AN APPEAL FOR WHEAT

Federal Food Administrator Herbert c.
Hoover has issued an appeal to Delaware
farmers that they shall bring all OF their
wheat except their necessary reserve for
seed to market before May 1st. The ap-
peal was received in a telegram to Ed
mund Mitchell. the Federal Food Admin
istrator for Delaware. Mr. Hoover says
that this Is war call and service for
Uncle Sam. who IS fighting for his life
Tine appeal follows:
I'm order that we may comply with the
urgent demands Of the Allies for wheat
and at the same time take care OF our
own domestic supplies we urgently need
this year an earlier and more complete
marketing OF the wheat in the farmers
hands than usual. The Allies are taking
from us SO per cent OF other cereals than
wheat to mix in their bread. Inasmuoh
as the people Of the Allied countries and
soldiers must be fed with bread baked
In bakeries, it is impossible for them TO
prepare bread made wholly out Of other
cereals, and we must furnish them with
sufficient wheat to maintain their baker
loaves. 1 further appeal to all OF the
State Of Delaware that they shall bring
all OF their wheat, except their necessary
reserve for seed, to market before Nav
lst. This is a war call and a service for
Uncle Sam, who is fighting for his lie.
II your local miller is unable TO buy ali
the wheat that is offered. market IL in
the other customary trade channels
through which It will reach the Food
Administration Grain Corporation.

 The last word caught serious-mnd- ed James attention.
 "Auntie show me the train."
 Auniie pointed tO the deep founce which was set on with large plaits and which was long enough at the back for quite a sweep. James took it In his hands and examined it closely and si- lently for a few moments. Handing it back, he said solemnly:
 "I suppose you could call it a train. It looks something like cowcatch- er."

Western Newspaper Union New. Service.
 New York, June 3-One steamship. one schooner and two or three other vessels have been sunk off the ter sey coast by German submarines.
 The ships were attacked some time during the night. according to infor- nation which was received here. De tails were not immediately available.
 The port authorities barred the de- parture of outgoing ships this fore noon.
 It is presumed here that the sub marine or submarines are now being dealt with by American destroyers..
 One of the ships sunk was the Ed ward H. Cole. a sailing vessel.
 IL was asserted in shipping circles that it was possible that as many as six additional vessels were destroyed, not including those known to have been sunk
 Rumors of the presence Of German submarines off the American coast have been current for the past two weeks. the reports telling Of one or more having been sighted in southern waters.
 The attack upon American shipping almost al the very entrance of New York harbor is taken 10 mean that Germany has at last inaugurated submarine campaign to break up transport of troops 10 France
 IL is reported that another ship has been torpedoed off Nantucket
 Information received at the mari time exchange here indicated as many as fifteen vessels have been sunk
 Although there have been frequent rumors of submarines having crossed the Atlantic since America entered the war zone none has actually before attacked American shipping on this side of the Atlantic. In October. 1916. the German submarine U-53, after visiting Newport, R. L. lay in wait for British shipping off Nantucket light ship and got six victims.
 Within the last week South Amer ican ship arriving here brought re- ports of the presence of two German submarines in the vicinity of Der muda. The reports that fifteen yes sels had been sunk seems to indicate the presence of a number of sub marines and that the enemy has inaug- urated an attack in force

 With their left wing touching the Marne and their right linking up with the battle front at Noyon, the Ger mans in their new offensive are ham, mering the allied line apparently with the hope of crushing the Soissons sa- lient and opening up the way to Paris by way Of the Marne and the Oise.

King George and the princes, accom-.

the city hall.
All along the route the king was
greeted enthusiastically. At the city
hall several addresses were made,
welcoming the king to Paris and fe-
licitating him on the victory over the
Teutonic allies. King George ex-
pressed satisfaction that Paris had suf-
sered so little from the trials it had
Undergone.
Marshal Joffre also received warm
reception from the crowds. His car,
riage was surrounded by cheering
tArongs and it was necessary for the
gendarmes to make a passageway SO
that the marshal might regain his po
sition IN ihe procession.

WORKING IN HARMONY
Government Agencies Are Ter
minating War Contracts.
Officials Fear Effect of Too Rapid De
mobilization and Stoppage
of Work.

Washington, Dec. 2. Termination
of war contracts is being performed
by governmental agencies in charge,
with as much rapidity as the indus
trial situation will allow.
The Labor department, the War de-
partment and the War Industries
board are working in harmony on the
plan which began as soon as the
armistice was signed and which is
working out with great smoothness.
There is no doubt, however, that
the hysterical demand that Congress
pass legislation repeating appropria-
tions for war materials, thereby fore
ing the immediate termination of all
contracts without regard to the effect
on labor conditions and on the indi-
vidual community, is causing the
gravest apprehension among officials
charged with the duties of industrial
rehabilitation
Any such wholesale use of the AK on
wartime contracts, coupled with the
present scheme. of rapid demobiliza.
ton of the army, is looked on as GER
tain to bring about very serious sit
uation causing great social unrest and
foster the spread of Bolshevism in
the United States.
