Tn connection with the office work of the bureau, attention is called to the need of additional draftsmen, computers, clerks and instrument makers Emphasis is laid on the fact that the drafting work of the bureau is far above the average in technical requirements and calls for much ex- perience and superior judgment to properly apply the mass of informa- tion from all sources that goes to make up a nautical chart

tribution of food supplies to Allies
and of conservation in consumption
will be handled by the food adminis-
tration; but the chief reliance is up
on the farmer himself, and am sure
that reliance will be warranted by
the results. The chief thing to be
kept in mind is that regulations of
this sort are only part Of the great
general plan of mobilization into
which every element In the nation
enters in this war as in no other.

HERTLIN( SPEECH
z
Full Report Of German Chan
cellor's Address Shows Ger
man Miitarism Still in Sad
die Advance Somewhat
Toward Peace.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Count Won
Hertling's speech in the reichstag
yesterday, continuing the discussion
of the war aims of the belligerent
powers, has not changed the situa-
tion in the opinion of high officials
here. Instead of marking an advance
toward peace, it is regarded rather
as deliberately calculated to streng-
then the hands of the German mill
taristic party by endeavoring to con-
vince the German prdletariat of the
impracticable nature of President
Wilson's aims as disclosed in his last
address to congress Oh February II.
Speech Iro1ical.
While stating his badness to ac-
cept the presidents -four fundamen-
tai principles for basis of peace the
German chancellor dismissed them
as idealistic and unavoidable by in
sisting that they must depend for
their application upon the realiza-
tion of conditions which cannot be
met. In the official view his treat
ment of the subject was ironical and
designed for very different ends than
the advancement of peace.
There will be no immediate form
al comment upon this latest contri-
button to the debate on war aims anc
peace aspirations. Experience has
taught officials that important quail
fications are to be found usually in
the full text of the speeches of the
spokesmen of the Central powers.
Still Vague.
Attention Vas directed by officials
to President Wilson's former char
acterization of the German chancel-
lor's utterances as "very vague and
confusing" and it was said that the
presidents comment had a peculi-
arly apt application to the speech of
yesterday, in which. Won Hertlipg
signtfied his fundamentals agreement
with President Wilson's four princi-
pies.
President Wilson in his last ad-
dress to congress said of the chancel-
lor's speech delivered few days be-
fore:
"His discussion and acceptance of
our general principles lead him to
no practicable conclusions. He re-
fuses to apply them to the substan-
tial items which must constitute the
body of any final settlement"

WHEATLESS WEEK PREDICTED.
1t is possible that the government

the entire country to observe a

will be in the nature of an expedient

SPEECH and ACT
Summary Of Days War Events
Again Shows German Du-
picity- Attempt to Wipe
Out American Sector.
(By the Associated Press)

Although Chancellor Won Hertling
has declared Germany's intentions in
the east were not aggression and ag-
grandizement, German military au-
thorities have decided not to grant
an armistice on the Russian front in
view of the bolsheviki offer to accept
peace, and the German troops con-
tinue their onward march. The boil
sheliviki are now bending every effort
to save the revolution and Petroerad
from the hands of the invaders.
1t is rumored that the Germans
have reached Luga, midway between
Pskov and Petrograd. This is un-
confirmed. as is a report that the
enemy has advanced to a point half
way between Luga and Pskov.
Meanwhile, the street fighting in
Pskov goes on, the city changing
hands alternately.
Workmen and troops from Petro-
grad and troops from Moscow are
being sent to check or stop the ad-
vance on Petrograd. Women and
men are busily building trenches and
defensive positions around Petrograd.
The bolsheviki government, it is de-
clared, will retire to Moscowsif the
Germans take the capital. Disagree
ment in the council of workmen's
and soldiers delegates is reported
and it is added that Foreign Minis
ter Trotzky will quit the govern
ment.
A provisional government has been
formed in Esthonia with headquar-
ters at, Reval and the independence
of Esthonia has been proclaimed.
Chancellor Won Hertling said that
Germany would give self-government
to Courland and Lithuania, but it re-
ported from Switzerland that q Saxon
prince is to be made king of Lithu-
ania, which will be united to Saxony.
Artillery bombardments on the
western front have increased in in
tensity, especially in the Ypres Sec
tor, along the Chemin des Danes
and on both banks of the Meuse near
Verdun. On the American sector
northeast of Toul the Germans have
attempted unsuccessfully to wipe out
the Americans with flaming gas and
gas shells. Three American soldiers
were killed in two such attacks and
nine suffered seriously from the eff
fects of the gas. The American ar
tillery is Smelling the enemy positions
heavily.
No official recognition has yet been
taken of Chancellor Won Hertling's
speech. It is regarded in Washing
ton, London and Paris as war
speech and not peace statement.
The chancellor's purpose, an official
of the French Office says, was to sep
arate the Entente Allies, stimulate
peace talks, and impress Germany
and outside world with the notion
that the military caste had lost it's
power. Belgium, it is declared,
hardly will answer the chancellor's
peace hint.
German submarines have not let
up in their campaign against Span
ish shipping. The steamer Neuger,
of 1859 tons, is the latest victim.
She is the fifth Spaniard to be tor
pedoed within five weeks.

