Elimination to Austria Opens Sea
Lanes From Australia and
India Via Mediterranean.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-White bread
made wholly of wheat flour will be
availa bic soon for the people of the
United States. according to eXpecta-
tons expressed by Food Commissioner
Hoover The withdrawal of Austria.
from the war and the elimination of
U-boats in the Mediterranean has
permitted the re-opening of shipping
routes from England and France to
the wheat markets of India and Aus
tralia. Inme nse stocks of wheat for
export are stored in the ports of both
of the latter countries.
The shipment of grain into England
and France from other sources than
the United States, it was stated, will
increase the volume of wheat -four
available for consumption at home
and permit the diversion of the guam
titles here to the peoples of southern
and eastern Europe, who have been
cut off from outside assistance until
peace conferences were arranged.
Negotiations are now in progress
for utilizing the merchant vessels Of
Austria in the transportation of food
materials from other countries for
the people there. While programme
of the food administration here
in tho matter has not been made
known. it is believed the Austrians
will obtain much of the needed sup
ply of food from countries that pro
duced large crops last summer but
have been una BILE to export any part
of them because of the shortage of
vessels.
A general relaxation in the entire
food situation of the world is is
looked for by Mr.. Hoover as a re
suit of the re-opening of the shipping
channels, and one of the first results
will be reducing the quantity Of sub

The result of the election is really
