OUR WOUNDED HEROES RE.
cEPTfoN.
General shanks shows There HAS
Been No Official NEGLECT"

To THE EDrroa OF The suH-sir. My
/ attention has been called to an editorial
article in THE EvENiNo Sun OF Decem-
Der 3. 1918, and to vefious letters Of
subsequent date relative TO lack Of n
proper reception for the slck and
wounded who returned to Hoboken De-
cember 1 on the transport Northern
Pacific.
! Several of these letters we're written
| by sick or wounded soldiers, and show
| that their feelings we're wounded through
what they attributed to neglect. This
feeling undoubtedly was accentlated be-
cause OF the noisy and enthusiastic re-
| ceptlon accorded TO the returning SOL
| diers on board the liner Mauritania,
especially In view OF tile fact that these
latter soldiers had not seen any ac-
| tive service.
The bare statements az published in
the press have. fear, given to the pub
! lie an idea that no one had the fore
thought 10 attempt any proper OF fitting
| reception for these wounded heroes.
Such, however, Is not the case. While
l was not on duty at the port at that
time, having only returned for duty at
this port of embarkation on December 8.

COUNCIL MEETING RKET WHEAT BY Is
TIME FOR COMPLETION OF FLOUR
- SURVEY EXTENDED TO

The order requiring that all wheat
be marketed by. May Is, means that no
wheat may be retained from the pres
ent supply for spring planting next
year, according to an announcement re-
ceiyed z'by the state food adninistra-
ton from the national food administra-
|tion @ this week, and the seed for next
years crop must be obtained from the
|crop grown this year. This ruling was
passed upon by the national food ad-
ministration at the request of many
Minnesota farmers who desired to hold
over sufficient seed for planting anoth-
ed crop, thing they have done for
years previous to this.
The only exception to the sale of
wheat order applies to winter wheat.
Those l'hh who desire to plant winter wheat
this fall may retain seed for the pur-
pose. The reason for this, the admin
istration explains is that it may be ne
ceasary to seed this winter wheat crop
before the seed is available from the
present crop, and because great deal
isof the last last winter wheat crop is a
total loss from freezing.
