Wash.— The people of the United States probably will be asked tu observe ap additional wheatless day each week, under new rules being formulated by the federal food admin istration. Charles Hebberd. federal food administrator for Washington, announced upon his arrival from Washington. I). C.. where he has been attending a conference of state food administrators. The use of wheat substitutes with all w heat flour also probably will be asked in the new rules, which are expected to be Issued about the mid dle of this week, he said, and which aim at a further reduction of wheat consumption during the year by 30 per cent. "Th ere Is no shortage of flour and no necessity for hoarding." Mr. Meb- berd said. Mr. Hoover is authority for the statement that the saving made by the people in the last five months amounts to between 25.000,• 000 aud 50,000.000 bushels of wheat. But already this surplus has been ex ported. and there still must be saved for export in the next seven months 75.000.000 to 00.000.000 bushels. The home supply, however, will be safe guarded at all times. v Æ BRIEF WAR NEWS “ The pi-ople uiust either go on or go UudiT." vvas the stirring climax of an address delivered to the trades uulons of Great Britain by David Lloyd George, the British prime minister.
