be saved from famine. Recent dec
larations in the British parliament
were reviewed as supplementing this
evidence There was no attempt to
conceal the impression that the food
problem had taken on an aspect max
ing 1t incomparably the most press
ing question facing the United States
in its efforts to stem the progress of
the enemy.
To Take Energetic Steps.
Although details of the steps to be
taken We're not revealed, there were
indications tonight that more ener-
getic measures might be taken to
speed up the work of relieving the
food situation in the entente coun-
tries. These measures, it was pre-
dicted, would be the first to take
form as result of the international
war conferences here.
TO Speed Up Work.
What the navy will do directly to
combat the submarine menace has
not been fully developed, but Sec
retary Daniels is planning furthSt
conferences with shipbuilders TO
speed up the construction of destroy
ers, the most effective vessel against
undersea craft.
The cabinet considered only Briefly
the decision to send a mission headed
by Elihu Root to Russia. Internal
conditions in Russia are understood
to be rather unfavorable, but Off
cials believe that with the propef
organization and encouragement the
new democratic government cap be
revived into an even more powerful
tally in the cause against Germany.

Washington, April 27.-Evidence
of growing success for the ruthless
German submarine blockade has
forced the problem of supplying the
entente quickly with food and other
necessities sharply into the forefront
OF the American governments war
program.
Aroused by information brought to
this country by the British and
French war missions, President Will
son and his cabinet set about today
to launch with its full force as speed
lily as possible their campaign to
break down the blockade, planned by
the administration as the first physi-
cal stroke against Germany.
Food Problem Acute.
The food problem occupied the
cabinet meeting almost to the exclu-
sion of all the other important war
questions before the government.
Afterward it was indicated that the
recent submarine ravages were con-
sidered so successful that the United
States must marshal its resources i'm
mediately to put more merchant ships
in commission, to help devise some
means of fighting submarines, and to
insure a greater yield of foodstuffs to
offset the increasing destruction of
food cargoes in the war zone.
Must Act Quickly.
Members of the cabinet took to the
meeting a great quantity of informa-
ton given by the visiting missions,
including plea by some members OF
the French mission that America
must act quickly If the world is to

CHIEF Of GERMAN
SYSTEM IN j. {.
GOES To TRIAL.
Counsel for Won RinteIen OBJ
jeCtS to Having Client at
Mercy of Jury Listening to
Patriotic Air.


New York, April 27.-Ability to sit
in the jury box and look an alien
enemy in the face while the strains of
bands plays The star Spangled
Banner came through the window,
and yet give him fair trial." was a
prime qualification required by the
defense in choosing Jurors for the
trial here today of Capt Franz Rim
telen, of the German navy. He is ac-
cused with seven others of conspiracy
to disrupt the entente allies munitions
trade in this country by fomenting
strikes.
In setting up this qualification
counsel referred to the playing of pa
triotic airs by bands at recruiting
tents in City Hall square outside the
court. Before the work of getting the
jury began counsel objected to the
trial going on at this time on the
ground that the spirit of the times
would make an impartial trial i'm
possible. However, twelve men were
found who swore they could be fair
under all these conditions. The gov
ernment is said to regard the case as
the climax of it's numerous prosecu-
tions of German plots. The defend
ants include former Representatives
II. Robert Fowler and Frank Buchan-
an, David Lamar and Frank S. Mon
nett. 1t is charged that through
I.abor's National Peace council al
legged to have been mainly financed by
Rintelen, they brought about labor
troubles in munition plants and among
higher workers handling shipments.
Lamar, known as the wolf of Wall
street." brought from Atlanta federal
prison, where he is serving term for
impersonating a government officer,
elected to serve as his own counsel.
He objected to being placed on trial
on the ground that he had been kid
naped" by federal officers and
brought to court against his protest.
