 modlties World Over.

Washington. President Wilson, after having signed the food bill. the most drastic measure of the kind ever enacted by the congress of the United States. has appointed Herbert C. Hoover as food administrator
 Hoover issued a long statement in which he emphasizes the necessity for carrying into effect this new law. which affects every American man. woman and child. soldier. sailor and civilian more vitally than any law ever passed by the congress.
 Outlining in general terms the pol. Icy he intends 10 pursue in the eforce- ment of the law, Hoover said the hopes of the food administration are threefold, namely; To eliminate spec ulation. extortion and waste. and to stabilize prices, to retain sufficient supplies for our own use and to stim- ulate the conservation of food that we may have sufficient to supply our allies
 He expressed a belief in the patriot. ism of the men who control the pro duction of food and their readiness and willingness to cooperate in the enforcement of the law He utters a clear warning 10 those however, who may contemplate enriching themselves st tbe expense of the public that he shall not hesitate 10 apply 10 the full the drastic coercive powers that congress has conferred" by the bill

This is such that l6-knot ship can elude the fastest of the Uboats
 Study of the submarine warfare has revealed to government officials in charge of shipping that the sub, marine sights its target and follows it. sailing al its maximum speed on the surface under cover of dark. ness In this way the merchant ship is overtaken. Al the first morning light the submarine takes position and launches its torpedoes Exami. nation Of the reports of sinkings show that the great majority of them have been at dawn.
 Nt IlttuoGS or procedure are De ing followed to defeat this subma. rine program. Speed IS the first re. quisite. II ik desired that merchant ships develop a speed which will try the best powers of the submarines even when cruising on the surface Second. the gun crews on all mer- chant ships are keeping sharp watch al the break of day and at the first glimpse of pursuing periscope open gun fire.
 Officers say they have no ohiec. ton to fighting the submarine when it is visible. as this is fair fighting Tn time Of war. High speed will pre-. vent the treachery Of night attacks by submerged Cdoats
