HOOVER RESIGNATION DENIED
Erroneous Report Laid to Designa.
ton Of Mr.. Rickard.

A published report that Herbert
Hoover had resigned as food admin
istrator is denied in a formal state
ment issued from the office of the
United States Food Administration
The report apparently grew out of
the fact that President Wilson, by a
recent executive order, designa ted
Edgar Richard to act as food admin
istrator during Mr.. Hoover's absence
in Europe.
Mr.. Richard has been closely asso-
ciated with Mr.. Hoover not only in
the work of the food administration,
but was with him from the very be-
ginning of the Belgian relief work.
The President designated him to dis
charge the duties of food administra-
tor Gin the name of Herbert Hoover
solely because of this close associa-
ton.

GERMANS BlILITTLE U. s. ARMY.
Making 100000 Officers by Sewing
Epaulettes OH Uniforms"


London, Jan. 3O.-"The Truth
About the American Army is the
title Of long article written by Col.
Gaedke in the German Socialist
newspaper, Bremen Zeitung.
"The entente now has pinned its
faith entirely to American help" says
Col. Gaedke.
1T, therefore, Is important that the
Germans know just how serious is
this American menace.
"The Americans are coming TO Eu-
rope to meet the most perfect instru
ment of war that any age ever has
seen. Can they do it?
Secretary of War Baker recently
told us that million and half men
were under training. With all hon
esty we call his attention to the fact
that the men who still are being
trained cannot terrify us. It took
the English two years to put a mil
lion men in battlefield which was
quite near them. The Americans.
with the handicap Of distance, cannot
do better
How are the Americans off for Of
hcers? Where are they to get $500
generals and staff officers? Mr.. Ba-
ker said he had 5000 officers of all
kinds In April, but now has 10000.
That is truly an American mas
terpiece o. accomplishments sew
epaulettes n 100000 men and call
them Office. Does Mr.. Baker i'm
agine that these gentlemen in six,
nine or twelve months can become
fit to perform the difficult tasks of Of
ficers In modern war?
What about commissioned
officers, who are so important for
training and holding together an
army? Nothing is complete. Every
thing must be improvised. 1t is an
insoluble problem.
"Of the total strength the Ameri-
cans are able to muster, it has been
shown that only half million can
get to Europe. But when? The
entente leaders have got to expect
them before autumn-neutral OBJ.
servers six months later.
Moreover, these men will arrive.
still unframed. While. perhaps. they
may be useful for defensive, they
may be considered negligible for any
offensive operations.
"The greatest possible American
military effort will be too weak and
insignificant to make good the loss of
the Russians and the weakening OF
the Italians"

NEW FOOD REGULATIONS.
Proclamation Put Saving
Of Food Up to the People.
(Anderson IMail.l

The proclamation Of President Will
son and the orders Of Food Admins
traitor Hoover put the saving of food
squarely up to the people. The ap-
peals heretofore have been for yolun-
tary support; now there is begin
ming of compulsion. Consumers, in
purchasing -four, are called upon to
purchase at the same time an equal
weight OF substitutes-other cereals
which may be used separately or
mixed, as the housewife sees fit, and
the retailers are to sell wheat flour
only with an equal weight OF other
cereals. And right here, especially in
the country districts, or with many
farmers who are plentifully supplied
with corn and other cereals, and in
many instances grind their own corn
meal, there Is considerable specula-
ton.
N'I have plenty Of the substitute" I"
said good farmer in this office, "but
less than 30-day supply Of flour
am not kicking at all, but If this sub
stitute' that I will have to buy when
buy flour again is to be strictly
cereals, am going to be overstocked
on cereals; that Is all there Is to it.
However, If 1t comes to a showdown,
good old homemade substitutes are
hard to beat if the housewife knows
how to handle them"
AS we see it., 1t is going to be ex-
ceedingly difficult for consumers to
evade the intent Of the food saving
campaign unless they reduce their
consumption Of wheat -four. Whole
salers are under government license,
and they are required to reduce their
purchases Of flour from the millers to
the extent of 80 per cent. And to the
retail trade their sales of -four must
be combined with other cereals, and
retailers must also observe the re-
striction.
The Presidents proclamatio calls
upon the great body Of women to see
to it that the suggestions are faith
fully observed, and there is no doubt
that this appeal will meet with a pa
Iriotic response. "For," as remark
ed by our friend above referred to,
ut looks as If the family that re-
fuses to comply is either brutishly
gluttonous or downright disloyal"
