NJ HOOVER

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.
Hoover for a large movement of
grain from any specific point to an
other until this morning.
Actual Figures.
The official statement of the trans
portation Of grain roads in part:
There has now been about two
weeks OF moderately good weather,
during which time an extraordinary
effort has been put forth by the rail-
roads. For the week ending February
Is. 22,1O4.OOO bushels OF grain were re-
ceived at Western primary markets
which were the largest receipts for
one week in two years.
THE average number of cars of
grain being loaded is 5000 which is
approximately 100000 bushels daily.
This will certainly increase in pro-
portion as the weather moderates."
Mr.. Hoover had said on Thursday
that to meet the requirements of the
allies, the railroads must steadily load
and move 100000 bushels of grain
daily. Mr.. McAdoo's shipments of
100000 daily, 1t was explained by
Judge Edward n. Chambers, of the
Railroad Administration, does not ac-
count at all for any movement of
wheat and -four.
Specific Requests Needed.
These must be on specific requests
from the Food Administrator. There
have been no such requests, It is
contended.
Besides the large grain ship
ments, the Railroads Administra-
tion reported yesterday that IL had
shipped 1853 carloads of livestock
from Chicago and 1850 carloads of
special foods within the week of
February IL to 19. In the same
time grain loading was accom-
plished, sufficient to bring the total
wheat ready for shipment, IL the
Food Administrator orders It to at
least two and a half million bushels.

Matchmaking power was left with the
President as intended in the bill. SEN

amended. He offered a change speci-
flying that the Commission should
have power to suspend Presidential
rates, and also should approve any
increased rates suggested by the Pres

When the question of confning
the returns to five per cent came
up, Senator Smith of South Carolina,
in charge of the bill, objected stren-
uously.
what we are passing this bill
for is to win the war. and not to
calculate to a nicely what the roads
shall get" he said.
II trust II this amendment is de-
feated," said Senator Johnson of
California. with much vigor. 'it
will be followed by others at other
rates until We find out just what the
railroads have got to have. It's a
sorry compliment to them to insist
that five per cent does not do ample
justice to them In this wartime"
Randsdeu Insistent.
The five per cent proposition was
defeated by a vote of 46 to 19. Those
who voted for it were: Democrats
Gore, Hardwick. Henderson. Hollis,
Kendrick, Kirby, Reed, Thomas,
Trammell, Vardaman- Republicans
Cummins, Curtis, Gronna, johnson, OF
California; Jones, Of Washington;
Kenyon. McNary, Norris, Sutherland

ed the insurgents, the final result
being 45 to q.
One section Of the bill allows the
President to buy and sell railroad
securities and turn the proceeds oveI
to the revolving fund. Objection was
made to this by Senator Kirby, OF
Arkansas, who said 1t was "dabbling

Sterling, Of South Dakota, to pass his
amendment leaving to the Interstats
Commerce Commission the rate-fxins
right 1t was beaten by a viva voce
vote.
The diversion created by Senator
Ransdell with his waterways speech
came almost at the close of the day.
He offered an amendment so as to be
sure that the revolving fund contem-
plated purchase Of waterway trans
portation facilities as we'll as railroad
rolling stock. The bill already states
this.
In connection with his amendment,
the Senator tried to have inserted in
the Congressional Record the speech
already alluded to. Senator Gallinger,
who tealously guards the Record, re-
fused Senator Ransdell said he would
read the speech into the Record. Linn
tied as he was to five-minute speeches,
he had to stop frequently and ofrer
another perfunctory amendment In or
der to continue.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO. May 1s.-conditions like
ly to facilitate planting had a bearish
influence today on corn. The market
closed unsettled. Y net lower to a
shade advance. with May l.27%a1.27N
and July, 1.4oK to 1.41. Oats gained
y to III. and provisions, Is to IS.
Dowpturns In the price of corn be-
gan soon after the opening. and, al
though several rallies took place, the
finish was at virtually the bottom
figures Of the day. Most Of the selling
pressure seemed to be due to the out
look for an extension of generally
fair weather. with temperatures above
the seasonable average. In connec.
tion with such auspicioas circum-
stances for field work. estimates were
current that planting had already
been completed in rs per cent Of the
available acreage. At first the result
ing pressure Of offerings was not
heavy. but support was poor and in
later trading some Of the principal
houses sold freely both on commission
and cash account.
Oats ascended because Of . sharp
bulge in values at Winnipeg: the
Canadian rise was attributed to
covering by shorts.
Firmness In the hog market gave
strength to provisions. Indications
were that hog arrivals here next week
would be q good deal less numerous
than during the cosrespondinG time

Lloyd George Tells Labor

Premier Tells how His and
Wilson's War Programs
Are the Same.

