BOOST KANSAS MILLS
Can Again Operate on 30 Per Cent
Basis, Food Department Orders.

Kansas City, March 6.-Flour mills
of the southwestern division, which in
cludes Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma.
Texas, New Mexico. Colorado and
Utah, may grind 80 per cent of their
normal yearly average under the
terms of an order issued here by A.
]. Hunt, chairman of the southwestern
milling division of the federal food
administration.
This order revokes one issued sew
erai weeks ago which prescribed that
mills might not grind more than rs
per cent of their yearly normal. A
large number of mills in the division,
it was said at Mr.. Hunts office, were
compelled to close. down under the
old order. They will now be permitted
to operate again until they have
ground 5 per cent more. There are
about five hundred mills in the divi-
sion. 1t was said that similar orders
were going forward from other divi-
sions turnout the country.
The new order is being issued, it was
said, because of an urgent need for
more flour. 1t was declared that I'M
less there is an increased movement
of grain from farms soon the mills
cannot continue to grind long at the
increased rate

TCDAi'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. March 6.-CORN-Corn prices
hardened today owing more or less to un-
favorable weather. Considerable notice was
taken of an estimate that only 65.3 per cent
of farm stocks were of merchantable quail
ity as against 81 per cent last year. On
farms March 1 was figured at 1.454 900. 600
bushels. aggregate SURPRISING any

opened at the same as yesterdays close
to a shade higher, showed a tendency to

slight improvement in the averag &c
quality of arrivals was noted. There was
said also to be better supply of cars
in Illinois Prices closed steady with
May S1.27A, net advance of a shade.
OATS-Scantiness of offerings resulted
in an upturn of the oats market. Demand,
however. was not urgent.
PROVlSIONS-Strengt in hog values
lifted provisions. Lard led the advance.
Most of the buying was for shorts and
when their wants had been supplied, the
market underwent a reaction.

ASK AID KANSAS BAR
Government in Need of Men Who VIII
Donate Services.

Members of the bar in Kansas have
been urged to offer their services to
the government during the war crisis.
They have been active in the handling
of missionaries under the present
draft regulations and now the Ameri-
can Bar association has issued call
for lawyers in government service.
Lawyers who desire to enter war
work-with or without compensation
are to be enrolled. Every Kansas
attorney who is anxious to. perform
service for his government has been
asked to correspond with William Os-
mond of Great Bend, vice president of
the state bar association; or with
Chester I. Long of Wichita, former
United States senator. Age, experience,
special study or specially of practice
and class of work desired are among
the questions to be answered by the
lawyers. A vast amount of legal work
has developed since the United States
entered the war and volunteer or COM
pensated service of a number of ex-
perienced lawyers is demanded by the
government

GLANDS OFF" is


cause that an Impression of Americas
Observation-Disclosures in world democracy
be fostered among the Germans. This
would be impossible if the United
States were to consent to Japan's in
reference with Russia's still existing
sovereign rights in Siberia. An atti-
tude of disapproval by America on the
other hand must be morally effective
in Germany. President Wilson, in
fact, has won a new victory for the al
lies in his diplomatic offensive.
Uneasiness in Germany concerning
the attitude of the Russian people to-
ward the Brest-Litovsk peace agree
ment shows that Won Hindenburg' s
method of diplomacy is not carrying
conviction at home. The German be-
lief that Lenine and Trotzky may be
compelled to resign is undoubtedly
due to reports that have reached high
German quarters concerning the dis
satisfaction of the Russians with a
German peace.
Must Guard East Front
1t is impossible to believe. under
these circumstances, that there can be
any change in the disposition of the
German troops along the Russian
front. Won Hindenburg cannot afford
to take chances. AS long as the Ger
mans are suspicious of the effective
ness of the work of their own peace
diplomats, there will be little further
movement from the east to the west
front
