Isn't that enough? Isn't it a heap
plenty as it We're? If not We could
quote extract after extract and col
umn after column OF disloyal rantings
from Socialist organs scattered all
over the nation, but what's the use
We might quote from Russell, Sinclair
and other leading Socialists, who have
repudiated their party as disloyal and
prof. German. Socialists VINO love their
country have quit and are quitting the
party if reports in the "Capitalist"
press be true. If the Socialist press
reflects the opinions and feelings of
such men as Mr.. Fraser we are going
to leave it to him and others whether
or not he is in harmony with this
country Always willing to be fair
we are even willing to suggest like
Mr. Fraser that the columns of the APP
peal to Reason and other Socialist or
gans be read for the evidence.

wheat IS CENTER
OF FOOD PROBLEM
Presidents Proclamation Making
Embargo Effective Expected.

Wheat is the key to the food prob
lem OF the United States. The food
problem Of the United States Is to
be the food problem of the world.
And wheat and all its prices are to
be handled without gloves by the food
administration. This great staple once
controlled, it Is believed that the other
food products will fall in line.
Already the wheat trade is Coop
Grating with Herbert c. Hoover.
Following stories which have been
printed from time to time as to various
radical steps contemplated here, Pres
ident Griffin, of the Chicago board
OF trade yesterday made public a
sketch Of the Hoover plan. While re-
GREETING that this statement has been
made. and insisting that the plan has
no effect until his administration
has been made official by Congress,
Mr.. Hoover at no time denied that
the plan was substantially true.
II will provide for control Of wheat
prices from the moment it Is sold
by the farmer to the time II reaches
the tables Of the pc ople Of the United
States and their allies. Buyer, dealer,
elevatorman. miller, distributor-all
will be under the direction Of the
food administration.
Meanwhile the machinery of the ex-
port council is being rapidly assem-
bled- II was oiled with an appropria-
ton Of $4,000 from the Presidents 8
emergency war fund yesterday after
noon. Secretary Redfield, the executive
officer Of the council, will be prepared
TO take up the matter OF exporters
licenses as soon as the President is
sues his proclamation. which is ex-
pected this morning.

GSudso Enter Jail.

To be thrown into intimate asso-
citation with women Of the under
world, thieves and petty criminals is
an experience that necessarily must
make an indelibIe impression upon
our memories. And to think that we
have undergone this for the sake of
the principle for which our forefathers
fought. bled and died, makes 1t all the
harder to grasp.
Upon our arrival at the jail, VIC
were ushered into the warden's Office,
where our names and pedigrees were
taken. Then we were turned over
to a matron and escorted to the first
tier OF cells. My heart seemed to
skip a beat or two as I glanced at
the long line of steel barred doors,
and for a moment 1 felt a sinking
sensation; then I glanced at Miss Ver-
non, who stood near me, and the
brave expression upon her face sted-
led me instantly.
We were ushered into adjoining
cells. and right here learned of a
touching little incident that had pre-
ceded our arrival. The women pri-
soners had discussed our coming and
decided We would prefer to be as near
each other as possible. So they asked
to be moved to other cells that we
might have six in a row.
When I entered my sell there was
queer little tugging at my heart
strings. 1 disposed of my toilet arti-
cles as best might with the limited
furnishings at hand and then received
my second little surprise since enter
ing the jail. The matron laughingly
informed US that we would not have
to undergo the humiliation OF being
forced to bathe. At the mention of
bath. 1 looked at the towels. They
were spotlessly clean, but the tex
ture-even a hardened suffragist''
would hesitate to rub her face with
one.
supper Il Served.
Fixing up" my room" passed
the time until supper was served. We
dined on shoulder. kale, bread and
tea. and although the service was not
such as might be looked for at a
first class hotel. We were in no mood
to kick. Our last meal had been
breakfast and 1t was now o'clock.

fight ON TO CREATE
AIR PLANE Committee
Administrations Huge Aero Pro,
gram Is Before Congress Today.

Backers OF the great aircraft pro-
gram Of the government in Congress,
defeated in their attempt to create a
separate aeronautical department, be-
cause of the opposition of Secretary
of War Baker and Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, have trained their guns
to force the creation Of powerful COM
mittees on aeronautics in both the
Senate and House.
This fight for the immediate ap-
pOintment of committee on aero
nautics in the House opens this morn
ing before the House Committee on
Rules, when witnesses will be heard
upon the resolution Of Representative
Murray Hubert, OF New York, for
naming of a committee which is de-
signed to rank in importance with the
committees on Military and Naval
Affairs.
The magnitude of the general air
craft program has focused the atten-
tion of the entire House upon the pro-
posal, and the suggestion will be SIP
ported by leaders of both the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties. A poll
of the Rules Committee is understood
to have shown a large majority in
favor Of the Hubert resolution. A
similar measure for the creation Of
committee on aeronautics in the
Senate, to be fathered by Senator
Sheppard, will come up for hearing
within a few days.
The administrations $500, ,OOO, 900 bill
for battle planes will be ready for
transmission to Congress this morn
ing' Congressional leaders were ad-
vised last night by the War and Navy
departments. Aviation experts in
both departments have completed a
draft OF the measure and perfected
scheme for co-ordinating the avia-
ton organizations OF both branches
of the service, as well as to enlarge
the powers of existing governmental
boards directing aircraft work.

(By International New. seryIce.l

my INTERNATIONAL news SeFVtce.D
New York, June ga movement
has been launched to send Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt to Russia as an ex-
officio member OF the Red Cross. It
is planned for him to take several
thousand Americans with him to act
as a steadying influence in the new
republic against German propaganda.
number of professional men have
already volunteered their services.
This information was obtained today
from an American diplomat recently
returned from Russia. He said:
"Col. Roosevelt has been broached
on the subject. He did not appear
willing to commit himself unless prof
ferred a definite invitation. He ad-
mitted that he was enthusiastic about
the work Of the Red Cross and vastly
interested in Russian conditions.
III. p. Dawson, chairman of the
war council of the Red Cross, and
other officials of the organization ap-
peared enthusiastic over the idea.
They considered his presence in Rus
sia would act as an inspiration to the
entire nation. His Red Cross work
would, of course, be nominal.
president Wilson so far has vouch-
safed no views on the subject"
Another conference with Col. Roose-
Welt will be held soon. The matter
will then be taken up in Washington.
