FOREIGN NEWS BAN
 BY SEC'Y LANSING
Usual Channels of Information
 Are Closed to Press

Washington. May s.-The usual channels of information through which news of Americas relationships to foreign powers have up to now reached the public were closed late yesterday by Secretary Lansing. s
 An order bearing his name was dis tributed broadcast to state department oincials instructins them not to talk with newspaper men ''even on insig- nifcant matters of fact or detail.'' Henceforth. under the order, the press will not be able to discuss the back ground of complicated international questions with the experts at the head of each bureau.
 The order says that hereafter all news of the department must be Given out either by the secretary himself or by tho newly created so-called bureau of foreign intelligence. Secretary Lansing sees the newspaper men twice daily, but does not pretend to be able to answer the maze of questions which are raised by newspaper cables every hour of the day.. The meetings are becoming moro and moro perfunctory.
 The bureau of foreign intelligence is about a month old, and has charge n6t only of the press but with; supply ing news to all American missions abroad. Usually very much behind the press cables, because of the need of coding and 2decoding. the bureau at the same time. because of its relative lack of authority. confines itself most ly to formal statements on news facts and does not attempt to provide the background or explanation which gives international news it's real value.
 Consequently from now on the pub- lie will receive from the state depart ment only such perfunctory news as the bureau gives out and such frag- mentary explanations as Secretary Lansing himself finds time for in the crush of other work. The bureau chiefs. handling questions of the far east, South America. the near east, or western, Europe, will not be able to give to the public the beneflt of their expert knowledge and intimate familiarity of their specialized situa- ton. i
 Secretary Lansing said that the cate for the various bureau chiefs to be giving out information. He said he recently had learned that some matters which he had not wished pub lished had come out through news paper men seeing various officials of the department, and he did not feel that they should expect to continue such visits under the present situation.

 The United States Mr. Hoover told the committee, should profit by the ex- perience of other nations now en- gagged in war, and not delay legislation for the handling of the nations food supply. I
 It is understood that MT. Hoover did not advocate the maximum and mini- mum price-fi fixing legislation as pro- posed in the Lever bill now before the committee. In foreign countries. he said, the attempt to fix maximum prices on foods had not been fully suc- cessful. The food expert said it might be feasible were the government to undertake to regulate strictly the prices of non-perishables, but he re- garded the fixing of maximum prices on perishables as unadvisable. He suggested instead that if the govern ment would undertake to control the transportation and distribution of foodstuffs paying particular attention to the prevention of congestion in rail- road yards and at shipping docks, the problem of price would practically settle itself.
 MT. Hoover urged, above all things.

HOOVER OPPOSED ID FIXING FOOD PRICES
Reports Similar Attempts in For eign Countries Not Successful

Washington. May 8-Uurging no de- lay in the consideration of the food problem, Herbert c. Hoover. Chair man of the American Food commis- sion. appeared yesterday before the House Committee on Agriculture and discussed for two hours the necessity for the conservation and distribution of foodstuffs under government direc- ton. Mr. Hoover was heard behind closed doors at his own request. He suggested to the committee that some of the information and advice he had

prompt action in dealing with tho food problem. Other nations, he said, had waited until the war had progressed for a year or moro and suffered there- by. The United States, he argued should start the war right by giving immediate attention to its food supply, which is not only to serve this nation but this nations allies in the present conflict. He supported the provisions in the administration bill to prevent manipulation of prices, to regulate storage, and to prevent hoarding.
 MT. Hoover told the committee he believed special commission should be created to aid the department of agriculture and the president in con- serving the food supply, encouraging producing, and bringing about equit- able distribution.
 The committee began consideration of the bill yesterday with indications of fight over some of the more dras- tic provisions of the measure. Some of the southern members are saverse to legislation which would permit anyone even the president to become food dictator to the extent of fixing prices

' There is just as much difference between The yc1opaedia Britannica, printed on old fashioned thick paper; and the new Britain mica, "Handy Volume" Issue, printed on genuine India paper, as there is between the stage coach of l797 and the Philadelphia Express of 1917; between the horse and carriage travelling eight miles an hour, and the modern motor, travelling 50 miles an hour; between the sailing vessel and the ocean steamship.
 If you want the old fashioned stage coach-horse
 and carriage-saling vessel kind of an Encyclo-

