FOOD BILL
A Senate agreement to vote on Pres-
dent Wilson's food control bill on July
q, five weeks after its submission TO
Congress as an urgent war measure,
was followed today by issuance from
the White House of detailed report by
Herbert G.. Hoover declaring that both
the farmers and the public are threat
ened with serious losses unless food con-
troll authority is given quickly to the
federal government.
Democratic senators secured the
agreement for vote only after they
had consented to strip the bill of some
of its more drastic features and framed
substitute, 1t would prohibit manu-
facture of distilled liquors, without pro-
vision for government purchase of eX-
listing stocks and would place in the
Presidents hands the power and re-
sponsibility to decide whether prohibit
ton shall be extended to beer and wine,
The substitute also provides that the
government control proposed shall be
| limited to foodstuifs, feed and fuel, the
original purposes of the legislation, and
not include steel, iron, cotton and many
other products added during congress
sional consideration. 1t would author
ize federal requisitioning and operation
of coal mines, limit federal licensing to
concerns engaged in handling or produc-
ing foodstuffs or fuel, authorize federal
purchase and sale at reasonable
prices Of foodstuifs and fuel, fix a
guaranteed minimum price of $l.50 per
bushe for wheat, and create salared
board of food administration subject to
Senate confirmation,

MEXICO THINKS OF WAR

Associated Press dispatches from ~
Paso, Texas, say that a we'll defined
movement in favor of Mexico entering
the war against Germany has spread
over Northern Mexico, notwithstand-
ing pro-Germen sentiments that are
published in some Of the subsidized
papers, Prominent MeXicans in close
touch with the capitol predict that
Mexico will declare war within 80 days,
whereupon all German money IN M!eSi'
can banks and German boats IN Mexican
ports would be seized, and all Germans
would either be interned or deported at
once, their properties being confsecated'
1--WE can do nothing in a military
way in Europe, said one Mexican
"But we can make Mexico safe for
the allied nationals and for their
properties. We can show our sym
pathy with the same cause for which
we have been fighting for the past six
years by aiding the allies in every way
even though we are unable to assist
materially in the war.

HOOVER FLAYs SPECTATORS

A report on the food situation pre-
pared for President Wilson by Herbert
C. Hoover holding that both the farmer
and the consuming public are suffering
while food spectators make unearned
paofts from the delay in enactment of
food control legislation was made pub
lie today.
Unless strong and efficient govern
inert action is Immediately taken, the
food administrator reported, the farm
ers will face a slump in wheat prices
and consumers will be caught in a
situation even more serious than that
which already is resulting in "actual
under-nourishment" in the great con-
suming centers The Spectator, it is
declared, is taking large part of the
prices now paid by consumers.
I'VE are practically helpless to safe
guard either the farmer or the con
sumer', concludes Mr. Hoover, until
the pending legislationis passed.

CONTROL OF EXPORTS

Government control Of American eX-
ports authorized in the espionage act
was ordered put into operation July 10
by President Wilson tonight by a proc
lamation requiring the licensing of ship
ments to all countries of the most I'M
portant commodities.
In a statement the president declared
the government will first consider
American needs; next, the requirements
of the allies and, lastly, the needs Of
neutral countries, 1t is made clear that
every effort will be made to see that no
supplies reach the central powers.
The commodities named in the list
put under control are coal, coke, fuel,
oils, kerosene and gasoline including
bunkers; food grains, flour and meal,
fodder and feeds meats and fats; pig
iron, steel billets, ship plates and
structural shapes, scrap iron and scrap
steel; ferro Manganese; fertilizers;
arms, ammunition and explosives,
The inclusion of foodstuffs lends color
to the statement that the admins
tration is considering complete en-
barge for 60 DAYS on all food shipments
to give the country time to ascertain
the amount of its supplies and to give
allied and neutral countries opportunity
to present fully their requirements.

CALL TO FOREIGN SERVICE

The last step necessary to make the
entire National Guard available for duty
in France was taken today by President
Wilson with the issue of a proclama-
ton drafting the state troops into the
army of the United States on August g.
To make certain that the troops of
the national defence act is carried out
the proclamation also specifically de-
clares the men drafted to be discharged
from the old militia status on that date.
In that way the constitutional restraint
upon use of militia outside the country is
avoided and the way paved for sending
the regiments to the European front.
