reign of terror is reported raging un-

from Stockholm. It is estimated that
10000 arrests have been made since

Roadstead Of Kronstadt, prepared to
full uprising against them.
Railway service between Moscow
and Petrograd has been interrupted.

WILL MAKE CHANGES
IN FOOD PROGRAM
Dean F. B. Mumford Called
by Hoover to Washington
To a Conference.
TO BE HELD TUESDAY
Possibility of Early End of
War Makes New Pol
.iCieS Necessary.

F. B. Mumford, federal food admin
istrator for Missouri, received a tele-
gram from Herbert Hoover yester-
day calling him to a conference of all
federal food administrators in Wash
ingtOn next Tuesdky. In view of
the present war situation, this con-
ference will be one of unusual i'm
pOrtance, the telegram said.
The swift developments in Europe
have so altered the plans of the Food
Administration that some radical
changes probably will be made in the
food conservation program at this
conference" said Mr.. Mumford this
morning. when plans for the COM
ing year were made. the Food Ad-
ministration went on the assumption
that the war would last at least
another year. The unexpected COL
lapse of the Central Powers this ear
ly has necessitated some changes be-
ing made.
'Mr. Hoover already has intimated
the percentage of substitutes in wheat
bread probably would be reduced, on
account of the opening of the Med
iterranean. This will make the wheat
of India and Australia more accessi-
BILE.
This does not mean, however, that
the entire food conservation program
will be relaxed. Contrary to this
seeming widespread impression, strict
economy in all the staple foods must
be continued, even if Germany should
quit the war. America has promised
to export almost IS million tons of
food this year, so per cent more than
was exported last year, and this
promise must be fulfilled, whether the
war continues or ends. To let down
at this time in food conservation
undoubtedly would result in disaster
to the Allied nations. No new crops
can be grown over night"
Not only must this promise to the
Allies be fulfilled, Mr.. MumfOrd
pointed out, but some 120 million neu-
trails. victims of Germany and the
war, must be fed. And the smaller
nations. which are now valiantly
breaking away from the decaying
Austrian Empire and setting up their
own governments must be kept in
food. They cannot be liberated polit-
ically and allowed to starve.
The efforts Of the American peo-
pie last year in saving food. espec-
tally wheat, prevented a collapse in
the morale of the Allies" Mr.. Num-
ford continued. at was lack of food
which helped to cause Russia's dis
Indignation: 1t was lack Of food to a
large extent which has caused the
breakdown in the Central Powers;
it was lack of food year ago which

Committee Receives 16 Christmas Car
tons for Boys In France.

Only sixteen Christmas cartons
have been mailed out to the soldiers in
France since November 2, according
to the Christmas parcels committee
in charge of the work in the postoffice
lobby. All parcels must be sent by
November 90.
The cartons which are securely
packed, are wrapped in heavy paper.
a Christmas seal is placed around the
carton and the printed label sent
home by the soldier is pasted on top.
No boy overseas can receive a parcel
unless he sends back label.
There are three classes Of parcels

almost put Italy out of the war when
Austria made her last great drive.
And it was sufficient food supplied
by this country last winter which
kept the Allies intact and put them in
a position to take the offensive away
from Germany and drive straight
through the strongest German de-
tense positions.
These splendid efforts of the Am
erican people must not be nullified
by a let-down now in food economy.
The period of reconstruction after the
war will be a critical one from a
food viewpoint. Food must be sup
piled to a starving world; and Amer
lea will be the hope of these starv-
ing nations.
Our new program will be dis
cussed at this important conference
in Washington next Tuesday. Many
alterations undoubtedly will have to
be made to meet the swift changes
in the war situation"
