Recruiting will be directly under the officer of the regiment. Recruiting machinery of the regular army or the national guard will be placed at their service and it is hoped the enrolment of the trops will take little time. The recruiting points will be New York, Chicago, St. Louis Boston, Pittsburg, Detroit, Atlanta, San Francisco and Philadelphia.
 Officials believe the great railroad brotherhood will cooperate, throwing the strength of the unions behind the recruiting efforts. The railway com panies already are so organized under the council of national defense that their cooperation is assured. The en- gineers and officials of the lines who offer themselves will be selected in such manner as not to cripple the operating forces of any company.
 The decision to send the engineers is understood to have grown out of conferences here between government officials and members of the French and British war missions. One of the great problems of the war has been taught of maintaining adequate supply lines and the railroads are the vital element of the system that feeds men, shells and food toward the fighting front from channel ports and from France.
 Engineering feats of spectacular na- ture have been accomplished in per fecting these communication lines. A whole British railroad was picked uD bodily rolling stock, rails, oad-bed, and all and taken to France. American engineers had much to do with that. They also have, under contract with the British and French governments. driven tunnels. built spurs and bridges and mapped out schemes of transporta- ton that are in operation today. America is pre- eminent in the field of railway engineers and the best tall ent and experience the nation can pro vide in that line will go into the new regiments, each of which would be able to undertake all or any part of the work of building or operating a whole railway system.
 The administrations action means the American troops carrying the Amer ican flag and in tn uniform of the American army are soon to, be on French soil If there is psychological value in such a movement. as both 1 French and British commissions have urged, it will show itself with the ar rival in France of the first engineer 1 regiment.

HOOVER AS FO0D EXPORT DIRECTOR
 AND PRICE F|XER
[RepubIican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, May Although Herbert C. Hoover's place in the gov ernment's food control program has not been determined finally, there were indications today that he would be given direction of food exports and later of price e-fiXing measures if con- gress passes the Administrations food bills
 The department of agriculture is fully equipped to enforce domestic regulations contained in the legisla- ton. but the problem of apportioning food among the allies may be largely left to MT. Hoover as chairman of the food committee of the Council of Ma tional Defense Under the bill the president will be empowered to name an agency to deal with price fixing. This, it is understood, if made neces- sary, probably would be left to the de- fense council with MT. Hoover super vising operations of the act.
 There have been suggestions of an international food commission, sitting in Washington, to handle American and allied food problems. If it is cre- ated the American member probably would be Mr. Hoover
 Secretary Houston announced today that Canada was awaiting passage of the administration bills to put into force some regulations. American and Canadian food interests are so nearly identical, he said, that Canada feels it would be useless to proceed with measures until the United States de- cides on a definite course
 MT. Hoover will see President Wilson Wednesday to report on food condi- tions abroad. Today he appeared be- fore the >house agriculture committee at a closed session to discuss the food bills He suggested creation of com- mission of business men,. serving under the president, to handle broader fea- lures of the measures, leaving to the agriculture department authority to en- force other regulations. This board, he suggested. should sit as an inde- pendent body. overseeing transporta- tion and preferential Shipments.
 MT Hoover opposed price fixing for perishables, but said he thought power should be conferred permitting the setting of basic prices on non- -perisha- bles
 Chairman Lever of the committee submitted a favorable report today on the first of the bills which would em- power the secretary of agriculture to make survey of the county's food re- sources and authorize the department to put into force measures to stimulate production.

