Chicago. April 29.--~Aceording to
cable advices from both London and
Liverpool tho stocks of brcadstuffs- in
England is small and the likelihood
is that IL will decrease still further
unless the arrivals from the exporting
countries of the world increase. 1T is
the strong dcs,-r of the United states
TO feed Great Britain and its allies
and IT is also the strong desire of Aus
tralia, India and Argentina to assist
this country in feeding the citizens aud
soldiers of the allies. There is also n
cry from the neutral nations who want
bread and meats in liberal quantities
and the United States is also anxious
to supply at least a goodlv portion of
breadstuffs TO feed these nations.

SUSPECT NODLtWOMAN .
Of BEING GERMAN SPY
Princess Radziwiil, Aged Russian and
Friend of Kaiser, Not Allowed TO
Stop In New York.

New York, April 29.--Just as she
was hailng a taxicab today. Princess
Katherine Radziwiil, an aged Rus
sian noblewoman of revolutionary
tendencies and personal friend of the
kaiser, was tapped on the shoulder
by a United States immigration Of
fetal and requested to return on
board the liner on which she had ar
rived here a short time before. She
was told to wait aboard ship until she
could be taken to Ellis island for ex-
animation.
An element of mystery attaches to
the detention of the princess. Not
even Commissioner of immigration
Frederick G. Howe knows the COM
plant that led to the order to hold
her.
The princess is to give the first Of a
series of lectures here at o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. Her managers
Immediately began a vigorous fight for
her release.
Late tonight the mystery deepened
when II was learned that three So
ciety leaders about two weeks ago
requested the removal or their nam es
from the list of sponsors for the no.
blewoman's lecture tour. These wo-
men were Mrs. John Hays Hammond
Mrs. Dougles Robinson and Mrs. OF

would say was that she had found

men declined to say anything. The

FOOD SITUATION IS
NOW At sTAhOsT|ll
of Food Supply Enmeshcd in
Tangle of Red Tape.
DEPARTMENT UNABLE TO
PROCEED WITH RAPIDITY
Even Members of Agricultural Body
Are Making Complaint Against Sys-
tem-Great Expense Bulletin Has
Been Prepared.

Washington, April 29.--The admin.
istrations drive for the increase
land multiplication of Americas food
supply is beginning to be enmeshed
in tangle of red tape. which years
OF peaceful devotion to the most
peaceful of pursuits had wound
around the department of agriculture.
The food campaign is simply stand
ing still and wonderingly waiting for
some things to happen.
The dissatisfaction at conditions in
the department of agriculture on the
part of the leaders in congress is
growing. it was learned from admin
stration leaders here tonight. The
trouble lies in the stupendous amount
Of specialization in which the great
department has INDUCED at the sac
rifce OF coordination during the past
two decades. Within twenty years the
department of agriculture has grown
from n little department house in two
small buildings, and employing less
than five hundred clerks, TO ORC of
the biggest departments of the gov
eminent. with employees in Washing
ton numbering we'll above three thou
sand ana nearly one nunQre0 tnDD-
sand employees and special assistants
all over the land.
Agriculture Department Handicap.
With the sudden concentration of
the practical as well as the scientific
knowledge bottled up in the depart
ment a matter of necessity, the ad-
mnistration finds itself unable to pro-
coed as rapidly as is desired, congress
sional leaders say.
I Even in the department of agricui-
ture complaint against the system is
earnest. Last week the DEPARTING MT
had prepared at great expense bull
ietin which described a new line Of
conservation and urged the multiplied
ton OF the production of farm prod
ucts In the absence of the authorize
ton from the government, the depart
ment found itself without the funds
TO meet the cost of addressing the
envelopes collecting the bulletin. For
a week scientific experts of the bu-
reau, whence issued the bulletin. men
receiving $4,000 or 5000 per annum
Were worked as stenographers. helping
address 100. 600 copies OF the infor-
nation for farmers.

Marshal Joffre's address was sent

THE very cordial welcome given

expressions OF sympathy which reach

out the United States have moved me-
deeply since they are a homage, paid
