HOOVER SPEAKS
AT CONFERENCE
GRAIN DEALERS

New York April 30.-If the gov
eminent had allowed the commerce
in wheat to take it's untrammelled
course, flour would be selling at the
mill door today for $50 to $50 bar
rel instead of $40 to $1,000 and prob
ably "rioting would have been ex-
lperienced in all our centers of con-
gested population of violence that
leads to blood in our CUTTERS" de-
clared Herbert Hoover, federal food
administrator in an address today.
| Mr.. Hoover spoke at Il conference
| Of 100 representative America grain
| dealers and officials of the food ad-
ministration's grain division. called
to discuss grain exports and rcgu-
lations OF cereal consumption in this
country.
Asserting that when -four went to

Hoover said he did not accuse the
grain trade of having been response
bic for the situation but rather blam
cd the fact that the Allies had to
have wheat and were prepared to
pay any price for it.
"a series of speculations sprang. up
that were deplorable beyond words"
he said, but only a microscopic por-
ton of this speculation was of de-
liberate or vicious nature" Stating
that their government could have

From Saturday until well into
Monday night General Won Arnim's
forces continued their efforts to break
the British lines on the Ypres
salient and to press back the British
and French from the high ground to
the southwest but everywhere their
efforts were fruitless. True, they
gained their objective and again cap
tured Locre, bu. counter thrust
forced them out again and at last ac-
counts the French were holding the
village.
In the hilly region just to the north
of Locre the British also pushed
back the enemy at many points not
ably between KENNEL and La Clytte.
Much of the snap of the German
attacking forces has been absent
from the manoeuvres they have been
carrying out in Flanders under the
stiffened line OF the Entente troops,
which has been apparent since last
Sunday.
To the south near Amiens and to the
wise has failed in all his attempts to
push further forward. The British
cast Of Villers- BretonneuX, which
lies directly east Of Amiens. have ad-
vanced their front and in the NoEoh
sector the French have re-cstab hShed
their lines which the Germans pre-
yiously had captured from them.
The Germans on various sectors Of the
line are still hurting tons of steel
against the British and French posi-
tons. but the allied guns are every
where answering them III kind.
While the present halt in the battle
possibly may indicate the near approach

FUTILE sMAsHEs

With the British army in France.
April 30-(By The Associated Press
Further desperate smashes by Won
Arnims army against the allied lines
or the Flanders battlefield yesterday
afternoon and evening met with no
more success than the enemy's futile
and costly attempts earlier in the
day to break through and capture the
hill positions west of KENNEL.
Not only did the British and French
maintain their positions at virtually
all parts in the face of furious on
slaughts, but during the night they
reclaimed several bits of territory
which the enemy had succeeded IN
getting a hold OH. Locre had again
fallen into German hands late yestGr-

in an attempt to push through here. IN
