FEDERAL OFFICIALS CONFIDENT
FOURTH LOAN OVER-SUBSCRIBED

Washington. Oct. 2i.--Treasury Off

little certainty at this time either of
the total volume OF subscriptions or
the number of subscribers to the
Fourth Liberty Loan. TbeN felt no
doubt that the loan has been over
subscribed. but said many early mess
ages appeared too optimistic in the
light or actual figures now being com

estimate that 22,000. 900 individuals had
subscribed to the greatest war loan in
The history OF any nation.
Ibe Treasury expects to make no

der authority of the Food Control
Law was made public Monday by Mr..
Hoover. To carry out the purpose of
the order the corporation is author
lied to increase it's capital stock
from $50,000,000 to $3.50 ,OOO,0OO in
shares of a par value Of 500 each.
All the stock will be owned by the
Government and will be purchased
by the Food Administration from
time to time, as the necessity arises
to maintain the present 1920 price
and any increases authorized.
While no explanation of the order
was given either at the Food Admin
istration or the White House, two
considerations were believed to have
Influenced 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 must bear this increase and
without an advance in the price of
wheat their profits would be materi-
ally reduced. ,.
The second was believed to be the
situation resulting from the deadlock
in Congress over the Senate's amend
ment to the annual Agricultural APP
preparation Bill, increasing the mini
mum guaranteed price for wheat to
$3.50 bushel. The House has re-
fused to accept the amendment and
the Senate is to vote on it again this
week. In some quarters Monday
it was believed that the Presidents
action would be a factor in inf1u-
encing the Senate to 'recede from the
amendment.

MAJOR BELIEVING
TO COMMAND filters

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Aug. IA
Captain Douglas Nickle, of the Royal
Flying Force, who has arrived on his
way home to Kingston, Ont, said that
the British war office had decided to
form Canadian flying corps, which
was now in process of organization.
The credit for this is due according
to the captain, to Lieut. General Sir
R. E. w. Turner, V. c.. chief of the
Canadian gunnery staff whose efforts
to get the Canadian aviators working
together as unit have been untiring.
Colonel William A. Bishop, V. c., the
young Canadian flyer, whose destruc-
ton of Y German machines makes
him the champion Allied aviator, will
be the commander of the new corps.
Major Believing who arrived with
Capt. Nickle on his way to his home
in Vancouver, B. c., will be the Sec
ond. He has 80 enemy machines to
his credit and has received the Mill
tary Cross with two bars and the
French War Cross with gold palms for
mis- work on the western front.
The speed of the British machine
now, Capt. Nickle continued, was
about $50 miles on a average, and that
was fast enough. The object of the
British flying forces just now is to
develop machines which can climb
and manoeuvre speedily, and they
have realized it.-Vancouver Daily
