The northeastern Kansas drouth of
several months duration was broken.
In western Kansas, where crops were
suffering critically because of lack of
moisture, the condition was decisively
relieved The precipitation, it is as

ers themselves.
The SanSa Fe today reported rain
falling over most of its territory, with
precipitation having fallen over the
entire district. Where rain had ceased

MAY DAY STRIKE
Germany Apprehensive of La
Dor Upheayal on May 1.
Drastic Measures by Govt to
FOrestaII Revolt.

Copenhagen, via. London, April 27.
ALI the German newspa pers today
indicate a deep and widespread ap-
prehension that a revival of last
weeks strike movement is imminent
The whispers of a possible May Day
strike which came from a few papers
Yesterday swelled today to an appeal
to the working men not to allow them
selves to be swept off their feet by
strike agitators nor to leave their
brothers in the field in the lurch by
checking the stream. of munitions and
supplies.
First and foremost comes the off
cial procla nation from Chancellor
Won -Hollweg, addressed
formally to the federal states, but
really to labor, ana containing both an
appeal and q stern warning against
further interference with the NUM-
lions work. The ways and means
committee of the reichsJag indirectly
seconds the appeal with communica-
ton to the army, thanking the heroes
of Arras and the western battle fields
and pledging the solid support of the
country in a difficult hour.
Unions Issue Manifesto.
A manifesto from the four big min
ers' unions warns their members
against reckless and regrettable &C
ton because of unsatisfa Glory food
conditions anO the ldlIuFe OF SOME
municipalities and local authorities to
provide the necessary supplementary
rations.
Don't permit yourselves in these
grave times to be dragged into rioting
and strikes" is the key sentence of the
manifesto showing that not merely an
orderly demonstration walkOut, but
actual violence is feared in the great
mining and manufacturing district of
Westfalen and Salisca.
Finally, there is another official an
nouncement that a great combing out
of the war industries is necessary and
imminent to revive men for the army.
This gives the government any needed
justification for sending to the front
munition workers who yield to temp
tation. The announcement declares
that large numbers of wOrkmen for
merly exempted from military service
so as to keep important industries
working must now be sent to the front
They will be replaced by men or
dered under the military auxiliary ser
vice law and by women.

WORLD DICTATOR
Food Control of All Nations to
Center in u. S.
Allies Content to Leave Prob
lem Entirely to Z. s.

Washington, April 27.-That some
one - American = possibly Herbert
Hoover, or Secretary of Labor Wilson
within the next few months will
become food dictator of the world was
indicated by developments at the in
ternational war conference of the al
lies here today.
More and more the war councifs
proceedings are crystallizing into a
monumental campaign to feed the al
lies. Finance and shipping problems
are coming to be considered COMPARE
lively collateral tho, of course, vital.
1t was taken for granted today that
it will be the policy of the allies, after
America has made her preliminary
contributions to her fighting sister
nations in men, money, food, shipping
and other things to entrust the United
States with absolute control of certain
phases of the war.
Wilson to Name Him.
That food will he one of the prob
lens left entirely in American hands
is believed certain.
This will mean that one man, or
small group of men. will be named by
President Wilson absolutely to domi-
nate the production and distribution
Of all food in the United States, Eng
land. France, Italy, Russia, Cuba and
the other allied countries.
1t is deemed probable that this step
will involve the formation of an inter
ally food commission. comprising q dt-
rector general of food for each nation,
with the American dictator as the
head of the commission.
This, it was officially pointed out,
has been the allies method of hand
ling ali its problems.

than food may be allotted to the
United States. but food will be the
most innnrtant
