PRESIDENT EXTENDS AUTHORITY OF FOOD
 ADMINISTRATION
Wider Latitude Is Given to the Board in Licensing Dealers in Various
 Products

Washington, May 14.-President Wilson today issued a proclamation extending the licensing authority of the food ad- ministration so as to give it wider lati- tude in the control of food distribution.
 Under the proclamation, effective June 1, all dealers or other handlers of cot- ton seed not already licensed who handle more than 20 tons of cotton seed year, importers, manufacturers or distributors of cotton seed hulls, and owners of ele- vators, warehouses or other places in which they are stored and brought under license.
 At present only handlers of cotton seed whose annual business exceeds 15o tons are licensed. Those who handle cotton seed hulls are to be brought under ii- cense, the administration said, so as to stabilize the business and eliminate any advantage they might have had over those who handled licensed cotton by products.
 of near-beer or other fermented bever- ages containing less than F of l per cent of alcohol are brought under license; packers of canned tuna fish, packers of any form of preserved salmon, operators of poultry and egg packing plants not already under license; ginners, buyers, agents.
 The proclamation does not affect retail CTS doing business of less than $l0o,o00 a year, farmers gardners associations or others with respect to the products of any farm garden or land owned, leased or cultivated by them.
 !. Poultry and egg packing plants doing an annual business of s5o000 or more all ready are licensed and the new proclama- ton brings all others into the same class.

TO OCCUPY UKRAINE

Germany's overthrow of the Ukraine government, with which it had made peace, is regarded by north Russia as step toward its occupation Within few weeks the future of Petrograd and Moscow probably will be deter mined. as it is considered that the Soviet government either must sub init to German domination or retreat eastward and prepare for q defense against the invaders.
 Effective resistance will be difficult without outside assistance, because or the lack of technical experts and sup plies.

Kaiser Said to Have Had Emperor Charles in Con- ference to Impress

London, May i4-The meeting of Em- peror Charles and Emperor William at German great headquarters has aroused keen speculation, which the official ac- county has done little to satisfy.
 There is an inclination, however, to take it for granted that the meeting re- suited in giving Germany firmer grip on Austria Hungary and the dual mon- archy's internal and external policies; in fact that from now on Austria-Hun- gary Will be little more than German colony.

 Emperor Charles IS pictured as doing penance for his peace letters to France and as promising not to offend again. Emperor William and his military adyis- CTS are seen as having accepted this promise at its face value, but as taking in the way of security for it's fulfill ment more active control of Austrian af- fairs. to Save them from anarchy, in the interest of the ruling German minority.

CAREFULLY DEVISED SCHEME

Washington, May 14.-In Germanyts continued aggression against the Rus sians there is seen here a carefully devised scheme involving more than the obvious purpose of the conqnerors to remove all possibility of farther menace on their eastern border and to exploit the resources of the helpless country. It is believed that, realizing their assaults against the allied lines in France will fail, the Ka iserss war chiefs Iwoposed to overrun and hold a great section Of Russian property to compensate for what they know they must restore in the west.
 Little hope is felt here that the bol- shevik government will succeed in of fering any appreciable resistance, no matter how far the Teutons may un- dertake to extend their grasp. The extent of actual military control may be restricted. however by difficulties
