SWISS OFFICIAL IS FORGED ID RESIGN
 PLACE IN COUNCIL
M. Hoffman Violated Neu- trality When He Became Involved in Peace In-
 trigue in Russia

Berne June 19-Cvia Paris.)-M Hoft- ell, who was concerned in the recent at- tempt to institute negotiations for sep arate peace between Germany and Rus sia, has resigned.
 No sooner had M. Hoffmanns resig- nation as federal councillor and chief of foreign affairs been unanimously ac- cepted than speculation as to his suc- cessor began. Most prominently men toned is Gustave Ador former president of the confederation and now president of the International Red Cross. Whoever Is selected, however, 1t is considered prob able that the President of Switzerland. NJ. Schulthess. will assume charge of the political department.
 Paris, June 19-The efforts of Robert Grimm, the Swiss socialist, whose ex- pulsion from Russia has been ordered, and of M. Hoffman, member of the Swiss federal council, to promote an arrange ment for a separate peace between Ger many and Russia, are condemned roundiy by the French press. Grmms action is considered bad enough but that of M. Hoffmann is alluded to as much worse. He is generally considered to have been guilty of grave breach of neutrality in transmitting proposals made by Germany with a view of detachng one of the en- tente allies, employing Swiss diplomatic channels for the purpose. The newspa- pers refer to the fact that M. Hoffmann is chief of the federal political depart ment, which controls the Swiss diplomatic service.
 It is remarked that the Swiss states council and the national council have just pronounced officially against mediation by Switzerland and that NJ Hoffmann at the same moment was acting in con- trary sense.

ALABAMA SENATOR'S
 WILL SUPPORT FOOD BILL, T IS THOUGHT
So Far, However, They Have Not Stated Their Position. Prohibitionists Greedy
 in Their Demands
Rv HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, June 19-(SpeciaL) The last and most drastic of the so- called food control bills is before Con gress.
 The President has declared that it is necessary that this bill be enacted before July 1. By that time crops will be harvested and the fear Of the ad- ministration is that unless law pre- vents manipulators will corner the market.
 It is regarded as probable that the House will pass the bill by July 1. Indications, however, are that it will be as late as August l before the Sem ate disposes of the measure.
 The opposition, strong and bitter, is based on the contention that it would be unwise for the sake of democratic ing Prussia to Prussianize America.
