 The statements in general show close unanimity of opinion. Some of them go so far as to say that in order 10 uphold the ideals of justice which actuate Mexico. the country should i'm mediately declare war on Germany. Others assert that German intrigues in Mexico offer ample reasons for sev- ering diplomatic relations, adding that Germany is endeavoring to provoke trouble between Mexico and the Unit ed States. It is asserted in some of the statements that Germany cannot deceive Mexico by offers of money and land and loans. nor by the prospect of recovering portions of Texas.

News Reaches Capital.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-A brief message from London today brought the navy department its news of the appointment of Vice Admiral Sims to command allied naval forces in Irish waters dur ing the absence of the commander of that district. The department had no other information as to the new responsibilities placed upon the American officer.
 The Washington government has given Admiral Sims wide pow CTS to enable him to meet any sit uation that may arise. Because of the distapce from Washington to the scene of operations, no effort was made to hamper him with re quirements that he report for or ders. The admiral has full au- thority to act on his own initiative in disposing the forces at his con- mand so as to secure the greatest cooperation with the French and British navies and also the maxi mum efficiency in the battle against German su' marines.

Women Promise Full Support Of Food Bills
Success of Measures Depends On Housewives of Nation, Hoover Tells Heads of Women's Organizations.
(By Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, June I5.-Heads Of the principal women's organizations of the country, meeting here with Her bert c. Hoover today. promised their full support for the food administra- tion. About 150 societies were repre- sented.
 The worlds food situation was put before the women by MT. Hoover, R. L. Wilbur, president of the Leland Stan ford university, who is serving as tenn porary chief of the food administra- tion's conservation section, and mem- bers of the women's committee of the council of national defense.
 MT. Hoover said the success of the food administration plans depend largely on the cooperation of the country's housewives. Women. he de- clared, are as much a part of the na- tional army as are the men fighting at the front.
 The scheme of organization and the plan for national registration of wom- en as actual members of the food ad- ministration were outlined at length by pr. Wilbur and members of the wom- ems committee. The regulation will be conducted largely by the women's organization under the direction of state defense councils and the wom- ems committee. Newspapers will be asked to print daily copies of pledge which women are to sign and mail into the food administration.
 After the women are enrolled. bak- CTS, butchers and members of like trades having to do with food distrf- button will be asked to register for service. They. too, will be required to follow definite instructions to be laid down by the food administration.
 Dr. Wilbur said that if the war lasts long enough Americans may be forced to wear unstarched clothes to preserve the starch supply for food

 OF GET-R|CH-QU|CK SCHEMES

NEW YORK, June 19.-Attempted murder, robbery and blackmail were interwoven in a confession made to United States Commissioner Gilchrist today by Mrs. Ray Hyman. the $50 per cent month banker" who is charged with appropriating money entrusted to her for investment without secur- ity, and which is said to exceed s50U.- 900.
 The woman's revelations brought the arrest of nine persons who were held in s2,5OO bail each, and warrants were issued for five others.
 Mrs. Hyman appeared before the commissioner in bankruptcy proceed ings. After five days in the Tombs prison, she decided to involve all who participated in her "get rich quick" scheme. she declared.

advices are the first to indicate that he has been at sea with his ships. The statement that Admi- ral Sims has noisted his flag as se- nior allied naval officer in Irish waters led to much speculation as to what American warshiU he might be using as a flagship, as presumably he would hoist his flag only aboard an American yes sel. The only facts disclosed by the department as to vessels now in European waters have been that destroyers have been sent to British ports and the naval collier Jupiter to a French port with sup plies.
 Tremendous responsibi Ii ti e have been placed on Admiral Sims shoulders. The tale of tor pedoed ships in Irish waters is an oft-repeated one. It has been said that even without the American vessels, the British have had thou sands of destroyers, submarine chasers of all sizes and kinds, mine sweepers, aircraft, and every other known method of combat ting submarines posted in these waters in the effort to keep open the shipping lanes.
 In some quarters, it was pointed out that the announcement that the American officer had been placed, even temporarily, in com mand of British forces greatly su- perior to those under the Ameri- can flag in those waters might have a political effect in Ireland, where the situation is turbulent with the approach of the Irish con vention period. It might tend to show beyond question, it was sug- gested, that the British and Amer icaD governments were in perfect accord.

 Mrs. Hyman charged that certain persons who had obtained large sums of money from her, and were expecting an exposure of swindle, tried to drown her in Oyster Bay by overturning their boat. After she had been res cued by life savers and had recovered, she alleged. sS,000 had been taken from her pocketbook by her compan- ions.
 Mrs. Hyman said that investments totaling approximately s500,000 were to have been wiped out by going into bankruptcy.

WORK DAY SH|F l ONLY
 AT. BU I F.
Situation Crows More Alarm ing; Police Report Threats Being Made Against Men Still Working In Mines.
(By Review Leased wire.)

