A great internally committee will be
appointed to sit here and apportion our
foodstocks for export and for domestic
consumption according to the edgencles
of the war and of shipping.
I'VE will probably need to undertake
the control of the purchasing in this
country on their behalf" said Mr. Hoov-
er, referring to the allies "and on behalf
of such neutral shipments as are per-
mitted by the government in order to
eliminate competition and the forcing up

probably will depend upon the French
for artillery protection.
Taking the place of the three artillery
regiments and the cavalry regiment,
which are component parts of the usual

yesterday from a visit to New York He
was busy at the War Department going
over plans for his command and select
ing his headquarters staff The date of
still uncertain. while no intimation has
been given when the first regiments of
his command will embark The transpor-
tatiOn of the marine re-enforcements will
be handled by the Navy Department but
once they reach French soil they will

will be accompanied by enEineers-the
pioneers of the trenches-signal corps

telephone work, and probably a battalion
of thirty-two aeroplanes
The order dispatching marines TO
France was little less OF a surprise than
the Presidents decision that an American
expedition should be sent overseas i'm
mediateIy.
In being among the first on the firing
line in France the marines will be up
holding their historic record" said Sec
retary OF the Navy Daniels Gen. Bar
nett and other officers of the CORDS are
delighted that the soldiers Of the sea
are to be sent to the front.
ut was United States marines who first
hoisted the American flag on foreign soil
when, in 1905, at Derno. Tripoli, the ma
rines, under Lieut.. O'Bannon, stormed
that stronghold
Marines stormed Chapultepec in the
Mexican war in 1s47: they were at the
first battle Of Bull Run in the civil war;
a mere handful of them stood of 6,O0o
Spaniards at Guantanamo, Cuba, in June,
1895, several weeks before the army land

to enter Pekin during the Boxer uprising

none of them suited him. When the
shopkeeper turned to show him vet an

ear with one OF Stockett's own axes and
left him lying in his blood. Stockett died
few days later in Emergency Hospita,

to lock the door to make still better his

Henrietta Wolf. who lives in the same
neighborhood, also saw the assaiIant
leaving the store just before she went in
and found Stockett's body
The police say that Stockett's murderer
lifted 4 watch from his victim and later
sold 1t under terms which made its re-
purchase possible at any time The
police discovered the watch and framed
an agreement with the new owner, whose
name they withhold.
They waited for nearly four years for
the negro TO come back to get the time

AMERICA MAY SHUT OFF
COAL FROM ARGENTINA
Step Likely in Retaliation for Renewal
Of Embargo on Wheat for Allies.

A coal embargo against Argentina by
the United States was a possibility fore
cast in official circles yesterday after
noon as a result OF a renewed embargo
on wheat shipments to the allies by the
South American government.
Argentina had previously declared a
wheat embargo on the ground of a short
crop due first to drought and later 10
British tonnage had been Withdrawn
from other routes to transport the Ar
gentine wheat. and the service was badly
disorganized at a time when every ton
of shipping was vitality needed. Argen-
tina, on the representations OF Great
Britain and the United States, later modi-
fed her embargo.
Investigation by the State Department
determined that at the time there was
good ground for her embargo. although
the circumstances OF il were unfortunate.
Improvement in grain conditions how
ever. had led 10 the belief that il would
not be necessary to restore It. and for
this reason a new inquiry is being made
to determine what influences are behind
the Argentine action.
II these are found to be suspicious
there is good ground for the statement
that the United States will retaliate by
diverting coal shipments from Argentine
ports. where they are vitality required for
shipping and manufactures and so bring
her to terms.
England previously had taken such ac-
tion before the entrance of this govern
ment into the war
