of DR.. Solf the German foreign sec
retary, to President Wilson regard

ing the food, supply of the German
lpeople as q Contemplate attempt
at mischief making" The newspa-
per says DR.. Solf has but to look
at the armstice to see that the allies
and that the United States contem-
plate such provisioning of Germany
during the armistice as shall be
found necessary.

many, (which never showed mercy,
now has to implore it" 1t adds
the allies no doubt will take such
steps as humanity dictates, so far
as they can consistently do so, and
feed their own populations.
"But that is no trivial proviso,"
the Daily Chronicle concludes, "and
the food cargoes that Germany has
criminally sent to the bottom of the
sea cannot be fshed up, even to feed
Germany"
Appeal Reaches Wilson.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE appeal
of DR.. Solf, foreign secretary at Ber-
lin, for intervention by President
Wilson for mitigation of the fear
full conditions" of the armistice to
save Germany from starvation was
delivered to Secretary Lansing to-
day. by Minister Sulzer of Switzer
land. 1t was sent Immediately to
the president.
Officials say DR.. Solf is needlessly
alarmed. While every stipulation of
the armistice terms must be kept in
force to prevent the possibility Q:
treachery, Such rolling stock and
ships as may be necessary to pro-
vide food and other essentials will
be put into use in Germany and or
the seas.
In view of the situation in Ger
many, where outside aid may be
necessary to prevent anarchy. it is
possible that the president may see
fit to take up with the allied govern
ments the question OF giving some
kind of reinsurance to the humane
purposes of the associated powers.
Among other things, it is under
stood, the plan is to put the Ger,
man merchant marine into service
as soon as possible after the prob
lem created by the naval revolt is
cleared up, and such vessels neces-
sary will be employed for sending
supplies through German ports.
Due precautions will be taken, of
course, to see that these supplies are
devoted to the purposes for which
they, are intended. President VII
son has already instructed Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover to proceed to
Europe and represent the United
States in dealing with the Situation,
which will include the care of the

ditions.
From government statistics he
concludes that the total 1917 wheat
supply of the United States was but
$50. 10000 bushels and that the
country viii not have enough for an
eight months supply. II Il exports
what 1t should to the allies and uses

have left only 3s0.oOo.0oo bushels.
In 1916 it used 500. 900. 900 bushels

Because of this shortage he be
lieved the United States must con-
serve its home supply 125, 200. 600
bushels or one-fourth the home con
sumption. And he believes the gov
ernment would be fully justified in
Increasing the percentage Of extrac-
tion OF -four from wheat by 10 per

the quality of -four. but would in
crease the amount to the extent of

SHOULD GRADE POTATOES.

Colorado farmers are losing money
through failure to grade their pota-
toes, the markets committee of the
Colorado Council of Defense advises.
If they sort the frost-bitten ones
from the good ones, the commission
men will offer acceptable prices. At
present a majority of the growers
are mixing the two together. AS the
result the commission men must sort
and resort the potatoes as aften as
three times, and then the retail men
must sort them again. The conse-
quence is the buyers will not offer
good prices and the price to the farm
ers has dropped so cents per 100
pounds in twenty daps. The failure
to grade potatoes Is a national one.
and has brought a national stagna-
tion in the potato market But Colo
dorado farmers will find a better
market as soon as they grade their
product.
