'Washington, Feb. 23.-The National
German-American Alliance was pic-
tured before a senate judiciary sub-
committee today by Gustavus Ohlin- 
ger, a Toledo, Ohio, lawyer, as a cov-
er for German propaganda in the
United States. Mr. Ohlinger was the
first witness at hearings on the bill by
Senator King of Utah to revoke the
charter of the Alliance and wind up
its affairs and those of its state or-
ganizations.
Used Propaganda
Mr. Ohlinger said the operation of
the organization in the United States
is similar to the propaganda system by
which Germany brought Austria un-
der its complete dominance. He de-
clared that much of his testimony was
based on information taken from lit-
erature sent to members.
Preceding the national political con-
vention in 1916, the witness said, the
Alliance worked against the renomi-
nation of President 'Wilson and urged
its members to aid in bringing about
the defeat of Theodore Roosevelt for
the Republican nomination both on
the theory that neither favored a
"strict neutrality" and that both were
opposed to German interests in this
country.

PENNELL DRAWINGS
SHOWN THIS WEEK
Judging by attendance, members of
the faculty and students do not seem
to be aware of the fact that the fa-
mous collection of Pennell drawings
which have arisen so much interest all
over the country, and to which crowds
have flocked in every city in which
they have been exhibited, are now at
Memorial hall. They are not onlyof
interest from the point of art, but
from the point of view of the war. Mr.
Pennell has traveled about this coun- I
try and England and has sketched
the scenes and activities that appealed
to his artistic sense and imagination.
In addition to these drawings there -
are 20 exquisite scenes by Albert Sea-
ford, original drawings of his books.
"Boston-Its Byways and Highways,"
"Old Seaport Towns of New Eng-
land," "Rambles in Old College Towns,
and others." According to those who
have seen them, they are the most
c
beautiful and striking drawings everd
exhibited in Ann Arbor. Mr. Seaport
is not so well known here as in Bos-
ton and New England, where he made
c
a reputation for himself as sketch
artist on the Boston Globe. His draw-
ings have been displayed in Toledo, t
Buffalo, Boston, and other large cit-
ies, and have always received enthu-
siastic mention. This exhibition will
be open from 2 to 4 o'clock during the
present week. The exhibition is free
to all members of the Art Association,
and 10 cents to others.

others are the Modder bakery, the
Quality bakery, and the Greek bakery.
Mr. G. Frank Allmendinger, secre-
tary and treasurer of the Ann Arbor
City Milling company, said that after
the government orders for export are
filled, he will have about 100 or 200
barrels of flour for local distribution.
This, together with small amounts
that are being procured from the Sa-
line Milling company, will relieve the
shortage until large shipments now
on the way, arrive.
Other Mills Affected
Another milling company in this
vicinity has been ordered to close, ac-
cording to definite reports received
today, due to the fact that they- have
already consumed the amount allow-
ed them. Other mills are being or-
dered to discontinue operation fpr the
same reason. -
As a war necessity the people must
largely refrain from eating wheat
flour for the next 60 days, at least,
This statement was made yesterday on
the authority of Federal Food Admin-
istrator Hoover, by Howard Heinz,
administrator for Pennsylvania. Mr.
Hoover made it plain that this country
must immediately send food to the
Allies or lose the war.
Transportation Problem Settled
In a-letter to Mr. Hoover, Director-
General McAdoo said: "I wish to re-
assure the country that as far as
transportation is concerned there is
no danger of suffering from a serious
food shortage."
At present two large shipments are
on the way for local dealers; one of
350 barrels and the other for 300 bar-
rels.
"The latest measure restricting the
wheat flour has been adopted," said
Administrator Hoover, "because it is
the only way by which necessary
wheat saving can be effected. With-
out the help of all the people the food-
cannot be sent .o the Allies. If it is
not sent, it means but one thing -
catastrophe."
