10 PRESIDENT CALLS FOR GREATER ECONOMY IN U S; American People Especially Urged to Reduce Pork and Wheat Consumption Washington, Jan. 28.—The Presi dent has called upon the Nation for greater food economy. For the most part the reduction in wheat and meat consumption, he urged, is left to the voluntary and patriotic co operation of the American people. The police force to enforce the President's proclamation will be American housewives'. Here is what the President asks: Two wheatless days every week— Monday and Wednesday. A wheatess meal every day. A meatless Tuesday. A porkless Saturday. A meatless meal every day. Economy In sugar consumption and elimination of waste every day. The President, acting on the rec ommendation of Herbert C. Hoover, the food administrator, called on the people of the Nation to adopt tills program with just as thorough patriotic response as prompts them to give their sons to the Army, be cause food supplies to the nations making common cause with the United States against Germany are as essential as troops in the trench es. The President asked for a reduc tion of thirty per cent, in the con sumption of wheat and its products for home baking, which provides rlxty per cent, of the bread con sumed by the Nation, and he asked j lot consumption of the new victory' bread —a mixed bread, beginning | with five per cent, cereals other than wheat and gradually Increasing until \ it is only eighty, per cent, wheat) flour. The Allied nations have gone far beyond this, and in Germany bread contains only fifteen per cent, of wheat flour. Now l*rograni Effective To-day The President asks that the new program become effective to-day. Commercial bakers will be required, tinder the food administration's li censing power, to bake the new vic tory bread, and legislation is to be offered in Congress providing that hotels, restaurants, dining cars and other public eating places be requir ed by law to observe the program. The reasons for the new pro gram were gjven last night by Mr. Hoover. If the American people fail to co-operate, the supplies Intended for the Allies will have to be re duced and the extreme rations al ready In effect in France and Eng land cannot bi 1 maintained. Mr. Hoover admitted to-day that he was genuinely alarmed over the corn situation, which is a vital fac tor in the new program. Although the Nation had the largest corn crop In history last year, only forty per :ent. of it has been moved from the arms, due to the transportation :ongestion. Food Administration's Statement The Food Administration issued the following statement: "The following is a summary of he rules that have been formulated by the United States Food Adminis tration, with the approval of the President, in order to effect the fur ther conservation In foodstuffs ne cessary to support the Allies and lur own armed forces over the next our months. These rules are cffec- Ive from the morning of Monday, nnuary 28. -"The effectiveness of these rules is ejicndent solely upon the good will f and the willingness to sacrifice by lie American people. In the last nalysis, the success or failure of n> plan such as that here outlined i-sts with the people. We are de endent upon the co-operation of ic trades. We have but one police i iree—the American woman—and ■e depend upon her to organize i co-operation with our state and ical food administrators to see that lese rules are obeyed by that small linority who may fail. Part of the ules will be enforced under the ever food act; other parts are vol ntary, and will cfepend for their iccess upon public sentiment. Our sperlence hitherto has shown a illingness of the vast majority of :nsumers, and a full co-operation f the trades, to undergo the self icriflce necessary to render such easures effective. The small mi arity who refuses to co-operate lould not be allowed to defeat the atlon's nece'ssities: "First. As their part in reduc ig the consumption of wheat flour, le consumers of the country are illed upon, in purchasing such aur, to buy at the same time an jual weight of the other cereals ?ornmeal, cornstarch, cornflour, >miny, corn grits, barley flour, rice, ee flour, oatmeal, rolled oats, buck heat flour, potato flour, sweet po to flour, soya bean flour and fe rita flour and meals). The house ife may use these products separ ely In making bread, cakes and . mtry, or mix them as she thinks Est. "The retailers are to sell wheat )ur only with an equal weight of ece other cereals. "Second. Consumers will be able obtain mixed cereal bread from lelr bakers, who will be required nder the license regulations to mix ve per cent. (5 per cent.) of other ereals with their wheat flour, both n bread and rolls, and will be re lulred gradually to increase in this lubstitution until beginning Febru ry 24, a minimum of twenty per ;ent. of such cereals is to be used. The Food Administration strongb oxes of consumers the buying of :hls bread, which will be known as Victory bread, and will contain not less than twenty per cent, of ce fIRED, NERVOUS , HOUSEWIFE I 101101 "ow She is Strong and Well Berkley, Cal.—"l was nervous, ir itable, no appetite, could not sleep, ,nd was always tired, so my house rork was a great efTort.