Formal Report.


Amsterdam, Feb. 26.-Following
is formal report of chancellor Won
Hertling's speech yesterday in the
reichstag:
After few preliminary remarks
by DR.. Hermann S. Paasche, vice.
president of the reichstag and the
first reading of the budget. Count
Won Hertling arose and said:
'The reichstag has a right to re-
ceive an explanatory statement in re-
gard to the foreign situation and the
attitude of the government concern
ing 1t. will meet the obligation
arising therefrom, even though I en-
tertain certain doubts as to the utility
and success of dialogs carried on by
ministers and statesmen of belliger-
ent countries.
Disagrees With Runciman.
"Mr. Runciman in the house of
commons recently expressed opin-
ion that we would get much nearer
peace If, instead of this, responsible
representatives of the belligerent
powers would come together in an
intimate meeting for discussions. I
can only agree with him that that
would be the way to remove numer-
Gus Intentional and unintentional
misunderstanding and compel our
enemies to take our words as they
are meant, and on their part also to
show their colors. I cannot, at any
rate, discover that the words which I
spoke here on two occasions were re-
ceived in hostile countries objective
ly and without prejudice. Moreover,
discussion in an intimate gathering
alone could lead to understanding on
many individual questions which can
really be settled only by compromise.
1T has been repeatedly said that
we do not contemplate retaining Bel
GUM, but that we must be safe
guarded from the danger Of a coun-
try with which we desire after the
war to live in peace and friendship,
becoming the object or jumping-off
ground Of enemy Vaccinations. II,

opposing side, for example, from the
government in Havre, we should not
adopt an antagonistic attitude, even

Washington, Feb. 23.-Prestdent
Wilson today raised the government
guaranteed price for the 1918 wheat
crop a. high as 1928 q bushel in one
primary market and In varying
sums in all other primary markets
except four. The Chicago price was
put at 1920.
Acting under authority of the food
law, the president thus met the agi-
tation in congress for higher prices
and took steps to stimulate produc-
tion and prevent holding back the
crop while the agitation was going
on.
The prices fixed, the president de-
clared, would assure the producer
reasonable profit.
In fixing a price now for the new
crop, which will not be harvested
until June, the president was believ-
ed to have two objects in view. The

1910 10 % 6uu lilo OVu0A "oo "
stimulate spring planting.
The Introduction of the price rails
ing bills had begun to check the
flow of wheat to market and food
administration officials feared that
mills soon would have to close down.
Hoping the legislation would pass,
farmers, it is declared, have been re-
fusing to sell at the present price of
S2.2o.
Bills Stopped Selling.
In enacting the food control law,
congress put q guaranteed price of
81 on next seasons crop and this has
been construed as minimum price.
To draw wheat to market the presi-
dent fixed price Of $500 on last
seasons yield and 1t had this effect
until the price-raising bills were in
trodueed. Then the flow began to
stop.
Food administration officials have
declared that If the bills passed the
government would be forced to raise
present prices to the new levels and
to do so would upset the food admin
j. istraton's flour and bread program.

proclamation the president said:
