Washington, July 16.-Herbert I.
Hoover, as food administrator, would
be succeeded BY board of three mem
ters. TO be named by the President and
confirmed by the Senate; the food con
troll bill would be limited to regulation
only of foodstuffs shipped in inter
state commerce. and minimum price
would be fixed for wheat, under an
agreement reached to-day by leaders
representing both parties in the Senate
In this conference the Democrats
we're represented by Senators Martin
Simmons and Gore; the Republicans by
Senators Lodge, Smoot and Kenyon.
This agreement, it was stated TO-
night by a man in a position to speak
for the Administration, would not be
satisfactory. In the first place, he said
the Administrations would almost as
soon have no bill at all as one the
effect Of which was limited to inter
etate commerce. Unable to touch prod
ucts raised and Consumed in the same
state, he declared, the food admlnistra-
ton would be reduced to impotence
and would exercise but little control
over food distribution in general.
A Gore Proposal
The suggestion OF limiting food con-
troll TO interstate commerce was made
nv Senator Gore. who is frankly OPP
pcsed to the entire bill, and. admit
ting such opposition, handed over the
right TO control its destinies on The
floor Of the Senate. his by right of be
ING chairman Of the Committee on
Agriculture, TO Senator Chamberlain
the next ranking Democrat on the com
nittee.
The impression was given by some
Senators at the Capitol to-day that the
President, while perhaps not in sympa'
tbv with the changes proposed BY the
bi-nartisan conference, would at least
tolerate them. This was given strength
because Just before the bipartisan
conference began, last Friday night
Senators Martin and Simmons spent
como time at the White House goine
over the situation with the President
The inference vas quickly draw
that the President had been told Jus'
what could be put through. and mac

Austrians Driven from An
other Village and 900
Prisoners Taken
Fighting Reported
On S00-Mile Line
Teutons Rushing Reserves
to East; $4,000 Taken
in Offensive

London, July 16.-Arrival Of Austro-
German reserves in constantly increas-
ing numbers on the threatened Lomnica
front in East Galicia has not yet
served to check Kornlof's drive,
though it has been somewhat slowed
down. After stiff fighting there yester-
day the Russians shattered several Wig
orous counter-attacks northeast OF
Kalusz, while southwest of that town,
OH the road to Dolina, the Austrians
were driven out of the eastern half Of
the village of Lodziany, losing more
than 900 prisoners and several machine
guns.
The Berlin official bulletin hints at
fighting over a vastly wider area, men
tioning lively engagements around
Riga, south of Dvinsk, in The wooded
Carpathians. on the Rumanian plains
and clear southwark to the Danube
delta, where that river flows into the
Black Sea. This would embrace prac-
tically the entire Russian western
front, but there is no suggestion that
there are coordinated movements
throughout the entire region, though
the pressure in the lower Carpathians
is admittedly growing heavier.
The presence of War Minister Ker-
ensky and his colleagues at the head
quarters of General Brusiloff may mean
either that'a new Russian attack is
imminent or that a German offensive
move is expected. There have been
suggestions recently that the German
General Staff has been massing troops
around Riga for counter thrust in
force along the Baltic shores toward
Petrograd. This campaign is said to
have been in contemplation just before
the Russion revolution.
$4,000 Prisoners Taken
The extraordinary success Of Brusi-
lofts smash in East Galicia may be
judged from the Petrograd Official bul-
letin of to-day, which declares that
from July to July 13 35.S99 Germans,
Austrians and Turks. including S34 Of
fcers, were captured. together with 90
heavy and light guns. 2S trench NOR
tars, 1913 machine guns, 43 mine throw
ers, 45 bomb throwers, 3 fame throw
ers. > airplancs and much other booty
and equipment. The prisoners repre-
sent almost a full German army corps
at pre-war strength.
German Reserves Fail
The German counter attacks 10 dis
lodge the Russians from Kalusz and
the north bank Of the Lomnica were
pressed with great energy to-day and
with superior numbers. Even after
their commander had been lost, the
Russians threw back the enemy in an
advance which brought in prisoners
and machine guns.
An all-day battle was waged around
Lodziany. in which the Austrians We're
elected from the village and driven
almost TO the Lomnica River. but the
arrival Of reserves compelled q Rus
rian retirement. They are now in
trenched in the eastern portion Of
Lodziany.
