FRENCH RATIONS
CUT ACCOUNT
WHEAT
Washington, April 30. *— Informa
tion that the bread raton of the
French, soldiers wbo are facingi the
onslaught of Germany's armies has
been, cut because of the shortage of
wheat has led the food administra
tion to plan drastic measures to
curb hoarding in this countrjr.
Wherever there is evidence to
support a suspicion that the with
holding of food on. which, may de
pend.' the outcome of the war is due
to disloyalty or profiteering, It was
said tonight, prompt action will be
taken.
State administrators have been re*
mlnd<ed that the food law authorizes
the requisitioning of gran la the
national emergency and have been
asked to be diligent la their lu
vestigation of alleged cases of hoard
ing. Thejr will forward the evi
dence obtained to Washington,
where steps will be tAken as the
individual cases warrant.
Wheat for the allies becomes
more imperative as the season, pro-'
gresses, because of the big losses in
shipping corn or potatoes after April
1, where the perod of germination
set§ in. Up to March 15 the Unit
ed States was 800,000 tons be
hind in its progTami of cereal ex
ports. Much of the program was
to have been corn, but the break
down In railroad transportation de
layed- shipment, so that wheat which
pariier in the year had been given
priori*}-, had to be sent abroad to
avert famine.
As only wheat and barley cant
be shipped* after April 1, the pub
lic is being asked to cut its con
sumption of wheat to 50 percent, of
normal and even that sacrifice bare
ly will stretch, supplies to meet the
demand, unless evry bushl held? on
farms and in warehouses is put
