GRAIN MEN AGREE TO
SYSTEM OF FOOD CONTROL
Statement From Committee Declares
Administration Should Be Limited
to War-UpheavaI Predicted.

Washington.-After a conference
between Herbert c. Hoover and a
special committee of the council of
grain exchanges and committee from
the Western Grain exchange, the fol-
lowing statement has been issued on
behalf of the committee:
THE conclusion was reached by the
representatives of the grain trade
that the abnormal conditions existing
today as regards the necessity for
conservation of the food supply of
this country called for the creation of
a food administration clothed with
the necessary powers to work out
the unusual problem resulting from
the world war and that the existence
of such food administration should be
limited to the duration of the war.
1.-THE representatives of the grain
trade are convinced that with the
elimination of waste and proper con-
servation in this country an ample
supply of grain will be available for
domestic consumption as well as to
provide for the requirements of our
allies, and that the problem therefore
is one of administration.
Predictions of a social upheaval I'M
les sthe rising prices of food are
checked, were made by George w.
Anderson, United States attorney at
Boston and special assistant to At.
torney General Gregory in coordina.
ton of food Investigations, before the
house agricultural committee, in con
nection with the administration food
control bill.
Mr.. Anderson, with great emphasis
made this statement:
Something must be done. That 9
social and political upheaval is threat
ened can not be denied or disregard

with his ears to the ground knows it
There will be phenomenon in Amer

Lithunia Devastated.

Geneva, via Paris, May 1S.-The
Lithuanian bureau at Lausanne, has
made public statistics received from
the region of Lithuania occupied by
the Germans. From these it appears
that 100000 civilians are penniless
and starving, living in cellars and
dugouts. Four hundred thousand
farms in that region are reported to
have been devastated. The death rate
is growing alarmingly on account of
the insanitary conditions.

Foreigners Sent Home.

New York.-The remaining men,
bers of the Austrian diplomatic and
consular party and 100 Germans from
China were among those who booked
passage on a orwegian-American
liner Saturday. AS the vessel is neu-
trail and passes through neutral wa
ters exclusively, the management of
the line announced there was no need
of secrecy. Djelal Munif Bey. Turk
ish consul general, and his wife, and
Constantin Mayroudi Effendi, second
secretary of the Turkish embassy at
Washington, also were passengers.

else of those powers will be neces-
sary only in the few cases where
some small and selfish minority
proves unwilling to put the nations
interests above personal advantage
and that the whole country will
heartily support Mr.. Hoover's efforts
by supplying the necessary volun-
teer agencies throughout the country
for the intelligent control of food con-
sumption and securing the coopera-
ton of the most capable leaders of
the very interests most directly af-
fected, that the exercise of the pow
ers deputed to him will rest very
successfully upon the god will and
cooperation of the people themselves
and that the ordinary economic ma
chinery of the country will be left
substantially undisturbed.

Butter-Market remains unchanged
as to price at last weeks quotation
of 3S@39c for Washington creamery.
The undertone is some firmer, with
advance noted at Coast points and
predictions of an advance here. The
| low butter market for the season has
been reached, is the information
passed out by the factors in the
trade. Chicago and New York report
steady butter market.
| Eggs-It is now predicted that the
present month will see the big egg
production time instead of April, as
usual. But up to now receipts have
not been large enough to hammer
down the market; in fact, it is a lit
| tie firmer this week than last, quo
tations being 1895 to the producers
and $40 wholesale. No great amount
has as yet gone into the coolers, as
the demand keeps receipts pretty
we'll cleaned up.

about the same condition as for the
past several weeks, with no change
in quotations for the past two weeks

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

There has been less pronounced
development in the expansion in bust
ness during the past week or two
ment over the conditions prevailing a
year ago continue to be a noticeable
feature of the situation. The fact
that merchants have been anticipat-
ing their wants to a considerable ex-
tent tends to create lull in buying
at wholesale, while unreasonable
weather has been something of a fac
tor in retarding demands at retail.
The general resumption in indus
trial activities continues a feature of
the situation. There has been no rad
ical developments in connection with
the lumber trade, but the mills are
still booking orders and the under
tone of the market is firm, while full
forces, with enlarged pay rolls, give
the situation an undertone of opti-
mism and solidity.
Advancing prices continue one of
the striking elements in the situation
and tend to impart an element of un-
certainty, while shortages continue to
develop in lines of merchandise that
serve to prove embarrassing. The
conditions have served to stimulate
fall buying to a considerable extent
and both jobbing and retail stocks
are enlarged, in making provision
against possible shortages, and in an
ticipation of the inclination of con.
sumers to purchase with greater free
dom, and of a better grade Of mer.
chandise.

Meeting With Success.

With Buulecourt firmly in their
possession, the British troops are CIV

and have started another offensive
with the idea of bringing their forces
to the north of Bullecourt in align
ment with those within the village.
Sunday saw Field Marshal Haigs
men against the German line hard in
this region and carrying German po-
sitions over a front of more than a
mile between Fontaine les Croisselles
and Bullecourt, and hold them not

of a sanguinary character, and Lon

were inflicted on the Germans.

continues Intellectually in it's efforts
to crack the French line along the
Chemin des Danes. After a shell
fire of great intensity by all caliber
guns, not excepting asphyxiating gas
projectiles, the Germans Sunday en-
deavored to come out of the trenches
and attack in force. With their usual
display of expert craftsmanship, how
held the Teutons to their trenches
under a reciprocal artillery fire.
Wherever the Germans were able
to come into the open and dash to-
ward the French trenches they were
met with a whitening fire and suf-
fered heavy losses. Only at one place
northeast of Cerny, did they succeed,
after the payment of a heavy price in
killed and wounded, in penetrating
the French positions. At this point
advanced points on a front of about
200 yards were entered.
Germans Attack Russians.
Again comes news from the Rus
sian front that the Germans have at
tackled the Russian lines. The of
fensive has occurred in the vicinity
of Mitau, where they attacked but
were stopped by the fire of the Rus
sian artillery.
In Rumania the Germans also at
tackled the Russians east of Koveika
but here again the Teutons were dis
persed.
