Other advices reaching the state de-

no hope for Improvement over their
present lot.
Authorities here see in Chancellor
Michaelis' statement to the reichstag
this week determination by Germany
to throw her full force into the balance

now on.
One of the American travellers re

FOOD CONTROL BILL


reasonable price for it, 1t estab-
fishes food administration board Of
three members, one of them to be a
practical farmer, to undertake the
direction of fuel, food and feed con-
troll. Included along with tuel are
kerosene and gasoline.
1t establishes minimum price of $2
bushel on wheat until JULY l, 1919
in order to encourage production OF
wheat and guarantee the farmer a
profit The $2 price will apply to high
grade wheat with prices for other
grades in proportion.
The bill establishes government con
troll of coal from mine to consumer and
fixes prices for 1t. 1t authorizes Pres
ident Wilson to license wholesale deal
ers in enforcing the act
At the last moment the senate re-
iected an amendment by Senator La
Toilette that would have authorized
the president to commander the loco
motives of all railroads and ships in
domestic trade as unit IN directing
shipments of goods.
The bill as passed by the senate IS
entirely different from that adopted
by the house. The status of Herbert
Hoover is changed to the extent that
he will be one of board of three
''food dictators" instead of sole CON
trolled. The house, however, threatens
to throw out the senate "board" plan
and restore control to Hoover alone.
The senate bill allows the president to
appoint the chairman of the board
which will be Hoover.
A long fight in conference between
the house and senate representatives
threatens and it is probable both sides
will be asked by the president to make
concessions in order to expedite final
passage of the bill.
