FOOD HOARDED
In WISCONSIN
Federal Agents Investigat-
ing Action Of Band Of
German Farmers
CBy Assoc,ated Press.)

Chicago, oct. 31.-Charges that "a
band Of Wisconsin farmers have de-
veloped a menacing attitude toward
the federal food administration, has
caused a hurry up call for federal
agents from here to tack charge of
the situation. Captain Thomas l.
Porter. local head of the secret
service is in Fort Atkinson, Wis, in
an attempt to round up the leaders
of a food boarding plot, supposed to
be under he influence of German
propagandists.
According to official reports a
number Of farmers, mostly of Ger
man birth, are circulating among
their neighbors spreading discomfort
and urging them not to sell but to
hold their products for higher prices.
Farmers who said they were fore
ed to sell Immediately have been Of
Sfered easy loans IL they would stay
away from the market, 1t is report
ed. and some persons who have tour
ed the state purchasing wheat. live
stock and general farm products,
have refused to sell at any price.
The provisions of the food act per-
NIT the government to contiscate
farm products not raised by the
owner. Up to the present, leaders OF
the band have claimed immunity
from the food act because they were
farmers. Recent rulings from Wash
ington were that farmers lose their
immunity as soon as they purchase
from others.

PEACE AIMS WILL NOT
Be DISCUSSED IN PARIS
Military Problems Will MonopoIizs
Attention Of Allied Representa-
tiVes at Conference.

Washington, Oct. 81. Andrew
Bonar Laws declaration in the house
of commons that war aims will not
he discussed at the coming allied
conference and that only questions
pertinent to the prosecution of the
war will be taken up. agrees with
the understanding of the u. $. gov
ernment. A definition and co-ordin-
alton of military effort is the chief
object, made moro than timely by
results of the Austro- German drive
into Italy.
One predominant question con-
Germs food and supplies, whether for
soldiers or civilians, and how to get
them to the right place in the quick
est possible time.
The effect of the war on the poll
tics of the world Is to have no place
in the deliberations and the present
political situation in any country
will be considered only in the light
of military necessity. Thus the
internal conditions OF Russia and
Italy and the measure Of men and
food and munitions to be given these
countries will be taken up as mill
tary problems.

Washington, Oct. 31.-As Germany

keep her prisoners of war in good
health, nor sufficient clothing, the
