ON GRAIN.
EXPORT S
REM Owed
Action Expected to Stabilize
Prices; Wheat and Wheat
Flour Remain on the
Restricted List.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The most
sweeping removal OF restrictions
upon the expectation of foodstuffs
made since the signing of the armis-
tice was announced today by the
war trade board. Commodities re-
moved from the export conserva-
ton list were barley, corn and rye,
including flour and meal made from
these grains, oats and oat produces,
brewers grains, bran and middlings,
beans, dried and split peas, sugar
and hydrogenated cotton seed oil.
Will Grant Export Licenses.
These articles constituted a ma
jority OF the food items on the re-
stricted list and their removal is
effective Immediately. Licenses to
export them will be granted freely
to all destinations, including Great
Britain, France, Italy and Belgium.
Heretofore such exports to these
allied countries were made exclu-
sively by the food administrations
grain corporation and the wheat ex-
port company.
Attention was called to the fact
that wheat and wheat -four remain
on the restricted list. There was
no indication when the embargo on
these commodities would be re-
moved, but it was said that it prob
ably would remain in force until
the governments agreement with
the farmers for maximum price
on the 1919 wheat crop had expired,
Advance in Corn Predicted.
Removal Of the embargo on other
grains was expected by some off
cials to stabilize prices and relieve
what was described as a congested
market. An advance in the price
of corn was looked for by reason
of the fact that prices fell sharply
several weeks ago when removal OF
of the embargo against the importa-
tion of Argentine corn was an
nounced.
1t was said that there was a
heavy demand in foreign countries
for some of the grains now placed
on the free list and particularly rye

ALLIED TROOPS
IN Crave Peril
IN ARCHANGEL
FoCh Expected to Take Dras'
tic Action Against Germans
if They Supplied Reds
With Gas Shells.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The situa-
ton in the Archangel district is
regarded by military officers in
northern Russia as extremely criti-
cal. Reports that the bolsheviki
forces were using gas shells was
taken here by some officers to mean
that this equipment had been sup
piled through German sources, not
withstanding the terms of the armis-
tiee. and if this was established as
fact it was intimated that drastic
action against the Germans would
be taken by Marshal Foch.
Available figures obtained by War
department officials show that the
British force in the region of the
north is approximately 5000; Amer
ican, 4,500; French, 1900; loyal Rus
slams, under British officers, 1900,
and there are 1000 other soldiers
of one of the smaller allied coun-
tries.
Army officials said that the body
of troops now retreating before
well-armed and reinforced bolshe-
wiki was small, being little more
than an advanced post. Reports of
a 407mile retirement, however, led
experts to believe that larger body
was engaged than had been sup
posed heretofore.
American Line Held Firmly.
Archangel, Feb. 2.-While they
have succeeded in capturing the
Shenkursk and Taresevo sectors,
the bolsheviki are still unable to
make any impression on the Ameri-
can and allied lines on the Dvina
sector near Tulgas. For the second
time within a week a night attack
by. the enemy there was repulsed by
the Americans and the Scotch.
The latest attack occurred early
Friday. The bolsheviki stormed the
upper Tulgas, but met with severe
resistance from the American patrol,
who, however, withdrew, giving
their artillery a clear sweep Of the
village. The Americans killed 20
of the bolshevili, wounded 20 and
took seven prisoners. The allied
fpatrol on the Taresevo sector moved
southwark IL miles without encoun-
tering the enemy.

WILSON RESTS
BY Order OF HIS
MEDICAL AIDE
Refrains Even From Attending
Church in Order. to Re-
gain Vitality Lost in
Weeks Hard Work.

Paris, Feb. president Wilson
on this Sunday had his first really
completely restful day since he
landed OH French soil. Rear Ad-
miral Grayson, his medical aide,
was able to have his way in this
respect, having in mind the exceed
ingly hard work which marked every
day last week and the serious de-
parture from the regime which has
so well preserved the health and
strength Of the president up to this
moment.
The president was even induced
to refrain from his almost invariable
custom Of attending church, in order
to regain vitality which had been
sacrificed.
League Program Advanced.
The progress made last week in
the work of the peace conference
through the daily sessions of the
council of the FIVE great powers has
encouraged the hope and expecta-
tion that the main object, the So
ciety of nations, will be so far ad-
vanced toward realization that it
will be possible to get it before the
peace conference in plenarv session
in time to permit Of its adoption by
the middle of next month, which
will enable the president to carry
out his original idea of leaving for
Washington about the date pre-
viously fixed. tf
The plan which has been received
with most favor, looking to the
formation of a league of nations. is
a composite one, embodying the
best ideas of many of the delegates
and specialists.
President Wilson will officially
assemble Monday afternoon at the
Hotel De Crillon the members of
the peace conference commission on
a society OF nations. In some quar-
tiers it is reported that a report to
the conference on this subject is
imminent.
Wilson Pepares Paper.
President Wilson spent most of
yesterday morning at work in his
private office. Instead of availinp
himself of the services of a stenog-
rapher he applied himself assidu-
ously to the typewriter which is
taken as an indication that he was
preparing some paper requiring the
most thoughtful possible consider
alton.
As it is known to be the plan of
the American delegation to rush for
ward plans for the creation of a
society of nations it is assumed the
president. who is member of the
special commission charged with
that project, was engaged in the prep
aration of some statement sup
porting some one proposition or
general scheme.
The American delegates incline TO
the belief that the most serious OBJ
stacle will be found in insistence BY
overzealous advocates upon extreme
methods to enforce peaceful settle
ment of disputes. 1t is understood
the American delegates will give
their support to the plans of General
Smuts and Lord Cecil with the ad-
dition of few of the ideas advanced
by Leon Bourgeois, the French
protagonist of league.
