Couch, Federal Fuel Administrator for Arkansas, return ed yesterday from Kansas City, where he attended an important con ference of the State Administrations fer the Seventeenth Zone comprising the states of Arkansas, Missouri, Kan sas, Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska, Iowa. and Colorado.
 One of the most important things done was to secure an agreement with the mine operators for a sum mer reduction in the mine price of slack. as had previously been grant ed in mne-run and lump coal.
 This reduction is 45 cents for May, 30 cents for June and 1o cents for July. Slack that now sells at the mine at $2S5. in the Arkansas bitum- inous district, will sell at $40 for May, $2.55 for June, and $2.7O for July.
 This reduction is made as an in ducement to the steam-usars to lay in their supply of slask at once. just as the domestic consumers have been placing their orders for lump.

AIRCRAFT CRITIC UNDER FIRE IN
 FEDERAL PROBE
Evidence Shows He Sought to Organize to Get Gov

Washington, May 10-Sensational sworn statements, letters and tele- grams from the files of the army in telligence service were read into the senate records today to show that Gutzon-Borglum, while holding a per onal commission from President Will son to inquire into the governments t's aviation program, was negotiating se- cretly for the formation of a private airplane company to take contracts and capitalize his friendship with the president.
 The scul ptor, who has been the chief critic of aircraft production officials is represented as seeking for himself position as slent partner in the pro posed new corporation, his sole asset in the transaction to be "his personal friendship with President Wilson, whom. he stated, "he could do any thing with"

Mix, of the Dodge Manufacturing company of In diana setting forth detailed account of his negotiations with the two men is among the papers put in the con gressional record
 The Mix statement shows that gov ernment officials including Vice Presi- dent Marshall and Howard E. Coffin, former head of the aircraft boahr, have had most of the information dis closed today, since last January. There is no indication, however, that it reached President Wilson at that time or that the president knew of it's exisentce, until several weeks ago, when he called a halt upon the sculp- tors Investigation in his name.
 Attorney General to Act.
 One of the documents submitted by Senator Thomas of Colorado as we'll as much data from the war depart ment, has been placed in the hands of assistant Attorney General Frier- son, who has just started the in quiry ordered disloyalty in govern ment aircraft production. These charges of graft disloyal in gov crnment aircraft production. These charges preferred first in capitol cloakrcon gossip and finally on the floor of the senate have been attrl- huted largely to assertions of Bor- glum.
 With the Mix statement there was filed today copy of formal state ment accusing Borglum. made to the military intelligence section of the army general staff in January by Henry Harrison Suplee. Mix's con sulting engineer, and who pa1ticiuat the proposed corporation with Bor- in many conferences on the subject ot g!um and Gibson described by his chief. The latter said he became suspicious when he visited Borglum in Washington during January and was shown Presidents Wilson's letter au- thorizing the probe by the sculptor and decided then to report the whole matter to the government authorities.
 There are intimations that great deal of information bearing on Bor- glum's activities and motives has been assembled by the army intelligence service.

NEED BIG HERDS
Europs's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Fve1
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their fiocks and
herds In order TO meet Europe's ire
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
ralsers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England-where 100000
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
Sits per 100 pounds; October, SIPS;
November and December, $16.0S; jan
larry, s14.40 The effect of these prices
was TO drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had IL, S07 600 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only r.
341 300, a decrease of 1855 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
Of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
ductton of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

MADE-IN.GERMANY lies
CIRCULATED In CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
Made-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation &C
cording to an official statement re
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food ad-
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in a battalion of soldiers.
Stories without even a vestige Of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dlssipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
at lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority Of
people yet realize"

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying S20O,OOO,00o year toward the
cost of it,
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets al
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
TO sell at IS cents, the two pound loaf
at Q cents and the one pound loaf at B
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction. the four pound loaf sells for
10 cents.

Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in a state of health and
when used according to the scores of
tried recipes, especially when COIN
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at a
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration Of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
Today there are approximately so
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five bush
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as

Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of a mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.

wheat saved in America means a pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ-

There are a score Of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet

and for use in the kitchen instead of

products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