Graham or whole wheat bread will also be given that name, because, contain ing, as they do, twenty-tive per cent, more of the wheat grain than or dinary white bread, they too will serve the purpose of saving wheat fiour. "If you bake bread at home, use wheat substitutes; if you buy it, buy only Victory bread. "Third. Manufacturers of maca roni, spaghetti, noodles, crackers, breakfast foods, pie, cake and pas try are not to purchase to exceed sevently per cent, of the wheat fiour they used during the corresponding months of 1917. These manufac turers will be performing a patrio tic service by using cereals other than wheat in their productions. Regulations for Wholesalers "Fourth. Wholesalers will be re quired, under license regulations, not to buy more than seventy per cent, of their purchases of flour Jrom millers as based on their pur-, chases for the corresponding months of the preceding, year, and their sales to the retail trade must l>e in the proportion of 'one pound of wheat flour to one pound of other! cereals, this being the same propor-| tion in which the retailer sells to the consumer, unless the wholesaler satisfies himself that the substitutes, have been alrady purchased from another source. "A ruling has been made that in making any combination sales under this program dealers shall name a price for each of the articles so sold which shall not represent more than a normal pre-war-profit on any one of the articles sold. "Fifth. Millers of flour are to distribute tbeir output through their customary channels and markets in such a manner that each city, town and district may receive its usual proportion. The wheat millers have been required to produce one barrel of flour from 26 4 pounds of wheat. This Is a white flour and represents from two per cent, to four per cent, higher extraction than from last year's harvest. Two "Wheadcw" Days I "Sixth. To assist further in con ) serration, Monday And Wednesday of each week are to be observed as wheatless days, and one meal of each I da> as a wheatless meal. This ap plies both in the home and in the public eating place, and # on such days and meals no crackers, pas tries, macaroni, breakfast foods or other cereals containing wheat slio.uld be used. The only exception to this is such small amounts of llour as may be needed for thicken ing soups or gravies or as a binder in corn bread or other cereal bread. "Seventh. On wheatless days, and at wheatless meals, the food admin istration urges that bread baked in the home be other than wheat bread. Where bread is purchased either for use in public eating places or in the home. Victory bread should be used, if no wheat substitutes can be found. • "The Federal food adminstration in each state will announce thte meal to be served as a wheatless meal in his state. If no meal is designated the United Stated food administra tion prefers that the evening meal be wheatless. "Eighth. It is further desired, in order 'that meat and pork products be conserved, that one meatless day (Tuesday) in every week, and one meatless meal in every day be ob served and, in addition, two pork ltss days (Tuesday and Saturday) in every week, be strictly kept. By 'meatless' is meant without hog. cat- ■ tie or sheep products. On other days' use mutton and lamb in preference to beef or pork. By 'porkless' is meant without pork, bacon, ham, lard or pork products, fresh or pre ferred. Use fish, poultry and eggs. "Ninth. For local situations where exceptions are necessary application should be made to the state food ad ministrators." DRASTIC ORDER HITS RAILROADS fContinued from First Page.] and approved by the Interstate Commission." From the office of R. Boone Ab bott, superintendent of the Harris burg division of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway, a similar statement was Issued. It was said: "We have received nothing officially regarding the new pass order, and know only what the papers arc saying. The order does not affect railroad em ployes, according to our inter pretation." Washington, D. C., Jan. 28.—Rail roads have been ordered by Director General McAdoo to dispense with the services of legislative and po litical agents and all attorneys not engaged in the performance of nec essary legal work, and to observe strictly the law regulating free passes. This, the first economy order un der government operation of the railroads, will cut off large and well paid staffs maintained by many com panies and eliminate from payrolls hundreds of lawyers throughout the country who draw annual retainer fees. If it is complied with to the letter, as the Director General's of .flce intends to see that it is, thou sands of free passes now held by state, county and municipal officials and others will be canceled. General order No. 6 is the title of the order sent to officers and direc tors of all railroads. It follows: "During the period of possession, operation and government control of railroads, it is necessary that of ficers, directors and agents of rail road companies be very careful in the handling of moneys and in the dealing of transportation matters. Cut Expenditures Without attempting at this time to give general directions, there are a few matters involving the expendi ture of moneys for purposes having no direct relation to transportation, which should receive immediate at tention, as well as the issurance of free transportation. "It is therefore ordered that the carriers' operating revenues shall not be expended: "I—For the payment of agents or other persons who are employed in anv way to affect legislation. "2—For the employment of attor neys who are not actually engaged in the performance of necessary legal work for the company. "3—For the paj'hient of the ex penses of persons or agencies con stituting associations of carriers un less such association is approved in advance by the Director General. "4 —For any political purpose or to directly or indirectly influence the election of any person or an election affecting any public measure. Employes Only "Issuance of free passes: "No passes or free transportation shall be Issued by any carrier under federal control or any official of such carrier unless the issuance of such free transportation is expressly au thorized by the act of Congress, en titled 'An act to regulate commerce, approved February 4, 1887, and amendments thereto,' and any such passes or free transportation here tofore issued not in conformity with said act must be recalled. "This order applies to all car riers under federal control, wheth er interstate or Intrastate." The act of 1887 referred to forbids the Issuance of passes to other than employes. DRY FORCES IN FIGHT IN ADAMS Working Hard in Court to Prevent License Grant to Bcndersville Hotel Gettysburg, Pa., Jan. 28.—January term of court began to-day, but there are no cases of importance to be tried. Several cases resulting from the camp here last summer are on the docket, but among these are the two negros who escaped fiom the county jail some time ago vhich will not come Up. It is ex pected that the court will last only a few days for the trial of the crim- Inul cases and there are no civil cases listed. Chief interest centers in the 11- ctr.se court, the sessions of which will be resumed on Thursday for the third time during the month. All ol thehe cases have been disposed of except the license for the Elk Horn Hotel at Bendersville, of which Frank R. Bailsman is proprie tor. This case is being hotly con tested on both sides, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of that town leading the fight against the granting of the license. The decis ions of the court in the closing up of the hotels at Arendtsville and Blg lerville makes the entire northern end of the county dry with the ex ception of Bendersville and the dry forces are working hard to make the job complete.

