FOOD BILL VOTE NEAR
SENATE AGREES TO ACT ON CON-
TRoL MEASURE TODAY.
Indiana Senator Declares Public
Doesn't Understand Proposed Leg
islation, But Wants It Anyway.

Washington, Aug. S.-By unanimous
will vote on the conference report on
the food bill at four o'clock this after
noon.
The conference report on the bill
again was the subject of debate in the
senate today. Most Republicans were
said to favor immediate adoption of
the report, and the principal opposition
came from Democratic members, not
ably Senators Reed, Hollis and Gore.
Senator New of Indiana, Republican,
declared the public does not under
stand the bin and expects the impossi-
BILE from it.
Nearly every senator has doubts as
to it's results" he said. mot ten mem
bers actually believe in it. But ii is
apparent that the senate is going to
give this bill to the administration and
the public because they want it, The
public has been led to believe that it
will reduce the cost of living and it
would be impolite to defeat it."
Senator Sherman of Illinois, Repub-
lican, declared that the public knows
no more of the measures scope than
"a Moslem does of the Lords prayer"
Speaking in opposition to the adOp-
ton of the conference report, Senator
! Gronna pronounced it "a victory for
the Standard Oil company and the
grain exchanges of the country" de-
claring there was nothing in it to con-
troll prices of the oils the farmer needs.
Control over fuel oil, he admitted, was
inserted in the bill, but said this was
only the product of petroleum after
gasoline had been extracted
you can't-fOol the American farm
er into believing that Kerosene and
gasoline have been placed under a con-
troll price" said he.

CHANGES MADE IN
BRITISH ADMIRALTY
Admiral Sir Burney Replaced by
Sir WemySS.
NEW HEAD OF NAVAL BOARD
Alan Anderson, Who Will Be Respon-
sible for, Ship Building Require
ments, Has knowledge of Boat
Building and Railroads.

London, Aug. S.-Oficial announce
ment was made at the admiralty that
Admiral Sir Cecil Burney, second sea
lord, had been replaced by Vice Adj
miral Sir RoSelyn WemysS.
Alan Garrett Anderson, hitherto vice
chairman of the wheat commission,
succeeds Sir Eric Campbell Geddes,
the new first lord of the admiralty, as
controller of naval construction.
Alan Anderson, who will be respon-
sible for the admiralty's shipbuilding
requirements, has a close knowledge
of both bodybuilding and railways. He
long was associated with a company of
shipping brokers and is director OF
the Midland railway. He is son of
Or. Elizabeth Carrot Anderson, we'll
known physician and the first woman
to be elected as mayor in England, be-
ing the chief magistrate of Aldeburgh.
First Step in Reorganization.
The changes are attracting much at
tention and are interpreted as the first
step in a reorganization which it is
supposed Sir Eric Campbell Geddes
was appointed to carry out.
In quarters where the existing ad-
miralty methods are regarded as I'M
satisfactory the present step is de-
nounced as a ''procrastinatory half
measure" and 1t is declared the change
ought to have been so complete as to
give the country resolute and ener-
getic admiralty permeated by an Of
fensive spirit"
There is no implicati ton of incapaclty
against Admiral Sir Cecil Burney,
whose services as Admiral Jellicoe's
second in command of the grand fleet
are recognized and an official an
nouncement states that he will be en-
ployed on special duty 1t is assumed
that as his record was made in active
command he may welcome the change.
Another change in the admiralty is
the removal of Sir William Graham
Greene from the permanent secretary
ship at the admiralty to secretary
ship in the ministry of munitions I'M
der Winston Churchill. Sir Williams
departure from the admiralty is re-
garded as of considerable Importance,
as the post of permanent secretary,
which he has held since 1911, always
has been largely responsible for the
continuity of admiralty tradition and
policy.

TO CABINET POST
George n. Barnes, Engineer,
Succeeds Arthur Henderson.
Acceptance Indicates Crisis
With Labor Party Over.

London, Aug 14.-George n.
Barnes, a former engineer, became
member of England's war cabinet to-
day, succeeding Arthur Henderson,
and the crisis resulting from Hender-
sons activities in connection with the
Stockholm Socialist conference ap-
peared to be avoided.
Barnes's acceptance of the post,
from which his labor colleague was
forced to resign. is taken as an indi-
cation that Henderson has not the sup
port of all leaders of his party AT a
conference today the executive COM
mittee of the labor party will agree
on vote early next week on the po-
sition to be taken by the party as a
whole
Despite denial of passports to
felt this vote will result in a victory
for the government. Henderson,
himself. has shown no disposition to
continue the fight, tho he did eriticise
Lloyd George sharply in addressing
the committee
He declared, however, it would be
in the national interest to reveal de-
tails of the controversy at this time
Great credit was given former Pre-
mier Asquith today for his part in
shilling the storm which has been
raging for days
When the debate, with its changes
and recommendations, was at its
height, Asquith arose and delivered a
speech which was warmly received
and appIauded by all factions
There is hope that the controversy
which admittedly might have a most
serious effect on the conduct of the
war. will not break out again There
is no assurance that such will be the
case however
