New York May Recommendation
that the government purchase that part
of the 1918 wheat crop which dealers are
unable to sell and that free movement
of all kinds OF grains from producers
to dealers be allowed, were made to the
United States food administration by
representatives. of all branches of the
countrys grain-handlng business here

committee representing a majority of
30 delegates from grain centers, hold
ing two-days conference with julius

tration grain corporation, were declared
TO express the opinion Of the trade as to
the best method of handling the 1918
crops.
L. g. Eikenberry of Camden, Ohio,
president of The Grain Dealers Nation
al Association, who headed the commit
tee, said it is essential in view of the
fact that the government has fixed the
price Of wheat and has limited owner
ship and storage Of coarse grains to 50
days. that steps be taken to assure ex-
peditous movement OF the current sea-
sons crops and to encourage heavy
planting next season. as a Win-the-war
policy.

CONSTRUCTIVE
CRITICISM" BY
COL. ROOSEVELT

Springfield, Mass, May lit IS
frequently said that IL we must have
criticism it should be constructive
criticism" Theodore Roosevelt de-
clared in an address here tonight.
Very WELL here is a constructive
criticism. l propose that we declare
war upon Turkey and Bulgaria this
week. | hope we will declare war
upon them tomorrow"
The Turks have massacred Ar
menians." Mr.. Roosevelt said, but
we have not declared war upon Tnr
key although she is one of the four
Central Powers. Instead. we nave
appointed days of prayer for the Ar
menians. Moreover. we have allowed
organizations to be recruited in this
country to fight for the recovery of
Palestine, something that should not
be permitted against a country with
which we are at peace. OF course
the situation is criminal absurdity."
1T is intimated," Mr.. Roosevelt
continued, that the GermaniZed
Russian Black Sea fleet may make a
dash into the Mediterranean. The
United States has destroyers operat-
ing over there with British and
French units. In case of this dash
will the Americans have to ascer-
tain the nationality before they fire."

u. S. FISHERMEN
WANT N. F. BAIT

ST. Johns. y. r., May IA move-
ment is under way to bring up for
action at the next regular session Of
the Newfoundland legislature the
question of making a reciprocal fish
cries agreement with the United
States similar to that recently con-
Guided between the United States
similar to that recently concluded
between the United States and Can
ada. Under treaty rights, enforced
by the decision of The Hague arbi-
tration tribunal in 1910. American
fishing vessels are permitted to OBJ
tain supplies of bait in the summer
and cargoes of herring for food in
the summer ana cargoes Of herring
for food in the winter at certain ports
on the west and south coasts Of
Newfoundland. Colonial statutes
forbid their entry to East coast ports
for these purposes.
For a long time American vessel
owners have been desirous Of hap
ing these privileges extended to all
Newfoundland ports. The present
suggestion is that this might be done
under an arrangement which would
permit Newfoundland vessels to
carry fish to ports in the United
states without the payment Of i'm
port duties. The matter has been
brought to the fore by the fact that
recently many Newfoundland fisher
men have left tho colony and accept
ed moro remunerative employment
on American vessels.

sistant postmaster general, who assert
ed that the present cost of carrying
newspa pers and periodicals. by mall Is
from 5.i cents per pound within 800
mile zone up to 10. He conceded that
3ss of the 81 cents represented over
head charges.
Correctness OF the figures was chal-
lenged before the committee by Senator
McCumber as well as representatives OF
the publishers.
George B. McAneny, chairman of the
postage rate committee of the America n
Newspaper Publishers Association,

departments figures were questioned
and that the possibility of getting ac-
curate figures was small in view of
which fact he suggested that increased
rates be deferred.
Stephen Farrelly. manager of tie

GERMAN NEWSPAPERS
LIE ABOUT DAMAGE TO
PARIS BY THEIR BIG GUNS

Paris, April 15.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-The dam
age in the Paris district by shells
from the long range German cannon
has been insignificant in proportion
to the mirth provoked by German
newspaper reports giving lurid ac-
counts of the damage, panic and con-
sternation in the French capital since
the bombardment began. One Ger
man paper says great numbers of
dead are buried at night: that the
people of Pals take their breakfast
and luncheon In their cellars and
that all those who can leave the
stricken city are fastening to safe
distance.
The situation in Paris has been
described fully by cable. No disorder
of any kind has occurred and instead
of CONSERVATION there reigns and has
reigned from the beginning perfect
TRANQUILITY No one pays further at
tention to the long range gun than
to speculate after each explosion as
to where the shell fell. Most of the
shells fall in the soft earth OF the
country districts.
The few shells that have reached
settled portions of the entrenched
camp of Paris have done astonish-
inGly little harm.
