BREAD OF PURE
 WHEAT FOR US.
Hoover Expects Relief With Opening of Routes to In
 dia and Australia

Washington, Nov. White bread made wholly of wheat flour will be available soon for the people of the United States, according to eXpecta- tions expressed by Food Commission CT Hoover yesterday. The withdraw al of Austria. from the war and the elimination of U-boats in the Mediter- ranean has permitted the reopening of shipping routes from England and France to the wheat markets of India and Australia. Immense stocks of wheat for export are stored in the ports of both of the latter countries.
 The shipment of grain into Eng land and France from other sources than the United States, it was stated, will increase the volume of wheat flour available for consumption at home and permit the diversion of the quantities here to the peoples of southern and eastern Europe, who have been cut oft from outside assist arce until peace conferences were az ranged.
 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 the program of ] the Food Administration here in the matter has not been made known, it 1 is believed the Austrians will obtain much of the needed supply of food from countries that produced large crops last summer but have been un- able to export any part of them be- cause of the shortage of vessels.
 A general relaxation in the entire food situation of the world is looked for by MT Hoover as a result of thd reopening of the shipping channelS
