FOOD ADMINISTRATORS HERBERT HOOVER ABOUT TO START NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR CONSERVATION OF FOOD THAT WE MAY
 WIN THE WAR AND HELP OUR ALLIES

taken to improve our national handling of foodstuffs and to hold in check the forces of speculation and avaricious- ness.
 We are imbued with a desire, not only from an immediate point of view but in the long run as supporting the very essence of democracy, that all of the above measures shall be accom- plished to the last degree by voluntary effort among the people themselves. and our greatest service will be to stimulate it to action. If this can be accomplished, we shall have demon. strated the ability of democracy to defend itself through it's own instinct of organization for if it cannot rise to this situation, it will have proved it. self a faith which cannot endure in competition with the forces of auto- cracy.
 To guide the public mind in these channels, we are wholly and absolute ly dependent upon the press of the country. If we dc not receive this support, the problem is hopeless. If we do have it, it can be solved.
 I am therefore addressing you per sonally to enlist the continuance of the support which you have given us to date and ask for the devotion of space to the material which we shall send in the course of few days. believe this material is of distinct news and national importance, and we shall disclose for the first time the ac- tual food situation of the world, back ed by statistics and figures, for we believe that we must first prove the case and then we must trust to the guidance of the press of the country to secure the awakening of the nation al conscience to the dominant idea of food administration. That Is, I re- iterate, that we are faced with world shortage of food and with the necessity to feed our Allies on scale hitherto undreamed of, and we must protect our own people If we are to win the war.
 August 10, 1917.
 Faithfully yours, HERBERT HOOVER.

S. S. MARIPOSA is SUNK

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 19.-De-
.ails were lacking today regarding
he sinking last night of the Alaska
passenger steamer Mariposa after it
grounded early yesterday on Straits
island, Sumner Straits, near Wrangel
Alaska. Last night reports said the
PIG passengers were taken to Wran-
gel. The Mariposa, considered one
Of the finest boats in the Alaska
service, was owned by the Alaska
Steamship company. She was YES
sci of 3,158 tons gross and was 331
feet long. She was probably groun-
ded in the fog, it was believed here.
Fogs on the Inside passage have lur-
ed scores of vessels onto the reefs
since the Alaska gold stampede in
1898. A peculiar incident was that
the Mariposa last week rescued the
survivors of the wrecked steamer
Manhattan. The Mariposa was for
merly on the San Francisco-Hono-
lulu run. She was valued at nearly
ST 100000. She was partly insured.
A later report stated that it was
thot that the Mariposa could be re-
paired and floated again unless a
storm completely wrecked her. 1t
was said that though she was COM
pletely submerged at high tide she
was nearly half out of the water at
low tide.
