He read the riot act to the violators and wouM-ce transgres-sors of the hoarding act. Mr. Page turned the meeting into a Methodist mass-meeting and called tor peni-tants. It was freely admitted that there-] had been many infractions of the law regarding the hoarding of food in the county, but no individuals were bawled out., Quite a number of tobacco and cotton, farmers, ac-cording to their custom, in this sec-tion, "but now contrary to the law, laid In a year's supply of flour when they sold their cotton and tobacco at enormous profits.

Mr. Page explained in a perfectly good-humored way the necessity laid upon Americans for the next six months to live on half rations at least as far as wheat was concerned. He made a strong appeal to the pa-triotism and to the religious im-pulses of his audience io co-operate with the administration in feeding our allies and the neutral nations who would) perish K*we did not send them food.

One Petrograd journal declares that Austria-Hungary alread/ has offered to conclude a separate peace with Russia regardless of Germany. The breach between Russia and Rumania meanwhile is broadening.
