a Finnish Senate Declares
Independence of Country
Stockholm, Dec 7. According to
information received here from Hap
? aranda, the Finnish Senate has fol
lowed the previous, action of the
Landtag in proclaiming Finland's
. complete ' independence, and that
" thereupon the government issued a

step taken by the Diet.
Emperor Charles Anxious
' For Coming Day of Peace
Amsterdam, Dec. 7. At the recep
tion of the Austrian delegations, says
a Vienna dispatch, the emperor re
marked to the presidents of the par
, liaments:
."J 'H be the finest day of my life
when I can conclude peace ."
Statements appearing in the Chi
cago press and widely circulated
emanating from parties interested in
exploiting the sale of meat, protesting
against wheatless and meatless days
as unnecessary sacrifices by the
American public, are either malicious
or come from persons obviously en
deavoring to raise prices of meat, ac
cording to Nebraska Food Adminis
trator Wattles.
Meatless days have for the first
lime created a sufficient visible supply
of meat to allow us to partially com
ply with the quantities requested by
the allies for shipment during the
month of December." declares Ad
ministrator Wattles, on receipt of
telegraphic information from Admin
istrator Hoover.
"This should be a matter of satis
faction to the American people that
their devo'ion in this matter now
enables us to resume our duties to
the allies, in this respect and our en
deavors should in no instance be re
laxed. "As to wheat, we have already ex
ported the whole of the surplus of the
1917 harvest over and above the nor
mal demands of our own population
until the 1918 harvest. It is necessary
for the food administration to restrict
the export of wheat so as to retain in
the United States sufficient supplies
to carrour own people until the next
harvest. Therefore all exports of
wheat from now forward are limited
entirely to volume of saving made by
the American people in their con
sumption of wheat and wheat products.
"We are continuing wheat ship
ments for December as far as our
situation allows, but even with all the
conservation made we are still unable
to load over 400,000 tons of foodstuffs
urgently required by the allies during
the month of December alone.
"Statements of the above character,
given out for personal interest, are in
little accord with the spirit being
shown by millions of homes in the
United States in an endeavor to aid
the food administration in its task of
feeding our own soldiers abroad as
well as our allies and stabilizing prices
to our own people.
"No more foolish or unpatriotic ut
terance has been made than the state
ment referred to. In the critical sit
uation of the world's food today op
position to the government conserva
tion measures Is an action compara
ble to opposition to the draft, because
any failure in saving tood means
direct and immediate loss of life.
aside from serious interference with
our war service in the feeding of our
allies."
South Side Auto Thieves
Leave Their Tools Behind
Dr. John Newman, 2711 6 street,
reported to the South Side police
that thieves attempted to steal, his
automobile from the garage in the
rear of his place. The lock was
broken from the door of the garage.
The thieves were evidently frightened,
for they fled and left their tools scat
tered about. They left a spark plug
wrench and a steel chisel and several
small tools.
At the City mission, 1204 Pacific
street, on Thursday afternoon, there
were about 100 weary, poverty
stricken mothers and their babies who
had come to partake of the dinnei
called "Thanksgiving." This is' a
yearly affair, though following the
real Thanksgiving by a week, and the
women of the poorer districts try
never to miss it.
Asked her opinion of the dinner, a
small, blue-eyed woman replied with
great spirit, "Oh, ay tank it's yust
svell!" Halfway down one of the long
tables sat a little Italian mother with
two young children on either side of
her and a wee baby in her arras. It
is nice," she said softly, while her
eyes brightened, "very, very nice. I
cannot say much ay, you say nice-
nessr Then she brushed the dark hair
back from her little one's forehead.

Danes Face Slash
In Bread Rations
Copenhagen, Dec. 7j Final fig
ures fo the cereal harvest show a
total of 62,000,000 bushels, which is
20,000,000 bushels less than in 1916
and some 10,000,000 bushels less
than was reckoned in the summer,
when the authorities fixed the bread
ration.
Only about 28,000,000 bushels of
all grains is available for flour mak
ing during the coming year. Ac
cordingly it is probable that the
bread ration will be reduced.
