HOOVER M0DlF|ES PLAN.
REVISES ORDER AFFECTING
FARMERS FLOUR PUR-
CHASES.
Lever and Byrncs Secure Ruling From
Administration I'm Response to Ap-
peal.

Washington, Feb. 9.-NOt satisfied
with the delay of the food admins
tration in responding to their protests
against it's order which precluded the
farmer from purchasing flour unless
nc purchased an equal quantity Of a
substitute foodstuff like meal, rice,
ETC., Representatives Lever and
Byrnes yesterday called upon Mr..
Hoover in person and entered most
vigorous protest against the wisdom
and sanity of this order.
The situation of the South Carolina
farmers was fully explained to Mr..
Hoover and ii was pointed out that
this order. if permitted to stand,
would not only work an injustice to
the farmers of the State, but neces-
sarily result both in waste and in a
decreased production of other food
stuffs.
When the situation was fully un-
derstood by Mr. Hooveri he took steps
at once to authorize the food admin
istrators of the State to permit the
farmers to purchase -four without
having to purchase an equal amount
Of other foodstuffs which he himself
had on hand.
Under the new ruling, all the farm
er will have to do is to satisfy his
grocer that he has on hand other sub
stitute foodstuffs when he will be per-
mited to purchase 20 per cent. of his
normal consumption Of flour for 80
days at time.

An UNSUITABLE SHIP.
MEANS FOUND TO MAKE TRANS
PORT SECURE FROM
SUBMARINES.
vice Chairman OF Naval Consulting
Board Makes Far Reaching State
mcnt ut Dinner Of Pennsylvania
AIumni---NO Reason for Secrecy.

New York, Feb. 9.-Means have
oeen round to make transports un-
sinkable by submarines, according to
statement made here tonight by
William l.. Saunders, vice chairman
OF the naval consulting board, in an
address at dinner Of the University
OF Pennsylvania Alumni.
Mr. Sanders said that one Of the
ships recently Communicated by the
government now lies at an Atlantic
port and in such shape that she can
not be sunk by an exploding torpedo"
Il can conceive of no reason why
this information should be withheld" >"
he added. "On the contrary, I believe
it is well that the enemy may come
to realize that the time has been
reached when American transports
are ready for the transportation of
our troops which the enemy can not
sink
This ship may have hole 80 or 40
feet in diameter blown in her side and
she will remain afloat. Such n hole
would waterlog but one length of the
honeycombed alright cells"
Mr.. Saunders described In detail
tho plan to keep ships aGoat after
they had been torpedoed and the
manner in which it had been develop
ed by William f. DOnnelly, a New
York engineer, working under author
ization of the navy consulting board.
"Of course it will take some time
to equip similarly the large number
of transports we have" continued Mr..
Saunders. 1T is my belief, however,
that nothing will be left undone by
the administration to safeguard the
lives of large troop contingents to be
moved across the Atlantic"
Mr.. Saunders in statement credited
&c him last May, asserted that So
Tuition Of the submarine problem had
probably been found by the board and
in the opinion Of the board members
the scheme as approved, would put
an end to the submarine menace. He
did not enter into details.

it is possible for belligerents to go on
comparing views, he said, is simple

applied were first, each part of the
final settlement must be based on es-
sential justice to bring a permanent
peace; second, peoples and provinces
must not be bartered about like chat
tells to establish a balance of powers;
third, territorial settlements must be
for the benefit Of the peoples concern

reached.
THE need Of the nation is great
The shipping board has the money.

is planned to make a careful selection
of men whose places can be filled
without hardship and when called
upon to give up the job they now
hold will have waiting for them def
