WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 19.—
rood Administrator Hoover is re
sponsible for the-publication of the
statement that the wheat crop of
1917 is four hundred million bush
els • short of supplying the Allies
their needs over and above the re
quirements of this country.
Hoover advocates as a partial rd
medy that every person use one
pound less of wheat flour per week
and • this will mean a reduction of
twenty per cent in the total national
consumption.
Already, plans are now made pub
lic for a mixed flour containing a
per ccntage of other cereal with the
flour. The flour so mixed will make
a trifle darker and a Little heavier
bread but will be just as wholesome
as that white bread made from
whole flour now commonly in use.
The situation is considered so ser
ious that steps must be taken at
once to bring about a reduction in
the consumption of wheat flour and
bread made exclusively from it.
It is not probalbe orders to j
this end may soon be promulgated
under the authority given the gov
ernment by the food control act.
The bakers are expecting some such
regulation almost any time. The
price of such bread will probably
aloo be set by the government ac
cording to the standards used.
GERMANE fight to get
BACK LOST POSITIONS
LONDON, Aug. 19.—Haig reports
that there wore no infantry attacks

fective even than usual.
However there was no lull on the
west front. The German efforts t,o
Tcgain the positions lost in the Lens
sector were renewed today and the
fighting was carried on with terrific
violence.
Not less than five massed attacks
upon the part of the Germans to re
gain the positions lost north of

ing.
At one time it appeared likely
that it might be desirable to with
! draw from one position to prevent
! loo great a loss, but the arrival of
i ample reinforcements made this
movement neither necessary nor de
sirable.
PARIS, Aug. 19.—The Germans
agam.showcd activity in the Cham
pagne' sector and made several at
tacks upon the French positions.
They were repulsed.
The Germans are moving men
from the interior to the Verdun po
sitions .presumably with the pur
pose of again renewing the attack
in that sector where today only ar
tillery was in evidenecc and a duel
prevailed.
MARK TIME ON THE
PEACE PROPOSALS NOW
i
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 19.—
Absolutely nothing is given out con
cerning the attitude of the govern
ment towards the Pope’s peace
terms.
Thousands of dispatches coming
from all parts of the country urge
the acceptance and rejection of the
proposals.
The general belief is that they
will be rejected as untimely for
such a settement.
GENEVA, Aug. 19.—It is under
stood that Germany and Austria
will agree to the Pope’s peace
terms. That was the general inti
mation given out semi-officially
when they were first made public.
Eerlin wires state that the German
government i3 now consulting with
its allies over the proposals but in
dicates no possible answer. 1
LONDON, Aug. 19.—The govern-1
ment is considering the peace pro- i
posals of the Pope. There is a
general disposition in newspaper
circles to submit the plea that the
pope has no authority to act and
that therefore an acceptance in the
face of it would be manifestly ridi
culous.
PETROGRAD. Aug. 19.—It is li
kely that the Kerensky government
will act in accord with the rest ot
the Entente in the matter of the j
Pope's peace proposals. No opin
ion other than this finds public ex
pression.
