OPPOSITION SHOWN IN SENATE TOWARD
 FOOD CONTROL BILL
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Considera' tion of the governments food bill pi,> viding for a survey and measures to stimulate production got well under way today in both houses of congress. It will be kept under debate almost continuously until passed.
 Speech-making today was confined largely to the opposition, vigorous if not widespread. with Senator Reed and former Speaker Cannon as the chief objectors.
 Senator Reed declared that any law which sought to interfere with suppf> and demand was essentially wrong, while Mir Cannon insisted that the whole survey program was ill-advised and unnecessary.
 Mir. Cannon made an unsuccessful ef- fort to have stricken from the bill the section authorizing the department of agriculture ro conduct an investigation of the food situation. The vote Tn the of the whole was n to Al. Chairman Lever. of the agricultural

SAYS WAR WILL LAST FROM TWO
 ID FIVE YEARS
Cabinet Members And Others Engaged In Conduct of Struggle, Explain Needs of Nation To Editors.
(By Review Leased Wire).

ADl hCNlcW LCdSCQ W llCJ. WASHINGTON, May 25.-Members of the cabinet and others actively en- gagged in the conduct of the war out lined war aims and needs today to technical and trade publications. All emphasized the magnitude of the task facing the nation and urged the pub fishers to support the government in the change from peace to war condi' tions in industry.
 The cabinet officers and represen- tatives of the Council of National De- fense told in detail of what the coun- cil is doing toward war preparations.
 The food situation was presented by Herbert c. Hoover, who will be named food administrator The country, he said. faces a war that probably will last from two to five years.
 That Allies grain needs this year, Mir Hoover said, will amount to about 1,0OO,OOO0OO bushels. America and Canada with good crops can fur nish 50 per cent of this without de- privation, but the Allies must have, he declared, at least so per cent of their needs to keep their efficiency at. the highest point
 Food Prices Too High
 That means some deprivation for us." said he, but we must fill their needs"
 Food prices in the United States are too high, and if they continue at the present level, he declared, wage re-adjustments must come or the working man cannot live. The first thing for the administration to ac- complish, NIT. Hoover, added, is price stability, not only for this country but for the Allies.
 Secretary Lane in setting forth the purposes of the United States in en- tering the war said:
 we are fighting feudalism. The German ruler is willing to go to any length to see a feudalistic system es- tablished. Our interest as a nation and as a democratic people is involv- ed in the war. The power that would do things that have been done. would. if England were conquered, demand Canada and we would live in haunt ing fear the rest of our lives.
 Allies Hard Pressed
 Put it in your editorials that Am erica is fighting for something real, that we do not want to 20 back to where one man can enforce his will on hundred million people"
 Secretary Baker declared the out come of this war would show wheth- CT the world is really progressing.
 "We are fighting" he said. against an impossible philosophy which has been founded on industrial ambition and aspiration. The imperial mind has been so obsessed with the idea of industrial supremacy that it has lost its sense of moral standardism."
 Every resource of the Allies. MT. Baker said, would be nearly exhaust ed when the United States enters the war. There is no way to establish permanent peace, he declareh except exercise of the superior force of the United States.
 Criticism Welcomed

ISSUE OF LABORATORY
PLANT is Up AGAIN
And 1t Looks To Be Certain For

LINTHICUM HAS CONFERENCE
Question OF Ammunition Testing Site
Brings Up Matter OF Local Interest

The question of the selection of a
site for the erection of the proposed
naval laboratory has been revived in
connection with the proposed estab-
lishment of an ammunition testing
ground at Gunpowder Neck, Hartford
County, and Annapolis still appears
to be the choice for the laboratory
sites And it looks as though Anna
polls will get the laboratory
Congressman Linthicum yesterday
took up the matter of the proving
ground at Gunpowder Neck with the
War Department, in order to ascer-
tain just what territory it is expected
win be taken in 1t is necessary
that about 10000 acres be acquired
consisting of all of Gunpowder Neck.
V hich comprises about IL 500 acres,
and likewise Poole's Island, which
lies to the south thereof AS to the
balance of the property, there are
several tentative arrangements, but
which seems to be most considered
is one which would not reach to
Perryman's nor go very far north
from the shore, but would reach a
line drawn possibly east and west
through Perryman's.
1t is contemplated to spend a very
large part of the appropriation in the
construction of the necessary build
irgs and all other equipment. The
land range will consist of about II
miles, while the water range will ex-
tend about 25 miles. 1t is expected
that 5000 shells will be tested at the
proving ground each day; about nine

The War Department seems to have
gone after the proving ground at Gun
powder Neck in a different manner
from that at Kent Island in that the
legislation as embraced in the bill Is
understood by the owners of property
and is intended to be fair and just to
them in every particular.
Another point not heretofore men
ton in connection with the proving
ground at Kent Island was brought
cut by Mr.. Linthicum when he said
that he had reliable authority for the
statement that had the proving
ground been established at Kent Is
land it would have been impossible

at Annapolis Mr. Edison is the only
member of the board to oppose Anna
polls. Il feel" said Mr.. Linthicum,
that Maryland will not get both the
proving ground and experimental sta
ton, which means so much for us"
Mr.. Linthicum was informed by
ordnance officers that the water
range at Gdnpowder Neck will net in
anywise interfere with the shipping
from Baltimore nor through the in
lard waterway which is gradually be-
ing constructed by Congress from
Poston to Key West, as might have
been the case with Kent Island

For Fiscal Year.
NEED NOT DRAW ON COMP
TROLLER
The $6,25O,O0O Appropriated For
Maintenance Of State Department
OF Education 10 Be Distrib-
uted to Elementary Schools
OF State.

In letter to County Boards OF
Education, NJ Bates Stephens, State
Superintendent of Schools, announces
that the State Department of Educa-
ton closed its fiscal years with a
balance sufficient to enable him to
waive his right to draw on the
Comptroller for his next quarterly in
stallment, and as a result $6,250.00
appropriated for the maintenance of
the State Department of Education
will go into the general school fund
and be distributed to the elementary
schools of the State.
The State Superintendent. acting
under the direction of the State Board
of Education, has now completed the
reorganization of his Department as
provided by the Legislature of 1916.
Under his direction he has three pro-
fessional assistants spending their
full time in the field studying the
needs and conditions of the schools,
and advising with school officials and
teachers in regard to the Improvement
CT the schools.
Samuel NJ. North, Supervisor of
High Schools, was formerly the prin-
cipal of a high school in Baltimore
County. He examines the organiza-
ton equipment and the quality of
teaching, and has general supervision
of all State-aided high schools. Dur
ing the year he visits each of these
schools at least once and most OF
them twice This year he is also in
speeding other schools that have the
ninth grade or second year high
school class.
William j. Holloway, Supervisor of
Rural Schools, was formerly County
Superintendent Of Schools in Wicom-
leo County. He is working directly
with the elementary school supervis-
ors in each county, and also helps
County superintendent devise ways
and means of improving teachers al
ready in service.
]. Walter Huntington, Supervisor OF
Colored Schools, was formerly
teacher of pedagogy in the Maryland
state Normal School, He directs the
industrial schools for colored child
rem, visits other colored schools, and
advises with colored school supervis-
airs, principals, and teachers. He also
devotes some time to the Maryland
Normal and Industrial School for Col
order Students at Bowie.
There is also an assistant super
intendent, clerk, and a stenogra-
pher to assist in keeping up the work
of the Department While his staff
is much smaller than is usually en-
ployed to direct the educational inter
csts of State, Superintendent Ste
phens believes that through it the
State Board of Education will con
tinue to render better service to the
cause of education in Maryland,
