilians appointed by the president, and a second to centralize munitions control in director of munitions were prepared today by a sub-commit- tee consisting of Chairman Chamber lain and Senators Hitchcock and Wadsworth. The munitions director measure it is planned to present to the full committee tomorrow and immedi- ately introduce | it in the senate for early consideration, with the other bill to follow soon after.
 Attitude of Administration Unknown Chairman Chamberlain announced tonight that the committee virtually had agreed upon the two bills in lieu or his measure for a separate depart ] ment of munitions with a new cabinet member. The attitude of the admin. istration toward that has not been dis | closed. President Wilson and Secre. l tary Baker opposed the original Chani berlain bill
 The plan of the committee for tht war council is to have it under tht president, but wholly independent O the cabinet
 l The bill to establish a director O munitions is modelled after the British law. The committee proposes that tn director should be subordinate only t. the. war council and the president an, not the cabinet, taking over man, supply functions of the war, navy shipbuilding and other branches. Tn director would have control of all wa supplies, their production, purchase transportation and distribution.
 Director of Munitions.
 The title of director of munitions was definitely decided upon by tn committee and written into the re drafted bill by the sub committed which rejected proposals to call tn head of the new agency the "directo Of war industries"
 | Virtually the, only important poi,l in the legislation left undetermined the membership of the war council.
 It is intended that the presider shall appoint the members and als the director of munitions, subject t confirmation by the senate.
