EARLY PEACE
DANGEROUS,
SAYS CZERNIN
I Austrian Foreign Minister Pro
1 tests Against Attach in the

t By Asorltrd Prw.
London, Jan. 26. Industrial unrest
;in Austria was referred to by Foreign
'Minister Czernin in his speech to the
Reichsrath. who warned the working
classes against hurrying the govcrn
tment into an early peace.
! "If you attack me in the rear," he
'said, "if you compel me to conclude
Jan agreement in great haste, then we
'shall derive no economic advantage
'and our population will have to fore
go the advantages which they miht
derive from the conclusion of peace.
J 'If you create the totally erroneous
jmpression among our enemies that
e must absolutely conclude peace
immediately a peace at any price
ithen we shall not have a single
1ushel of wheat. I repeat for the
jtenth time that it is not a question
jrf imperialistic aims or of annexa
tionist plans.
f "It is a question of assuring for our
population the reward they have de
served for their energetic resistance.
: Might Spoil Peace.
"Our associates are good calcula
tors and will observe carefuly
whether you take away my liberty of
Action.
"If you spoil peace, if you wish to
jrlo without imports of cereals, then it
as logical that pressure should be
brought to bear by speeches, strikes,
resolutions and demonstrations.
"Jf not, it is a mistake and utterly
ifalse to say that we are in such a
situation that we ought rather to con
clude a bad peace without economic
Advantages today than a good peace
tomorrow with its attendant advan
tages." Count Czernin mentioned the rumor
that the government itself was not
unconnected with the strikes, and
said:
"As the government wishes exactly
the same thing as the majority in the
monarchy that is to obtain as quick
jy as possible an honorable peace
without annexation as its aims it is
folly to attack it from behind and to
tmbarrass and perplex it."
Asks for Vote.
Count Czernin finally asked for a
vote of confidence and concluded:
; "Nothing but a feeling of duty and
confidence in the, emperor and the
majority delegation is keeping me to
my post. . ,"
"No minister of foreign affairs can
conduct negotiations of this import
ance if he does not know, if the whole
world does not know, that he is sup
ported by the confidence of the ma
jority of the constitutional organs.
"Now, if you Lave confidence in
me to conduct the peace negotiations,
then you ought to assist me. Jf you
have not that confidence, then , you
Ought jto dismiss me, s. There is no
third way."

dum taken, from the confidential files
jf Edward P. Swift.
Evidence that the packers had ob
tained confidential information in 1916
caused Francis J. Heney, counsel in

protest publicly to the federal trade
Commission today against the prac
tice of leaving the offices in the com
mission's building unlocked,
j "I have several times returned and
found an Utorney for the packers in
my office," Mr. Heney said.
Packers Planned Campaign.
I Mr. Heney's statement was made
$ connection with the reading of
farther confidential documents taken
from the files of the Chicago packers,
which - showed that the packers
planned an elaborate campaign in
1916 to influence congressmen against
ordering an investigation into the
Ijye stock and meat packing industry,
i wa-i proposed in the Borland reso
lution. The recommendation was made by
cDunsei for the packers that they
should undertake to have the ju
diciary committee flooded with tele
grams from all over the country, es
pecially the congressional districts
where the members came from, pro
testing against passage of the Bor
land resolution, on the grounds Jthat

Sent Different Messages.
'"It quite important to reach
Gard, of Hamilton, O," the memo
randum of counsel reads. "Perhaps
Proctor of Cincinnati knows him."
Questioned by Commissioner Mur
lock, Mr. Heney said the Proctor
referred to was the soap manu
facturer. 'Mr. Murdock found considerable
interest in a sentence of the memo
randum which recommended that all
the messages should be varied.
He said it was the psychology of
congressmen that when they received
i large cumber of telegrams, identi
cal in fcrm, they suspected somebody
was trying to "put something over.'
which undoubted. y was recognized
by the packers also.

