Wattles to Tell Nebraska
Food Men of Hoover'S Trip

Washington, D. G., Sept. 6.-(Spe-
cial. w. Wattles, food admins
traitor of Nebraska, reviewing the
work done at the conference of food
administrators, which came to close
today, said that generally Nebraska
had but a passing interest in the
subjects discussed as they were in
tended for sections other than the
Missouri river region.
Despite the bountiful harveSts, he
said the administrators were unani-
nous in declaring that food conser-
vaton must be intensified to meet
the growing demands of Our army
over the seas and the civilian popula-
ton of this and other countries.
Details of the sugar situation were
canvassed and it was the consensus
of opinion that the present ration
of two pounds per person per month
should be retained.
Mr.. Wattles said he would hold
state meeting of local administra-
tors at Omaha next week when he
would deliver the message Herbert
Hoover brought from the battlehelds
of Europe to the people of the United
States.

Countries they are spread through
out the whole of Germany.

Field Marshal Won Hindenburg,
whose vigor and fresh appearance
are emphasized by the correspond
ents, said:
THE fact that the Austrian often
sive on the Pave was not carried
out must not be taken too tragically.
1t certainly was not for a lack of
courage, for the troops fought splen-
didly. The reason must be sought
in the flooding of the Pave"
The field marshal said he looked
with confidence to Albania and Mace
donia, while in Palestine the Eng
lish had not succeeded with numerous
bloody attacks in shaking the re-
sistance of the Turks" He also re-
ferred to the British expeditions in
Persia and on the Thurman coast Of
Russia and then said:
"The decisive battle for the CEN
trail powers, however, is taking place
on the western front. where the CEN
trail powers are standing shoulder to
shoulder in a defensive battle.
1T is true we are suffering grlev-
ously from the war, but we shall
emerge stronger from it. We shall
