HOOVER BACK FROM EUROPE
SAYS U-boat Menace Makes Food SIT
nation Grave.

New York, May 3.-Herbert c. HOO
yer arrived from England today on an
American ship and said he would
proceed at once to Washington to as
sumo his new position as head Of the
country's food board.
Another passenger on the same YES
sci was the Right Rev. C. H. Brent,
Bishop of the Philippines, who
preached in St. Pauls Cathedral in
London in the presence of King
George and Queen Mary on "Ameri-
can Day.
Mr. Hoover said the U-boat menace
has made the food situation in Bel
GUM and Northern France one>of ex-
treme gravity. the mortality among
adults in the industrial districts hav-
ing multiplied by three during March
and April. He said he would go i'm
mediately to Washington.
Like every good American, have
come over to do my share" Mr. Hoo
YER said. "My new duty is too big a
proposition to discuss at this time. =
Mr.. Hoover was met by Baron Car
tier, Belgium minister to the united
States, who said he came from Wash
ington to. express his thanks and
reverence FOR the Belgian relief COM
MISSIONS accomplishments in his
country.
"The food situation in Belgium and
Northern France requires every effort
we can make" said Mr.. Hoover, who
does not intend to relinquish his po-
sition as head Of the Belgian commits
sion. cat present it is one OF ex-
treme gravity on account OF the e.
boat menace which has increased
alarmingly during the past eight
weeks. Wheat and corn are needed
badly and also pork and beef. The
commission by March l had strug-
gled to it's feet again after receiv-
ing the knockout blow Of the sub
| marine decree of February 1. Since
| March we have lost five loaded
boats, but in March and April sixty
thousand tons of foodstuffs were
landed. But this $4,000 was 100000
tons less than we actually requested.
Because Of the shortage the mortali-
ty in industrial districts multiplied
by three. The children, however, did
| not suffer. They are always looked
after first.
cat this time we have only thirty
| boats. I'VE need seventy"

that he take the matter up with the
ambassadors of Germany and AUS
tria.
Acting upon the request Of Secre-
tary Lansing, Count Won Bernstorfr
sent the case Of the German lunatlc
to the German consul at Atlanta for
investigation in the meantime, pass
ports we're rendered the German AMI
bassador and all the &c. nan consular
agents, leaving the case in the Rich
land Jail undetermined. The case OF
the Austrian in the Chester Jail was
also LETT unsettled because Of TIE
withdrawal Of the Austrian ambassa-
dor.
The state board of charities ana
corrections took up today with the
state hospital for the insane the mat
ter of making temporary provision
for caring at the hospital for these
two foreigners, both of whom might
POSSIBLY improve under treatment.
The state hospital has asked Attorney
General Peoples for an opinion as to
whether or not it could receive the
unfortunates, in view Of the fact that
the breaking Of diplomatic relations
with their countries makes it impos-
sible to carry out the law in reference
to the handling Of their cases.

VIGOROUS WAR On
CENSORSHIP MEASURE

Washington, May 3.-The Sight
against the censorship provisions OF
the Webb Gregory espionage biii rag
ed furiously in the house today. Al
the same time it was under FIRE from
. different angle in tie senate where
the embargo provisions were Subject
ed to attack on the ground Of its con-
stitutionality.
Representative Kahn, Of California,
led the attack on the censorship sec
ion Of the house.
THE so-ca1led censorship feature OF
this bill appears to be predicaied upon
the theory that the American press Is
to be treated as an ensmy d the conn-
try was Kahn's first assertion. Only
last week he was leading the admin
istration's fight for the passage Of the
selective draft bill.
"In all matters affecting the inter

pie, | believe that the newspapers
are not only painstakingly consistent
in their patriotic obligations, but thar

J. M. Barron Writes w. A. Withers
the Experience Of a Few Farm.
ere Around lola.

lola. Texas, Jan. 30.-Mr. w. A.
Withers Bryan, Texas = Friend
withers: As / promised you when
you were last over here to write you
a little Of the experience Of some OF
the farmers in this vicinity with pea
nuts this season, I will endeavor now
to comply with my promise. Allow
me to say first that what peanuts
we're planted here the past season was
not with q view Of selling them, but
to feed stock on, but after we got
thresher a good many Of them decid-
ed to thresh and sell part OF them
at least. So It has been just few
from each farmer that has been sold.
and wish to add also that owing to
the fact that no one contemplated
selling and had been feeding them to
stock, 1t is hard to get any accurate
figures as to the yield. have a few
that are accurate. however, and any
one can verify them by writing to the
parties named.
I. ID. Darby had two acres OF the
poorest land on his fathers farm in
peanuts. We threshed them for him.
He paid ~ cents per bushel for
threshing and | paid him SIS for the
nuts and he kept five bushels fol
seed. I have been paying sl.15 pei
bushel for them.
Jess Hicks. whose farm Is on Cobl
Prairie. had four acres threshed. II,
says they we're planted on his poores
land. I paid him sii1.37 for them. HI
sold all his. but will buy seed from
neighbor that he thinks was bette
matured than his. He also baled hi
hay and had 10 bales that he think
equal to alfalfa, from the fact that
good many nuts are left on the vine
|, and the threshing knocks and blow
, all the dirt out OF them.
, A. NJ. Darby says his peanuts bea
20-cent cotton. but have not the fil
, ures on his.
/. have shipped two cars this seaso
/, and from present indications we wi
: have fifteen TO twenty another SCI
. son. have personally tried peanu
\ oil for cooking and think II superio
a to compound lard and really equal
hog lard. Have also tried the met
and find II excellent for any kind {
stock.
I believe the industry Is only In II
infancy and do not think there Is an
danger OF Cutting the market for Sc
eral years at least
