u. S. Naval Officers

Refuse to Commit Themselves
On Invention; Quest tor
Destroyer Continues

Washington. May 9.-Naval officers
are from Missouri" regarding the
promises held forth by inventors OF /
boat destroyers. All demand to be
shown. and are neither optimistic no.
pessimistic. They refuse to make
themselves liable 10 deception or DIS
appointment, or to mislead the pubic
through inspiring undue hope.
Naval experts acknowledge that both
they and the scientists cooperating
with them have "leads." but they be
lieve that no details should be made
public at this time. IN the mean time
ana experiments will con
tinue. in the confden, expectation that
means will be found to deal effectively
with Germ&ny's U-boat campaign.
Additional information on expert
ments came to the Navy Department
to-day from scientists who have been
working independently Of the Naval
Consulting Board. A number Of con-
ferences were held. while the board
members who were present az the con
ference last night at Secretary Danlels's
home also remained in the city TO cor
tinue work with naval experts.
There is no doubt that some were
deeply impressed by what was dis
closed at the conference last night

Powerful Lobby
Trying to Defeat
y. S. Food Bills
Department of Justice May Be
Asked to Curb Agents OPP
posing War Measures
{ From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, May "a high Admin
istretion official today charged that a
powerful lobby was operating at the
capital to delay or defeat the pending
agricultural bills. He stated that the
government was already collecting evil
dence regarding this lobby. and that
unless it ceased its "pernicious activ'
lty' the Department of Justice would
be asked to take action.
This official charges that the lobby
was responsible for the delay in the
House on the fertilizer measure, which
has already passed the Senate. He said
that representatives of the great mill
ing concerns were active, and that lob
byists for the brewing and distilling
interests, breakfast fc5d manufactur-
crs and cold storage concerns were
bringing all possible influence TO bear
to delay or defeat the Administration
measures.
The agricultural bills authorize the
Secretary Of Agriculture to enforce
whole grain milling OF wheat and, If
necessary. the mixture OF wheat with
other fiours. The milling interests are
said to be using every device to defeat
the proposal. Secretary Houston be-
lieves that a great saving of wheat can
be effected if smaller quantities are
used in prepared breakfast foods.
Authority is also given for reducing
NJ Al
liquor business. Although Secretary
Houston declines to state his position
on this question, it is known that mem
bers Of the visiting foreign missions
have urged reduction Of the quantity
of grains used for beer and spirits.
The bill gives the Secretary of Agri-
culture wide authority to prevent the
holding of food in cold storage for
high prices. The storage people. it is
said, are vigorously attempting to de-
feat this section.

Secretary Declares U. 5.
and Canada May Export
100000 Bushels
No Cause for Alarm
Believes Crop Will Supply All
Needs, but Urges Increase
in Planting

Washington. May g There IS enough
wheat stored in the United States and
Canada, according to Secretary Hous-
ton, to supply our own needs and cX-
port 100000 bushels. While the
wheat situation is serious, as indicated
in the report of the Bureau OF crop
Estimates yesterday, it does not JUSTIFY
hysteria, he stated.
However, Secretary Houston made 1t
plain that there should be no dlminu-
ton of effort to secure the largest pos
sible planting of all agricultural crops
He said that. though the country was
far from famine, production and con-
servation measures were essential II
the United States was 10 assist the
Allies without suffering bread munger
There will not be, he added, as mucn
wheat for normal export as there was
during the last three years. In iS VI
the United States exported 2lo'o5z'ool
bushels of wheat; in 1918. 243, 'o3O
bushels, and in 1914, 332,4o4'S'o ouSh-
els. r
With the wheat needs Of Europe
greater than ever before II - a Pi 90
able that much more than l0O'OooVoo
bushels will be exported. To make TINS
possible, il is likely that the Depart
ment of Agriculture will invoke sucn
measures as whole grain milling and
mixed fours. to increase the American
surplus. The Administrator agrl-
cultural bill, brought up in the house
today. authorizes the Secretary OF Ag-
riculture to do this.
According to officials, the 1000 con
troll authorities Of England within the
last month have issued an order COM
Melting millers to mix 10 per cent OF
other cereal fours with wheat hour
and permitting the admiXture OF an ad-
ditional Is per cent Of other cereals,
similar mixed -four regulations have
been in operation in Germany Tor more
than a year. :..o, ~
Secretary Houston to-day pointed ouS
that. while corn was used as a human
food to a much larger extent IN this
country than in Europe, its use couia
he greatly increased without the slight

Campaign Begun
To Avert Return
To Spells System
Civil Service Reform Body
Advises Against "Pre-
paredness" Cloak

A campaign to prevent the Legis-
lature from breaking down the merit
system and reverting to the old spoils
method under the cloaks of prepared
ness" and emergency" was launched
last night at the annual meeting of the
Civil Service Reform Association at the
City Club.
Charges that the Legislature had neg
lectcd no opportunity to raid the civil
service for political purposes and to en-
list support for all sorts Of indefensible
political grab measures on the plea OF
emergency were made in a report sub
mitted by Nelson S. Spencer, president
Of the City Club and chairman of the
associations executive committee.
Cooperating on Plan
The report revealed that the National
Civil Service Reform League, of which
the New York association is branch,
was cooperating with the Council OF
, National Defence at Washington on a
scheme for recruiting civilian employees
for the extra work imposed by the war
to avert a situation such as that which
occurred during the Spanish-Americsn
War. At that time Congress created
more than 1000 positions for political
favorites, and later included most Of
them into the classified service, where
they remain to-day.
So far, it is said nothing OF the kind
has been attempted in the Federal
service. but the Legislature has been
extremely busy, according to Mr..
Spencer.
'To make the world safe for democ-
racy," he said, requires an effective
coordination of the military and civil
branches of the government. In normal
times it is disgraceful thing to weak
en- national, state and municipal eff
cheney by partisan appointments. In
time # war such a weakening becomes
almost criminal, because it may give
aid and comfort to the enemy"
legislatures Record Called Bad
"The record of the present LeglSlat-
ure stands out as the most disgraceful
in the history of civil service reform"
said George T. Reyes. secretary of the
association. "Not only has the public
pocketbook been picked to create jobs
for political favorites. but at a time
when elementary patriotism demanded
honesty and efficiency the Legislature
has descended to deliberate spoils mon
gering. How can we consider this as
any less reprehensiole than adulterst-
ing the food of our soldiers or their
gunpowder?
"Dishonesty and inefFiciency behind
the battle lines will be paid for in front
of the trenches. Not only will the eff
cheney of the civil service be impaired
by these partisan appointments, but
the appointees will be safely lodged
out of reach Of army CONSUMPTION. It
is impossible 10 say whether the Leg
islsture intended thus TO create safe
berths for slackers. but the fact re-
mains that the job has been done"