BUTTE, Mont.:- June 1e.--Minins companies in the Butte district an- nounced that the mines will work only the day shift beginning tomorrow. The men who reported for the night shift were told to return to their homes and report for work in the morning. John Dillis, general manager of the Anacon- da Copper Mining company, said the plan of working the day shift only was for the safety of the men who desired ro work but who were intimidated by the Metal Mine Workers union, which has called a strike on the mines, so that they were afraid to report for work on the night shift. The mines, it was said, could use on the day shift all of the men who reported for work.
 It was indicated that no strike breakers would be used. Strikes called by miners and by electricians in mines of the Butte district spread when the members of the Butte Electrical union. who were employed by the mining companies, were called out. This fol lowed the refusal by ihe mining com panies of demands made earlier in the day.
 The electricians, in their demands, declared that unless the mining com panies brought pressure to bear on the Montana Power company to grant demands of the electricians and the mining companies also granted the demands recently made by the newly formed Metal Mine Workers union, the electricians employed by the min ing companies would be taken from the, mines.
 Soon after the electricians were called out of the mines, members of the Montana National guard were called to their quarters. There are three companies of guardsmen in Butte.
 The Metal Mine Workers union held it's regular meeting coday and an nounced that it had increased it's mem bership, but the total number was not stated. The police'report that men are being intimidated by sympathizers calling miners wives on the telephone and stating if their relatives continue to work in the mines they will not re- turn home some night.
 The calling out of the electricians in the mines will not affect the opera, tion of the mines unless the equip ments fail, it is declared. The cleo tricians who were called out are the men who look after the repairs.

WASHINGTON, June I9.-Incom- plete reports to American Red Cross headquarters here tonight showed more than S35,O00,O0O subscribed dur ing the first two days of the weeks campaign to raise s100,000,000 for war relief. Hundreds of communities had not been heard from, but from others returns poured in so rapidly that tabu- lators could not keep pace with them. . Several great individual donations helped to swell the total but the Red Cross War Council. expects later re ports to include a great multitude of smaller donations by people of mod crate means. whose subscriptions went far toward the eleventh hour over-sub- scription of the Liberty Loan last week.
 .Tonight's total did not include the contributions of many small city or town communities, particularly in the west, where it is said local campaign committees plan to withhold their to- tals until later in the week in the hope of avoiding a too optimistic spirit. New York City's total was nearing the s20.00O,000 mark, with s1.000.000 con- tributions from J. P Morgan and G. F. Baker.

Solution of Food Problem In America Will Mean Defeat of Germany's Submarine Campaign Declares Lord Rhondda.
(By Review Leased Wire)

LONDON, June 19.-'In this war. and especially at this stage. food pow CT is co-equal with man power" said Lord Rhondda, the new food control Ter. in an interview today. "The prob lem of Great Britain's food primarily depends upon the supply, and in the main the solution of the problem Of supply lies in America. l am sure they will not let us down."
 Lord Rhondda took over the duties of food controller today and this was his first interview with members of the American press.
 The whole problem of the nations food primarily depends upon the sup ply" he continued. And unless we can be assured of food sufficient to enable this and the other allied coun- tries of Europe to carry on the war to a successful conclusion it would be almost superfluous to appoint a food controller.
 Depends on America.
 ''The most perfect system of food control and most equitable regulation of prices would be a mere waste of time and effort unless every measure is taken to keep up the allied food sup ply.
 For this we depend to vital de- gree upon the United States and Can ada. No one recognizes that more fully than I do. Before MT. Hoover left for America had an opportunity of discussing with him the lessons he had drawn from his wonderful work in Belgium, and his plans as ro the allied food supply.
 "In accepting this office. one of it's few attractions-perhaps its only at- traction-was the knowledge that President Wilson had asked a man of Mir. Hoover's calibre, experience and understanding of the allies to attack in America those porblems which have an intimate bearing upon the food sit uatlon of the allies.

 My experiences in America before and since the war have given me an unusual opportunity of appreciating the vastness of her resources. If these are organized to their full capacity, I will be confident the German hope of starving the allies or causing civilian unrest by the scarcity of food or high prices is doomed to failure.
 We are doing what we can off our own bat by increasing home produc- tion and decreasing consumption, but fl the main the solution of the primary problem of supply lies in the hands of our American allies. I am sure they will not let us down."

 Under sharp and argumentative questioning by a group headed by Sen ators Gore, Reed and Vardaman. op- posing the legislation. MT. Hoover out lined his plans for conserving the na- tion's food supply. increasing produe- tion and cutting on the excessive prof it's of spectators. He did not conclude and will return to the capital Friday for further examination in an effort to clear up congressional and public misconception.
 Opposition Waning.
 The senate had only brief discus sion of the bill and recessed until to- morrow. With tut a handful of mem hers attending. house debate continued until late tonight. Opposition there appeared to be waning and leaders hoped to conclude general debate to- morrow, planning then to consider amendments and pass the bill by Fri day or Saturday.
 Food conditions which face the al- lies and this country were explained by MT. Hoover. Without government food control. he said. success in the war may be imperilled.
