Mr.. Hoover Appeals for Wheat.

The following telegram was received
today by Mr.. Saokett from Mr.. Hoover:
'ln order that we may comply with
the urgent demands OF the Allies for
wheat and, at the same time, take care
Of our own domestic supplies. we ur-
gently need this year an earlier and
more complete marketing of the wheat
In farmers hands than usual. The
Allies are taking from us 50% of other
cereals than wheat to mix in their
bread. Inasmuch as the people In
allied countries, and the soldiers, must
be fed with bread baked in bakeries,
it is impossible for them to prepare
bread made wholly out of other cereals
and we must furnish them with suf-
ficient wheat to maintain their bakery
loaf. l, therefore, appeal to all the
farmers in the State of Kentucky that
they shall bring all their wheat; except
their necessary reserve for seed, to
market before May LIST. This Is a

Major Board said he then decided
that he would grant their plea and per-

a mistake got the division adjutant's
office. There he asked Capt. Alfred
Allen IL it was permissible to send a

provision for this.

recommendation, which was sent to
the commanding general.

he was not willing to allow Division

public will not know what the result Of
the trial is for six or eight weeks at
the least.
Argument were made by Capt. Clar-
ence Martin for the government and
Capt. William Reilly for the defense.
Effect OF the Charges.
The subject Of the effect OF the
charges against Major Board on the
morale among the doctors at the Base
Hospital..was touched upon yesterday
BY LIEUT.. Col. Will s, Pyles. command
Ing officer of the hospital. He was in
terrupted in his statement BY the
president of the court, who ruled the
Testimony he was about to give was
irrelevant and did not bear on the
charge against the accused.
"What effect have these charges
and talk against MAJOR Board had on
the morale Of the Base Hospital?"
asked Capt. Reilly.
"Since this matter has been under
Investigation the entire personnel of
the Base Hospital has been subdued.
and is awaiting the decision Of the
court with apprehension. The medical
officers have been working under
tension
Here the court stopped his state
ment and ordered it stricken from the
record.
While nothing was said about it
during the trial, medical officers said
that several hundred men are being
held at the Base Hospital who seem
ready to return to duty, but who are
held because of the uncertainty the
physicians feel ia discharging a man
from the hospital. The medical offic
ers say they do not like to assume the
responsibility since the charges against
Major Board were made.
"Woud you like to have Major
Board continue in the capacity OF com.
manding officer of the nervous and
mental ward at the Base Hospital?"
asked the defense Of Col. Pyles
81 would" answered the witness.
Capt. Alfred Allen, assistant camp
adjutant and veteran of the service,
brought out strong evidence for Majo
Board in his testimony. He testified
that Major Board called him on the
telephone and asked that an attendant
be sent with Otha Murray. Capt. Al
len said that he replied that nothing
in the regulations provided for sending
an attendant. He said he had been in
the service twenty-four years and
knew of no such regulations.
Many character witnesses were in
troduced by the defense. Judge Matt
lO'Doherty, DR.. Curran Pope and DR..
Leon Solomon testified that the ac-
cused's reputation was, good and that
he was considered an efficient physi-
clan. Miss Pansy Perkins, a Red
Cross nurse, testified to the clinical
records and treatment given Otha
Murray. Capt. Victor Meddis, Major

American People

There is no foundation for the alleged
violations of law attributed to our Com
pany by agents of the Federal Trade
Commission and want to say emphatic
ally that Swift & Company is not a party to
any conspiracy to defraud the Govern
ment. Nor has Swift & Company been
guilty Of improperly storing foods or of
making false entries or reports.
Conferences of packers, where prices
have been discussed have been held at
the urgent request and in the presence
of representatives of either the Food
Administration or the Council of National
Defense. And yet the packers have been
accused of committing felony by acting
in collision on Government bidsl
We have done our best, with other
packers, large and small, to comply with
the directions of the United States Food
Administration in all particulars, including
the furnishing of food supplies for the us.
Army and Navy and the Allies, now be.
ing handled through the Food Admins
nation.
We will continue to do our utmost, un.
der Government direction, to increase our
production and assist the Food Admins
tration. We consider that the opportunity
to cooperate whole-heartedly and to our
fullest powers with this branch of the
Government is our plain and most press
ing duty.
The Trade Commission Attorney has.
by false inference and misplaced empha-
sis, given to disconnected portions of the
correspondence taken from our private
files and read into the Record, false and
sinister meaning with the plain purpose
Of creating antagonistic public opinion.
The services of the packers of the
United States are most urgently needed,
and regret exceedingly that we should at
this time have to spend our efforts in
defending ourselves against unfounded,
improved, and unfair assertions such as
are being daily made public.
