Burlington, May 31.-The following

food administrator yesterday:
Reports have been circulated that
food administration officials state fur
ther wheat conservation is not neces-
sary."
NO statement of the character has
ever been issued" says Mr.. Deems.
The actual position is that our supply
until harvest will allow home con-
sumption of approximately one-third

ply to the allies.
I'm the farmers hands and storage
we had at the beginning Of May, 75,-
100000 bushels Of wheat to carry us
approximately three months, or with
an early harvest, perhaps two weeks
shorter. Our normal consumption for
three months would be 12O,0O0,000
bushels, not allowing our allies any
thing"
Food Administrators Deems an
nounces that retailers may sell fifty
pounds Of sugar on certificates for can
ming purposes only. 1t is deemed of the
greatest importance that more atten-
ton be given to canning and preserv-
Ing, than has ever been done in the
past. People are urged to can as they
never canned before.

[By E. G. Dougherty.1

Washington, May 31.-The assign
ment Of 500 drafted men to Iowa State
College at Ames for instruction in the
mechanical trades has been followed by
orders that will practically abandon
the old classes in military training at
Ames.
Orders have been issued transferring
Lieut.. Col. Charles Byrne U. S. A.,
retired, from his post as instructor Of
military tactics and science at Ames
to the Missouri Military College at
Mexico, Mo.
1t is planned to utilize to the utmost
the technical training facilities at
Ames to train motor mechanics, for
motorized military units, and to train
drafted men In other mechanical
branches which go with the modern
army, leaving to the other schools in
Iowa with military training the task of
continuing the training of reserve Of
ficer material for future officer needs.
Drafted men assigned to Ames for a
special course in the mechanical arts
will have the rare opportunity Of fit

dustries after the war. as we'll as as

Wood Case Stirs Washington.
Washington has been as much
wrought up over the shelving of Cen
eral Wood the last few days as it has
been over the resumption of the Ger
man drive.

the demotion of General Wood was one
of the most serious tactical plumbers
the war administration has yet made.
He was permitted to train his regiment

divisions departure for France. and
this in spite Of the fact that Wood is
recognized at home and abroad as one
of the worlds foremost military fig
ures.
What makes the Wood case harder
to understand is that the general
passed physical examination with
flying colors altho he was ordered be-
fore a medical examining board while
he was not far past the recuperating'
stage after being Wounded in France.
1t can not even be established that
General Pershins recommended his
shelving. On the other hand officers
close to Wood insist that Pershing ex-
pressed desire when Wood was In
France for his return las "a division

No attempts at explanation have
