HOOVER PLANS
FOOD CONTROL

Washington, May 24-Offers to serve
without pay in the national food admin
istration were received in great numbers
today at the administrative offices open
ed yesterday by Herbert C. Hoover. No
names were made public, but it was said
a surprising number of prominent ami
able business men were among the volur-
teers.
Mr. Hoover, who agreed to act as food
administrator on the condition that he
and most of his aids serve without nav,
will select the men who are to work with
him without delay and will proceed with
organization of the administration to be
ready to start work at soon as Congress
passes the food bills. Today he went over
details at a conference with President
Wilson.
The food administration will be divided
into four branches. The first will COM
prise a number of separate executive
bodies for regulation of certain commod-
tiles, organized along the lines of COM
mercial institutions. with a board of di-
rectors, president and officers who will
work out problems involved in handling
the commodities and who will institute
measures necessary to regulate dstribu-
ton and prices. The membership Of the
executive bodies will comprise leading
producers, distributors bankers and con-
sumers.
The second branch will handle matters
of cooperation with the states and will
direct local distribution of foodstuffs and
seek to prevent Illegal practices.
The third branch will deal with ques-
tons of domestic economy and will put
before the women of the country a plan
of organization to conserve foods within
the household. Every American woman
will be asked to become an actual mem
Der of the food administration.
The fourth branch will have to do with
food exports and probably will assist III
purchasing for the Allies and the Euro
pean neutral countries to eliminate com
petition and force down prices.
Today Mr. Hoover received kilograms
from more than half the state governors
promising the fullest cooperation Some
even offered to call special sessions Of
the Legislatures to take up measures Of
aid for the administration. Most of the
states will assist through the food divis-
ions of the state defense councils.

Wherever one turns he sees a soldier on

Already two Germans are under arrest
as a precautionary measure, so the gov

The other arrest is a more serious mat
ter. Conrad Andre. former German con-
sui at the important southern city of
Cebu, for months has been the center of
rumors that connected him with plot
TO stir up malcontents among the Fill
pinos to open revolt These reports ac-
cused him of having kept lists of men
who had figured in instructions against
the United States here. He was suppose
to have offered s. to each eX-insurrecto
who would sign a document pledging his
support to this revolt. His agents work
ed in every part of the island and they
attained considerable success-in getting
signatures and finding men to accept the
five dollar bride. But their success never
went beyond that. There has never been
a time in the Philippine Islands when the
seeds Of an insurrection were sown on
more barren soil
Prosperity among the people, graft

sions of autonomy. fear of an indepen-
dent future at a time when the world
was torn asunder by war. and loyalty
to the present administration of the
islaaSs for a consistently pro-Philipino
policy-all these facts have operated to
keep every element of the population
from joining in the Andre movement.
Even the promise of German support
and German money in fight to gain in
dependence seemingly had no weight.
The most hardened enemies of American
rule saw in the plan the project of
mailman and il never for a moment had
a chance of success. The authorities,
however, arc keeping a close watch on
all Germans here. 1t is probable that
there arc nearly 1900 Germans in the
