In Mississippi Terminals.

Special 10 The World
OKLAHOMA CITY, June 16.-
The price of wheat is to be advanced
to the farmer at, principal Missls-
sippi valley and eastern terminals as
a result of the recent increase in
freight rates, according to a mes
sage received last night by c. B.
Ames, state food administrator
from Herbert Hoover.
"The advance in freight rates
June "a will in justice to tho farm
er necessitate an advance in the
price of wheat at the principal Mis-
sissippi valley and eastern terminals
of a few cents a bushel." Hoover
says in his message.
THE advance will be worked out
So as to equalize as far as may be
possible the loss that the farmer
would otherwise incur through the
increase In rates. Details OF rate
advances probably will not be known
until June 25, when we are assem-
bling a committee Of traffic experts
to consider what actual advance in
prices is necessary in compensa-
ton"

SEA WOLVES AGAIN NEAR
VENEZUELA POSSIBLE BASE

WASHINGTON, June l6.--Ger-
many's sea wolves have sunk two
more neutral vessels in American
waters,
Tho latest victims of the raiders
which first made their appearance
of the Atlantic coast some three
weeks ago, are the sailing ship
Kringsjaa and the bark Samoa. both
Norwegian.
The crew of the fornfer has been
picked up by an American warship
which is bringing them to an Allan
tic port and that of the latter was
landed tonight at Norfolk
Both vessels were sent down
ninety miles off the Virginia coast
The ASamoa was sunFfsby shell fire
at s N'clock Friday morning, the
navy department announced today
but the time and manner. of the
sinking of the KrfnGsjaa had not
been reported to the department late
tonight. Its announcement con
cerning the KringsJaa said:
A'Crited States manor war has
picked UP all of the survivors of the
bark Kringsjaa, which was sunk
a dlpul ulHtlN HllltS bll tht ~ Nli'H
coast. They are being brought to an
Atlantic port"
Although~the report to the depart
ment might indicate that some of
the crew of the Kringsjaa had been
killed. officials believed that as they
had done before. the Germans per
mitted all on board the ship to take
20 the sailing vessels. The same
U-boat is believed to have hit both.
Since the Kringsjaa was sent
down in the same general locality
as the Samoa, 1t was believed tonight
that the same submarine had ac-
counted for the two ships. II also
was regarded as certain that the
same submarine unsuccessfully at
tackled the British steamer Keemun
off the, Virginia capes last Thursday
evening.
The Kringsiaa brings the total of
vessels sunk by the German U-hoats
off the American coast to twenty.
six OF which were Norwegian, four
steamers and two sailing craft.

HUNS ARE COMPLETELY
STOPPED IN FRANCE.

With the commencement of the
long expected Austrian offensive the
fighting in France has simmered
down to sub-normal except south
west Of Scissors where the French
have delivered several violent at
tacks against the Germans holding
territory captured last week. Where
the enemy week ago was throwing
thousands of men against the allied
lines between Montdidier and Noyon,
Sunday saw him worn out with his
useless efforts and his forces sadly
depleted through men killed and
wounded, unwilling or unable to
further give battle.

WINNING OF WAR IS
FIRST RAILROAD AIM
McAdoo Outlines Policy in Manage
mcnt OF Systems; Service 10
Public Is Second.
UNDERSTANDING IS WANTED
On Part OF Patrons, Employees and
Owners Sympathy Is to
no Promoted.

/ WASHINGTON. June 16.---In
comprehensive statement OF polic.
made public today Director Genera
| McAdoo declared the railroad ad
ministratioD's aims In order Of i'm.
portance age to win the war by NOV.
ing troops and war materials
promptly, to give efficient service
to the public, to promote sympathy
and understanding between the rail-
road managements. employees and
patrons and to apply sound business
policies to railway operation.
He said he hoped future develop
ment would ''humanize the science
OF rallroading and negative tho idea
that corporations have no souls"
THE policy Of tine United States
railroad, administration" said the
director-goenral, has been formed
and shaped by desire to accomplish
tho following purposes which are
named In what / conceive to be the
order of their Importance:
First, the winning off, tho war
which includes tho prompt move
ment OF the men and material that
the government requires. To this
everything else must be subordina-
ted.
Second. the service OF the public,
which is the purpose for which the
railways were built and given the
privileges accorded them. This i'm
plies the maintenance and improve
ment OF the railroad properties 30
that adequate transportation facili-
ties will be provided at the lowest
cost. the object OF the government
being to furnish service rather than
to make money.
Third, the promotion of a spirit
OF sympathy and better under
standing as between the administra-
ton OF the railways and their two
million employees as well as their
one hundred million patrons
Fourth. the application of sound
economies including:
Ia The elimination OF super
fluous expenditures,
cd The payment OF a fair and
hVing wage for services rendered
and a Just and prompt compensation
for injuries received.
"(c). The purchase OF material
and equipment at the lowest prices
consistent with reasonable but not
an excessive profit to the producer.
"(d) The adoption of standard
lied equipment and the Introduction
Of approved devices that will save
life and labor.
"(e) The routing OF freight and
passenger traffic with one regard
TO the fact that straight line is
the shortest distance between two
points.
"(D The intensive employment
Of all equipment and careful rec
ord and scientific study OF the re-
suits obtained with view to deter
mining the comparative efficiency
secured
The development OF this policy
will of course require time The
task to which the railroad admins
tration has addressed Itself is an I'M
mense one. II is as yet too early
to Judge Of the results obtained, but
| believe that great progress has
been made toward the goal Of our
ideals"
