GOVERNMENT FOOD
CONTROL ONLY WAY
TO MEET SITUATION

Washington, May 12.-Government
food control based on such laws as
those now before congress offers the
only solution of present soaring food
prices. Assistant Secretary of Agricul-
ture Vrooman declared today. Vroo-
man urged immediate and decisive fed
eral action, the necessity of which Is
emphasized, he declared, by the Chi
cago board of trade move to lower
wheat prices.
THE issue as to food control is
clear" Vrooman said. 1T Is an issue
between food control by the govern
ment on the one hand an food con-
troll by spectators on the other. To-
day we have food control by specula-
tors. Some one said few years ago
that Russia was 'despotism, tempered
by assassination some one might say
that we today are suffering from food
control by speculators, tempered by in
dictment.
THE energetic activities Of the de-
partment of justice have somewhat
checked operations of food gamblers
control them. The only governmental
control possible is a control based
upon such laws as those now before
congress, authorizing the department
of agriculture and the president to
establish minimum prices and other
wise act vigorously in the interest Of
both the producer and the consumer.
Every European nation has found 1t
necessary during the present war to
confer upon its government food con-
troll powers greater than those pro-
posed by the administration for our
government in the present emergency"

PARIS EAGERLY AWAITS THE
COMING OF M. TEDDY WITH
PICKED AMERICAN DIVISION
BY w. s. FORREST.
nited Press Staff Correspondent.

q Paris, May 12.-All Paris Is talk
Iing about Teddy Roosevelt's divis-
ion." The Partisan man in the street,
the discrete government official, the
Partisan housewife will ask any Amer
lean today the same question: when
do you think M. Teddy Roosevelt will
come to Paris with that picked Amer
lean division?"
1t Is perfectly safe to predict that
Paris will outdo almost any popular
manifestation in history-except pos
sibly the French revolution-if it has
chance to see Roosevelt marching
at the head of American troops, prob
ably under the Arc de Triomphe, down
the Avenue Champs d'Alysee and into
the Place de la Concord in front of
the chamber of deputies before going
out to deal with the enemy.
THAT GUIlDHALL SPEECH.
The popular French idea of Roose-
welt dates back. to Spanish war days.
Parisians remembering that Roosevelt
later came to Paris; how the redoubt-
able TEDDY" went to Africa to slay
ferocious wild beasts. and how he
Lister told the British something
straight from the shoulder in their
own home town, in his speech at
Guildhall, London. In short, the French
have an unshakable confidence in the
American ex-president. They regard
nlm as an IDEAL type OF American.
Frenchmen honor President Wilson
from the bottom of theiS hearts. They
put him down as one of the greatest
men in history. He is always spoken
of in reverent respectful tones. News
papers refer to him in what Americans
would call high brow" language,
THE INEVITABLE QUESTION.
But without detracting one whit
from Wilson's popularity here, there
Is different sort of enthusiasm for
7. r. Watch a cinema picture of
Roosevelt and the audience bursts into
cheering. Even mention of his name
brings enthusiastic applause. News
papers spread his name in big type.
and faces brighten, eyes flash-and
then comes the inevitable question:
When will M. Teddy arrive?"
Since America entered the war;
Paris has recorded the joy of France
in multiplied abundance. American
flags flutter everywhere: Frenchmen
wear the Stars and Stripes in minia-
ture buttons. Ambassador Sharp has
been granted the high honor of in
scribing his signature in the book of
gold in the HotelNde Vile. But Roose-
velt's has been there for years.

DEBATE LASTS FIVE HOURS.
Passage Of the amendment was pre-
ceded by regular orgy Of prohibition
debate which endured for five hours.
Senators Stone and Reed, of Mis-
souri,. fought skillfully by debate and
subtle amendments to defeat the
amendment.
At the last minute Senator 4ronna
offered substitute in the form Of q
drastic prohibition bill which would
have stopped entirely the manufac-
ture of all intoxicants.
STONE PLEADS FOR REVENUE.
During the afternoon the debate took
unique turns. Senator Stone pleaded
for the revenues derived from the
liquor industry. Senator Reed thought
the amendment unconstitutional. Sena-
tor Walsh believed it was constitu-
tional Senators Gronna and LaFol-
lette believed 1t was a real economic
measure. Senator Wadsworth, of New
York, pleaded for the retention Of
beer for the workingmen.
Stop the brewing of beer" he said,
and you will leave the workingp,en
only whisky. You will make the
American people a whisky drinking
people,"
In putting UP the amendment today,
the "drys" played a clever trick be-
cause the senate was under the 10
minute rule and no one could protest
very long against the measure but
those who protested lacked nothing in
volume and tone.