SHIPS [Continued from First Page.] to strike a decisive blow in the west," Secretary Baker stated in his weekly review of the military situation, "it must be emphasized that he will not bo content with mere military opera tions on a large scale. "During the last fortnight enemy submarines have been recalled to home ports to be refitted, and the most powerful submarine offensive hitherto undertaken may be expect ed to be launched against our lines of communication with France, to Interrupt the steady flow of men and munitions for our Army and food supplies for the Allies.': In connection with Mr. Baker's statement of the withdrawal of en emy submarines, It was pointed out that decreased losses to shipping during the last few weeks have been reported, and the war secretary's re view has given as the official ex planation of it. Commenting on the civilian out breaks in Austria, Secretary Baker states: "Reports reach us of the increas ing restiveness of the Slav popula tion of Austria, more particularly the Czechs. "The general strike in Vienna and other upheavals throughout the mon archy are assuming serious propor-. tions and they are no longer to be held of mere internal interest, but will inevitably react on the general political situation." Activity on the West The review adds: "During the period under review renewed activity along the entire western front .is noted. "The region bordering the North Sea has again become the scene of severe lighting. "A carefully co-ordinated opera tion undertaken by British monitors, acting in concert with land batter ies in the area north of Ypres, sub jected - the German defenses of Os tein! and surrounding country to a severe bombardment. "No infantry action was attempt ed in this sector by the British, but later in the week the Germans re acted sharply and directed a strong assault against the short sector of the line in the dune area which fringes the coast in the vicinity of Xieuport. This attack, which must be considered something more than *. simple raicL broke into the French lilies, and for a brief period the enemy detachments were able to hold their ground in the advanced French outposts. The French speed ily brought up fresh forces, drove out the enemy and were able to re establish themselves in their for mer positions without difficulty. "In the Italian theater the im portance of the successful French assault in the region of the Monte Tomba three weeks ago is proved by the retreat of the enemy in this area. "The enemy has abandoned an extensive tract of terrain north of the Monte Tomba, extending to the Piave. The Austrian lines now rest on the Monte Spinoncia. Italian Key Hclievcd "It would appear that the enemy has for the time being abandoned hia attempt to break through this chan nel to the plain. "The Austrians, while still strong in this sector, nevertheless no longer directly threaten the key positions of the Italian line. Increasing live liness of enemy artillery in the Val Lugarina is recorded. It is appar ent that the Austrians are carrying out their plans of shifting their cen ter attack further to the west. "The Val L.agarina offers peculiar attraction for an invasion of Italy. It is a classic path of invaders com ing from the north. We may expect that should the opportunity seem fa vorable the enemy may attempt an operation in this area. "In Russia peace negotiations have continued with frequent interrup tions. "In Palestine the British are ex tending their lines to the ncfrth and during the week advanced further in the neighborhood of Durch on a trontage of approximately four miles. "The victory of the British over the Turkish naval forces off the Dar danelles must be mentioned as an event of especial military signifi cance. "Observers coming from Constan tinople vtery recently informed us that as long as Constantinople re mained under the guns of the former German cruisers Goebens and Bres lau, the Turks would necessarily con tinue under the domination of the Germans."

