He introduced a resolution making acr.ilitary and naval bills preferred legislation for the rest of the session. ^Tfcey are at present submerged beneath masses of special and non-es?<cntial bills, he said. One example is tfcat the naval appropriation bills will feave to wait its turn under present Tilans. until the rivers mil lurbors bill is acted on. Rahn is to onp^r tomorrow before the "hor~-> r l^s committee in support t>f his resolution. .Significance of Kahn's action lie* in the fact that, aitnougn a nepuui' " an, 'he is the actual representative -of the administr" '*vi in matters of Hie first military importance. -He is to take charge of the administration's :i ill fixing qi:ot- s for the next draft, to the opposition to it of Chairman Dent, of the military committee. This repeats the experience of the original draft act which Dent oprosed. "Tonight Kahn declared that the Tfi-nltorl Sl-ntoc! rrnst hpp'irj nf OtlC'P f"> send an army to France of 8.000.000 vnen.

"Our plan now is to carry out the first draft acr,, there is no plans for the future. We have authorized the raising of 1,612,24." men by the draft; that is all. "I expect that when Secretary Baker returns from Europe, after haring seen the magnitudte and the intensity of the struggle there, he will appear before congress and the nation with a demand for a vatsly greater military establishment than has so! frbeen dreamed of. "If lie did not. he would be the first man who hrs seen the fighting who was not imediat^l.v convertel. "My impression is that plans for making the army greater will await his return. But bills to perfect the present machine should be passed at once." The war department and congress ?.re still deadlocked over terms of the next draft legislation. The war department insist that men shall be drawn from the various local districts in proportion to the registrants in class one. Rural legislators are fighting this. "Members are treating this legisla- j tion as if we were going to draw: about 3CK).000 men,'* said Kahn. j question whether their district shall j be called on to give a certain number] I of men. or a few dozen or hundreds I more than that, is uppermost in their j minds. "The country would better remem-; ber that, before we win this war. we j will have all able-bodied men on the j firing line.

National Food Administration Is anxious to impress the message of : conservation to ttie utmost. The peo- , pie of the country at large do not ap- . predate the demand for wheat. The : Food Administration at Washington has stressed the situation in this n?- ( tion wide proclamation: ! "If we are to furnish the allies with the necessary proportion or wneat to , maintain their war bread from now j until the next harvest, and this is a , military necessity, we must reduce i our monthly consumption to twenty- j one million bushels a month as against I our normal consumption of about for- j' ty-two million bushels or fifty per cent ! of our normal consumption, reserving ] a margin for distribution to the army j and for special cases, leaves for gen-; eral consumption approximately on? , and one-half pounds of wheat products , weekly per person. Many of our cua tomers are dependent upon bakers' bread, such bread must be durable, ! and therefore requires a larger pro j portion of wheat products than cereals j baked in the household. Our army i and navy requires a full allowance, j The well to do in our population can | make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wh^at products than caa | the poor. To effect the needed sav- j ings of wheat, we are wholly deepnd- i ent upon the voluntary assistance of ' the American people, and we do ask j that the following rules be observed: ; "First, householders to use not to | exceed a total of one and one-half ! pounds per week of wheat products | per person.This means not. more than ' one and three-fourths pounds of Vic- j torv bread containing the required j percentage of substitutes and about < one-half pound of cooking flour, maca- i roni. crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, : wheat breakfast cereals all com- j bined. "Second, public eating houses and i clubs to observe two wheaileas days j per week. Monday and Wednesday, as at present. In addition thereto not to ! serve in the aggregate total of mor? breadstuffs, macaroni, crackers, pan- j try, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast ce- i reals, containing a total of more than j two ounces of wheat flour to any one : gruest at any one meal.

We also ask bakers not to increase th? amount of their wheat flour purchas- . ed beyond seventy per cent of the average monthly amount, purchased in the four months prior to March first. "Fifth, manufacturers using wheat products for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely. "Sixth, there is no limit upon tha I nse of other cereals, flours, and meals, corn. barley, buckwheat, potato flour, etc. Many thousand families throughout the land are now using 110 wheat products whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes and are doing so in perfect, health and satisfaction.

USE MORE IRISH POTATOES ? In Order That They Will Not Overw lap New Crop. Columbia.?South Carolina can help r?ry materially now in the oonservar tion of wheat by using Irish potatoes. The produce people report to the food ^ministration at Columbia that there are unusual quantities of excellent Irish potatoes on hand In this state for immediate use. It is important that these Irish potatoes be used so that they will not overlap into the new rrop. and beoaus? they are the h^st available substitute for wheat. Potatoes are universally liked. The food administration has been assured that Irish potatoes can be bought, at very reasonable prices from all local markets, and if th*\v cannot be had the food administrator at Columbia would be please dto be advised so that any deficient market can be supplied. Potatoes are an acceptable ^ubsti. tnte for bread. A pound of baked potatoes i3 equal in nutritive value to seven ounces of bread. Use the per isbable potato as a wbeat and as a bread substitute.
