TO WATCH.NEED FOR
FOOD-MOv|NG CARS
Mr.. Hoover will Keep Director
General McAdoo Fully
Informed.
TO GET ALLIES REPORTS

Food Administrator Hoover will hold
Director General McAdoo to his promise
that freight cars will be made available
for transportation to seaboard Of food
stuffs for the allies. Within the next two
or three days he will have completed an
organization to keep the director general
fully informed Of the car necessities, not
only Of the allied governments. but for
the domestic movement Of foodstuffs.
The food administration, it is announced
in a statement issued from Mr.. Hoover's
Office, directly purchases only minor
portion of the foodstuffs for the allied
governments. The bulk is purchased di-
rectly by the allied agencies, with the as
sistance of the food administration. These
agencies have made their own arrange
ments for transportation. and when cars
have not been forthcoming or there have
been other delays they have made their
complaints directly to railway traffic Of
ficials, keeping the food administration
informed only in a general way. That's
why Mr.. Hoover was unable to give the
detailed information requested by Mr..
McAdoo.
In the future there will be no lack of
SpeClnc information. Inc 1000 dQIHiH- :
istration has directed the allies pur-
chasing agencies to furnish it daily
with reports as to their requirements
in order that they may be transmitted
to the railroad administration.
The most serious problem" says the
food administration statement, SIS the
car needs. due to delayed movement Of
last years crops and Of livestock from
the primary country points to the in
terror terminals. the mills and the man
ufacturing centers. where they can be
purchased for export and domestic sup
ply. The presentation of these needs to
the railroad administration is being met
by the appointment of regional trans
portation agents for the food admins
established in Chicago
and proposed at New York and Atlanta
Their agencies will secure and furnish
information as to car necessities for
the primary movement of foodstuffs to
the regional railway administration.
'The food administration is confident
that in view of the director of rail
roads assurances as to the supply Of
cars, if brought to his attention, losses
of foodstuff through decay and possible
shortage in distribution or to the allies
will thus be averted."

Some Of the stories recently appear

HOW HAGUE SEES SHUN
ATTITUDE IN BELGIUM
Separatist Movement Regarded az
Sign Germans Realize Annexa-
ton Will Never Be Permitted.
BY W. J. L. KIEHL.

CableEram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1918.
THE HAGUE. Holland. February "a
Tho separatist movement fostered by
the Germans among the Flemish people
is regarded here as sign that the Ger
man government has fully grasped the
the annexation Of Belgium by its cap
tors. The Germans know well that
once they are out of Belgium not only
will the country be lost to them, but
with it will also go all their pre-war
business relations and the good will of
the Belgian people. For this reason
they try to increase the friction that
has always existed to greater or less
degree between the two nationalities
that go to make up the population OF
Belgium, the Flemings and the Wal
looms.
Recently there were so-called free
elections for members of the council of
Flanders in connection with which
meetings were held by the Flemlngs
in the large cities of Brussels, Ghent
and Antwerp. These showed the meas
ure of success obtained by the Germans
Nowhere had people of repute Joined in
the manifestations. which were greatly
exaggerated by the German newspa-
perS Leaders of Flemish thought now
in Holland say that the Germans rep
resent the movement for a separate
Flemish state is for the liberation
of the downtrodden Flemish people of
Belgium. who have long been oppressed
by the Walloons." Any one who knows
anything about Belgium knows that
the FlemingS are far more numerous
than the Walloons and can. by means
of the franchise, influence the govern
ant IN hn CarrHn h a d
jority in any country with parliament
tary representation. If they insisted
and made a united stand for it they
could have equal rights from their
the Flemish university. It did not re-
quire the Intervention of any foreign
government to secure for them these
rights and consequently it was plain
to the Flemings themselves that the
movement was engineered merely for
the purpose of sowing dissension
among them.
De Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant's
correspondent in Berlin had an inter-
view with Admiral Won Tirpitz, in
which the real designs of Germany
with regard to Belgium were disclosed.
He said that the Flamands had already
been formed into a separate state as
a counterpoise to Walloonia. in which
the French-speaking people were in
the majority. He made no secret of the
fact that by this means Germany seeks
to retain possession of the naval bases
it has secured on the Belgian coast.
IF possible would hold actual
possession as a suzerain power under
whose protection the state of Flamand
would voluntarily place ITSELF" he said.
"At the worst, if we were forced to
tain influence over the Flemish people
as a kindred race of German origin,
whose state could not have existed
but for German enterprise"

REFUTED BY
PARENT
Willing for Son to Enter Army
When Physical Condition
Permits.

Editor Globe:
Please permit me space in your val
ued columns IL express my resentment
of an article which APPEARED in the
issue of January > Of the Idaho County
Free Press, and to all intents and pur-
poses fathered by the editor, though
doped out by neighbor-one whose
chief desire was TO intiict an injury on
the writer and cast aspersions as to
his loyalty and although those famil-
lar with the circumstances are aware
Of the identity of the instigator, 1t
seems but just that refutation be made
to the falsehoods contained therein.
The article in question mentioned no
names and the reference made to the
enlistment in Company e and the dis
charge of the young man for physical
defects are practically correct, but as
to the charge that the boy would be
denied his home were he to reenlist, /
wish to enter Il fiat denial. and In ans
wer to the person who prompted its
publication, make the following state
ment:
"In answer to the misleading and I'M
truthful article published in the Free
Press on January Bird about father
not allowing his son to go to war, I
wish it known that l am perfectly
willing for my son to do his duty either
at home or abroad, when his age and
physical condition will permit. The
boy in question came near giving up his
life from severe attack of Brights
disease just before his enlistment In
Company Il, and at that time the ply
sician in charge of his case at Lewis
ton, where he was being treated, ad-
monished his parents to keep him away
from all excitement, and which instrlic-
ton was being carried out In the hope
that he would be enabled to regain his
health and be permitted to serve his
country If needed
AT this time am constrained to say
that IL the German war was q phoney
blood-curdling event such as the dicta-
tor who caused the article to be pub
lished has been identified with in this
city In years gone by, he would be
there with glad hand and silly smile,
but as 1t is reality he could not be
moved from his present seat of safety
with dynamite"
Thanking you for the favor extended,
