Washington Speculates
As to What Ship Flies
FLAG of Admiral Sims

Washington, June ia brief mes
sage from London to-day brought the
Navy Department its first news of the
appointment OF Vice-Admiral Sims to
command the Allied naval forces in
Irish waters temporarily. The depart
ment has no other information as to
the new responsibilities placed on the
American officer.
The American government has given
Admiral Sims wide powers to enable
him to meet any situation that may
arise. He has full authority to act on
his own initiative in disposing the
forces at his command so as to obtain
the greatest cooperation with the
French and British nayies.
Much of his time has been passed in
London and Paris, and to-day's advices
are the first that indicate that he has
been at sea with his ships. 1t .as said
at the department, however, that Ad-
miral Sims determined for hiL.self the
best course to pursue and would spend
all his time aAoat il he thought 1T ad-
visable.
There was much speculation as to
what American warship the admiral
might be using as a flagship. The only
vessels announced to be in European
waters are the destroyers sent to Brit
ish ports and the collier Jupiter.
The British have swarms OF destroy
ers submarine chasers and mine sweep
ers in Irish waters, besides aircraft,
and all these forces are under Admiral
Sims. On him also rests probably the
duty of arranging for the arrival and
denarture of commercial vessels.

.Woman's Suicide Note
Mystery Shrouds Death Of
Mrs. Pauline Keyes, Killed
in Boston

Brookline, Mass, June 19.-The boil
ing over of a kettle of fat in the apart
ment of Mrs. Pauline Keyes to-day led
to the discovery by neighbors of the
woman's body on the kitchen hoor'
with a bullet wound in her head. A
revolver and note lay on the table near
the body.
The note. addressed to the woman
husband, George keyes, real estate
agent. to whom she was married seven
months ago, said she had suffered
from severe headaches, and could no
longer endure his acquaintance with
another woman. This led the police at
first to believe the woman had COM
mitted suicide. Later, however. it was
decided to make a closer investigation
Keves and several neighbors were
questioned BY the police.
II was learned tonight that three
shots we're fired. one striking MIS-
Keyes's right hand and grazing her
arm. another lodging in the wall ana
q third in her left temple. Mr.. keyes
said his wife was right-handcd, and
the police are trying 20 find out If the
woman could have caused the wound
on her right hand. Keyes also told
the police that the revolver found in
the room did not belong to him, and
a. he knew. was not the prop
erty of his wife. ., -.
The authorities were informed by
neighbors that woman had called at
the Keyes home recently and, upon
being told that Mrs. Keyes was not at
home. said she had come to tell her
something that she would not like TO
hear The police tried tonight to
loca,e this woman.

Action Forced by
Big Grain Orders
acknowledgements Purchased
Heavily as Embargo
Threatened

Washington, June 19.-By an execu-
tive order which the President is ex-
pected to sign tomorrow the export
control act. just passed by Congress,
will be put into execution. American
products, under the plan, will be dis
tributed as follows:
To America first
To the Allies OF America second.
To the neutrals last.
Export control was provided in a
clause in the espionage act. Under the
law government licenses will be re-
quired for all export cargoes, thus Civ
ing to the government control over
materials leaving the country and max
ing possible a near embargo and pref
erential treatment of our allies.
L. S. in Full Control
No matter how heavy are foreign
food purchases-and they have been
alarmingly heavy of late, the buyers
being representatives Of neutral gov
ernments-the United States govern
ment, by regulating shipments. can ac-
complish rs much as If it controlled
purchases outright.
The plan of organization and general
export programme was drawn up by
the Secretary of State and the Secre-
tary of Commerce and presented TO to-
days Cabinet meeting.
The act will. be administered by an
export council made up Of representa-
tives of the State, War, Navy and Com
merce departments, the food admins
tration and others to be selected by the
State and Commerce departments. Ad-
ministrative details will be handled by
the Bureau of Foreign ana Domestic
Commerce, which will be enlarged by
the addition of an export licensing divi-
sion.
Divide Responsibility
Matters of international consequence
will be decided by the State Depart
ment. Food questions will be left to
the food administration. Coal and
wheat will be the first two commodi-
ties to come under the operation OF the
act. and a Presidential proclamation
specifying these two probably will ac-
company the executive order.
Heavy grain purchases oy european
neutrals. it was said tonight, in
fuenced the government to hasten put
ting the export control act into opera

Alarmed at prospects that the United
States was preparing TO exercise tne
strictest supervision over food. SNIP
mepts. the neutrals. it is declared. have
gone into the American wheat market
anG obtained contracts for enormous
quantities of the cereal. Much OF this
now probably never will leave the coun-
try. and if the food bills pass the pur-
chasers can be forced to disgorge their
holdings under the embargo clause.
The Allies, who have discontinued
Grain purchases for the time being,
awaiting the outcome of the food ex-
port and control legislation, have grown
more and more impatient, II is declared
at the continued neutral buying. Inc
heavy Allied buying in the spring has
been blamed in large measure for the
high prices to which May wheat went.

Britain S Hope,
Says Rhondda
British Controller Sure. He Says.
United States Will Not
Fail Allies

London, June l9.-"In this war, and
especially at this stage, food power is
co-equal with man power said Lord
Rhondda, the new food controller, in
an interview to-day. "The problem Of
Great Britain's food primarily depends
upon the supply, and in the main the
solution of the problem of supply lies
in America. ! am sure they will not
let US down."
Lcrd Rhondda took over the duties
of food controller to-day, and this was
his first interview with representatives.
of the American press.
"The whole problem Of the nations
food primarily depends upon the sup
ply" he continued, "and unless we can
be assured Of food sufficient to enable
this and the other Allied countries Of
Europe to carry the war to a success
full conclusion it would be almost su-
perAuous TO appoint q food controller.
The most perfect system Of distribution
and the most equitable regulation OF
prices would be mere waste OF time
and effort unless every measure is
taken to keep up the Allied food sup
ply. .,
"For this we depend to vital degree
upon the United States and Canada.
No one recognizes that more fully than
7 do. Before Mr.. Hoover left for Amer
ica I had an opportunity Of discussing
with him the lessons he had drawn
from his wonderful work in Belgium
and his plans as 20 the Allied food sup
ply.
"In accepting this Office one OF its
few attractions-perhaps its only at
tr.ction-was the knowledge that Presi-
dent Wilson had asked a man Of Mr..
Hoover's calibre, experience and under
standing of the Allies to tackle in
America those problems which have
an intimate bearing day by day upon
the food situation in this country. !
have perfect confidence that the Ameri-
con Congress and the American people
will. respond TO the calls now being
made 70 them.
Quick Action Necessary
81 hope I shall not be misconstrued
or thought impatient if ! say that the
sooner your food administration meas
ures are enacted the sooner we shall
breathe more easily. At present our
policy and the practical details OF our
buying are rendered more difficult,
more complex, by the uncertainty re-
rarding the future.
"My experiences in America before
and since the war have given me an
unusual opportunity Of appreciating the
vastress Of her resources. II these are
organized TO their full capacity | am
confident that the German hope Of
starving the Allies or Of causing civil
ian unrest by the scarcity OF food or
high prices is doomed TO failure.
"We are doing what we can of our
own bat by increasing home .produc-
tion and decreasing consumption, but
IN the main the solution Of the pri-
mary problem of supplies lies in the
hands of our American allies, | am
sur. they will not let us down."
