Railroads Inclined to Resent Hoover's Blame and Ready to Provide Transportation; Cereal Exports Short.
CBy Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2l.-The east ern part of the United States faces a food shortage likely to continue for the next sixty days.
 In making this disclosure tonight Food Administrator Hoover declared that the situation is the most critical in the eountry's history and that in many-Of the large consuming areas reserve food storssS are at the point of exhaustion.
 6lames Rail Congestion
 The whole blame is put by the food administrator on railroad congestion. which he says also has thrown the food administration far behind in it's program for feeding the allies. The only solution he. sees is a greatly in- creased rail movement of foOdStuffs even to the exclusion of much other commerce.
 It was evident tonight that the rail road administration is inclined to re- sent Mir. Hoover's blame of the rail roads and Director General McAdOO declared he was ready to provide ev- cry transportation facility for cxpedit- ing food. The railroad administration he said. had suggested that farmers be urged to release their grain holdings that large numbers of available cars might oe utilized in moving them.
 Cereal exports to the allies. MT. Hoover's statement says. will be 45.- 000.000 bushels short on March 1 and meat shipments also are far short of the amounts promised.
 Inability to move the crops. MT. Hoover sets forth, has suspended the law of supply and demand and has ere ated price margin between producer and consumer wider than it ever was before.
 A large part of the corn crop is about to spoil because it is not moving to terminals for drying. The percen- tage of soft corn in last years crop. all of which must be dried if f is to be saved, is the largest ever known. Estimates place the amount as high as a billion bushels.
 Dairies Hard Hit
 The cost of grains for feeding live stock has increased to such an extent by reason of transportation difficult ties. Mir Hoover says. that feeders are confronted with the prospect of seri- Ous losses. Dairying interests. too. he declares. are hard hit
 Potatoes. the food administrator de- clares. are spelling in the producers hands while consumers have been sup piled ehly from summer garden crops and stores carried over.
 Mr. Hoover's statement follows:
 Tn response to many inquiries l beg to say it is true that since the first of December we have fallen far behind our agreed food program with the allies. By the end of February we will be short 45.Oo0.000 bushels in ce- real products which we undertook as our share of their supplies. We will also be short of the amount of meat and other products that we were to de- liver This deficiency is due solely to the railway congestion since that date The railway directorate since coming into control on January l. has made effort to find remedy but dur ing the month of January the weather was insuperahle and although prog reSs has been made since the fifth of

ARMY OFFICERS. ARE SURPRISED. AT DISPATCHES. OFHUNCONTROL.
Press Adyices From France of German Air Supremacy Received With Incredible Air by War Department.
By Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Fen. sl.-Army of ficials showed every evidence of sur prise today at press dispatches from France telling Of German control O. the air over the sector of the front held by the American forces. They would make no comment for publica- tion however. and Secretary Baker also was silent beyond saying that his advices from General Pershing made no mention of such a situation.
 Disclosure Of the conditions de- scribed by the dispatches comes on the heels of Secretary Bakers an nOuncement yesterday that American built battle planes had bee nshipped to France five months ahead of the original schedule and soon would be ready in quantities. This statement does net mean that the whole pro gram for the American air fleets is so far ahead. and it is understood that actually it is not far from the sche- dule enc way or the other The CT act sirius Of the program is a care fully kuarded secret.
 Pershing Sole Judge.
 Secretary Baker said today in re- sponse to questions abcut the cable dispatches that any publicity of that nature must come from General Pershing. who alone is able to judge of the military value Of the informa- tion.
 There are certain considerations, it was pointed out by some officers none of whom claimed actual kovledRe of the situation at the American front which to their minds made, it the more surprising that a complete lack of adequate air patrols should exist there. In the first place General Pershing was fully advised as to an matters regarding the American air service and the degree to which h. could rely upon it when he decided to put the forces into the line
 Also-and great stress was laid on this-he has been working in com plete cooperation with the French government in getting his men to the front. % far as known, the particular section of the line. held by the Amer jeans was fully patrolled by allied airInen. presumably French, before it was taken over If General Persh- ing regards the situation in the air as in any way a menace to his troops. it was suggested, il seemed certain he would call upon the French fo- patrols
 Conditions Natural.
 It is possible, of course. that local concentration of air forces has been made by the Germans against the American sector. Such a condi- tion might arise at any time Cn any section of the long battle line, Mr. Baker said. The dispatches from the front. however. appear to indicate a continuing situation in which no air planes for ordinary patrol work are available, rather than sudden in crease in the enemy's air fleet in that region
 Mir. Baker would not indicate whether he intended 10 call The ms' ter to General Pershing's attention If he did SO. it would be departure from his usual custom The war de- partment assumes that the commander of the expediticnary forces will advise it promptly if anything arises of serious nature in which its aid Is needed
