 EXTREMELY GRAVE
Herbert Hoover Arrives From Bel gium With Gloomy Views As
 To the Outlook.

New York, May 4.-Herbert c, Hoover arrived from England yes terday on an American ship and said he would proceed at once to Washington to assume his new posi- tion as head of the country's food board.
 MT. Hoover said the U-boat men ace has made the food situation in Belgium and Northern France one of extreme gravity, the mortality among adults in the industrial dis tricts having multiplied by three during March and April.
 Mr. Hoover was met by Baron Cartier. Belgian minister to the United States, who said he came from Washington to express his thanks and reverence" for the Belgian relief commissions accom- plishments in this country.
 ''The food situation in Belgium and Northern France requires every effort we can make" said MT Hoover, who does not intend to re- linquish his position as head of the Belgian commission "At present it is one of extreme gravity on ac- count of the U-boat menace, which has increased alarmingly during the past eight weeks.
 Wheat and corn are needed bad ly and also pork and beef. The commission by March l had strug- gled to it's feet again after receiv- ing the knockout blow of the sub marine decree of Feb 1. Since March 1 we have lost five loaded boats, but in March and April CO., 900 tons of foodstuffs were landed. But this 60,000 was 220,OO0 tons less than we actually required.
 Because of the shortage the mortality in industrial districts multiplied by three. The children, however, did not suffer. They are always looked after first.

Police Relieved
Of Extra War Duty
Woods Believes Men on Reg.
ular Patrol Can Cope with
ANY Trouble

The war basis in the Police Depart
meut was suspended at midnight and
the 1900 officers and patrolmen were
placed again under the regular patrol
system. This means that the men arc
now permitted TO go TO their homes in
stead Of sleeping at the stations, and
that they will have every fifth day OF
as under ordinary conditions.
In taking this step Commissioners
Woods shows that he feels there will
be no trouble in New York and that
what little may occur can be handled
eifectually by the men on regular duty.
When on war basis the patrolmen
work eight hours, sleep eight hours at
the various stations and then 90 on
duty again. They can be modified in
about eighty minutes. Under the patrol
system they can be modified in from
two to three hours. The regular ma
chine gun squad Will continue on duty
at headquarters for any emergency.
Governor Whitman and Commission
er Woods had half hour conference at
the Hotel st. Regis last night. but
neither would discuss the purpose. Il
was reported that Governor Whitman
offered the Commissioner the superin-
tendency Of the new state constabuisry,
at at least asked if he would consider
accepting that post.

Will Send Names of Own
ers to Washington

Eight hundred more private wireless
plants were dismantled yesterday in
greater New York. according TO Chief
Police Inspector Schmittberger. who

themselves mad dismantled the plants,
but where they had not the police did
so without the formality OF asking per-
mission.

order TO all sherifs and police chiefs
throughout the state, directing them to
take similar steps with regard to any

German Wireless Plant
Reported in Salvador

Laredo. Tex, April 9-Communica
ton between Mexico and Germany is
being carried on secretly through a
wireless plant located in Salvador,
which was recently sent to that coun-
try from Mexico, according to Ameri-
cans who have arrived here from
Mexico. II is said that the plant was
set up and is manned by Germans, and
that it is Of sufficient strength to
communicate direct with Berlin.
The wireless plants in Mexico, it is
asserted, are not strong enough TO COM

lcient 50 far as the receipt and de-
livery of messages 10 and from Saliva
dor is concerned.
1t is reported that Germans drawn
from the coffee plantations Of Chiapas

Wave of Patriotism
Found at St. Joseph
Fierce War Spirit Greet Stim-
sons Security League
Party

frlom 4 stan Correspondent u Tie rnbuAeI
ST Joseph. Mo-. April 9. Henry L.
Stimson and his party to-day encoun-
tered in this city the iiercest wave OF
natriotism and war spirit that they
have met since they began their tour
Of the middle West. in advocacy OF
Americanism and universal military
service.
ST. Joseph literally laid aside is
business for half day and gave itself
over to the buoyant duty Of demon
strating its loyalty.
At . O'Clock books in every school
building in the city were closed and
the pupils marched TO assembly rooms
20 hear addresses by Frederic r.
Coudert and Frederic c. Walcott. Again
at the dinner hour II column Of thou
sands of men, fanked van and rear by
two boisterous bands, filed through tho
downtown streets in war parade.
The climax came tonight at the city
auditorium, when between 1000 and
5000 men and women crowded into the
big convention hall TO pay their tribute
TO the flag and 10 show their approval
Of the appeal laid before them BY the
New York speakers. And herein sharp
contrast to the apathe;ic attitude ex-
hibited at several meetings in other
cities-the thousands showed no hest
ancy in voicing their approval Of Mr..
Stimson's demand that America should
send an army TO the battle line IN
France.
st. Joseph has no German problem
TO vex il, no pscihst problem to make
II possible centre Of diSloy6lty, no
Socialist problem to hamper its activi-
ties. 1t is just the sort OF an Ameri-
can city that one might have found in
New England in l776-keen. alive 20
the nations needs and ready 20 do all
il can TO help.
II is glowing example of the fact
that a community can have high per-
centage OF German residents without
having a German problem. The power
ful Turnverein Society. for instance,
pulled down the Kaiser's picture in its
clubhouse the instant diplomatic rela-
tions were severed and hung the
American flag up instead William
Kueker. president Of the German Al
lance in ST. Joseph. was among the
first Of the city's citizens TO pledge his
personal allegiance 10 the United States
in the event OF war against his native
country. and with his own pledge went

Ruth Law Urges
Flying Tricks to

No Stunts Dangerous Ws

Wants Advance School

That sort Of Aging which most hrf

according to Ruth Law, holder OF q

essary TO the man who engages n :

There really is crying need in "a
country for the establishment Of .

Before an aviator is prepared 70 q

know how 70 loop the loop, 30 a nee

stunts.
Miss Law is herself an expert al q
these stunts. which have caused sps
tators 20 gasp IN awe at her darn
And so her next remark seemed rauE
surprising.
"None Of these stunts IS dangers
when properly DONE" she continued. /
went 20 the French flying centre Q
Tau. wnere some five hundred or rne'
aviators are learning this sort OF a
work. This is the only school OF a

rere that the fighting airmen are grss
uated. All the aviators in France hs'

hadn't.
Fighting in the air is fighting Il
position. Consequently. IL is largely
business Of lodging. The man who
the better dodgcr, who has the mo-
tricks up his sleeve, IS the man whe
going 20 win. have seen men 50

and simply fall through pace for 81

used at great attitudes"
The belief that school for advance
fliers is needed Is not confined to Ms

have declared that such training va
required. And one officer. himself q
