semination of all press information.
His appointment is the result of
a request from the publishers and |
editors of Philadelphia that the
newspapers of "Pennsylvania have a
personal representative'on the food
administration board. Colonel Mc-
Clain accepted the place on condi
tion that he be permitted to serve
without salary and with the under
standing that the newspapers will
give him whole-hearted co-opera
tion.
Colonel McCain is widely known

Don't Waste Wheat
Flour Substitutes,
Warns Administrator
IT IS reported that some indi
viduals consider that they
have filled their patriotic duty
in buying the required substitutes
when they buy flour, and that
they then make no further use
of the substitutes. 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have been withdrawn in order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.

Stephen's Episcopal Church: the Rev.
W. Quay Rosselle, pastor of the
Fifth Baptist Church; the Rev. Dr.
John A. MacCalium, of Walnut Street
Presbyterian Church, and many oth-1
er church leaders spoke in favor of
the resolutions.
The Inter-Church Federation pledg
ed its members to obtain the nomi
nation and election of legislators at
Harrisburg who will vote for rati
fication, and called upon pastors and
lnymen of all denominations to leave
nothing undone to register the mem
bers of their congregations
There was not a dissenting voice
or vote. The church leaders, ot
whom about fifty per cent, were
present, were unanimous in their
sentiments.
Bishop Berj-y said the voterp of
Pennsylvania were aroused as never
before and, if the church vote could
be registered and enrolled, victory
would be in sight.
The resolutions were presented by I
the committee on temperance, of
which the Rev, Frank P. Parkin,
secretary of the Atlantic Agency of

man.
The united action by the churches
'on the ratification piograrn is with

'WAR CALLS FOR
GREATER WORK
IN U. S. SCHOOLS
United Brethren Arc Told by
Bishop Bell of Kaiser's
Iniquity
Brethren Church pastors
and laymen heard a stirring address
last evening in the Derrv Street
Church from Bishop W. F. Bell, who
emphasized that the war has mjide
a demand for religious leaders and
that the church must work from now
on with a more comprehensive pro
gram. "The American Church is
awakening," he declared; "certainly
and inevitably, for a mighty shock
has come to the nerves and soul of
the world. Stealthily, like a pan
ther surveying his prey and then
pouncing upon it with all his fury,
has the Kaiser and his military as
sociates deliberately planned to fly
at the throats of the rest of civili
zation and overcome the unsuspect
ing peoples of the earth.
"It is the boast of the Kaiser that
j the sword of his armies shall strike
terror to the hearts of all his foes.
For out-aud-out ruthlessness he
and his satellites have surpassed
anything in all history. He delibe
rately planned this war of aggres
sion for years with all his shame
less duplicity and falsehood. He
has constantly and blasphemously
referred to Deity as if all that his
foul soul had conceived was inspir
ed of the Almighty.
Discredited
"The German government stands
to-day absolutely discredited by in
ternational law and all falr-mindPil
statesmen throughout the world.
•Germany is responsible for a war
which approximates the suicide of
the white races of the earth. It is
confessedly a mighty task to co--
ordinate the rest of the world against
Germany and her allies, but it must
be done or the world goes back a
thousand years. To this mighty task
of bringing the high pirate of all the
centuries to leash America is'at last
devoting her vast resources, and the
mobilization is bringing lessons thqt
will never be forgotten.
"All of our social and religious
institutions are being resurveyed and
j will by the war, in a sense, be made
I new. Organized religion will be
modified in many unexpected ways.
' Unless great care shall now be taken
the moral and religious leadership or
the oncoming generation will be
fearfully inadequate for the recon
struction* which must follow the
coming of a tardy peace.
"It is the hour of all hours for
thoughtful and devout religious lea
dership. The educational responsi
bility is without parallel. Both state
and church must evidently put on a
bigger program for education than
: has yet-been provided. The current
; movements for making education
! effective must be responded to by
! the same spirit of high determina-
I tion with Vvhich military action is
being secured.
Must Help Schools
"No constructive agency shall be
suffered (to lag or fall t* lower
levels of power and service. We
must place more young men and wo
men in our colleges than ever be
fore and the incvase must not be
inconsiderable.
"Forward, then, in the fullest sup
port of our military service in un
flagging pursuit of social justice and
religions efficiency. The world's
greatest work is ahead. Let us have
| a heart for the challenging hour."
The meeting was presided over by
j Dr. S. C. Knck, of Philadelphia, who
spoke of the necessity of endowing
Lebanon Valley College. Dr. G. D.
j Gossacd, president of that institu
tion, gave the cheering announce
ment that this college had more
graduates in the last three years
than in the first twenty-five years
of its history. Congressman A. S.
Kreider outlined the endowment
plans which are to be put in opera
tion during the week, June 17-24.
No solicitation of funds will be made I
until that time, excepting initial
pledges which will be taken earlier.
The territory co-operating with the
colleges includes about 50,000 church
members.
