CBv Review Leased w1rsa

WASHINGTON. Nov. 11-lmmedi- ate dropping of food prices as a re- suit of the conclusion of an armistice cannot be expected. Food Administra- tor Hoover declared tonight in a state ment. which addsd that wnIe the prices of some fOOdstuffs will de- crease. others will increase.
 With the war effectually over, said Mr. Hoover. we enter a new economic era and its immediate effect oh prices is difficult to anticipate. The prices of some food commodities may increase, but others will decrease because with liberated shipping ac- cumulated stocks in the southern hem isphere and the far east will be avail able. The demands upon the United States will change in character. but not in volume"
 All activities of the. food admins tration will be continued through the armistice period. said MT. Hoover, adding that there will be no relaxa tion of efforts to keep down profiteer- ing to the last moment"
 "The maintenance of the embargo, '' be continued. will prevent depletion of our stocks by hungry Europe below our necessities and any one who con templates speculation in food against the needs of these people can well be warned of the prompt action of the government"

WASHINGTON. Nov. l1. - Russia, still looked upon as an unfortunate friend Of her victorious former allies in spite of the Bolsheviki. has upon her soil all that remains of the world war
 Allied and Americans troops, in conjunction with the CZecho-Slovak army and the forces of the all-Rus- sian provisional government at Omsk are operating in Siberia and northern Russia against the German con trolled Bolsheviki, who have been de- nounced before the world by the American government as virtual out laws. Allied troops first went into Russia to prevent the stores of muni tions at VladivostOk' and Murmansk from falling into the hands of the Germans, but later an agreement was reached between entente and Ameri can governments to render military and other assistance to the CZechO Slovak forces in Siberia. At about the same time a joint expedition went into northern Russia to prevent the Germans getting control there.
 Only recently the all-Russian pro visional government asked the allies and America, through President Will son, for further and immediate assist ance in overcoming the Bolsheviki and rehabilitating the/ Russian nation. So far as has been announced no action has been taken on the appeal.
 Both here and in the allied capi- tals it is hoped that the removal O German influence and spirit will cause a speedy collapse of the Bol sheviki regime and thus hasten the time when a stable government with which the associated nations may deal will come into power.
