GRAIN DEMANDS
ARE TREMENDOUS
ENTENTE NATIONS WANT AL
MOST BILLION BUSHELS.
MORE THAN U.S,SUPPLY
FOOD CONTROLLER HOOVER
GIVES VIEWS ON SUBJECT.
Thinks This County Can Export G00,-
100000 Bushels of Wheat
This Season.

Washington, June 5.-The grain re-
auirements of the Allies and the Eu-
lrcpean neutrals were put at 971 ,0O0,-
OCO bushels-a total much greater
than the United States can supply, in
statement by Herbert c. Hoover to-
day, listing the minimum needs Of
each nation for human consumption
and for feed.
1T will, of course, be impossible"
said Mr.. Hoover, for North America
to furnish all of this quantity, al
though the major load must fall on
Us. In any event, it emphasizes the
necessity for control of our exports
to control prices and protect our sup
ply, and the necessity for conserva-
ton and the elimination of waste in
order to increase the volume of our
exports"
Mr.. Hoover believes the United,
States and Canada can export this
year at least 600,O0O,O0O bushels Of
grain. If the winter wheat crop i'm
proves ana the spring crop is larger
than normal he believes this may b.,
increased 70 S00,00O.00Q Shipment OF
that much grain, much of it wheat,
however, will force American consum-
ors to eat less wheat than usual and
eat more of other cereals. .
Coordination of Allied food pur.
chases will be established as soon as
the food bills and the export limita-
tions act become laws. At present the
Allies and neutral countries are pur-
chasing in large quantities for fu-
ture delivery. t65
There is no guarantee that all these
deliveries will be made, as this gov
ernment may hold up contracts to as
sure an adequate food supply at
home.

Washington, June 5.--In order that
the free government for which their
fathers died may not perish from the
Garth, or that democracy, which is
dearer than life itself, be effaced, ten
million young patriots today in
scribed their names on the honor roll
of their country.
Government officials were gratified
that the registration progressed
s,aoothly throughout the country. >un-
marred by riots or disturbances with
the exception of few isolated cases.
1t is believed that the humber of
young men registering will exceed the
estimates of the government.
A smaller number than anticipated
claimed exemption on account of de-
pendents, disability, religious scru-
rles, etc. Evasion of the law is be-
lieved to be negligible. Few arrests
were made in the country during the
day.
