Percentage of Illness is Just Half That in Regular
Army Posts Much Discussion as Part

by Associated Press

American Training Camp in France,
Thursday, August 9.-The har9 'raining
work for the trenches with it's n ours
of outdoor life is proving a vertible tonic
to the members of the American expe-
dictionary force. The percentage OF illness
for the entire force is but 212 per cent
as against an average of per cent IN
army posts in the United States. Nearly
ali the sickness is made up of light cases
of mumps, measles and colds, all OF
which are yielding to medical treatment.
The remarkably light sick report IS
most gratifying to the medical staffs,
which, although short-handed, have had
no difficulty so far in handling all the
cases and still finding time to visit the
French front and study in detail the
plants for the care of the wounded in
,luding the first aid dressing stations
far underground and the casualty clear
ing stations farther from the firing line
and the means of quick conveyance to
the base hospitals, well outside the fight
ing zone
There is every likelihood, however, that
the American medical staff will be con-
sderably augmented before the men ac-
tually take their places in the trenches
At present the American army has only
one doctor and II medical corps men to
each 500 soldiers, The French have two
doctors and 81 men for the same num-

Hoover Issues Statement on
Taking Charge of Control
Under Act Signed by
President Wilson
NO HOST OF PUNITIVE
MEASURES ARE TO BE
REsORTED TO, HE SAYS
Sweepings Powers Given
Government Will Be Great
Deterrent to Violations
by Disloyals

Washington, August 10.
The American government
today assumed control OF
the country's food supply
with the signing by Presi-
dent Wilson of the admins
tration food survey and
regulatory bills.
Formal announcement of Herbert
Hoover's appointment as food admin
istrator was made at the White House
soon after the measures were APP
proved, and tonight Mr.. Hoover set
forth the aims of the food admins
tration in statement declaring its
purpose will be to stabilize and not
to disturb conditions.
Every effort will be made to cor
rect price abuses made possible by alb
normal times, Mr.. Hoover said, but
drastic measures will not be attempt
ed until it is seen the purposes of
the administration cannot be accom-
plished through constructive cooper
alton with food producing and dis
tributing Industries.
The very existence of corrective
powers, Mr. Hoover declares, will tend
to check speculation and price infla-
ton.
REALIZE SITUATION
1.-THE business men of the country, l
am convinced" says Mr.. Hoovers
statement. "as a result of many hun
dreds of conferences representatives
Of the great sources of food supply,
realize their own patriotic obligation
and the solemnity of the situation, and
will fairly and generously cooperate
in meeting the national emergency"

bility in case of accidents.
The committee appointed by the Com
