Saving of Wheat
Still Necessary

New York, Dec. 1S.-The necessity
OF continued conservation of wheat
was emphasized today in statement
by the federal food board which de-
clared that despite restrictions i'm
posed last spring there was less than
ten days supply OF the product in
America when the 1918 crop was har-
vested.
Cessation OF submarine activities
and the signing Of the armistice. the
board stated, released large quanti-
ties OF wheat with assurance OF a
good crop in 1919, relieved somewhat
the necessity of building UP a large
American reserve, yet continued elm
ination Of waste was urged to assist
the food administration in keeping
its pledge to ship large quantities
of breadstuff to hungry Europe.
The board asserted the American
public by restricting the use OF wheat
early in 1918 to barest necessities, en-
abled the government, with a sur
plus Of only 100000 bushels, to
distribute 141, 100000 bushels among
che allied nations,

Annapolis, Dec. 18.-At least a
year, possibly two years, will be re-
quired. before the nation can return
to normal peace conditions and 1--WE
will be fortunate If conditions abroad
make demobilization possible at so
early a date" said Secretary DAN
iels here today, addressing the con-
ference of state governors.
The navy, said the secretary, must
be increased and strengthened to en-
able the United States to contribute
as many units as any other nation
to an international police force, but
he added:
IT look to see the peace conference
put an end to competitive big navy
building
Secretary Lane also addressed the
conference urging governors to pre-
vent state branches of the council
of national defense from disintegrat-
ing. He emphasized that these To-
cal councils should remain in exist
ence to cooperate with federal
agencies although not acting as fed
eral institutions.
The cabinet members addresses
followed a discussion by the govern
ors of future policies for the state
national buard organizations. Wide
differences of opinion prevailed,
some governors advocating return to
the old national guard system, some
advocating universal military train
ing by the federal government and
others urging that the time lis not
ripe for determining future internal
military policies.
Warning against over optimistic
hopes for the early return Of all
American soldiers from abroad,
Secretary Daniels said:
TT required a year and a half with
ability to contract for British ships
to help carry two million soldiers
to France. Even If there was no
ned for soldiers overseas-and that
need for soldiers overseas and that
organization that could land them
home in a year. Naval ships have
been turned into transports to help
in this big job and men in the naval
service are being rapidly brought
home. But some ships and some men

(By Associated Press,

Washington, Dec. Is.-DecIaring
that the widest diversity of opinion
exists regarding formation OF
league Of nations and on the defini-
tion of freedom OF the seas Senator
Knox, OF Pennsylvania, in an ad-
dress to the senate today urged
postponement of these questions un-

Before Senator Knox spoke, tho

cussed and decided TO delay action
until Saturday ON his resolution
which would record the senate in
favor of such postponement also cab
for the withdrawal of American mill
tary and naval forces from Europe
and abrogation of the Presidents

Chairman Hitchcock said later
that division Of opinion in the com
mittee on the resolution was not
confined to party lines. He would noG
predict what action finally might bo
taken. ....s-
The function of the peace confar-
ence, Senator Knox declared, is TO
settle issues with the enemy. Re-
vision OF the marine laws and n
league OF nations, he said, Are is-
sues between the allies themselves
and neutrals," and should not b0

Instead OF a league of nations.
Senator Knox suggested a definite
entente, provided it be small ana
natural one, bringing only limited
and appropriate obligations" The
league of nations ne said, should
await exhaustive consideration.
Even without an entente" the
senator said, except for the nYl-
finished business OF enforcing and
insuring our war aims. the United
States can. without 'entanglemcnt'
whatever, place in advance at the
service Of the worlds peace, If SER

This can be done by new declara-
ton Of some correspondence to the

a menace to America, and that

prepare for action If ever such mem

HOG CHOLERA IN
STUTSMANTAKING
HEAVY TOLL, SAY
DISEASE CONFINED
County Agents Fight Epi-
denic- Hope to Isolate
The Outbreak

Heavy, losses to hog herds in
Stutsman county are being sustained
in cholera epidemic that already
has spread to many farmers, and
which is being vigorously combatted.
according to reports received at the
Agricultural college extension de-
partment
John G. Pollock, in charge Of the
county farm agents in the state, said
reports SO far received indicated
that the cholera epidemic has been
confined to Stutsman county, and
that at this season OF the year, it is
much easier to combat the disease
than had the epidemic occurred
earlier.
Reports received from the Stuts-
man county farm agent show. that
one farmer, John Henderson, resid-
ing near Jamestown, has lost $50
hogs, having but six hogs left out
of his herd. Other farmers in the
Fried, Clementsville and SpiritWood
districts also are suffering losses.
"The plan employed in fighting the
disease is to notify all farmers in the
neighborhoods where the disease is
found said Mr.. Pollock to The
Forum today. They are given in
struction in principles to be erIl-
ployed in preventing the introduce
tion of the disease to their farms.
and are given advice more particu-
larly as to their dogs, being urged
to tie the dogs up and prevent them
from visiting farmers where cholera
is epidemic. The dogs carry the
germ, though the disease does not
affect them, and they are the most
active agency in the spread OF the
disease

port the arrival Of Petlura forces be-
fore Nilolaiev, northeast OF Odessa,

The banks there put their money
on board British destroyers in the

lis in the hands Of Gen. Grigorieff Of
the PetIura forces.
The situation was reported to be
approximately the same at Odessa,
