needs as Food Admr. Hoover may
demonstrate them avs promised to-
day by Director Gen. McAdoo who
reiterated his statement of yester-
day that practically all food offered
for movement by farmers and food
dealers is being transported.
Railroad administration officials
pointed 10 the report that virtually
no ships in New York harbor were
held up by lack of food cargoes as
proof that the movement of food
stuhs is satisfactory. Some ships
are detained at south Atlantic ana
gulf ports, they said, because grain
merchants of the west are not load
ing cars as rapidly as had been ex-
pected.
Reports to the food administra-
ton continued TO tell of shortage Of
cars. however, particularly for the
transportation of grain products
eastward from western primary
markets. The railroad administra-
ton offered the explanation that if
this condition exists. it must bee
caused by the failure of shippers or
the food administration to make
specific requests for cars
Food Shortage Danger Les.
The danger of serious food
shortage I'M the east to which Mr.
Hoover referred two days ago i'm
his statement which precipitated ex-
tensive public discussion of the re-
latons between high prices of food

ton was emphasized less today by
the food administration
Replying 10 a letter from Mr. Nc
Adoo promising 10 provide for every
food shipment TO which his atten-
ton was called 10y the food admin
istratiOn, Mr. Hoover said
81 am certain that this assurance
from YOU viii greatly quiet the
growing apprehension i'm the coun-
try OF the last few weeks"
Mr.. McAdoo replied 10 this letter
by saying that Mr.. Hoover had fail
ed 10 point TO specific cases of the
failure Of railroads ID move food
shipments and repeated his request
Of yesterday.
Both officials explained that their
relations were entirely friendly and
that their efforts 20 clarity the food
and transportation situation did not
represent a controversy either in
fact or in spirit.
Mr.. McAdoo said ne was only try
ing 20 help Mr.. Hoover and To do
the best possible for the country
and that his only antagonism was
for the kaiser.
Mr.. Hoover, after giving out
copy OF his letter 10 the director
general, offered this comment:
Il have nothing more 10 say. Ny
face is toward the future and not
toward the past"

PctrOgrad Citizens Calm.
The inhabitants of Petrcgrad
await coming events with an Out
ward calm, according to the latest
dispatches received here, and con-
tinue 10 pursue their ordinary bus
mess life seemingly uncOncerned
over the great interests at stake.
The Daily Nails Petrograd cor
respondent, in a dispatch sent last
Thursday, repeats a statement that
the majority would welcome the
arrival Of the Germans, fearing an
outbreak of uncontrolled anarchism
with riot and murder. The bulk
Of the population. the correspondent
says, is tired Of revolution, tired Of
hunger and disorder and tired OF
the uncertainty perpetually over
hanging them, declaring that they
are experiencing all of the disad .
vantages of the cars regime with
out any of its advantages.
The London morning papers for
the most part are without news from
their Petrograd correspondents and
the only reformation Of current date
received here consists Of official
announcements. The Petrograd
correspondent of Reuters, limited,
sends an official statement that the
council Of the peoples commits
saries has appointed a special gen.
eral staff and has issued a decree
reiterating it's warning that martial
law must be used mercilessly TO re-
press criminal attacks" and eXtir-
pate the counter Revolutionary.
Measures, il is officially declared.
have been taken for the registra-
ton and distribution of foOdstufs
and the mobilization of the entire
population for defense work. The
special staff will appropriate all
property required for defensive pur-
poses.
Extraordinary Session.
An extra ordinary session Of the
central executive committee Of sol 4.
diers' and workmen's delegates was
held on Friday evening. NJ. Sverd
loft presided and read a statement
reviewing the situation in which he
said that il was now clear that the
Germans would not reply 10 the
Smolny Institutes last appeal, or
if they did. their answer would be
completely unacceptable. He asked
the committee TO adopt a resolution
expressing confidence IN the peo-
pies commissaries and approving
their measures aiming at peace. The
resolution passed with only six dis
senting votes.
In the last two days the Germans
have not met with a single case Of
resistance, a Petrograd dispatch to
the Exchange Telegraph company
says
Evacuation Of the port OF Reval
is proceeding slowly, the soldiers de-
clining TO assist.
The headquarters of the Russian
western army has been moved 20
Smolensk, $50 miles southwest If
Moscow. The change was made in
such haste that the staff lost touch
with the various armies.
