Wilson Wins Again.

Washington Aug 2.-The deadlock Of
the eonferees on the administration food
control bill was broken yesterday and
complete agreement reached when the
senate conferees yielded and consented
to strike out the amendment proposing
a congressional committee to supervise
war expenditures which President VIII
son has opposed.
The conference agreement on the ad-
ministration food control bill was re-
ported to the house today. Both pro.
posals. which had been objected TO by
President Wilson, were stricken out Of
the bill by the conferees.
The house is expected to adopt the
conference report tomorrow and the
senate during the coming week after
much debate because Of the elimination
Of its war committee and food board
proposals.
The senate rules committee today
took up for consideration Senator
Weeks resolution for a congressional
committee on the conduct of the war.

ocrats, were joined by Senator Warren
Of Wyoming in voting to eliminate the
congressional committee clause, while
