HOOVER URGES PASSAGE
OF FOOD CONTROL MEASURE
Does Not Want to Regulate the Eating
OF Individuals-GO Says There
Is No Labor Shortage.
international News Service.)


WASHINGTON, June 19.-Herbert
F. Hoover appeared before the senate
today to urge the passage of the food
control bill now pending before con-
gress. Since no assistance can be eX-
pected from Argentine before next
March, the allies must depend on
America for aid. By ordinary effort
the United States can produce sixty
per cent of what the allies need, and
the rest must be supplied by rigid
economy. The chief cause of high
prices, he said, is future contracts for
dealers. The most disastrous thing
that could happen, he said, would be
to allow the allies the unrestricted
run of our markets, which would in
duce them to desist for the most rigid
economy and would take all our sup
plies. He said that the committee
had no intention of trying to regulate
individual eating.
Samuel Gompers in letter to Con
gressman Baker today said that there
was no shortage of labor in any gen
eral industry. He said that the unions
we're ready for any emergency but
would maintain their standards.
For the first time in history the
United States today passed a billioI
dollar mark in disbursements in ex
cess of those of a corresponding pc
riod of previous fiscal years. To dat'
the expenditures are $1,SS6, 6,S80,127.

Edelblute yesterday, land / should like
to see the people of the community as
sist in getting them. Last spring, for
reasons which were perfectly sound,
but which do not care to discuss, the
war department temporarily stopped
recruiting at time when the several
companies had reached peace strength.
Later, they wished to again begin re-
cruiting but in the meantime the i'm
preston had gone abroad that recruit
ing had been stopped so that it was
not again resumed with that enthu-
siasm which had marked it's earlier
stages. Consequently, the regiment is
375 men shy at this time. l should be
glad to see local civic organizatiins
take the matter up and am sure t2at
the number of men required can be
secured Many offered to join after
recruiting stopped and with the prop
er effort the number can be raised"

ASK CLERK To AID
IN GETTING COUPLE
Mount Rainier Carnival to Have
Marriage as Feature.

Clerk Kroll. of the marriage license
bureau in Washington, has been APP
pealed to by II. B. Matchett, chairman
OF publicity for the Mount Rainier
carnival, TO aid in securing a marriage
ceremony for the carnival some night
next week. Mr. Knoll has promised
to call the offer to the attention of
couples applying for licenses to wed.
Prospective brides and grooms still
have one more week in which to ac-
cept the offer OF the Mount Rainier
carnival of a purse of gold to any
couple wanting to be married under
attractive and unique circumstances.
As result OF an advertisement pub
lished in The Washington Herald, Mr..
Matchett has already received two ap-
plications for the privilege OF being
welded at the carnival-one from a
near-bridegroom and the other from
a prospective bride. The near-bride
writes Mr.. Matchett as follows:
Il would consider it an honor to be
married at the Mount Rainier carnival
if / could get the consent of my fiance
who lives at Annapolis. 1 do not look
on marriage as seriously as some girls
might. know my future husband
loves me and will make me happy"
The would-be bridegroom who wrote
Mr.. Matchett in answer to the adver-
tisement in The Herald II developed
last night did so prematurely. for on
inquiry IL was found that the young
lady had not been consulted.

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES
TO SUPPLY SMOKES
Pennsylvania Trainmen Will Re-
member Bows at the Front.

Every Pennsylvania railroad man
who goes to France with the army.
who joins the Marine Corps, or en-
lists In the navy, will, from time to
unexpectedly as often as once a
month-receive from another Pennsyl-
Yania railroad man, at home, a pack
ase of tobacco and cigarettes. Each
pakage will contain a self-addressed
postcard from the employee whose con-
trlbution provided the gift.
This arrangement has been made
possible by the establishment of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Tobacco Fund.
More than 40 employees of the lines
cast Of Pittsburgh have already en-
listed. Some of them are in France
now; others are on their way; the
remainder are preparing 10 go. The
object of the fund is to maintain
personal contact. and the spirit OF
fellowship, between those who go
and those who stay.
Every contribution Of % cents pro-
vides for a package of smokes
which would cost 4j cents retail, at

cited from the State Department yes
terday on this phase of the question.
at will be remembered that the
Swedish foreign minister. in his Of
ficlal statement with regard to the
Luxburg kilograms, said:
The American minister here dur
ing the present year asked for, and
received, leave to send to and from
Turkey, letters and kilograms, and
this al a time when Turkey had not
yet gone to war with the United
States and its interests had not yet
been taken over by the Swedish rep
resentative in Constantinople.'
Mr.. Ira Wilson Morris, the American
Minister to Sweden, states that the
Sw edish government was not requested
to forward any kilograms before April
10. or some time later. Mr.. Morris
had at the direction of the Depart
ment of State, inquired whether the
Swedish government would be will
ing to assume charge of American in
terests in Turkey in case of rupture.
The Swedish government required that
all kilograms which were to be for
warded by Swedish officials for the
United States to and from Constants
nople should be delivered in French to
the foreign office at Stockholm, or the
Swedish legation at ConstantinOpIe,
and there put into the Swedish cipher
for transmission. The innocuous con-
tents of these messages was therefore
in every instance entirely clear TO
the transmitting agents.

At the time of the letter which re-
yeals these things, the United States
had not yet entered the war. The
United States was then in the hot

1t was just at this time. March,

The State Department refuses to
connect the German-Swedish aCtivi-
ties with the Mexican assaults
against the United States. But every

No official would say last night that

Today's exposure may result in a
break between Mexico and Germany.
Senior BonilIa, Mexican minister here
now, was in March, 1915, minister of
Public Works and Communications
