u. S. WILL REGULATE
WAR PRICES ON FOOD

Federal regulation of food prices for
the period of the war. at least will be
assured through the enactment by Con-
gress of a measure for which special
subcommittee of the Senate Committee
subcommittee consists of Senators Gore,
of Oklahoma: Smith, Of Georgia; Smith.
Of South Carolina; Page, of Vermont, and
Kenyon, Of Iowa.
THIS committee will confer with the
representatives OF the Department Of
Agriculture with regard to the formula
ton of legislation to meet the general
food situation in the United States. Its
first function, however, will be the pre-
paration of bill which will be introduc-
ed in the Senate at once providing for
the taking of a nationwide food census.
This was the scheme advocated by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Houston before the
Senate Agriculture Committee on Mon
day. The cost of such a census. Secre-
tary Houston then told the committee.
would be not less than SIS ,ooo0 The
bill is expected to carry this amount as
an appropriation for that purpose.
In the general scheme OF food control
there is every reason to expect that maxi
mum and minimum food prices will be
established by the government for the
period Of the war. The necessity for
setting maximum prices 1t is felt. Is al
most self-explanatory. The setting Of
minimum prices. however, is for the pro-
lection of the farmers against loss
through over-production.

ace that England has taken and de-
stroyed more U-boats than Is generally
known. However. the policy OF the Brit
ish admiralty is not to give out figures
on her submarine chasing, and this re-
strtction on his discussion was observed
to the letter.
Admiral de Chair declared ne did not
think 1t possible for German submarines
to operate successfully on the Amercan
side OF the Atlantic unless she had
U-boat base in these waters.
''Of course" he said. she may send
over some for advertising purposes, but
they are not practicable this far away
without bases.
Germany undoubtedly is withdrawing
men from her feet in the Kiel Canal TO
man her submarines. We have had re-
ports that the crews have to be driven
TO their stations in the submarines at
pistol point, Some Of the crews undoubt-
edly have gone insane from their eN-
periences uider the water. The men
themselves do not like it."
Admiral de Chair would not venture an
opinion on the number of submarines
which Germany now is operating. Little
definite information Is at hand as to how
fast she is building her U-bosts. Two
or three a week" he said, was the gist
Of reports reaching the admiralty
The British commander told an
amusing story OF how sptly British fish
ermen and small sailormen take to hunt

The needs of Italy, as regards coal,
were laid before the government yester-
day. It appears that Italy's coal supply
is almost completely exhausted. Italy
wants the United States to establish a
big credit for her here. so that she may
buy coal to keep her ships and her
munitions factories running. 1t has been
proposed that the German merchant
ships shall be made into coal transports
to rush fuel to italy.
Members Of the French mission told
government officials yesterday that
France wants the United States 10 ar
range credits for her wherever she has
occasion to purchase supplies. This
would mean the establishment of the
largest credit in the United States, but
would also mean the payment for France
Of bills due English supply sources and
some neutrals. The same proposal Is eX-
pected to be made on behalf of Italy.