President Wilson in Fresh Appeal to
Loyal America Begs Greater Regard
For Food Rules Which Will Win Battles
Asks United States to Heed
Need of Allies Over Seas;
Save More That We
May Send More.
I By AiKclBtd Pre.)
A Proclamation.
Many causes have contributed to
create the necessity for a more in
tensive effort on the part of our peo
ple to savj food in order that we
may supply our associates in the
war with the sustenance vitally nec
essary to them in these days of pri
vation and stress. The reduced
productivity of Europe because of the
large diversion of man power to the
war, the partial failure of harvests
andthc elimination of the more dis
tant markets for foodstuffs through
the destruction of shipping places the
burden oi their subsistence very
largely on our shoulders.
The food administration has form
ulated suggestions which, if followed
will enable us to meet this great re
sponsibility without any real incon
veience on our part.
In order that we may reduce our
consumption ot wheat ana wheat
products by 30 per cent a reduction
imperatively necessary to provide the
supply for overseas wholesalers,
jobbersand retailers should purchase
and resell to their customers only
70 per cent of the amounts used in
191. All manufactures of biscuits,
crackers, pastry and breadfast cereals
should reduce their purchases and
consumption of wheat and wheat
flour to 70 per cent of their 1917 re
quirements and &1I bakers of bread
and rolls to 80 per cent of their cur
rent requirements.
Consumers' should reduce their pur
chases of wheat products for home
preparation to at most 70 per cent
of those of last year or, when buying
bread, should purchase mixed cereal
breads from the bakers.
Observi Wheatless Days.
To provide sufficient cereal food,
homes, public eating places, dealers
and manufacturers substitute pota
toes, vegetables, corn barley, oats and
rice products, and the mixed cereal
bread and other products of the
bakers which contain an admi"'jre of
other cereals.
In order that consumption may be
restricted to this extent, Mondays and
Wednesdays should be observed as
wheatless days each week and one
meal each day should be observed as
a wheatless meal.
Inboth homes and public eating
places, in order to reduce the con
sumption of beef, pork and sheep
products, Tuesday should be observed
as meatless day in each week and one
meatless meal .should be observed in
each day: while, in addition Saturday
in each week should further be ob
served as a day upon 'which there
should be no consumption of pork
products. A continued economy in
the ues of sugr will be necessary until
later in the year.
It is imperative that all waste and
unnecessary consumption of all, sorts
of foodstuffs should be rigidly elimi
nated. No Dangerous Restriction.
The maintenance of the health and
strength of our own people is vitally
necessary at this time and there
fhould be no dangerous restriction of
the food supply; but the elimination
of every sort of waste and the substi
tution of other commodities of which
we have more abundant supplies for
those which we need to save, will in
no way impair the strength of our
people and v ill enable us to meet one
of our most pressing obligations of
the war.
"I therefore in the national interest
take the liberty of calling upon every
loyal American to take ful'y to heart
the suggestions which are being cir
culated by the food administration
and of begging that they be followed.
I am confident that the great body
of our women who have labored so
loyally in co-operation with the food
administration for the success of food
conservation will strengthen their ef
forts and will take it as a part of their
burden in .their period of national
service to see that the above sugges
tions are observed throughout the
land.

Fills Stomach
With New Energy
Wetk, Worn Out, Catty, Sour Stom
ach Revived and Made to Enjoy
Food With Stuart's Dy
pepiia Tablets.
Most of us eat three times a day
and often forget that each meal
should be disposed of in the stomach
to make room for the next. The fail
ure of the stomach to do this is callrd
indigestion or dysperjsia, with its
sour risings, gas, rumblings, pain, de
pression and the feeling of stuffiness
when breathing is difficult
The most effective remedy and the
most reliable one, because you can
get it at any drug store in the United
States or Canada, is Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets, at 50 cents a box. In
stead of depriving yourself of food
or going on a starvation diet simply
keep on as you have and let these
tablets straighten out your stomach,
digest the food nnd keep you in the
fight. Advcrlist-mcnt
OMAHA BAKERS
MUST SHOW WHY
CHARGEJS HIGH
To Appear Before Food Admin
istration, Whsre They Will
Give Figures to Substan
tiate Bread Prices.
Whether bakers of Omaha will be
able to substantiate their statements
that they cannot bake bread and sell
it at 7'A cents per loaf wholesale, will
depend upon their showing, which
must be made in the very near future
Complaints against them, charging
them with taking an undue profit have
been filed in Washington by Federal
Food, Administrator Wattles. The
procedure after a complaint has been
filed has been that those charged are
cited by the United State food ad
ministration to appear before the lo
cal administrator and show cause why
their license should not be revoked.
Hearing by Referee.
The same procedure
will, likely
maintain in the case of bakers, and
they will appear before a referee who
will be named by the local official.
The bakers are preparing for the
hearing, having employed an attorney,
who will conduct their case.
The differences between the bakers
and the food administration preci
pitated by the recent raise in whole
sale prices, resolves itself into the
question of operation expenses. Fre
quent statements have been made that
the actual cost of bread, as far as the
raw materials entering into it, amount
to about 4 cents per loaf.
If Iread cannot be baked at a profit
of 7', cents, the loss is due to over
head expense argues the government.
Important to State.
Figures submitted by the govern
ment, after an exhaustive investiga
tion, stated that bread should be sold
at a profit with the retail price at 7
to 8 cents. This latter price is main
tained in many cities of ihe United
States, while 9 cents is the price in
many of the larger centers.
The bread price in Omaha is the
price that will maintain for the state
and for that reason is of vital inter
est to every person in the state.
The food administration has been
urging cheaper bread, on the theory
that this important foodstuff should
be available for every one at a lea
sonable price.
Everyone must have bread and
while many citizens of the state could
afford to pay the higher price, yet
the great mass cannot afford to stand
the raise, if for any chance it is un
warranted. Joseph B. Fradenburg, attorney for
the master bakers, refused to make
any comment last night.

