hopes to warn relatives Of serv-
icemen against revealing infor-

"We are giving considerable
study to some means of checking
military gossip in beer gardens

without making patriotic citi-
zens run the risks of getting in a
fight of being accused of butting
in to matters which don't con-
Germ them.
Leonard said the best pro-
poSal TO date was a suggestion
that citizens check loose takers
by placing two fingers in a "V'
over their own lips in modifi-
cation of the old=fashioning
"shushing" method.
I'VE want some way he said,
ito let citizens warn others that
they are being overheard with
out subjecting them to criticism
for busybody interference. This
W signal over the lips might be
considered as a polite reminder
that military information is be-
ing scattered too widely"
Leonard said that in general
citizens should not talk about
matters they have seen or heard,
but should discuss only infor-
nation they read in newspapers
or heard on the radio. Those
sources are fully censored, he
pointed out.

Detroits 100000 war workers

der a new and more stringent
employment sterilization plan
conforming to regulations issued
by War Manpower Chairman
Paul V McNutt on April II.
VINO officials term McNutt's

issued provide penalties of one

provisions of the order.
VINO Area Director Montague

the plan may be amended in the
future. There is also a possibility
that Chairman McNutt m Y

with labor leaders next week,
Clark said,
Under amended rules the
VINO must review all quitting
from essential work, and may
issue job transfers only if the
change is regarded as aiding the
war effort. The VINO no longer
will give releases because a
workers wage is substantially
less than that prevailing in the
locality for similar work.

other essential jobs at higher
wages, provided they are cleared

State Orders
Liquor Ration
Quort Per Week
Limit in Effect

LANSING, April 23-- (Pl -
The state liquor control commlS-
sion today placed all liquor out
lets in the state under ratlonlng
and announced Is would follow
through as soon as the plans can
be completed with a program OF
rationing liquor 10 individual
consumers who meanwhile VIII
be limited as well as possible TO
one quart a week per purchaser
Chairman r. Glen Dunn said
Michigan has been allocated a
definite quota Of supply by
liquor distillers and that 20 per
cent of this stock would be ear
marked for sale in the Detroit
area" IS per cent for the rest
of the Lower Peninsula, and five
per cent for the Upper PENN
sula.
These proportions were ar
rived al by computation of sales
during the past year. Dunn said.
SLASH STOCKS
All retail outlets will be limit
ed to the purchase of 90 per cent
of the amounts they purchased
in the first four months of 1912
under the new rationing order,
save that no large private liquor
store may purchase more than
$4,000 worth of liquor this year.
The commission does not
favor privately owned, large
liquor stores in Michigan" Dunn
said in explanation of that pro-
vision.
He said an appeal board would
be established to hear the COM
plants of any licensee who felt
that error had been made in cal
culating the amount he might
purchase.
All drinking houses, hotels
serving liquor by the glass and
club licensees in Michigan may
purchase their quotas once a
week, and only on day desig-
mated by the manager of the
state store from which the indi-
vidual draws his supply. the or
der said, while specially desig-
mated distributors, the privately
owned liquor stores, may pur-
chase only once every two
weeks on a day designated by
the store managed of his supply
depot.
Dunn said the commission lis
further perfecting rationing
plan for the entire state for the
individual purchases of liquor by
the bottle. Details of this plan
will be placed in operation soon.
The commission has further or
dered that all retail sales by the
bottle be restricted to one quart
per week per purchaser.
Dunn promised the commits
sion will use the utmost en-
deavor to secure its allocated
quota from the vendors and dis
tillers and will distribute same
in accordance with this ration
ing program without discrimin-
alton or favoritism.

by releasing the text of an Amer
lean protest against alleged
mistreatment of American air
men who were captured"
This communication, he alleg-
ed, was received only today by
the Japanese government.
Our attitude on this question
already had been made clear be-
yond any argument by the fol-
lowing official statements Hori
was quoted as saying.
Firstly, on Oct. 10, 1912, the
director of the army press sec.
ton of Imperial Headquarters
issued statement which said
AS a result of investigation OF
captured members of crews Of
American airplanes who raided
the mainland on April Is this
year, those who ignored the
principles of humanity have been
severely punished in accordance
with military law
DEATH PENALTY
Secondly, on the same day
the commander of general head
quarters for home defense is
sued the following proclamation.
If members of the crews of
enemy aircraft who raid the
territory Of Japan and come
within the reaches of our au-
thority are found to have COM
mitted cruel and inhuman act,
the same shall be tried before
military court and punished
with death or severe penalty "
Hori said the Japanese gov
eminent notified the United
States, through protecting
power, last February that cap
ital punishment was melted out
to part OF the American air
men captured after last year.
raid.
He added that the Japanese
notification continued in effect
as follows: The policy is pur-
sued strictly On the basis Of cruel
and inhuman conduct with the
view TO minimizing to the utmost
the calamities of war; treatment
as prisoners of war will not be
refused merely for reasons of an
air raid"
Hori went on TO assert that
the japanese ARE always ready
to accord as human and gener-
Gus treatment as possible TO
enemies, as is now being done,
this readiness being predicted on
the self-evident condition that
the enemy also acts humanely,
honorably and does not commit
acts of inhuman cruelty"

The King Salmon IS living up 10

wharves and the market place
these days. a short catch has CO.
incided with short supply Of
rationcd meats.
Actually, say the facetious
?mong the fishermen, if the
kings of the deep suspected the
price on their filets, they'd be
flattered enough - come right
up and jump into the boats.
One boats catch of 1900
pounds brought 48 cents a pound
IN spirited bidding yesterday.
That was record tor Seattle.
Previously this season, the sal
mon has been auc.ioned around
AZ cents, about ii cents higher
than the opening prices a year
ago.
The halibut boats haven't be-
gun to come into Seattle yet, but
the first catch--2l ,000 pounds of
tat Vancouver, =. c., brought
35 cents a pound That was dou-
bic last years price.
Sliced fresh Kins salmon has
been selling over butcher shop
counters recently for about 80
cents a pound.
The Chase Fish Company was
the successful bidder for the 49,
cent purchase at the docks, but
President Thomas Budinich said
the Bonanza for the fishermen
couldn't last. He expressed the
belief that ar unfavorable early
catch was a stronger price factoc
then the demands Of a meat-hun-
CRY public. Others OF the indus
try expressed similar opinions.
Budinich predicted that fresh
salmon prices to the public
would drop to 40-.o cent level
after fishing conditions improve
and unless price ceilings de-
cree otherwise.
