Export Flour Seized
For New York Bakers

The possibility of q -four famine in
New York City led the food admins
tration to adopt radical measures yes
terday. Flour moving to Europe was
seized for the benefit of the city's
bakers. Notice is given that more will
be seized if necessary.
James II. Barnes, president of the
Food Administration Grain Corpora
ton, said: "The tide Of -four is turn
ing to the East and will soon be upon
us. Total receipts in New York yester-
day of -four were $4,000 barrels, and IT
requires only some $4,000 barrels to
supply this city.
"The Food Administration has TO-
coo barrels of -four now, in New York
for sale to local bakers, and if any one
in New York is alarmed about his -four
supplies he can be treasured by calling
upon the special committee handling
this resale OF -four, headed by Mr.. Clay
brook. president Of the New York Prod
uce Exchange.
81 can say positively that there will
be no -four famine in New York.
Further, we shall take from the cur

More Swedish Disclosures
Expected by Capital
SIAN Corespondencel

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE State
Department was informed to-day by
the American Legation at The Hague
in a cablegram dated yesterday that
the text of the Luxburg kilograms
from Buenos Ayres to the German
Foreign Office has not been published
in Germany. The inference was that
the German government either IN
tended to keep the German people in
ignorance of the proof furnished the
world by the United States of the prac-
tees of the government, or that it de-
sired to see the end Of the revelations
before attempting to make any case
for itself.
There were indications at the State
Department to-day that the end OF the
disclosures has not yet come, and this
fact was believed to be the main rea-
son why Sweden has neglected to date
to make representations either to the
United States or TO Argentina. 1t was
regarded as probable, also, that con-
versations between the Swedish and
Berlin Foreign Offices are now under
way, and, that Sweden is endeavoring
TO induce Germany TO assume all re-
sponsibilty for the improper uses
Sweden has permitted Germany to
make of her diplomatic privileges and
immunities.

Sweden's Explanation Not
Satisfactory to Britain,
Lord Cecil Intimates

LONDON, Sept. 14.--Lord Robert
Cecil, Minister of Blockade, discussed
with The Associated Press to-day the
Swedish revelations, indicating that the
statement issued BY the Swedish For
eign Office was not entirely satisfactory
to the British government.
"Sweden's explanation" he said,
seems to imply that not only have
they never complied with the assur-
ances given US in the early days of the
war, but also that they never intended
to comply with them. That is a rather
astonishing situation. But aside from
this there is another point, namely,
that it was quite improper proceeding
to send code kilograms of belligerent
government at all. That. to put it mild
" was the real impropriety."

Farmers Not
Bringing Out
Their Wheat
Minneapolis Bare; Hoover
Optimistic; Crops Not
To Be Seized
lStar Correspondencel

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA. - Partly
owing TO dissatisfsction on the part Of
farmers with the governments price of
1920 per bushel for wheat and partly
wheat may take his time since there is
TO possibility of a decline in the mar
ket, receipts of wheat at the country's
rreat terminal points are so light as to
create a feeling of uneasiness. The
condition is not critical, and reports of
a closing down of mills for want of
wheat to grind are greatly exagger-
ated; nevertheless, there is danger in
the situation. Those connected with
the machinery of food administration
are optimistic.
To-day Hoover denied that there was
any intention TO commander wheat
stocks held by farmers. At the same
time he CORRECTED a report that the
Washburn-C Crosby Mills, at Minneap-
ellis, had been compelled TO shut down
on account of a shortage of wheat
Except in certain very limited areas
where anti-war and pro- German propa-
ganda is being carried on" he said,
there is no disposition to withhold the
wheat from the government and the
Allies. The farmers are very busy
planting a very greatly increased acre
age of winter wheat. The report of the
millers' committee shows that all mills
in the Central and Southern states are
running over the normal Of last year,
and while the lateness Of the harvest
has shortened supplies TO mills in the
Northwestern secticny this is now rem
cdied by arrivals of Canadian wheat.

Minneapolis Almost
Bare of Wheat
Especial Correspondence

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 14.-The stor-
age elevators in Minneapolis hold but
$4,000 bushels of wheat, and that of in
ferior quality. Last year at the same
time, with prices so cents lower, the
terminal elevators there held 6,250,000
bushels. In the bins and barns Of
Minnesota, North and South Dakota
and Montana lie 20O.OO0,OOO bushels Of
newly harvested wheat.
Reports that the Northwest farmers
are dissatisfied with the price of SEQ
are true in a degree only.
For farmers are in the fields doing
fall ploughing as never before, pre-
pairing for record acreage in 1918, for
which they have q government guaran-
tee of $500 a bushel. This in the main
is why they are not hauling more wheat
to country stations.

LONDON, Sept. 14.-Whether the

inspired by the situation in Russia
or whether the reply to the Pope's

time will tell.

the occasion of his latest visit Beth

Reports from Austria tell Of SINH
lar wave Of optimism, the Hungarian
Catholics having organized to launch
a great peace movement, under the
leadership of the Prince Primate, DR..
Czernoch. That the wave of optimism
should coincide with the crisis in Rus