EASTERN OREGON HIT
BY CLOUDBURSTS AND
HEAVY DAMAGE DONE

Pendleton. Ore, May IL. = Two
cloudbursts hit eastern Oregon today,
and at least two men are dead and
property damage which may run we'll
into five figures done.
The first clouburst hit Eight Mile, a
Morrow county town southwest Of
here. and rushed down canyon-a
wall of water 80 feet high.< It washed
away house and an automobile in
the village of Eight Mile and some
distance from the town carried away
the Oregon Washington railroad
bridge. Engineer u. s. Hansen and
Frank Hablett. a section foreman,
were killed when a mixed freight and
train went into the canyon.
The second cloudburst-one of con-
siderable proportions-struck between
Helix and Adams about $3.50 o'clock
tonight and a large volume of water
swept down Greasewood canyon into
Wild Horse creek. Warnings were sent
out by telephone to all farmers living
along the creek, but 1t Is feared that
the damage will be considerable. Be-
cause Of damaged telephone lines, the
full extent of the damage could not be
up to a. late hour tonight.

PROPOSAL TO STOP
GRAIN SPECULATION

Chicago, May 12.-All wheat specula-
ton may be stopped on the Chicago
board of trade-the grain market of
the world. This was the consensus of
opinion among traders here.
Either the government win step in
and fix grain prices. 1t is believed, or
the board will take action forbidding
speculative deals In July and Septem-
Der futures similar to that which put a
quietus on May trading today.
When officials of the board, follow
ing q conference with federal officials
and representatives Of the allied gov
ernments late yesterday, forbade fur

ors did exactly as was anticipated

NEW AGREEMENT
ON ARMY MEASURE
EXPECTED SOON
Amendment for Picked VOL
unteer Army Will Be In
cluded, but May Not Meet
Presidents Approval.

Washington, May ~. - Colonel
Roosevelt's plan for picked volunteer
army to- fight in France will be up
to. President Wilson next week.
The house today Overwhelmingly
voted to refer back to conference the
conferees' report on the army bill,
which eliminated the coloners pet
scheme.
AT the same time, the house, by a
vote of 215 to ITS, instructed its con-
ferees to write into the measure a
provision authorizing the president to
raise four divisions of troops, all of
whom shall be picked men above the
age OF 70 years. While there is moth
Ing In the measure directing or even
suggesting that Colonel Roosevelt
shall be placed in command of the
force. 1t Is assumed that he would
be given place at the head of at
least a portion of them.
TO RESUME CONFERENCE.
The senate. without objection. late
To-Day allowed its original conferees to
resume their work in conference and
an agreement on the selective service
measure, leaving the so-called Roose-
velt amendment in, Is expected Mon.
day.
What the president will do about
naming Roosevelt to head one of the
volunteer divisions or brigades provid-
ed In the measure, is the big question
tonight. Today. while the Roosevelt
division was receiving Endorsement at
the hands of the house, the president
In speech declared flatly this is
no war for spontaneous impulse" that
this Is no war for amateurs" and
that "instrumentalities at hand" should
now be employed in fighting work.
STAFF AGAINST 1T.
This also Is the Judgment of the
general staff of the army AS a re-
suit the opinion prevails that while
the ex-president later may be given
an opportunity to lead troops into the
European battle fields, the first Amer
lean fighting forces to go abroad will
be led by regularly appointed army
officers now in active service of the
country.
The house and senate conferees will
meet at 10:30 Monday morning to be-
gin work on the army bill again. Bv
that time legislation for raising an
army Will have been mulled around
congress and in committee for more
than three weeks.

VOLUNTEERS WILL
NOW BE ACCEPTED
Twenty five Members of the
Regiment Recommended
by Commanding Officer
for Admission to Training
Camp for Reserve Officers

western division, Saturday
night issued orders to Colo
mel William III. Edelblute in
command of the Idaho Ma
tional Guard, to recruit the
Second Idaho up to its full
war strength. The recruit
ing machinery of the guard
was Immediately set in mo-
ton. A total of ATS men is
needed to bring the regiment
up to the desired strength.
Every effort will be made to recruit
that number OF men. Volunteers may
offer their services and If they pass
the physical examinations they will be
accepted.
THE EARLY RECRUITING.
After the regiment received orders
to assemble it's commands at respec-
tive stations. recruiting was started
and the membership of the organiza-
ton rapidly increased until many Of
the companies were up to war strength,
However, orders were later received
to cease recruiting and all recruiting
officers in the field were Immediately
recalled. Since then recruiting has
been at a minimum and few men who
offered their services were accepted
In fact many of them were turned
away.
Now that specific orders have been
received to resume recruiting and the
draft bill is promised passage in con-
gress. volunteers will probably offer
their services in such a responsive
manner that the men needed will soon
be mobilized at Boise.
RECOMMENDATIONS MADE.
Colonel Edelblute has recommended
to the western department, San Fran
cisco, 25 members of the Idaho Ma
tional Guard as material for officers to
be instructed at the officers training
corps at Preside. In addition he has
named 25 alternates. These men, so
In all. were recommended by the var
ious company commanders in the
guard and in addition Colonel Edel-
blute has forwarded their full military
record, showing time of service, etc
The commander of the western depart
ment reserves the right to accept the
first 25 men given preference or to re-
place some of them with the alternates
Colonel Edelblute says that the names
OF the guard members accepted from
the Second Idaho will be made public
by the western department on May 10.
Independent of the men recommend
ed from the Idaho National Guard by
the officers in command as requested
by the western department, a number
of the members of the guard had pre-
viously made application for admit
tance to the officers training camp
and were accepted. Two of them araI
