Rookie Officers
Get Commands
At Plattsburg
from , stan Correspondent, o, Tie T1isuneI

Plattsburg, May 1.-THE full weight
of company administration which has
rested hitherto upon the army instruc-
tors at the training camp here, was
somewhat lightened to-day by the APP
pointment Of reserve officers to posts
of subordinate command.
These appointments are all temporary,
and other men will eventually take the
places of those chosen to-day. II is the
purpose of the camp to give every one
the opportunity. to command his Eel
lows. In the New York regiment 1876
reserve officers have received tempo
rary promotion from the rank and file.
In the New England regiment 142 have
been chosen.
The reserve officers take charge OF
the companies at morning rollcall
and for mess formations. They also
command attachments on fatigue de-
tail and on special duty about the can
Torment. Their work is under constan.
supervision by the regular officers.
During the morning the work Of inoc-
ulating the candidates against typhoid
was begun
The weeks work closed at noon with
q review by Major r. T. Collins, com
ment, of the ground thus far covered.
Major Collins impressed upon the
students that their first task will be TO

5000 Men Needed
To Bring N. Y. Guard
Up to War Strength

Major General John F. Organ, com
handing the New York division Of the
National Guard, yesterday received or
ders from Washington to recruit all
regiments, including the cavalry units,
still in state service, up to full war
strength.
The orders were immediately tele-
phoned to the various regimental ar
mories and formal written orders were
| later sent out. IL is presumed the War
Department will fill the quotas Of regi-
ments already in Federal service.
Under the new tables Of organiza-
ton the full war strength Of an in
fantry regiment is 2,002 men and 56
officers; of an artillery regiment, 1920
men and AZ officers; of cavalry regi-
ment, 1920 men and SO officers, and Of
an engineers regiment, 1861 men and
80 officers.
About 5000 men will be needed 10
bring the New York organizations up
to full war strength, but officers feel
that no difficulty will be experienced in
raising that number. In the last week
764 enlistments and 313 enrolments
have been received in the National
Guard. The 18th Infantry, colored, has
had 1874 new enlistments, the 7th, 100;
the Sth Coast Defence Command, 81,
and the 14th Infantry, SO.
Confidential advices received at divi-
sion headquarters from Washington in
dictate that the 9th Division Of the Ma
tonal Guard, which went to the Mexi-
can border under General Organ, will
be sent overseas as a tactical unit. An
nouncement on high authority was also
recently made that the New York
Division would be one OF the first con-
tingents to see foreign service.

Responsibility Rests
Upon the President

"The independent responsibility OF
the food administration directly under
the President. with the cooperation OF
the great and admirable organizations
Of the Department OF Agriculture, the
Department OF Commerce, the Federal
Trade Commission, and the railroad
executives"
81 conceive" says Mr.. Hoover. that
the essence Of all war administration
falls into two phases:
First, centralized and single respon-
sibility; second, delegation Of this re-
sponsibility 10 decentralized admins
trative organs"
The four branches Of food administ
tration are described by Mr. Hoover as
follows:
ain the first branch we should set up
a certain number Of separate execu-
tive bodies for regulation and admins
tration Of certain critical commodities.
and these should be organized on the
normal iines OF our commercial insti-
tutions, with n board OF directors. a
president and executive officers who
will work oct problems involved In
these commodities and will institute
such measures as may be necessary TO
stabilize prices and distribution. and
that these bodies should be constituted
Of the leaders OF the country. produc-
era. distributors, bankers and consum-
ers alike.

Food Hysteria,
Not Called For,
Houston Asserts
From The Tribune Bureau


Washington. May l9.--"There is no
need for people to get hysterical or
panicky over the food situation SAID
Secretary Houston to-day. TO be sure,
there is urgent need for large pro-
duction of foodstuf TO meet the neecs
of this country and TO supply the ma
tions with which we are cooperating
in this war, as well as in part to meet
the requirements of neutrals IN Europe
| believe that even after peace comes
this nation will be called upon for a
considerable time to meet the demands
for foodstuffs from abroad.
at is urged also that we conserve
food. that we eliminate all waste, that
the course of trade shall be free, and
that there shall be fair dealing. Hoard
ing of foodstuffs should be discour-
aged. Doubtless many persons VINO
have laid in excessive amounts of pro-
ducts will learn that they could have
purchased moro favorably by following
the ordinary practice, and that their
stocks NAV deteriorate in quality. Peo-
ME Of means should realize that by
engaging in the practice of boarding
thew will place an additional burden
on the less well-to-do people who are
compelled to purchase from day to day.
"There is no desire on the part or
any branch Of the government" Secre-
tary Houston continued, ito do any
thing else than promote the best in
terests of all the people of the nation
in the present emergency. The desire
is to disturb helpful and legitimate
industrial activities just as little as
possible.
Congress has been asked to vest in
the President certain emergency pow
ers. TO be in existence only during the
course Of the war. 1t seems essential
to the national safety that these pow
ers be given TO the President. 1t is not
improbable that some of them will not
be exercised, but the government ought
not to be without the requisite au-
thority. The government realizes tie
constructive and patriotic service which
can be rendered by the produce trade,
and will endeavor to assist, as far as
possible. members Of the trade whe
wish to do their share

VIII Educate Women
To Eliminate Waste

"The third equally important depart
mcnt is ono Of domestic economy. As
90 per cent of the ultimate food cor
sumption Of the country rs IN the hands
Of the women Of the country, we Will
shortly place before them plan OF
organization including policies as To
the elimination OF waste. the reduction
of consumption. the substitution OF
local commodies from those further
a6eld. the substitution of over-sbun-
dant commodities for those when we
wish 10 export TO our allies, ana IN
struction I'm the intelligent purchase
and use of foodstufs, and to set pubic
opinion against waste and extravaganza
in public places.
I'VE do not ask that the American
people should starve themselves, but
that they should eat plenty, wisely and
without waste.
1T is my present idea 10 propose a
plan 10 the American women by when
we ask every woman in control OF tne
household to join as an actual member
Of the food administration and give US
a pledge that she will. so far as her
means and circumstances permit. carry
out the instructions which we VIII give
her in detail from time 10 time.
1--WE hope to set up such an oreani-
zation over and above this vast army
of supporters as will give It efficiency
and intelligence in action. There is no
service in this war on behalf of our
own country and our allies IN which
the women of the country can so well
enlist themselves as in this service,
and the success of the food administra-
ton will rest very largely on the sup
port which we receive from them.