London. Jan. 1S.-Premier Lloyd
George addressing, the labor delegates
today, said no man standing on the
watch tower could deny the urgency
of the need for raising more men.
The prime minister said no democ-
racy has ever long survived the fail
ure of it's adherents to be ready to die
for it.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that he and
President Wilson without previous
consultation-there was no oppor-
tunity-had laid down substantially
the same program Of demands for the
termination of the war.
There was no man willing to make
peace without complete restoration of
Belgium and reparation: the premier
said. From Germany there had been
but one answer" he added, 'and it
came from Won Tirpitz's soul-never!
Continuing, the premier said:
Must Stand Together.
"Our channel ports are not far from
the fighting line and unless we are
prepared to stand up to the people
who are dominating Germany,
Britain. British democracy. French
democracy and the democracy of
most cruel military autocracy the
world has ever SEEM
Mr.. Lloyd George said that his and
President Wilson's war aims had been
acclaimed throughout the entente all
lied countries. There had been hard
ly a voice of criticism save from a few
who wished he had made more ex
treme demands. The socialists of
France, Italy and Great Britain. he
said, had accepted them as very fair
general demands.
The premier said that Germany had
answered Never" to his demand for
a reconsideration of the wrong of AL
SAGE Lorraine. and had declared that
Germany would go on until Mesopo
tamia and Palestine We're restored to
the tyranny of the Turks. No single
war aims condition made by the Brit
ish trade unionists had been answer
ed by any German auxiliary, he add
ed.
No German Answer.
Mr.. Lloyd George said there had
been no answer from Germany to the
recent statements of the entente pow
ers on war aims.
"Why?" asked the premier. BE
cause the Prussian military power is
dominant The answer to be given
will be given from the cannon's
mouth"
"1f any man here can find an hon
orable and equitable way out Of this
conflict without fighting it through"
the premier continued. "let him tell
it. My conviction is this-the people
must either go on or go under"

GRAND FORKS
MAN DIES IN
FRENCH CAMP
VIM. w. Whalen, First Lo-
cal Soldiers Reported
Dead by Gen. Pershing.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-General
Pershine today reported the death of
Private William w. Whalen. 610 De-
Mers avenue. Grand Forks, n. D.. of
pneumonia.
The first Grand Forks soldier to die
in France is William W. Whalen, a
son of Con Whalen on DeMers ave
nue..
Mr.. Whalen today received official
notification of his sons death in the
following telegraphic message from
Washington:
Deeply regret to inform YOU that
Private William W. Whalen, field hos
pital, is officially reported to have
died of pneumonia.
MCCAIN,
"Adiutant-general."
The message from the war depart
ment does not indicate that young
Whalen was in France, but the Asso-
mentions that the report came from
General Pershing which is sufficient
as an indication that the death took
place "over there"
Enlisted at ROIla.
William w. Whalen was born in
York, n. D.. q years ago. but had
spent the greater part of his life in
this city where he was popular and
we'll liked. Last summer while work
ing at York and Devils Lake he
thought it would not do for him to
wait to be drafted for military SER
wee. so he went to Rolla and enlisted
in the army.
Soon after Whalen was sent to
Camp Mills, L. L., and about four OF
five weeks ago his father received a
postal card from him advising him
not to write or send any letter until
further notice. That was his last mes.
sage home.
The immediate relatives of the first
Grand Forks boy to die under the
Stars and Stripes in France are his
father, Con Whalen. two brothers ri
York, one brother here, one at Man
dan, and q sister at Oklahoma City.
