WASHINGTON. May l9.-Mrs. Bel
Va Anna Lockwood. the first woman

at her home here today.
Mrs. Lockwood had herself told the
anecdote OF how she became one Of

Veterans Who Have Seen

WASHINGTON. May l9.-President
Wilson last night directed that an ex.
peditionary force of approximately a
division of regular troops which would
be about 10000 men, under the com.
mand OF Major General Pershing, pro-
ceed to France at as early date as
possible. General Pershing and his
stan will proceed the troops.
regiment of marines commanded
by Colonel Charles Doyan and COM
posed of veterans who have seen &C.
tive service in Haiti, San Domingo
and Cuba, will accompany the division
to be sent to France.
Secretary Daniels in making the an.
nouncement said that the marine regI.
ment would have strength of 2,6OO
men. They will be armed, equipped
and organized the same way as army
regiments in the expeditionary force.
The organizations which will compose
. the regiments will be brought home
from the tropics Immediately.
The American troops when they go
to the European battle front may take
their places TO buttress the little Bel.
gian line that is so tenaciously holding
fast to strip of territory on the
, extreme west which was all of Bel.
gium that escaped the invaders.
The war department this morning
had no announcement to add to It's
terse bulletin of last night, which
merely said that General Pershing
would lead division OF regulars
abroad at as early date as pos
sible, but President Wilson's state
ment explained his reasons for not
accepting at this time Colonel Roose-
velt's offer to lead division to
France
The presidents statement contained
phrase which has attracted much
attention and suggested that the Am.
erican troops may go to Belgium and
help TO right the wrongs that have
turned the world against Germany.
The president explained that the
regular army officers which the col.
onel wished to take with his division
were needed for "the Elore pressing
and necessary duty of training regu.
lar troops to be put in the field In
France and Belgium as fast as they
could be gotten ready" So far as
known this is the first official mention
of puttirg troops into Belgium.
The sentimental value of sending
troops bearing the American flag to
the violated soil of Belgium, in whose
behalf all humanity has been aroused,
has been quickly recognized.

 AFTER RETAILEES
FOOD ADMiNIST RAToR HOPES RETAILERS WILL CO-OPG-
 RATE WITH FARMERS.

Washington.-It is up to the retail CT. If he toes not deliver the nation $ food at it's several doors at a reason able price, means will be found to make Eim do so.
 This, summed up, expresses the at- titude of Herbert c. Hoover, food ad- ministrator, in announcing that, sub ject to cooperation of the farmer and the retailer, the corner has been turned in high prices"
 Most of the essential commodities should, one after another, continue to show reductions between now and the end of the year,p MT. Hoover said in a formal statement ''The food ad- ministration has no control of eith 1T the grower or his organizations, nor of the great majority of retailers.
 'The distribution chain lying be tween, that is, the warehouse, whole salers, commission men and manufac- turers of prime commodities, has re- quired a great deal of study and de- velopment for it's proper regulation, and these regulations are now com ing into force"
 MT. Hoover said he had every hope that the retailers will cooperate as the farmers and other food handlers are cooperating in an effort to feed the nation and the allies at reasona- ble prices. Everybody along the line down to the retailer, he declared al ready is helping. But the retailer has yet to toe the mark, because re- tail prices do not by any means re- fleet the wholesale prices, MT. Hoov- CT asserted.
 MT. Hoover informally described some of the trying situations through which the food administration had waded in it's efforts to see that all parts of the county are supplied with all kinds of foodstuffs. New York City, for instance, was on the verge of flour famine a few weeks ago, having only 8 hours supply available when emergency shipments were rushed to the dealers. Four hundred thousand barrels of flour were requi- S1tloned to meet the shortage.
 Wheat and flour regulations are helping the situation, MT. Hoover said. Asked when bread prices will be set, he replied that the food ad ministration is awaiting a finding on costs from the Federal Trade Com mission.
 In answer to a query why bread and flour are cheaper in France and England than here, he said both coun- tries subsidize these commodities. Moreover he said, in both countries it is common to make bread of flour from 25 to 40 per cent meal or pota- toes. If the Americans want cheap bread of this kind, he added. they can have it.

 OBS TACLES APPEAR.

Washington.-The Liberty loan campaign swings into the hone stretch with subscriptions of only $1,973, 100000, or slightly under 10 per cent of the hoped-for maximum. in the final spurt to the finish next Sat. urday officials said, it carries a hand leap. regarded as unnecessary. in the form of widespread reports that the totals announced by the Tretasury De partment are actually far below the totals really subscribed
 ''Ever since the latter part of the first week of the drive" reads the Treasury Departments statement, "almost three weeks ago, exaggerat- ed reports Of the total amount of sub. scriptions have been published daily in connection with stories that Treas ury Department figures were bearish to the extent of several hundred mil lion dollars
 "The policy of the department throughout the campaign has been to publish the latest official figures at hand exactly as returned by the diff
  erent federal reserve banks and to make public without change estimates forwarded to Washington by heads of the various district committees.
 "Committee ehairmen throughout the country have been asked to base their estimates on what they know to be the facts, and insofar as is known at the department they have done so.
 "The situation therefore, according to the best information that the de- partment possesses is that the sale to date are about $1,00G,0O0,000 short of the minimum and $3,000,O60, 900 short of the maximum quotas set for the country by Secretary McAdoo at the outset of the campaign He insisted that $3,000,00000 in bonds be sold and it was his expressed hope that the $5,O00000,000 mark would be reached.
 Vigorous efforts will be made in every district to raise the $5,000, ,00O- 900 total. The s3,000, ,000, ,000 mark is being lost sight of in the fight for the higher figure.
 "One of the strongest arguments to be used in the closing days of the campaign will be the figures for the seventh German war loans, just made public.
 After more than three years of war and with casualty list estimat- ed at S,500,00G persons, the German people, exclusive of soldiers, have sub scribed S3,107, ,500,000 to a loan. Noth- ing would give the kaiser and all other enemies of this country more pleas ure. it will be pointed out, than for the people of the United States to fail to subscribe a greater amount than this to the second Liberty loan. when they have had only one previous loan and virtually 10 casualties.
 '"Fhe general outlook for the sale is good. Only two disturbing ele- ments appear-the apathy of certain rural communities of the middle west and south and overco0fG once. bred by unfoundod optimistic reports Of sales.
