BY the Assoca ted Press.
COPENHAGEN, October 27-The Sc
cret of Emperor Williams unwilling
ness to remove Dr. Michaelis at present,
despite the chancellor's admitted loss of
control of the political situation, is, ae
cording to an article in the Lokal
Anzeiger. that the emperor, like canny
base ball manager, is saving his best
political star for the all-important serv
ice at the conclusion of peace and there
after. and is reluctant to exhaust his
stamina by putting him in now. Mean
while Michaelis must hold on under the
hammering as best he can
Rudolf Won Valentino the emperovs
personal representative. says the Lokal
Anzeiger, mentioned in conferences
with the reichstag leaders the names of
persons whose qualifications for the
chancellorship he recognized. but whom
he believed should be reserved for the
peace table.
The majority parties in the reichstag
are inclined to hold, however, that the
emergency probably never will be
greater than now. and the emperor.
perhaps. is disposed to reconsider his
decision. Won Valentino on Thursday
summoned Karl Trimborn, a centrist
leader. to further conference on the
situation. The reichstag leaders have
taken the week end recess and have
gone home to consult their constituents,
SO the question whether a crisis exists
will not become acute again before the
middle of next week.

SIGN FOOD PLEDGE,
MR.. HOOVER URGES
Points Out Vital Import of the
Campaign Which Begins
Tomorrow.

THE government of the United States
is asking every citizen of the country to
eat less beef, pork, pork products, wheat,
butter and sugar, and to waste no food
stuffs, as an act of common defense"
This is the explanation given today
by Herbert Hoover. food administra-
tor. of the meaning of national fAod
pledge week, which begins tomorrow
a million canvaSSers are ready for the
campaign to induce at least thirteen
million of the country's twenty-five
million housewives to sign the pledge
to conserve food during the war.
Duty Thrust Upon America.
owing to the large failure of the
harvest in France and Italy. and the
Inability to send the worlds shipping
to remote markets." said Mr.. Hoover,
I'VE have thrust upon US a larger duty
in providing foodstuffs for them than
we are capable of executing unless we
can reduce the consumption Of these
foodstuffs in the United States. If we
cannot secure this reduction in con-
sumption We cannot maintain them con-
slant in the war. II we fail the west
ern line will move to the Atlantic sea-
board.
Furthermore. the problem of amel-
iorating the prices to the American
consumer is entirely involved in our
ability to supply the allied needs and
still leave us a sufficiency at home. If
we accept the alternative of maintain
ing the allies in the war from our sup
plies. without savings. we shall have
shortages in the United States that
make any hope of price control abso-
lutely futile.
An Obligation and a Benefit.
1T is, therefore. in the interest of
every American man, woman and child
in the United States that we should
accomplish these ends-hrst, in his per-
sonal defense and protection, and, sec
ond, in the interests of his pocket
book.
Beyond all this. and greater than
this. is the question Of common hu-
manity. There are now millions Of
women and children in Europe solely
dependent upon us for foodstuffs, and
il we had no other reason 1T should APP
peal to every individual in the United
States to sacrifice something in the
name OF common humanity.
I'VE are endeavoring to direct these
problems with all the intelligence that
We can summon in the United States.
We are asking every home, every hotel
and every trade to carry out our direc-
lions for the conservation of foodstuffs
and the elimination Of waste. The
women Of the United States are making
a magnificent endeavor In this prime
national service. and we have a just
right to appeal to every man that he
should support them in this work. We
ask Il pledge from every home and eV-
cry public eating place. and we ask the
men and women of America to main
tain the proper attitude to all who re-
fuse to fall in with this request"

This is the first party in the central

affects neutral territory. The imperial

Retirement Is Demanded,

The Tagebiatt says that, according to
what 1t regards as a credible source, the
emperor, on the counsel of his advisers
decided to retain Chancellor Michael,s
and not to accept the solution Of the crisis
advocated by the majority party in the
reichstag The national liberals as well
as representatives of the majority bloc,
were unanimous, according to this news
paper. in their view that Dr. Mchaelis.
retirement was necessary. and in their
action at Potsdam loyalty supported this
view.
Solution of the crisis may come from
an outside source. 1t was announced
yesterday that Count Lerchenfeld, Ba-
varia's plenipotentiary in the bundles
rath. had held long conference with
the emperor. 1t is no secret in Berlin
political circles that the Bavarian gov
eminent considers it impossible to per
nit continuance Of the latest crisis un-
III the meeting of the reichstag in De-

which could give the impression of any

DR.. Michaelis answered these mild
statements with an article In the

WHEAT SPECULATION
Central Organization of Grain Dealers
Plans Kansas Sales.

Wheat will not be held for specu-
lation in Kansas, provided the central
organization of grain dealers is eff
fected during their conference in To-
peka this week. Wheat will be
handled thru a central body of grain
dealers, under the direction of the
United States government. Grain will
then be handled for this central de-
partment by the local dealers on thir-
ty day contracts. If at the end of the
thirty days the grain has not been
sold, it must be turned back to this
central bureau or the holding will be
accounted for by the dealer.
II is the only hope of the grain men
of the state, according. to officers of
the grain dealers association. If their
plan for organization fails they will
hardly be able to get in on the wheat
market this year. A ruling recently
made by the government, orders that
grain shall be shipped to the terminal
markets or that grain men shall re-
ceive orders from the government in
regard to its disposal. This practi-
cally throws the Topeka firms out of
business. However, the central
branch, cooperating with the govern
ment will solve the local dealers
problem and will let them in on the
market.
To bring this before the national
food conservationists is tn next step
that the local dealers will probably
attempt. T. J. Smiley secretary of
the Kansas Grain Dealers association.
will attend a conference of secretaries
in Chicago Monday and will probably
later go to Washington to bring the
matter of local grain centers to the
attention of Herbert Hoover.
The visiting grain men of the state
attended the dinner program given by
