Instead, the Commission will advise the

Washington.-The entire problem
of food administration in the United
States throughout the war with Ger
many is to be placed in the hands or
Herbert C. Hoover, who lately re-
turned to this country after distin-
guished service as head of the Belgian
relief work
President Wilson announced than
all the broad powers essential to the
solution of the problem of feeding
the American nation and its alice
would be delegated to Mr.. Hoover,
who had consented to act only on the
provision that he would receive no
pay and that his assistants, likewise,
would serve without pay so far as
1t was possible to volunteer workers,
With the end of the war the powers
of the Hoover commission will cease.
Neither the President nor Mr..
Hoover desires the new position to be
known as a dictatorship. q have no
instinct to be food DICTATOR said
Mr.. Hoover my ambition is to see
my own people solve their own prob
lens"
The appointment of Mr. Hoover is
of course provisional on authorization
by Congress of an emergency food
commission with the extraordinary
powers asked by the President and
Mr.. Hoover's acceptance also was on
the assumption that Congress will see
fit to limit the powers which Mr.,
Hoover regards as vital to a success
full administration of the food sit
uatiOn.
President Wilson in statement
announcing his selection of Mr.
Hoover stated flatly that it was abso-
lutely necessary that unquestionable
authority be placed in his hands to
insure an effective solution Of the
problems which have arisen from the
universal shortage Of foodstuffs.
The President declared he is con.
fdent that exercise of the authority
granted will be necessary only "in the
few cases where some small and self.
ish minority proves unwilling to put
the nations interests above personal
advantage"
Among these powers as outlined by
the President are:
Prevention of boarding, requisition-
ing OF food supplies, establishment Of
maximum and minimum prices, IL
censing of agencies handling food
stuffs in any way and If regarded as
necessary taking them over for oper-
alton under Government supervision,
fixing milling percentages for the
manufacture of -four, authorizing the
mixture of other cereals with wheat
in the manufacture of flour and the
elimination of the waste of food
materials, as, for example, through
the prohibition or reduction of the
use of grains in the manufacture Of
liquor.

Judge Will G. Steele Oregon, who

"Forty-six years ago | was a

In its center was an island 1880

Perograd, Sept. Soldiers COM
mitteemen at the front, wiring the
Central Council of Soldiers and
Workmen's Deputies, charge the
Petrograd press with exaggerating
the cowardice of the Twelfth Army
and allege that the Riga catastrophe
has been overdrawn for the further
Gnce of a counter-revolutionar cam
paign. Committeeman Kouchina, at
tached to the Twelfth Army, tele-
graphed:
Officers confirm the courage of

made several counter-attacks."
In explaining the deserters throng-
ing the road eastward, he said it
was natural in a retreat for some
soldiers to become separated from
their regiments.
The correspondent of the Novoe
Vremya, answering these allegations,
relates a conversation with Gen.
Klembovski, commander on the West
ern front, to the effect that two in
fantry and two cavalry regiments
and all the artillery brilliantly per-
formed their duty, while one divis-
ion and two brigades of infantry I'M
fo,I al In
centage of the infantry threw away
their rifles and fed. He cited an
instance of deserters looting the mil
itary stores, adding that measures
had been taken to arrest the trait
ors. Six hundred deserters arriving
at Pskoff by train were arrested and
returned to the front.
As further evidence OF the demon
alization of the Russians, the CORES
pendent asserts that three regiments
of Germans crossed the Dvina at mid
day on pontoons without the loss of
man. He declares the infantry de-
serted the artillery and was deaf TO
the pleas of the latter 10 assist in re-
moving ammunition.
Military patrols are covering the
roads and arresting deserters. Bat
tiles between German cavalry and
Russian rear guards continue IN the
vicinity of Segevold, Pskof and
Chaussee. Gen. Klembovki is of the
opinion that the lull in the German
pursuit is temporary and that it is
likely to be resumed, but believes
that even if they succeed il reach
ing Pskoff before winter il will con-
stitute no great menace as that is
the utmost the enemy can hope to
attain.
