To Buy for Allies, Too.

Not only will they purchase the
wheat for this government, but for the
allies and neutrals as well.
The millers likewise will come IN
der control of the food administration
and their wheat will be purchased and
flour distributed under the same con-
troll. AS must be apparent. the opera
tion Of this plan will preclude possi-
bility of trading in wheat for future de-

chants, receivers and others acting as

pie grain will be permitted to handle

1t is estimated that about 22o. 900. 900

This Is a sufficient quantity to supply

the country for about two years, II the

Do the prohibition features Of the
food control bill as amended by the
Senate committee on agriculture and
taken up for consideration by the SEN
ate today. really prohibit?
Do they forecast a bone dry" coun-
try during the war?
In the first place, there is nothing In
the bill. it was pointed out at the
Capitol today. which would prohibit
the importation of alcoholic beverages
of any kind
In the second place, there Is no pro-
vision in the bill to prohibit the sale
of alcoholic beverages in this country.
The bill as redrafted by the Senate
committee carries the House provision
prohibiting the use Of foodstuns IN
the manufacture Of distilled spirits and
malt beverages. It also carries a pro
hibition against the use OF foodstuns
in the manufacture of wines. unless
the President sees fit to authorize the
continuance Of the manufacture OF
wines from perishable fruits.

Disclosed in Confidence.

Consequently the detailed plans were
submitted to US in confidence and am
therefore not privileged at this time
to make any complete statement. Never
theless. there are in circulation many
unfounded and unauthorized rumors
affecting this situation. Therefore I
have decided to announce the plan de-
ctded upon in general. but must refrain
from discussing the matter in detail,
as that announcement must necessarily
come from Mr.. Hoover.
The plan decided on will permit re-
stricted competitive buying and selling
of all commodities for present and
future delivery. with the exception of
wheat. The United States government
through Its food administration will
completely dominate distribution of
wheat for domesetio and export pur-
poses.

committee adopted new amendment

Importation Not Prohibited.

There is nothing, however, which would
prevent the importation Of wines or Of
beer and ale. 1t was predicted today that
the importing business in such articles
would undergo a boom of considerable
proportions within the next few months.
The President, through the power given
him by Congress to control exports, un-
doubtedly will be able to prevent the
export Of grain or other foodstuffs from
the United States to any foreign nation
which proposes to manufacture from the
grain alcoholic beverages for export to
this country.
Already the opponents of the Senate

are beginning to shout. why should the

Where the action occurred was the
scene Of an ambuscade of the French in
the beginning of 1915, which resulted in
considerable French losses. When the
French attacked on this occasion the
position was peculiar. The southern
entrance of the enormous cavern. be-
tween Grotto farm and the monument
commemorative of Napoleonic victory
in 1914, was held by the French. The
northern entrance was held by the Ger
mans. The cavern was 500 feet long
and 300 feet broad. Across it the Ger
mans had built brick wall. Above. on
the ridge, the French and German
trenches were separated by only a few
yards The French objective was to
drive the Germans from the cavern and
gain the observation points on the sur
face.
BIT Prisoners Taken.
The German trenches were won in a
flank attack. While the southern en-
trance was filled with gas. which pene-