Use Less Wheat Flour.
"1. As their part in reducing the
consumption of wheat flour, the con
sumers of the cointry are called upon,
iu purchasing such flour, to buy at the
same time an equal weight of the oth,
er cereals (cornmeal, corn starch,
corn flour, hominy, corn grits, barley
flour, rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled
oat, buckwheat flour, potato flour,
sweet potato flour, soya bean flour
and feterita flours and meals). The
housewife may use these products
separately in making bread, cakes and
pastry, or mix them as she thinks
best.
"Retailers are to seel wheat flour
only with an equal weight of these
other cereals.
"2. Consumers will be able to ob
tain mixed cereal bread from their
bakers, who will be required under the
license regulations to mix 5 per cent
of other cereals with their wheat,

be required gradually to increase this

which will be known as Victory bread
i and will contain not less tl'an 20 per
j cent of cereals other than wheat,
i Graham or whole wheat bread will
j also be given that name, because con
I taining, as they do, 25 per cent more
j of the wheat grain than ordinary
I white bread, they, too, will serve the
j purpose of saving wheat flour.
"If you bake bread at home use
wheat substitutes; if you buy it buy
only Victory bread.
Less Wheat in Spaghetti.
"3. Manufacturers of macaroni,
spaghetti, noodles, crackers, breakfast
foods, pies, cakes and pastiy and not
to purchase to exceed 70 per cent of
the wheat flour they used during the
corresponding months of Y)7. These
manufacturers will be performing a
patriotic service by usintf cereals
other than wheat in their productions.
"4. Wholesalers will be required
under license regulations not to buy
more than 70 per cent of their pur
chases of flour from milleri as based
on their purchases for the correspond-
jng months ot tne preceding year,
and their sales to the retail trade must
be in. the proportion of one pound of
wheat flour to one poun-i of other
cereals, this being the same propor
tion in which the retailer sells to the
consumer, unless the wholesaler sat
isfies himself that the substitutes have
been already purchased from another
source.
"A ruling has been made that in
making any combination sates under
this progrm dealers shall name a price
for each of the articles so sold, which
shall not represent more than a nor
mal pre-war profit on any one of the
articles sold.
"5. Millers of flour are to-tfistribute
their output through their customary
channels and markets in such a man
ner that each city, town and district
may receive its usual proportions. The
wheat millers have been required to
produce one barrel of flour (196
pounds) from 264 pounds of wheat.
This is a white flour and represents
from 2 to 4 per cent higher extrac
tion than from last year's harvest.
New Wheatless Jay.
"6. To assist further in conserva
tion, Monday and Wednesday of each
week are to be observed as wheatless
days and one meal of each day as a
wheatless meal. This applies both in
the home and in, the public eating
place, and on such days and meals
no crackers, pastries, macarcni.
breakfast food, or other cereals con
taining wheat should be used. The
only exception to this is such small
amounts of flour as may be needed
for thickening soups or gravies, or as
a binder in corn bread or other cereal
breads.
7. On wheatless days and at wheat
less meals, the food administration
urges that bread baked in the home
be other than wheat bread. Where
bread is purchased in public eating
places or in the home Victory bread
should be used, if no wheat substi
tutes can be found.
"The federal food administrator in
each state will announce the meal to
be observed as a wheatless meal in
his state. If no meal is designated
the United States fool administrator
prefers that the evening meal be
wheatless.
"B. It is further desired, in order
that meat and pork products be con
served, that one meatless day (Tues
day) in every week, and one meatless
meal in every day, be observed, and
in addition, two porkless days (Tues
day and Saturday) in every week, be
strictly kept. By Watless' is meant
without hog, cattle or sheep products.
On other days use mutton and lamb
in preference to beef or pork. By
porkless, is meant without pork, ba
con, ham, lard or pork products,
fresh or preserved. Use fish, poultry,
and eggs.

ceptions are necessary application
should be made to the state food ad
