This is en tirely a wrong impression, as it creates no saving of wheat— which is the one reason for the fifty-fifty rule —and unless each of us goes further and sacrifices his personal convenience—if it is a sacrifice —by eating other ce reals there will be no surplus of wheat for our soldiers or our allies. This is a crisis where wheat alone will answer, and there is only one way to have wheat, which is for us to ko without to the best of our ability. Most of the meatless restrictions have been withdrawn in order that more attention may be paid to wheat, and every one must feel that saving wheat is his part in '•' 'var and the battle-cry of "Food will win the war" must be ohnnsred to "WHEAT WILL WIN THE WAR" DONALD McCORMICK, Food Administrator. ASSENT . TO RUSS! INVASION BY JAPS WITHHELD BY U. SJ Seek Reassuring Statement From Tokyo Government Before Making Statement Washington, March .—lt was authoritatively stated, to-day tlint the Vnlted States has sent no eonununicution to Japan on the subject of action in Siberia and that if any views of this government are expressed they probably will he conveyed to Gfeat Britain through which the United States has received all its Information on the situa tion. Washington. March G.—The Presi dent yesterday authorized the state ment that the United States has not assented to the proposed occupation of Siberia by Japan. He authorized this definite announcement when a press statement, to the effect that the United States in agreement with Japan, Great Britain and the other co-belligerents on the princi ple of action In Siberia, was sub mitted to him. Officials asserted that tile conclu sion could not be drawn from the President's comment that the United States had expressed disagreement with Japan or with Great Britain or with France, and the dominant view j was that the .United States would seek a pronouncement by Japan be fore committing itself to any defi nite position. It was understood that the princi pal aim the President has in mind is to obtain from Tokyo a statement for the benefit of the Kussian peo ple. The United States, it was con tended, • might seek through a formal communication to the Japanese gov ernment an outline of the purposes of the proposed occupation of Si beria, embodying a definite repudia tion of permanent territorial acqui sitions. The President, it was said, is keen ly alert to the effect upon the Kus sian people in the conversational j expressions by the Allied govern | ments over Japanese intentions in ] Kussia in Asia, a feeling that doubt less will manifest itself in tlie Sovi et, which will vote on March 12 on the ratification of tile peace treaty with the Central Powers. Any communication by this Gov ernment to Tokyo, it is held here, would not necessarily have to be one of assent or disagreement with Ja pan's intentions, being essentially one of inquiry, with possibly a stipula tion that, even though the United States might not agree to the prin ciple involved, it could, through a definite statement by Japan, refrain from actual and avowed disagree ment. 800,000 Churchmen in Philadelphia Pledged to Get "Dry" State Rule Philadelphia, March 6.—The Inter- Church Federation of Philadelphia, | representing the 700 Protestant churches of the city and vicinity, j meeting in the Koger Williams build ing, yesterday afternoon, declared itself as favoring only those guber natorial candidates who "stand f.
