Further Conservation of Wheat.

A pledge given by proprietors of lead
ing hotels in all parts of the country
that they will not use wheat flour for
any purpose until wheat from the new
harvest becomes available was the
striking food development Of the week
The hotel men met here for conferences
and the pledge was given after Herbert
Hoover, the food administrator, had ex-
planned the vital need of sending to
Europe every bushel of wheat which
America can spare.
The food administration also an
nounced during the week that wherever
there is evidence that wheat or flour is
being boarded or withheld improperly
from market it will be seized by the
government This announcement was
prompted by reports of such boarding
and by the news from France that
wheat had become so scarce that 1t had
been found necessary to reduce the
bread rations of the French soldiers
now in the trenches withstanding: the
German drive. Another food admins
tratfon order abolished wheatless days
and wheatless meals as a strict formula
for private homes. but asked American
housewives to practice even greater
economy than in the past in the use of
wheat flour. The order simply means
that the housewife is to make whatever
use seems to her best of the maximum
allowance of pound and a half of -four
per person per week. Meatless days
also were abolished temporarily.

NELSON MORRIS WANTED
IN REFRIGERATION SECTION
Packer Chairman Under Considera-
t.on for Service in Quartermaster
Generals Office.

Nelson Morris. chairman of the direc-
torate of Morris & Co., packers, is under
consideration for service in the food
refrigeration section of the quarter
master generals office, it was stated at
the War Department yesterday.
Mr.. Morris status became of interest
here because his district appeal board
put him in class IA of the draft, ac-
cording Photographic dispatches, rul-
ing that his claim OF exemption had
been based on the allegation that he
was necessary to the conduct Of a
necessary enterprise. whereas he had
subsequently left to accept a position in
the government.
It was explained yesterday that his en-
p1oyment in a civilian capacity in
Washington would have no effect upon
his liability for the draft. He could
only be given a commission, it was
stated. under the present policy of the
War Department, If it were shown he
was needed for some special task for
which man not of draft age was not
available.

Secretary McAdoo announced that the

$4,000, 100000, and all oversubscriptions.

Considerable surprise was expressed
that the minimum for the loan was not
placed at higher figure. but It was ex-
planned that war expenditures by
America had not been SO heavy as had
been expected, and also that the loan
requirements of the allies were below
the anticipation.
Mr.. McAdoo also announced that when

Universal Training Demanded.

Gen. Woods testimony and other

front again the proposal Tor universal
military training. and it was discussed
in the Senate in connection with the
bill providing that men who have at

for the draft. The New amendment
providing for universal training, found
champions among former opponents OF
the scheme. Senator Thomas of Colo

there broke out in Congress a

there broke out in Congress a
" storm of bitter criticism OF the
administration for what was
declared to have been a wasted year.
in making preparations for war. The
lack of ships. airplanes and guns was
the theme most severely dwelt upon.
Senator Poindexter said things had
come to such pass as to be scandal
to the entire world" and Senator Lodge
declared he mo longer would stand by
in silence" and that 1t was a crime
to keep from the American people facts
well known to our enemies"
These two republican senators, though
using stronger language, perhaps. than
their colleagues, by no means stood
alone as critics. Senator Thomas of
Colorado and Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska, both democrats. took part in
the hostile debate, the former attack
ing the fuel administration and the
latter the aircraft program. Senator
Hitchcock, who is member of the
military affairs committee, insisted that
construction Of afrplanes is at least 80
per cent behind schedule. The number
of planes to be ready by July 1, he said.
is about one-tenth the number origin
ally planned.
Senator Lodge asserted that though
the government had spent S340. 900, 600
for airplanes in the last year 1t had not
vet succeeded in getting a single bat
tie plane to France. Lieut.. Col. Jones
of the Signal Corps testified that one
plane had been shipped to France, while
other Army officers claimed that large
number already were in France or on
their wey. 1t was asserted. and denied
that the liberty motor. upon which such
great hopes had been based. was a
failure.
In fact, developments of the week
left the question as to progress with
the airplane program almost as mud
died and confusing as has been the rate
Of progress made in shipbuilding.
