DR.. Wiley's Proposed Wartime Bill of Fare

Establish Immediately two meat
less days a week.
Prohibit the use of grain in the
manufacture of whiskey and beer.
Prohibit milling of white -four or
refined cornmeal."
Compel use of whole wheat flour
and whole corn meal.
Taboo polished rice; substitute the
unpolished-and healthier.
These are, epitomized, some of the
hints in the war diet which Doctor
Harvey w. Wiley, original pure food
exponent, gives to the Nation. Such
war diet as Doctor Wiley proposes
would not only conserve the Nations
food supply immeasurably but it
would result in far healthier Ma
ton. DR.. Wiley Contends.
"In milling white -four" Doctor
Wiley said, 1--WE throw away nearly
one-third of the grain. BY milling
whole wheat we can turn two bushels
into as much -four as three bushels
now make.
whole wheat -four is far more
wholesome than white, for it con-
tains all the vital elements that have
been taken from white flour.

Reported Release of Dutch
Ships With Grain Cargoes
PIeaSeS Netherlands Folk

THE HAGUE, Monday. August 81
The news from Washington that thirty
or more Dutch vessels will be permit
ted to sail from the United States with
grain owned by the Netherlands gov
eminent has been received with salts
faction here, although uncertainty still
prevails as to the nature of the ar
engagements. 1t is learned authoritative
ly that the cargoes of all the Dutch
ships in question amount to some $780,
00a tons.
The first proposal of the American
authorities was that permission to
export these cargoeS be granted on
condition that two-thirds of them be
turned over to the Belgian relief COM
mission; but II was found that the
amount of fodder was so large that the
relief comm ission would be unable to
take its share. Holland. therefore. Of
fered to give the commission such part
of il as it was able to use and to bring
TO this country for the commission
enough other grain to make up the
stipulated quantity. This offer was not
accepted. The American authorities
finally intima;ed their willingness to
release something more than 100000
tons of cargoes on condition that the
larger part should go to Belgium, and
this is believed to be the arrangement
which has now been agreed upon.
Passage of the released ships through
the North sea is now regarded as COM
paratively safe. Sailings of freight
ers to America will he resumed only
if facilities for obtaining cargoes are
assured. This whole subject is in sus-
pension pending the outcome of the
negotiations of the Dutch mission to
America.
The Belgian relief commissions por-
ton of the cargoes is likely to be
extremely welcome, as its provisioning
is much behind. and 1900 tons of
grain was recently advanced to it by
Holland. The relief steamship Tur-
hinia arrived at Rotterdam from the
United States today with about 5000
tons of wheat.
The minister of agriculture today de-
creed that from September the bread
ration will be further reduced from
81 to o54 grams daily. Another regu-
lation forbids the furnishing of bread
with hotel and restaurant dishes.

Presidents Statement.

The Presidents statement explaining
the purposes of the proclamation fol-
lows:
The purpose and effect of this prod
lamation is not export prohibition, but
merely export control. 1t is not the In
tention to interfere unnecessarily with
our foreign trade, but our own domeS-
tic needs must he adequately safe
guarded and there is the added duty of
meeting the necessities of all the ma
tons at war with the imperial German
government
after these needs are met. il is our
wish and intention to minister to the
needs of the neutral nations far our
resources permit. This task will be dis
charged without other than the very
proper qualification that the liberation Of
our surplus products shall not be made
the occasion of benefit to the enemy,
either directly or indirectly.
THE two lists have been prepared in
the interests of facility and expediency.
The first list. applicable to the enemy and
his allies and to the neutral countries of
Europe. brings under control practically
all articles of commerce. while the sec
ond list, applicable to all the other coun-
tries of the world. makes only few addi-
tions to the list of commodities controlled
by the proclamation of July .. 1917.

and control of exports is necessary with

night when he issued n proclamation
making it practically impossible Tor

signed to treat neutral nations in such
manner that American exports will not
replace neutral goods shipped TO the
enemy.
The proclamation makes it clear for
the first time that the United States is
prepared TO go to almost any limit to
prevent goods going 70 Germany. Neu-
trails already have been Informed both
in notes and in conversations with their
representatives in Washington that the
Tuited States will see to it that no
American goods may be used even to
replace indirectly goods shipped from
neutral countries To Germany. Some

except under license and extends the
list of commodities for which license Is
required in shipments to the allies and
neutrals other than European countries.
The President. in statement accom-
panying the proclamation, declares 1t
is the main purpose Of the government
to see that no American products are
made "the occasion of benefit to the

Neutrals already have been informed
that the United States will see to 1t
that no American goods may be used
even to replace indirectly. commodities
forwarded by neutrals to Germany.
The prohibition of exports to the CEN
trail powers is understood TO indicate
that export control will supersede the
British system of giving letters of as
surance for American cargoes.
The proclamation contains the first
formal announcement of the transfer of
administration of export control from
the Department of Commerce to the
Export Administrative Board. headed

PRESIDENT ASKS TOKNOW
NERINvESTEDBYL LAWS
Seeks to Learn How Far Government
Can Go Under Food Control
and Defense Acts.

An Interpretation of existing laws which
will define clearly the governments power
to keep war prices down has been asked
of Attorney General Gregory by President
Wilson. The President particularly wishes
to know how far the government can go
under the food control and the national
defence acts.
The defense act authorizes the executive
in time of war or other national emer-
gency to commander supplies at fair
prices, but doubt has existed as to whether
the law vests in him power to force pro-
ducers to sell TO the allies and to the gem
eral public at the same figures obtained
by the government.
Under the food control act the Presi-
dent has fixed coal prices and has wide
authority over the production and distri-
button of foodstuffs. but provisions of
the act designed to give the government
control over necessities" never have
been clearly defined in the minds OF
many officials.
In statements on the subject the Presi-
dent has emphasized that the administra-
tons policy will be to obtain fair prices for
the public on all commodities and that
heavy American and allied government
purchases will not be permitted to in
crease prices to the private buyer.
Investigating Steel and Copper.
With the price of coal disposed Of
for the time being the government now
has turned its attention to steel and
copper The War Industries board and
the Federal Trade Commission. which
is pursuing 4 series of production cost
Investigations. are working together
to arrive at fair prices for both these
commodities.
If a test comes between the govern
ment and industries over the avowed
intention of the government to see that
the public shares in price reductions il
will come first over steel Pending in
Congress is the Pomerene bill which
gives the government power TO fix steel
prices. and if under existing laws no
power is found to bring steel prices
down generally the administration will
go to Congress and insist upon pas
sage of this measure.
There is a belief in some circles that
most of the industries can be control

fuel. Since this is the basic commodity.
