 Investigating the sugar and coal
 ages after Chairman Reed and
 Hoover had enlivened the procee
 with a clash that had been exp
 since the inquiry started.
 Yesterday when Hoover took the stand Senator Reed, a critic of the food administrator since the beginning
 of his work. yielded the task of ques-
 tioning. to Senator Lodge, and the ex-
 animation progressed very smoothly.
 Today however, the chairman went
 into cross examination himself most vigorously. He attacked the policies of the food administration, said Hoover
 had usurped powers in handling the
 wheat situation and sought to develop that sugar price agreements were made to benefit eastern refiners. Mr Hoover's replies were as sharp as the question. The wheat situation. he said, was handled with the approval of President Wilson, and the farmers now were getting more for their wheat, while. flour was selling for less He I warmly denied all Of the chairman's 1 charges and said the food administra- tion would save the people on sugar l alone between three and five million | dollars in the year beginning oct. l. | Senator Jones of New Mexico, ques- tioning the witness about support

The virtual collapse of the negotta- tions between the Central Powers and the Russian Bolsheviki for peace and the possibility that hostilities again may be resumed by the Russians on the eastern front, even though with only comparatively small army. have caused surprise and perturbation in Berlin and Vienna.
 Realizing the seriousness of the sit uation, the German and Austrian em- perors have conferred at length with their chiefs of state and the German and Austro- Hungarian foreign minis
 ters who attended the peace negotia-
 tions at Brest-Litovsk have been sent
 back there post haste, probably for the purpose of attempting to moder- ate the situation.
 Not alone is TrotZky,. the Boishevik foreign minister, and the other leaders Of the counter-revolution in Russia utterly dissatisfied with the terms cf the peace proposals of tte Central Powers, but the heads of the German socialist factions also have volubly | expressed their antagonism to those
 sections of them which call for the | retention of Poland, Lithuania, Cour-
 land and other territory new in pos
 session of the invad ders.

 First Draft Cost $5,211,965.
 The total cost of the first draft, ex- elusive of the cost of the provost mar shal generals office here, was S5,211,- 965 This amount has been refunded to the states by the federal govern ment. It represents an average cost of S4.93 per man accepted for military service and with the provost marshal generals expenses included, $5 per man, against a cost of $24.4S per vol untary recruit in 1914: $19.14 in 1915 and $28.95 in the first nine months of 1917. Prior to the draft act, during the Civil war. the cost per man was about $34 and after the draft was en- forced, about $9.S4.
 In discussing the future of the draft General Crowder takes occasion to say that the first duty is to provide an adequate army. Economic considera- tions must be regarded in selecting the men, he says. but not at the expense of an efficient fighting force. Viewed beside the efforts Germany and Aus tria have put forth to place man power in the field, he adds, Git little becomes us to emphasize above a whisper as a substantial national problem anything we have yet been called upon to do."

The shipbuildins programme generally, he said, is pro. ceeding about as well as might have been expected. Delays in wooden con. struction he. blamed on shortage o1 the proper timber sizes.
 Mir Ferris told of changes made fl the designs for wooden ships, which i is charged have caused delay, and de clared they were made with his ap proval but not at his suggestion. H. did not think they were necessary, ht Said, but he approved them because 0 the demand from many quarters.
