Federal allowances for soldiers’ dependents are proposed, while a Rankin of Montana bill addresses wartime relief. The food administration asks every person to cut daily meat by one ounce to conserve supplies. A Chinese democracy is reported, with Keng Kue Ching named president of a provisional government after the Manchu emperor’s ouster.