War Department Quotes Orders to Show Powers Possessed by Stettinius Washington, Jan. 28.—Secretary of War Newton D, Baker's answer to the complaints that Edward R. Stettinius would be without legal au thority to perform the duties of sur veyor general of Army purchases was given to-night in the announcement that on January 11 powers granted by Congress to the Secretary of War were delegated to Colonel Palmer E. Pierce, as an assistant chief-of-staff, under whom Mr. Stettinius will work. Although tue announcement from the War Department was not made as a statement from Secretary Baker, officials saw in It further evidence that Mr. Baker has been converted from his policy of not "being annoyed by criticism," as the statement Is a direct answer to all the complaints that Mr. Stettinius would not have real power to perform the tasks for which he was selected. The Secretary of War and adminis tration officials generally continue to insist that all of the numerous changes announced by Mr. Baker were part of a general reorganiza tion and co-ordination plan worked out before the Senate committee be- Kan Its inquiry, but many parsons ih Washington are beginning to doubt that Mr. Baker's original plans were nearly so broad as now announced. There have been repeated state ments to the effect that the president is working on plans for. a war cab inet, but it is denied that such ac tion, if carried out, would, be a com promise with Senator Chamberlain and the Senate committee.

JANUARY 28, 1918. !NEWS OF STEELTON KIRK SHELLEY IS BURGLAR'S VICTIM Musked Man Holds Him Up at Gun's Point; Gets Large Sum At the point of a revolver, a mask ed negro held up and robbed Kirk Shelley, a Steelton hotel proprietor, of a large sum of money in his home late Saturday night. A man who gave his name as Tesley Paschal, was ar rested yesterday afternoon by the po lice and is being held pending an in vestigation. ■ The amount of money which Mr. Shelley was compelled to hand over to the burglar is not known, but- it is said to be more than SI,OOO. The negro was hiding in a small room adjoining the barroom of the hotel. When Mr. Shelley came 'roru his home upstairs to turnoff a pump which was not adjusted properly be fore he retired, the burglar Hashed a searchlight in his face, covered him with a gun marched htm upstairs, compelled him to hand over his money bag and (led. The robbery was unknown to members of the family. Mrs. Shell iy had gone to the third Iloor to retire u few minutes before Mr. Shelley hai tone to the first iloor. This was un upual, as Mrs. Shelley Is wont to sU'y with her husband on a Saturday night until the business of the day Is straightened out. Other members of the family had retired earlier. Mr. Shelley's Story In telling of the robbery, Mr. Shelley. said: "I came up from the bar room shortly after 1 o'clock after bidding good-night to some men that I had been talking to and the employes that had been work ing there. The money bag with the day's cash in it I threw on a chair near my desk, and went to the neSt room to get an orange before X re tired. "While I was peeling the fruit I heard the beer pump, which circu lates the drink to the bar, running. This I knew had not been turned off. I went down to the bar room on the first floor and turned on the lights In the room. I walked be hind the bar to the adjoining room where the pump is located. I heard the rattle of some bottles but think ing It was some house kittens thought nothing of It." Throws Plash Light In Face "I turned on the dim light in the small room and proceeded to turn the pump switch off, when a masked negro flashed a strong search light in my face. In his other hand he held a large revolver close to my nose. "I told him he didn't want to shoot me, in a natural tone of voice. He replied In a whisper that I should not talk and do as he told me. He asked me where my money was and I told him upstairs. At the point of the gun he backed me through the room Into the hall lead ing upstairs. He compelled me to unlock the front door leading from the hallway into the street. All the time he was close to me, holding the gun In my face, talking In whispers. Wanted All Money "Following his orders I went quietly up the steps and at the 'top turned on another light In the hall. He said he wanted all my money. I put my hand In my pocket to get out some money I had with me and he gripped my hand, pulling It out of my pocket determinedly. I sup pose he thought I had a gun and was trying to get It. "He ordered me to get the money. I told him that the door leading into the room opened hard, and that I could not push It open. He threw his body against the sliding door and forced it open with a crash. In a few seconds later I handed him the money rather slowly, getting a good look at his face, and he fled. I did not follow him. "The noise he made by jamming the door at once attracted the at tention of the dangerous watch dog on the next floor with Mrs. Shelley. The guardian Immediately dived down the steps to my asistance my wife said. She screamed, knowing Ht once that something was taking place out of the ordinary and the dog returned to her, as he Is her protector. "I jumped through a door into the next room. I immediately went to the front window, raised It and cried for help at the same time try ing to see which way the robber went. He did not go down the street and my view up street was obstruct ed. Neighborhood Aroused by Cries "The neighbors heard the cries of Mrs. Shelley and myself and in a short time the entire community was aroused. The police were noti fied and came in a few minutes.
