emperor particularly pointed cut the

of a bayonet attack in which he had
taken part that was like a splash OF
color in memory.
Mr.. Dozier ran away from home IN
March, 1916, determined to see tne
world and take a hand in the great
war. He emitted in a regiment at
Toronto and spent three months in
training at Valcart:er, after which ne.

began efforts through the American
ambassador to secure his discharge,
on the ground that he was a minor.
Meanwhile Mr.. Dozier had again
taken his place on the firing line. He
was ordered into one Of the trenches
near the front in the early part
night soon after he had got back. and
shortly before daylight advanced over

both lines started for the German I'm

of their goal, the Germans suddenly
swarmed out Of their trenches to meet
them. Two Germans suddenly appear

Dozier with fixed hayccets. He parried
one thrust, twisted the opposing bay

loosened, and then thrust him in the
bowels. The bayonet OF the second
German missed his head by inches at
that instant. Just as another thrust
was nearing his body the German was
shot by Canadian next to him.
The battalion stayed in the trench

to feed administration to use every
authority given it under the bill and
the control OF exports to effect the

out the whole OF the 1917 harvest year
without change or fluctuaiion. =
should thus be clear that it will not
to the advantage of any producer 10
hold back his grain in anticipation OF
further advance. for he will do so only
at his own cost Of storage and inter
est. and if it is necessary for the
government to buy the entire wheat
harvest order to maintain this fall
price in protection of the purchaser
we intend to do so.
No Hoarding
Furthermore, declares Mr.. Hoover,
'the holding of wheat or flour con-
tracts by persons not engaged in the
trade, and even when n the trade, IN
larger quantities than is necessary
for the ordinary course of their busi-
ness is unlawful under the act, and
such cases will be prosecuted Win
vigor. And we would advise such
holders to liquidate contracts at
once.
The universal endeavor over cne
country to reduce consumption" con-
cludes Mr.. Hoover, "of wheat, bread
stuffs, that We may have the requls-
ite exports with which to carry the
Allies over. the Forthcoming winter,
will result in a largely increased
amount of wheat available FOR export.
If it were exported, as wheat, it would
result in diminution of employment IN
our mills and of equal Importance,
curtailment of supply of mill feed for
our dairy cattle. Therefore, the food
administration will stipulate for a
large proportion of export of -four
instead of wheat and as the export Or
ders for -four will be given subject
to the approval Of the fod admins
tration, those mills which cooperate
with the food administration VIII De
given the benefit of the exports en-
ployment. By thus encouraging the
home production of -four the manurac-
turing cost will be reduced and there
fore the American public will receive
indirect benefit in lowered margin o.
cost in distribution"
Mr.. Hoover makes the concluding
reflection that it must be evident to all
thinking persons that unless the price
of wheat -four and bread can be re-
duced materially, the country cannot
expect to maintain the present wage
scale and that it must lose efficiency
at a time it cannot afford such sac
rifce.
