Railways Needed For War Work;
 Each State Should Feed Ifself
This Is Message Brought by E. R. Wiles Back From Wilmington Conference Says Nation is Facing
 Serious Foo l Situation

'rhe country is facing a serious sit uation, because the allies are staring starvation in the face, and their con dttiOn is our condition," said E. R. Wi!es, state hotel inspector, to The Graphic last night. Mir. Wiles, who is a Pine Bluff man. has just returned from Washington where he went to confer with Herbert Hoover, foor ad- ministratOr, over the regulations for the conservation of food
 England is on a pound of meat a Week-that is regulations have been put into effect there restricting each person to one pound of meat each week" Mir. Wiles continued This in- dicates the imperative necessity for us to conserve food. As transporta- tion is one of the difficulties of the situation in the United States, it de wolves upon each section to feed itself. l suggested this to Mir. Hoover, and he agreed that if people would live upon the products grown at home, they would render patriotic service to the nation, ard greatly aid in the war against Germany. Trains now requir- ed for hauling food from one section of the country to another would be re- leased for government and other nec- essary work, and food prices would be lower, because of the elimination of long hauls and consequent freight charges" MT. Wiles told MT. Hoover
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-02-16

that Arkansas could be depended upon to do it's utmost, and that she would eat colnbread.
 Mir. Wiles said he was gratified to learn from MT Hoover and other off clals of the food administration that Arkansas is one of the best organized states in the country, and Pine Bluff has the best organization of any city" he said. "NOWhere are hotels and restaurants observing more closely the regulations of the food administra tion for wheatless and meatless days and meals" said the state hotel in spector, who is chairman of the hotel and restaurant mems division of the food administration work
 The rule limiting the ration of wheat bread to two ounces on days when wheat products may be served, and to four ounces of wheat substitute must be followed, said Mir. Wiles.
 We are far from the rationing sys- tenn, the state hotel inspector thinks, but in order to bring about observance by householdeys of wheatless and meatless days, bill has been intro- duced in congress which authorizes the president to designate wheatless and meatless days, and when he will have done so, those who violate the regulation will be subject to arrest an dproscution. That will catch the slacker," said Mir. Wiles.

BOLO APPEALS IS CONFIDENT
 OF ESCAPING

Paris, Feb. 15.-Bolo Pasha, who yesterday was convicted by court martial of treason and sentenced to death, today appealed from the yer dict to the court of cassation. Bolo, much to his surprise was dressed in prison garb and taken to the death cell on his return to the Sante prison. He passed a restless night. but was apparently hopeful that the decision may be reversed on appeal. He said to the guard:
 q am perfectly tranquil. I have a thousand grounds for appeal"
 One of these is supposed to be the allegation that a witness for the prosecution was seen, during a recess in the trial, in conversation with the president of the court martial and the government counsel.
 BOlo was told that Joseph Caillaux, former preimer, was astonished at his conviction. There were many call CTS at the prison this morning, but none were admitted.

 BUT NONE HURT
Germans Bombard U. IS. Troops With Deadly
 Missiles.

With the American Army in France. Feb. 1l5.-The Germans. opposed to the Americans early today made an unsuccessful bombardment with gas shells. German airplanes in large numbers also were driven off by the American planes and anti-aircraft batteries.
 Gas shells in considerable numbers from the German guns fell within the American sector early this morning. making necessary the wearing of gas masks in all parts of the trenches for more than three hours. One Ameri- can was injured by an explosion shell, but so excellent has been the anti-gas training of the men that not single sace of gas poisoning wa reported.
 The duration of the shelling was two hours, but traces of the poison ous fumes remained for al, hour af- ter the tbombardment ceased.
 Visibility WIS good today in the clear, cold atmosphere, and as re- suit there was much aerial activity on both sides.

President Puts Control of All Exports and Imports
 Witt War Board.
WILL SHIFT TRADE
 ROUTES OF WORLD
Order Di.ertS all American and iiiied ~hppin@ tn War Weeds Neu- trnls Will Be Controlled by
 Fuel supply.

Washington, Feb. 15.--All foreign
 trade of the United States, exports ano
 imports, was put under license today
 b., President Wilson.
 1 As q part of general program of
 the American and allied governments i for releasing ships to transport troops and supplies to Europe, the less es-
 ential exports and imports will be
 reduced to q minimum and material i regarded as necessary will be trans ported by the shortest hauls possible The allies are working in close CO., operation with the United States, and the trade routes of the world, in many instances, will be shifted to bring about the most economical operation of tonnage. The allies already have cut their foreign trade sharply, but will make further reduction as part of the general plan.
 American representative sitting in London, will work with allied repras- entatlves in eliminating and rearrang- ing foreign ocean commerce to free ships for war service.
 War Trade Board m Charge.
 Licensing of American exports and imports will be handled by the war trade board, which has created spec lal contraband committee with final power in deciding the country's fore ign trade policies. The board, which already issues licenses for large num- bers of commodities over which the government has exercised import and export control, will work with the state department, the department of commerce and the shipping board in arranging trade routes.
 There will be no nasty decisions, it was said tonight, in determining what exports and imports are to be elim- mated. The trades interested will be given hearings and the plan is to put the program into effect as grad ually as is possible, in view of the imperative need of diverting vessels to the war zone.
 Neutral Ships in Safe Trade.
 American ships taken out of the trade and put into transatlantic service will be replaced where it can be done. by neutral ton mage, for which the government is negotiating. Control of exports and and of bumper coal bv the United States and the allies gives them control of neutral tonnage. and officials predict that virtually ali the ocean going ships owned by the neu tra!s will be in the American and al- lied services before many months.
 Officials decline to speculate tonight on the changes in routing of American foreign commerce likely to grow out of the measure to be put in force American trade balances will be eff. fected considerably by redistributing commerce; and one of the concerns of the government is to maintain them on as favorable a basis as possible. Con | trol over exports and imports will be used to bargain with both the allies and the neutrals for products which 1 cute the war.
