That people OF the District are not to

ton of $4,000 within the period of If
teen working days.
This statement was made last night ~

tional Defense, and on the basis of HIS
observations to recommend the best
methods OF assisting the allies of this
government in the war against Germany
to meet their food needs, and to offer ad-
vice as to the methods to be followed
In preventing evils arising out Of specuia-
tion and manipulation of prices.
Director clifford emphasized that this is
Mr.. Hoover's chief task. He now Is in
London, Fastening to completion the
work outlined for him, and In a cable
gram to the council yesterday he indi-
Gated his report probably viii be ready
for submission within a week or ten days.
He will send his report by cable, and i'm
mediately thereafter will sail for the
United States.
Upon his return to America, Mr.. Hoov-
er's work will cover a wide range, chiefly
in food distribution and conseryation. but
his activities will be those of a ysuberdi-
nate to Secretary Houston and his imme-
dlate aides. It is possible that he will
cooperate closely with the Federal Trade
Commission. whose powers are to be en-
larged to cope adequately with price
manipulation and other possible practices
that may grow out Of wartime condi-
tions.
1t was made plain last night that Mr..
Clifford would cooperate with all agen-
cies having TO do with the food ques-
tion, but that he would render assistance
mainly to Secretary. Houston. and would
be employed in assisting State agencies
now being named by State councils of
national defense to handle matters Of
food control and price hxing.
The council indicated that Mr.. Hoover
also will be at the head Of large eoni-
mittee Of eminent agrieulturists who will
direct a nationwide campaign to increase
food production by personal visits to
Urban communities ana BY making close
study OF the distribution and conserva-
ton OF food supplies in small commhni-

Dent opens Debate
chairman Dent opened the debsts
In the House yesterday with a de-
fence Of the volunteer System oi
army enrolment. He admitted to a
feeling of embarrassment at finding
himself out of alignment with the
President as the titlular head of hts
own party.
But" said Dent" If we are wilIins
to say that we will adopt a resoiu-
tion authorizing the President to
draft an army or to raise one by the
volunteer method. and to draft all the
resources Of the country. and do all
this without any action Whatsoever
on the part Of Congress-. we might
as well adopt a resolution doing that
specifically and adjourn"
Expressing the belief that there
would be no difficulty in raising an
army of one million or even Of two
IullllOu IuCH Dy enllbLIuenl,
Chairman Dent asserted that there
was very general misconception ex-
istsnt among the people of the United
States which had been worked up
by certain element Of the press.
Also the chairman asserted that the
Dent bill did not delay the upbuild-
ing of an army by the conscriptive
method. II the volunteer method
should fail,
AppIaad Volunteer Plan
The applause which greeted Chairman
Dents remarks was quite enthusiastic.
It came in larger MEASURE from the DEM
ocratie side Of the chamber. but there
was a sprinkling Of handclappins from
the Republican side as WELL
As the debate proceeded II became very
evident that the noise, at least. was on
the side of the committees bin and
against the supporters Of the administra-
ton.
Representative Tilson. Republican, OF
Connecticut. speaking for the committee
minority. followed Chairman Dent. He
addressed himself TO q defense Of the
General STAFF plan for raising an army.
He said that the minority had even seen
fit to modify the phraseology and some
OF the terms OF the General Stan plan,
but not the principles enuneisted therein.
Representative Lunn, Of New York. a
Democrat. followed. He had served him
self under the volunteer system of army
Organization in the Cuban campaign of
1895. and he told the House OF faults and
haws In the volunteer system which that
war disclosed. and which he did not wish
to see infected into this far more difficult
and far more dangerous adventure.

Democrat. and one OF the committee
members, who stood by Chairman
Dent In his disagreement with the ad-
flinistfation, pleaded WITH the House to
