"Count Czernin 's offer to rpn negotiations with Wilson endangers Germany's life and in- V 0 L, terests,' said Count Von Reventlow, foremost advocate of Prus sianism. "We do not trust Czernin," said the Taglische Rund sehau. The newspaper, Die Post, heads its violent attack on the Austria-Hungarian minister ''Czernin's Fraternal Kiss for Wil son." .

The following is the text of President Wilson's proclamation on food con servation: "Many causes have contributed to create the nec essity for a more intensive effort on the part of our peo ple to save food in order that we may supply our asso ciates in the war with the sustenance vitally necessary to thorn in those days of privation and stress. The re duced productivity of Europe, because of the largo di version of man power to the war, the partial failure of harvests and the elimination of the. more distant mar kets for foodstuffs through the destruction 0f shipping, places the harden of their subsistence very largely on our shoulders. "The food administration has formulated sugges tions whieh.if followed, will enable us to moot this groat responsibility, without any real nconvenienee on our jxart. WHEAT IS NECESSARY "In order that we may reduce our consumption of wheat and wheat products by thirty per cent a reduc tion imperatively necessary to provide the supply for overseas wholesalers, jobbers and retailers should pur chase and resell to their customers1 only seventy per cent of the amounts used in 1917. All manufacturers of alimentary pastes, biscuits, crackers, pastry and breakfast cereals should reduce their purchases and consumption of wheat, and wheat flour, t 70 per cent of t:.oir normal requirements, and all all bakers of bread and rolls to SO por cent of their current re.iiir lii' tits. Consumers should reduce their purchases of v ': ;ii hvik'hcn for home preparation to at most 70 p"i cent ef those of last year, or.wheii huying bread .should ;"'!-H'v - I i e-re.-! l.r-ad- from the linkers. !'! siilbeiept e.-iv.d food, ho!ii". public eating !."'e-, di ;i!-r, and lnamil'.-irtuivr-- should substitute po '.vUu 1 y "i taliles, eni'ii 'i;f!e-, oats .''"(' !'!('' products a';d tile ll'ixed l.e,i.l ;,;id other products el' the lv 1 " w 1 1 ; ' ! i coii'a.u an aduiivture of other cereals. TWO WHEATLESS DAYS "In oi-der tint ci nsuuuition may be restricted to thi- extent. Moit.'ays and Wednesdays, should be ob served a whe;itle-s davN4-w-4, and one meal each day should he observe as a wheatless meal. "In both homes and public eating places, in order to reduce, the consumption of beef, pork and sheep pro duets, Tuesday should be observed as meatless day In each oek, one meatless meal should be observed in each day; while, in addition, Saturday in each week should further be observed as a day upon which there should be no consumption of pork products. "A continued economy in the use of sugar will be necessary until later in the year. "It is imperative that all waste and unnecessary I nmmnrrmtion of all sorts of foodstuffs should be rigidly 1 eliminated. URGES SUBSTITUTION "The maintenance of the health and strength of our own people is vitally necessary at this time, and there should be no dangerous restriction of the food supply; but the elimination of every sort of waste and the substitution 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 the most pressing ob ligations, of the war. . "J, therefore, in the national interest, .take" the li berty of calling upon every loyal American tp take fully to heart the suggestions which are being circulated by the food administration and of begging that they be followed. 1 urn confident that the great body of our wo men who have labored so loyally in co-operation with the food administration for the success of food conser vation will strengthen their efforts and will take it as a part of their burden in this period of national service in see that the above suggestions are observed through out the land.

Declaring that every man uj he thirty two National Guard and National Army camps is moir; aedy to be sent to France whenever needed, Secretary of Wm iaker today struck back at the critics of the War Departmeai, In this sweeping statement delivered before the Sonata Military Committee he showed the great steps that this govern ment has taken. Some of them have been necessarilr sudden- w md hence without sufficient preparation, in order to win i4 war. I t In reply to those who have criticised the war governmcml ie shot back the following: HSjj "Laxity in medical service at camps will not be tolerat ed: "The officers have been courtmartialed and dismissed from the army who were negligent in attending the sick; "(Jeiieral Pershing himself O.