The aiser planned to isolate England
He figured it would then be an easy thing
to settle accounts with her. That done, he
could polish off either France or Russia, as
suited his purpose. He would then be un-
disputed master of Europe and ready for his
arrogant challenge to America and its
Monroe Doctrine.
The Germans have pretended all along
they hated England only because she took
up arms for democracy in the war against
autocracy. The fact is Germany has hated
England for years, just as she has hated
America for years.
Germany hates any country richer than
she, and whose government is more demo-
cratic. SO long as there are great, rich,
democracies like America, England and
France, the Warlords of Germany do not
sit absolutely secure.
There is always the chance that the Ger
man Michael will say to himself: 'What is
good for the Yankees should be good for
me. They rule. Why should not l and my
kind rule Germany"
1t was eminently wise for our president
to announce he did not desire to talk peace
with German war-lords. We are beginning
to know them.

DO YOUR CHRISTMAS MAILING
EARLY.

Railroads are taxed beyond their carry
ing capacity Mails are running behind
schedule. Government business has its
rightful preference over everything else.
There are delays even now and congestion
is certain to become serious when the heavy
holiday shipments go into the mail.
Indications are that mail shipments will
be heavier this Christmas than ever before.
More people are away from home and the
country is more prosperous, which means
more gift making. The postof1ce depart
ment is making preparation for the Deem
Der rush, but unless packages are mailed
earlier than usual it will be physically inn
possible to give prompt service.
You can help the government materially
by mailing all gifts to distant points not
later than November Goth and by sending
all of your packages early in December
Start planning now to have your last gift
in the mail by December 18th. That is the
only certain way to avoid disappointment
and delay. Just mark the packages, Don't
open until Christmas and it doesn't mat
ter how soon they are placed in the mail.
There are more ways than fighting to
help win the war One of the most inn
portant is to help prevent congestion of the
transportation systems by doing your
Christmas mailing early.

THE .DUPLICITY OF THE KAISER
REVEALED.

Ever since the start of the great world
war, brought on by German determination
to rule the world the German manufacture
ers of public opinion have been busy trying
TO unload their blood-gult.
No lie has been too patent. Exposed in
one plea, they rapidly shift to another.
But recent revelations leave the German
kaiser and the German government in bad
light, indeed. No wonder the president,
having inside information, said the word
of Germany's present rulers could not be
taken in any peace agreement.
The president not only knew-what all
of us know-that to the German rulers
treaties are mere scraps of paper, but he
must have known the depths of duplicity to
which lust for "weltmacht" had driven the
Prussian overlords
Former Ambassador Gerard has proved
by the kaiser's cable to the president that
Germany's published statements concern
ing the necessity of invading Belgium were
plain lies. And fast upon the heels of this
came the revelations of the secret archives
of the deposed Car Nicholas-poor, spine

DEVELOPING OUR RESOURCES

One of the lasting benefits that America
will derive from the war is the finding of
our resources-the discovery that
make at home many of the things which
were quite content to draw from other
countries SO long as we could bring them
across the seas more easily than we could
produce them.
We accepted as fact the theory that
only Germany could produce commercial
dyes That country had specialized in
their manufacture and German chemists
attained high standard which it was be-
lieved no other country could equal. When
the war cut off importations our manu-
featuring plants were in sad plight.
American dye makers tried to come to the
rescue but their early efforts were most dis
appointing. The reds were a sckly, life
less, brick-color or faded pink, blues were
anything but the desired shade and the
problem seemed hopeless Then American
chemists took up the task with determ-
nation to win out In less than three
years they have succeeded in producing
some dyes that are equal in every respect
to those of Germany and IN two wears
more they confident of producing diff
cult process dyes as successfully as Ger
many did after specializing in the work for
40 years. Approximately 5000, 100000 has
been invested in the manufacture of DIVES
and chemicals in this country and, with the
progress that has been made, it is certain
that we will in future be independent Of
all other countries for the major portion of
those commodities needed to fill our re-
qurements.
Similar advancement has been made in
other lines. One match company has
established the first muriate of potash
plant in America, at a cost of $500 900,
and is independent of foreign producers
for all time.
The United States has learned that it
can produce chemists glassware of better
grade than Germany, which formerly had
monopoly on the finer qualities.
industrial chemistry was an undeveloped
science in this country until the war ap-
piled the spur of necessity and prompted
us to make researches and tests and expert
ments which will add materially to our ma
t1onal wealth while freeing us from de-
pendence upon any other country for many
OF the things which we believed it impos-
sible to produce here.
