AMSTERDAM, Holland, April g.
There was serious trouble in this city
on the occasion Of Queen Wilhelmina's s
visit to the capital Thursday. Discon-
tent has been growing among the la
boring people, owing to the reduction
of the bread ration to 200 grams (about
seven ounces) a day, instead of the
former go grams (s.7 ounces), and
also because of the news that the meat
ration would be only 200 grams a week.
This made the people frantic.

While the queen motored about the
town there was considerable Kissing.

CRY. Give us bread! You are not suf-
fering, are you?" There were other
shouts. of a similar tenor. Several
bakeries were plundered.
People agree that the situation is
serious, but there is no agreement
either as to the cause of the food
shortage or the proper remedy for it.
Resent Rejection of Wheat.
The news that Americas offer of
100. 600 tons of wheat has not yet been
accepted provoked many people who
are unwilling to admit that the gov
ernment has the right to consider Its
prejudices and prestige where feed1ns
the people is concerned.
Meanwhile Holland Is actually rum

stitutes for breadmaking can be made
to reach to June or July, and the Ques-
tion is What will happen then2" The

country and the authorities seem to

FARM EXPERTS WOULD RETAIN
PRESENT PRICE FOR WHEAT
Ask Government to Investigate Supply of
Implements, Exempt Farm Labor From
Army and Give Other Assistance.

The agricultural advisory committee,
composed of twenty-four agricultural
and live stock producers, yesterday sub
mitted to Secretary Houston and Food
Administrator Hoover recommendations
for increased food output to assist the
nation and its associates in the prosecu-
tion of the war. The committee has been
in consultation with the Agriculture De-
partment and the food administration a
week.
The recommendations declare for a con-
tinuance Of the present price of $2.20 for
wheat, but ask in return government in
vestigation regarding the manufacture
and distribution of farm implements and
machinery; exemption of farm labor
from military service: standard sys-
tenn of market gradings for live stock
and meats and the basing of price quo
tations on such standards. and better
facilities for the delivery
of farm products.
Recommend Requisition.
In recommending that there be no
change in the price of wheat. the COM
mittee said that a price change at this
time would not affect the production of
winter wheat at all, and would not af-
feet the production Of spring wheat this
year by more than 10 per cent. 1t also
said that it appeared that some farm
ers have been holding the 1917 wheat
from market in anticipation of a larger
price, and recommended that, II neces-
sary, the food administration "requi-
sition the remainder of the 1917 crop,
by whomsoever held, including farm
ers, so that the allied demands and do
