THE FALSE CRY ABOUT FOOD
SHORTAGE.

With the most abundant crops the
country has ever had the cry of food
shortage" sounds ridiculous and Is
ridiculous.
The food SPECTATORS are the fellows
who are keeping 1t up.
Some of the advice 50 generously
offered Just now in this country as TO
the use and management of our food
supply is not as wise as It is well In.
tentioned Should necessity arise, all
OF us are supposed to be, and most OF
us are, ready to ignore the stomach's
demand for food and to tighten our
table until constant and daily hunger
Is felt to whatever degree the emer.
gency demands. That, however, Is
desperate remedy for desperate Ills.
for a nation underfed Is a nation de.
teriorating--a nation that Is lost II the
underfeeding goes on for any consider.
able period and is carried to any con-
siderable extent. -
There Is no present need In this
country for economy OF this sort, the
New York Times insists. What Is ex.
-
not to go hungry, not to weaken nina
and body by insufficient nourishment,
but to stop or minimize the actual
wastage OF food with which, as
people. we have been so often charged,
and TO which we have so often con
fessed. That we have been guilty OF
this offense Is true, but there has been

FOOD CONTROL IS
 NEAR ENACTMENT:
 CONFtREfS AGREE
Deadlock Broken When Sen ator Votes Against Sen
 ate Amendment,

Washington, Aug. 1.-The admins traton food control bill, stripped of the features opposed by President Wilson. was reported out of confer ence today, one month after the date the president had hoped to see it enacted into law.
 Enactment some time next week now is predicted.
 House conferees will report tomor- TOW and favorable action probably will be taken Friday. Senate ap- proval will follow next week, al- though debate is expected owing to the elimination of senate amendments for the war expenditures committee and the three members food control board.
 The deadlock in conference was broken by Senator Warren of Wyom- ing. Republican, in agreeing to vote with the Democrats to strike out the war expenditures committee amend ment, particularly objectionable to the president.
 Senator Warren is understood to have been influenced by tacit un- derstanding that the senate rules com mittee will report special measure to provide for a joint congressional committee on the conduct of the war. Administration ledaers will fight hard against it.
 Conferees from each house tonight declared they had been victorious. Senate conferees sacrificed the war expenditures amendment and the three member food control board amendment, while the house con- ferees accepted greatly restricted rice-fixing and control provisions, a s2 minimum for wheat and less drastic liquor section.
 Under the latter, the manufacture of distilled beverages is prohibited and the president is given authority to act against wines and beer, and to commander distilled liquors in and out of bond, if advisable.

U.B0A1 AWAITED
 COMING OF SHIPS
 WITH AMERICANS
Full Report of Admiral Gleaves Forwarded to
 Naval Committee.

Washington, Aug. "Details of the attack by German submarines on the first expedition of American troops to France became known for the first time today, when the report of Ad- miral Gleaves, commanding the naval convoy, was made public by Secretary Daniels.
 The first attack was made on the admiraps flagship, leading the first groups of the force, and at least two submarines were engaged
 The admiral stated the belief that the U-boats had knowledge of the coming of the ships and were on watch.
 The second group of transports also was attacked by two submarines, one of which was sent to the bottom by a bomb dropped from an American de- stroyer.
 There is disagreement among off, cers of the third group as to whether they were attacked but much evidence was offered to indicate they also had been attacked.
 Secretary Daniels made public the report of Admiral Gleaves. deleted on military information which might be of value to the enemy, after he had transmitted a full copy of the report in confidence, to the members of the senate naval committee. The commit tee had requested such report, after the statement had been made in the senate that the announcement of the submarine attacks on the expedition, on July 3, were exaggerated.
 When the inquiry first was made, a full report from Admiral Gleaves had not been submitted to the secre- tary, but the secretary stated he was willing to show the committee the partial report the department had re- ceived on the matter.

Fort Smith, Aug. Judge Frank Youmans in the United States district court today upheld the validity of the Adamson S-hour law, and ruled it an nulled any railway wage contract agreed to previous to the enactment of the law.
 Creditors and bondholders of the Fort Smith & Western railroad had asked for an order restraining the re- ceivers and the United States attorney from applying the law to the en- ployees of the road, on the ground that a wage contract previous to the enactment of the law has still year to run, and that the increased wages would impair the value of property, because the earnings would not per- init such an increase.
 Judge Youmans denied the petition.

Washington, Aug. IA resolution for submission to the states of a pro hibition amendment to the constitu- ton was adopted late today by the senate. The vote was 65 to 20. eight more than the necessary two-thirds. As adopted the resolution contains the provision that the states be asked to ratify the amendment within six years. The house still must act on the resolution.
 Senators opposing the resolution were:

 Republicans - Brandegee Halder, France, Lodge. Penrose, Wadsworth Warren and Weeks Total s.
 Senators Kirby ard Robinson of Arkansas voted for the resolution.
 First In Six Years.
 1'he pr1pOsed amendment is the first initiated since that providing for popular election of senators, approved in 1911. It is the first time that either branch of congress has ap- proved a constitutional amendment for prohibition. A few years ago a similar resolution in the house re- ceived a majority, but failed of the required two-thirds Prohibition lead ers of the house now claim enough votes to ensure submission of the amendment to the states.
 Senate action today came after three days of debate All efforts to amend failed, except for the addition of Senator Hardwicks amendment fixing the six year time limit within which three-fourths of the states must ratify, this being approved 66 to g3.
 As adopted the resolution, introduc ed by Senator Sheppard, will add the following articles to the constitution:

 Although there has been no au- thoritative statement on the subject the administration is understood to be agreeable to the main purposes of the resolution.
 Aliens are Specifically exempted from the draft law and state de partment opinion has been that the provisions could not be extended to them without special permission from their governments. Some repre- sentatives and senators have contend 'ed that the moral obligation is so clear that the law should be amend ed.

 MT. Owen was plainly proud of the fact that open bolls were found on August 1. despite eli matic conditions. He said there has been little weevil activity noted on that place. At the South Bend plantation, MT. Owen said, the crop is good, while it is not so good on the state con- vict farm at Cummins.
