BIGGER CUT IN RATIONS
DEMANDED BY COOKE.
Food Controller, Back From
Washington, Tells of Need
for Wheat

Rations still must he cut TO conserve
the nations wheat supply, according to
announcement by Jay Cooke, local food
administrator who has just returned
from meeting Of state and Federal
food administrators with Herbert {.
Hoover in Washington.
Wheat still is the overwhelming
problem, he explained.
"The supply is seriously short of re-
quirements, he said. at Is becoming
perfectly clear that more radical meas
ures than those now in effect must soon
be adopted further TO conserve the
scanty supply. Such measures were dis
cussed by the state administrators in
Washington. No conclusions or decisions
had been reached when | left.
"The meat Supply Of the nation is
plentiful just now, but it is II temporary
condition. / do not look for any radical
fall in price. \ little later on there will
be another scarcity. Tho present con-
dition results from bad transportation
conditions in the winter, which backed
up the supply on the ranches. Now
transportation is better and large sup
plies Of cattle are coming in. \ ccn-
tributory factor, Of course, is the short
age in ocean shipping Englishmen are
living on one pound Of meat Il week

and pork is great. but there Is nc way
for US to ship our surplus. This con-
dition will be remedied | am confident,

U. s. RUSHES TROOPS,

ments Brightest Fact Re
vealed by War Council
Washington. March Is.


Accelerated troop movement is for the
moment, the brightest spot In American
war work; delay in the aviation pro-
gram Is most discouraglng.
That stands today as the main revela-
ton from the first joint session OF the
War Council and the Senate Military
Committee.
Charts and figures. presented clearly
and frankly, showed that transport
trips had been shortened and that de-
lays at French ports have been reduced
that every available ton of shipping
has been gathered to aid in the spec ding
up process. and that all Government
agencies are working harmoniously to
increase the American force on the
west front.
on the other hand the charts showed
the aviation program to be far behind
schedule
General Pershing is understood to
have directed sharp query to the de-
partment as to the whereabouts of a
considerable group of airplanes prom
ised him, whereas he Is said to have
had only single shipment AS re-
suit of the extreme slowness of this
program the War Council and other
agencies arei investigating the situation
thoroughly to place responsibility and
to get action. \ special probing COM

of the council that this situation Will
soon show signs of radical improvement.
In the fields between transportation
and aviation progress was reported

Frankness marks this new plan of

Germans efforts to choke off Amer

ruthless summarizing OF neutral craft

justification for the requisitioning of
