Profit margins between the pro-

federal food administrator, who today
has written to Governor Capper in
detail concerning the food program
Hoover's statement to the governor
covers in general. the profits on all
food commodities He asserts that
while middiemen profits have been
reduced. producers revenues have
been increased {,
More than 5000 men are needed to
direct the government campaign
against food profiteers. Some three
thousand men and women have al
ready entered volunteer service. These
volunteer Investigators are paying
their own expenses, aiding the gov
eminent in a campaign to protect
both the producer and the. consumers.
Hoover declares that il will be i'm

of the congressional elections in No

To business it means. according to
pouring in on congress and the treas
AIRY, suspense and uncertainty.
MeAdoo is to tell Simmons and
kitchin the government must at once
provide means for raising much larg-
err revenues.
Convene in November?
1t Is therefore considered unlikely
that simmons and Kitchin will con-
vince McAdoo to defer the tax bill un-
til the December short session
If they do it probably will be with
the understanding that congress will
meet in November intead of Deem

Mount to 41,61s.
Probably for Heavy Fighting
Several Weeks Ago.

London. May 1.-THE total of
British casualties reported in the week
ending today is 41,612.
The are divided as follows:
Killed or died of wounds: Officers,
SOL; men 5.065.
Wounded or missing: Officers, e.
123. men, 33.s23.
Reports of British casualties usually
are not available for some time after
the actions in which they are sus-
tanned The large total in the last
week evidently represents losses suf-
fered when the fighting in Flanders
and P1cardy was at its height Com
plete records have not been given out,
hut it is probable that the casualties
reported in the last week are the
heaviest British losses of any week of
tie war. The total last week was
3S,691.
