HOOVER WARNS NATION
MUST BE ECONOMICAL

LONDON, Eng, April 22.-sThe first
and most important duty OF America
towards her European Allies is the
exercise Of the strictest economy in
foodstuffs and supplies such as are
needed by the Entente for the carry
ing on of the war" says Herbert c..
Hoover, formerly chairman of the
American commission for Belgian re-
lief and now making an examination
of the food situation in Europe for the
American government, in order to de-
termine how best American food sup
plies may be distributed.
IF the people of the United States
DO not exercise economy" he con-
tinued, speaking to the American peo-
pie through the Associated Press,
-they stand a grave chance of losing
in the war they have just committed
themselves to against Germany and
Germany's Allies, for the Entente can
not win this war without food.
The total stock of foodstuffs in the
Allied world is not sufficient to last
through the month OF September If
America continues her present con-
sumption"
During the two weeks which Mr..
Hoover has spent in London he has
laid the groundwork for interallied CO
operation In the handling and in the
transportation of the vast supplies OF

the audience. There were times
when the spirit of patriotism was rous-
ed to fever heat in fervor. There were
times when humanity rose up and
cried out against the affronts that
have been offered but there were no
times when there was manifested
spirit of vengeance or Of yindict1ye-

might be in this age and determine.
ton that they must cease were the
ruling sentiments The dead were en-.
logized as heroes who lost their lives
while maintaining the right OF the
principle that the seas are free TO all.
About a pavilion platform that was
decorated with the Star Spangled Ban
ner and the flag of Hawaii and with
mourning bands in black and white

That the Hawaiians died in the sery-

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, February 3.-Wheat prices
shot skyward today after a down plunge
of cents. The rise following amounted
to IA cents. Excited buying and nervous
fluctuations ensued until at the beginning
of the last hour. Then efforts to even up
short sales of wheat and to get out of
the market before the week end were
conducted on huge scale by the minor
ity who were caught On the bear side.
There was also a considerable amount of
fresh buying due to unfounded rumors
that Germany had offered to make con-
cessions to the United States. Some bull
ish sentiment was engendered by asser-
tons that with the navies of England.
France and the United States patrolling
the ocean. shipping would be facilitated
rather than hampered. From all these
causes combined eagerness to buy con-
tinued till the gong cleared the pit and
left final quotations within x of the high
est level of the session.
Corn and oats displayed temporary
acute weakness in response to the news
of the diplomatic rupture with Germany
There seemed, however. to have been no
need for such extensive short covering
later as in wheat. The widest changes in
foodstuff values did not reach cents.
Provisions gave way as much as 81
cents in some cases owing to the dis
closure Of the stand taken by the gov
eminent at Washington. In the end,
though, the market averaged exactly the
same as before relations with Germany
were cut
