Ebb in Europe He
Says
700 TO DROP
CEREAL FROM MENUS

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-Herbert
Hoover has placed the issue OF wheat
conservation squarely up to the Ameri-
can people, and left in their hands
whether or not the needs Of the fighters
and civilians abroad shall be met.
The service that we ask OF you,
that we ask Of every well-to-do, every
independent person in the United States
today, is that he shall abstain from
wheat In any form until the next har-
vest was the plea which Mr.. Hoover
voiced in a speech before 100 hotel men
Of the United states, and the answer
was a pledge from virtually every man
present that no wheat products would
be served In his establishment until the
0rst Of September.
Another important development IN
the food situation yesterday was the
suspension OF meatless days for the
next thirty days.
Colncidentally with Mr.. Hoover's ap-
peal the House passed the Baer bill
/ providing fund Of S7,500OOO for the re-
/ lief Of farmers in all parts Of the
country who raise wheat, corn, rye
oats or barley. The money Will be lent
to buy seed and the bill gives the
secretaries Of agriculture and labor 81
$4,000 to mobilize labor for the harvest
this year.
The wheat situation IS the most seri

and is due. he said. to the following
causes:
The last harvest was less than wa
estimated.
The delays OF shipping have throw
a larger burden upon the American
people in feeding the Allies than wa
anticipated.
Failure Of the Argentine crop T.

IMPORTS PROHIBITED.
Eighty.Two Articles Placed Under Bar
to Save TONNAGE,

Washington, March 23.-The first list
of imports TO be prohibited entrance in
70 this country in an effort to conserve
tonnage for prosecuting the war was
made public last night by the war trade
board under authority Of President VIII
sons proclamation Of Feb. "A, which
puts all imports under license.
BY denying permits for the impor-
tation of certain metals, foodstuffs and
luxuries which can be obtained here
or can be sacrificed to the greater need
OF putting ships into war business, the
board expects to add 100000 dead
weight tons to the feet carrying men
and munitions to Europe.
Last nights list Of eighty-two arti-
Giles or classes OF articles constitutes
only those least essential. concerning
which there was little argument. Lists
70 follow will touch various interests
more closely and will not be issued IN
Ill after consultation with the trades
affected. so that there will be a mini
mum Of Reorganization and loss. The
experience Of the allies has been util-
lied in devising the system Of restric-
tons.
The restrictions are not effective on
goods shipped prior 70 April IS.
In discussing the list, officials
stressed the fact that It was aimed at
no country, but touched ali alike which
exported any Of these articles to
America
