HOOVER CALLED DOWN.
HAlLWAIS WILL AVERT GRAVE
FOOD SHORTAGE.
Director General McAdoo Gives AS
surances That Transportation Trou-
bics VIII Not Cause Conditions
Forecast by Food Administrator
Hoover

Washington, Feb. 22.-Director
~encral McAdoo today gave assur-
ances that SO far as transportation
is concerned, there is no danger of
suffering from a serious food short
age in the eastern part of the coun-
try"
This was prompted by the warning
given last night by Food Administra-
tor Hoover that unless grain and
meat movement is greatly increased
in the next GO days the country is
threatened with an acute shortage of
food, and the program of food ship
ments to the allies will fail.
In letter to Mr.. Hoover, the di-
rector general declared that if the
food administration will give definite
information on the location of stocks
of supplies intended for the allies, the
railroads will move them promptly to
scaboard. simultaneously the railroad
administration gave out figures show
ing that the movement of grain to
primary markets in the West within
the last 10 days was far greater than
! in previous years.
Although declaring their desire to
avoid controversy with the food ad-
ministration, officials of the railroad
directorate tonight did not conceal
their belief that Mr.. Hoover's state
E,ent was not borne out by facts
shown in their reports. Members of
Mr.. McAdoo's staff assumed the at
t:tudc that Mr.. Hoover had dealt in
generalities, not supported by figures
or other evidences showing such a
pessimistic outlook on future foSd
conditions.

EAT LESS WHEAT.
PEOPLE URGED LARGELY TO RE
FRAN FROM USING FLOUR
FOR SIXTY DAYS.
Allies Must Have Grain-FOod Admin
istratOr Says It's Either More
Food for Allies or Defeat.

Philadelphia, Feb. 22-As a war
necessity the people must largely re-
frain from eating wheat flour for the
next sixty days, possibly for longer
period. This statement was made
today on the authority of Herbert c.
Hover, federal food administrator, by
Howard Heinz, administrator for
Pennsylvania, speaking before an au-
dience of newspaper managers. A
telegram was read from Mr.. Hoover
which made it plain that this country
must Immediately send food to the
allies or lose the war. If it is not
sent. it means but one thing, catas-
trophe, declared Mr.. Hoover.
The telegram from the food ad-
ministrator follows:
"The food situation of The Allies
grows more critical every week. Theil

creasing shortage Of shipping, which
iIiilS the llHpOTlullOUS y ore anC

do meet them the war cannot go on.
Il appeal therefore with renewed
earncstness to the people Of Pennsyl
vania and to our people all over tht
land to give their support TO attempt
Of the food administration to solv,
this food problem. It. is only by th
help Of all the people and their whole
hearted acceptance and support of tn
measures adopted by the food ad
ministration that the situation can b
met. Without his help the food can
not be sent. If it is not sent it mean
but one ng-catastrophe"

/ AMENDS RAILROAD BILL.
FINAL PASSAGE NAY COME
TUESDAY.
Adoption OF Provision to Include Lit
Gle Companies With Big Ones Un-
der Control.

Washington. Feb. 23.-Although the
house today adopted several amend
ments to the administration bill regu-
iating government control of the rail-
roads. including one empowering the
president to take over all short lines
competing with trunk lines, indica-
tlons tonight were that the measure
might not be passed before Tuesday.
District OF Columbia committee meas
ures have the right of way in the
house Monday. and there was dis
position on the part OF some members
to let the railroad bill go over until
Tuesday. However. Chairman Sims,
OF the house interstate commerce
committee. in charge OF the measure,
will make every effort to secure con-
tinuous consideration until final vote
is had.
The amendment to take over short
lines competing with the trunk roads
was offered by Representative Esch,
OF Wisconsin. who urged that 1t would
put them on the same basis as the
larger roads and would stabilize them
during the war. The original section
of the bill drawn by Representative
Webb OF North Carolina, and urged by
Director General McAdoo. provided
for taking over only such short lines
as were necessary I'm the operation of
the entire transportation system but
provided compensation for diversion

tion OF the war and shall be entitled

Tne short line amendment adopted
by the house differs from that in the
hili passed by the senate yesterday in
that II excludes any line not acting
as a common carrier and includes only
those that the president might deem,
necessary TO win the war. Advocates
OF the amendment said today in argu-
Ing for its passage that any small rail
roads which carried food, fuel or any
thing going into the manufacture o,
any war supply was aiding war worL
and that virtually all OF them would
be taken over. Another amendment

while all questions of distribution of
food supplies 10 the allies and of con-
servaton in consumption will be
handled by the food administration
but the chief reliance is upon the
farmer himself and I am sure that
that reliance will be justified by the
results. The chief thing to be kept
clearly in mind is that regulations OF
this sort are only a part of the great
general plan of mobilization into
which every element in the nation
enters in this war as i'm no other. The
business of war touches everybody. 1t
is stern business. "A cooperative busi-
ness. business Of energy and sac
riice. business of service in the
largest and the best and most stirring
sense of that great word"