 SPRINGFIELD, H.. May 7-The French mission to the United States paid tribute to the memory of Lincoln at the emancipator's tomb here today, and received an enthusiastic welcome to the capital of Illinois.
 Marshal Joffre silently placed wreath upon the Lincoln sarcophagus. With bowed heads and doffed caps, the hero of the Marne, Rene Nivianl, wee president of the French council of min listers, and the military and civil offi cials who accompanied them, filed into the tomb, paid honor to the war presi- dent and left without a spoken word.
 At the state capitol however, where an official reception had been arranged, both JOffre and Viviani spoke. General Joffre briefly expressed appreciation of the cordial reception.
 M. Viviani paid a tribute to Lincoln and to President Wilson, and told of the leioicing that spread through France when the speech of President Wilson announcing the inteneion of the United States to enter the war was received. de predicted that with the aid of the United States it would be brought to q glorious conclusion.
 Before coming here to this hall of the legislature" M Viviani said, we entered the chamber of silence and de- posted a wreath upon the tomb of the immortal Lincoln. The homage of all France ccmes with us. We wish you to understand, no matter how far it is from Springfield to France, the vision of this splendid modern democracy is understood in France. You know that born among the people, not able to read Lincoln arose by study and intelligence
  zation. He attained his ends by plung- ing the country into civil war after exhausting every other means within his power.
 Lincoln understood human con science and that is the reason he is proclaimed the immortal He ac- complished this civilization. and al- though he is now in silence, by his tri- umphs and his deeds he still lives In memory.
 Three years ago the German gov ernment violated the rights of men without any motive or right and sought to conquer France. The United States is now face to face with the same crisis. We are now together in this great world-war to defend the rights and justice of man."
 Governor ,Lowden had called atten- ton, in his introduction to French set tlement of the Mississippi valley
 The first French came to discover the valley of the Mississippi and found the first government in that valley" NJ. Niviani said.
 Tt is here now that we see the de- mand of our ancestors. As the gov ernor has said we will take back to France the debt of gratitude we owe them
 Tt Is not to France you owe the debt but you owe it to liberty and equally because our children are fight ing to maintain this equality of man.
 We will take back with us a re- membrance of you and when we re- turn to our country, we will be asked what we have heard and seen and we Will answer that we have travelled through America and have been ae-

WASHINGTON, May "A plea against premature peace for Russia and renewed assurances that American wage earners and the American people are in hearty sympathy with the Rus sian democratic movement, are in cluded in a long cablegram sent by President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor to the executive committee of Council of Workmen's and Soldiers deputies at Petrograd.
 Speaking for organized labor in this country MT. Gompers also expresses complete confidence in the purposes and opinions of the American war mis- sion soon to go to Russia. Although lie does not, mention specifically the recent attacks on Elihu Root, who will head the mission, the labor leader de- nounces as criminal and pro German any suggestion that the members will seek to interfere in Russias internal affairs or will give any advice except with the purpose of combating the common enemy.
 Forcible annexations are condemned but MT. Gompers pleads that every people affected by the war should in the end be free to choose their. ale
 
 denounced, and hope is expressed that leaders of the working classes of the central empires will cease plotting for an abortive peace and will bring a real peace by overthrowing the autocra- cies of Hohenzollern and Hapsburg.
 The message, timed to aid in com batting the pro- German agitation ap- parent during the last few days in Russia, was cabled yesterday. Its text was made public tonight as follows: ''The gravest crisis in the world s history is now hanging in the balance and the course which Russia will pur- sue may have a determining influence whether democracy or autocracy shall prevail. That democracy and freedom will finally prevail there can be no doubt in the minds of the men who know, but the cost. the time lost, and ,, the sacrifices which would ensue from lack of united action may be appalling (Continued on Page Two1

 WASHINGTON, May 7.-The us- ual channels of information through w;ict news of Americas relationships to foreign powers reach the public were closed. by Secretary Lansing to- day.
 An order bearing his name was distributed broadcast instructing state department officials not to talk with newspaper men, "even on insignifi- cant matters or fact or detail'' Henceforth under tie order, tho press will not be ale to discuss the background of complicated inter- national questions with the experts at the heaG of each bureau.
 The order says that hereafter all news must be given out and by the secretary himself or by the newly created so-called bureau of foreign intelligence. Secretary Lansing sees the newspaper men twice daily, but does not pretend to be able to an- swer the mass or questions raised every hour by newspaper cables. The meetings are becoming more and more perfunctory
 The bureau of foreign intelligence is about a month old and is charged rot only with the press work but with supplying news to all American missions abroad. Usually very much behind the press cables because os the need Of coding and decoding, the bureau at the same time because of it's relative lack of authority con- nres itself mostly to formal state ments on news facts and does not attempt to provide the background or explain which gives International news it's real value.
 Consequently, from now on, if to- days order remains in effect, the public will receive from the state department only such perfunctory news as the bureau gives out and such fragmentary explanations as Secretary Lansing himself finds time for in the crush of other work. The bureau chiefs, handling ques
