Washington. June 23-Blanket au-
thority to increase the price of wheat
at primary and other markets above
the $3.50 q bushel minimum price
guaranteed by Presidential prociama-
ton last February 81, is given the
food administration grain corporation
in New York by an executive order
Of the President. The order issued
under authority Of the food control
law was made public today by Mr..
Hoover.
To carry out the purpose Of the
order. the corporation is authorized
to increase its capital stock from
$4,000, 600 to $3.50, 600, 900 in shares Of
a par value of 800 each. All the
stock will be owned by the govern
ment and will be purchased by the
food administration from time to time
as the necessity arises to maintain
the present $2.20 price and any in
creaseS authorized
While no explanation of the order
was given either at the food admin
istration or the White House. two
considerations were believed to in
fuerce the Presidents decision to
permit the grain corporation to pay
higher prices for wheat.
The first was the increased freight
rates which will become effective
Tuesday. Growers kust, bear this
increase and without an advance in
the price Of wheat their profits would

The second was believed TO lie the

Of revolt against the Imperial gov
eminent is common among both
the military and the civil popuia-
ton, according to Americans who
arrived here tonight on a Nor
wesian liner, after long residence
in Germany or adjacent neutral
countries.
Officers and men, the voyaaers
said, had told them of sullen-
ness which is widespread in the
German army, predicting that It
would reach the point where the
troops would refuse to fight.
"You see that | wear the coat Of
the Kaiser; only wish that you
could know the feeling that lies
beneath it", for we are net going
to stand this forever, German
major told Miss Olga Wursbcrs

The conversation, she declared,
took place in a hospital at Codes
berg. Germany, where the officer
talked freely to her, not suspect
, ing that she was an American.
Under the same conditions, she
declared. a private soldier said to
her, "Some day we are all going
to lay down our arms. Why
should we fight? Our officers
I now, instead Of leading US, go be-
hind us with their guns at our
backs"
Carl E. Olivarius, a Milwaukee
lawyer, returning from trip

with travellers from the Teutonic
