The food situation vas presented
by Herbert c. Hoover. who will be
named food administrator. The
country, he said. faces a val that
probably will last from two to five
years.
The allies grain needs this year,
Mr.. Hoover said. will amount TO
about 1000, 000, 900 bushels. Amer
and Canada, with increased crops,
can furnish so per cent of this with
out deprivation. but the allies must
have, he declared at least so per
cent.
Secretary Lane, in setting forth
the purpose of the United States in
entering the war, said:
we are fighting feudalism. The
German ruler is willing to go to any
length to see a feudalistic system es-
ta%blished. Our interest as a nation
and as a democratic people is #involv-
ed in the war. The power that would
do things that have been done would,
if England were conquered, demand
Canada, and we would live in haunt
ing fear the rest of our Lives.
Secretary Baker declared the out
come of this war would show wheth-
er the world is really progressing.
Every of the allies. Mr..
Baker said, was nea exhaustion
when the United States entered the
war. There is no way to secure per-
manent peace, he declared, except
through exercise of the superior pow
er of the United States.

TAKEN At ABERDEEN
IOWA YOUNG MEN ACCUSED OF
KIDNAPPING GIRLS.

Aberdeen, May 2S.-Stoutly claim
ing innocence of the charge that they
kidnapped or ran away with Viola and
Mabel Hanna, girl chums of their
home town." Howard and Fred
Compton, brothers, of Lacey. Ia. are
occupying cells in the city Jail here
awaiting the arrival of Sheriff Hen
ley of Mahaska county, La.
The brothers were arrested by
Chief of Police Coacher yesterday
where they had taken their automo-
bile. The arrest followed the receipt
of a letter by the local police stating
that the two boys were headed for
this city and would probably call for
mail at the local postoffice.
A few weeks ago the police re-
ceived a picture of the young brother
and the two girls and notice of $25
reward for the detention of the boys.
who, it is said. induced the girls to
leave home with them with promises
of an easy life, money and fine
clothes. They left home April %.
according to the Iowa authorities.
The girls are now at Newton. Ia,
where, ii is claimed, the boys left
them, fearing detection If they trav-
eled further together.
The boys admit they are Comp
tons, of Lacey. Ia, but claim they
have not seen the Hanna girls since
leaving home.
They were merely on a pleasure
trip, they assert and had motored to
Denver, then up into Montana, and
were on their way home when arrest
ed here. Fred is rs years Of age
and Howard is 10. The girls are
l8 and 16.
1t is not likely a charge OF white
slavery will be pressed against them
as 1t is not believed they left the
state in company OF the girls.
They attempted to trade their au-
tomobile here for motorcycles, the
police say. In their car they carried
a complete camping outfit and two
rifles.
