FOOD SCARCITY
ENGLAND APPRECIATES ASSIST.
ANCE OF FOOD FROM
AMERICA.

Aberdeen, March 19.-Special: An
indication of the seriousness of the
food situation in England at the
present time is given in a statement
made by Lord Reading, British am
bassador to the United States, under
date of March 6. In this statement
Lord Reading expresses his apprecia-
ton and tells how greatly beholden
the Allies are to America for the sup
plies being received over there, par
ticularly in the matter of food.
The food situation in Great Brit
ain today is as serious as 1t has been
since the war began he said. I'VE
are now on the closest ration as re-
CARDS meat, butter, sugar and mar
garine that has been in force during
the war But the situation Is being
greatly relieved by what you are
shipping to us from here, especially
in cereals. Our ~rationing system has
the very great advantage that 1t re-
suits in equalization of treatment
among both the rich and the poor
Whatever theer is to distribute Is
now divided up impartially."

MARKET YOUR WHEAT
MIR. HOOVER WOULD HAVE 1T
ALL In BEFORE MAY.

Aberdeen, March Especial: A
special appeal to the farmers of
South Dakota that they shall bring
all of their wheat except their nee
essary reserves for seed to market
before May 16, as a war call and a
service for Uncle Sam, who Is fight
ing for his life, comes from Herbert
Hoover. United States food admins
traitor, by telegraph. The message is
being sen to all parts of the state
through every available channel by
G. N. Herreid, federal food admins
traitor for South Dakota.
Mr.. Hooyers' appeal follows:
I'm order that we may comply
with the urgent demands of the AL
lies for wheat and at the same time
take care of our own domestic sup
plies, we urgently need this year an
earlier and more complete marketing
of the wheat in farmers hands than
usual. The Allies are taking from us
so per cent of other cereals than
wheat to mix in their bread. Inas-
much as the people in allied coun-
tries and the soldiers must be fed
with bread baked in bakeries, 1t is
impossible for them to prepare bread
made wholly out of other cereals
and we must furnish them with suf-
ficient wheat to maintain their bak-
cry loaf.
II, therefore. appeal to all of the
farmers in the state of South Dakota
that they shall bring all of their
wheat except their necessary reserves
for seed to market before May Is.
This is a war call and a service for
Uncle Sam, who is fighting for his
life. If your local miller is unable
to buy all the wheat that is offered,
market it in the other customary
trade channels through which 1t will
reach the food administration grain
corporation"

Captain Was Young Woman.

There was, In the early days OF the
last century, a certain Captain Alexan-
drov, attached to the Russian Royal
Uhlans. The captains name was real
ly Nadeshda Durova, and "he" was a
young woman who, at the age of six
teen, had enlisted in a Cossack regf-
ment. Nadeshda fought at Gustadt In
1907, where she routed a party Of
French dragons, and carried a wound
ed officer away on her horse. She was
wounded at Smolensk and Borodno,
and took part in the marrying Of the
grand army in Its retreat from Mos
COW. The Russian emperor, Alexan-
der. was privy to the secret Of her sex,
and IT was by his instructions that she
was always treated at court as captain

tired from military service Mt the age
of twenty-five, and assumed the role,
more appropriate to her sex, Of

MYSTERY"
THAT BATTLES

\ war correspondent who has
given time patience, and earnest
trained investigating skill to try
ing TO find out whether Nicholas
Romanoff. once Gar of All the
Russias, and the members of the
late royal family are dead or alive
succeeds in entertainingly placing
all the elements of mystery III the
case. After long and painstaking
inquiry he learns that the only
foundation for the belief that the
fonner autocrat of Russia Is dead
is the word of some B0lsheviki,
which is not corroborated by any
one the correspondent has been
4hle to reach While the interest
ln Mr Romanoff is weak compared
t. tho concern that attached to ms
imperial person up to the summer
of 1917, the world retains enough
curiosity to want to know if he is
really dead or really alive.
1t would seem to be an easy job
10 settle that point. but the CORE
spondent declares the reverse Is
true. The longer the inquiry per
sisted the slenderer became the
evidence upon which rests the
general belief that the BolSheyik
firing squad ended the lives of
the Romanoff family in squalid
house at Ekaterinburg. The in
vestigator expected little or no
trouble in securing not only the
main facts and dates of the ease,
but all the thrilling and tragic
details. only to he disappointed
He found many people who had
seen the former royal family
scores who knew Of the occupancy
of particular house. always nm
der strict guard of stern-faced
Bolsheyiki soldiers. Bnt no one
lad ever heard of their execution,
although II was common knowl-
edge in Ekaterinburg that the
Romanoffs had moved. The only
testimony in support Of the Boil
sheviki statement that the family
had been shot to death was in a
number of holes in a wall and
floor of a room I'm the honSr oc
,upied by the imperial prisoners
But as the royal party included as
MANY attendants as members of
the family il seems strange that
no one could be found who knew
of an execution counting /
so many lives. Wherefore, the !
energetic investigator concluded
that the Romanoffs are dead only !
IN a psychological sense.
