up to a least 20,00o,000 tons-prac-
tically the limit Of loading capacity at

World Food Demand Increased.
The end Of the war will create an
enormously increased demand for food.
Humanity demands that the starving
millions freed from Prussian oppres-
sion shall have sufficient supplies to
assure their return to health and pros
perity. II these liberated nations are
faced with starvation they cannot es-
tablish orderly governments. Hunger
breeds anarchy In a people. The war
to free the world for democracy will
be lost after II has been won. Amer
lea must continue It's work to liberia
ton and by sharing its food make de-
mocracy safe In the world.
In order to meet this new situation
the Food Administration has made a
careful survey Of the food u Of
the whole world in relation to the to-
tai demands. Computing supplies on
the basis of the avoidance Of waste
and war consumption, II Is found that
wheat and rye may be obtained In suf-
ficient quantities to meet economical
world consumption high protein feed
for dairy animals will show q shortage
of about 100000 tons, while there
will be sufficient supplies of other
feeds to allow economical consump-
ton beans, peas and rice will also be
found In sufficient quantities to main
tain economy in consumption; ther,
are sufficient supplies Of beef to keeI

MUST PAY FOR OPPORTUNITY

Lack of opportunity is the lack we
most frequently bewail. Yet those at
whose door opportunity seldom knocks
and upon whom ii bestows only the
most grudging gifts may still cherish
some conSolatOry reflections. OppOr-
tunity never presents itself to any
one as Il wholly munficent fairy; it
always manages to exact some sacri-
flee for the benefits or advantages
that il promises to confer. And usual
ly the sacrifice Is more or less COM
mensurate with the opportunity. The
man who laments the rut I'm which he
must travel finds when the opportuni-
ty to struggle out of it occurs that
disturbing consequences follow; break
ing OF ties that on being threatened
take on sudden new formidableness.
The step upward means nearly al
ways step away from the old assO-
ciates and the old associations. So
many deferred considerations are
suggested in the advances that oppOr-
tunity makes that everyone can well

usually drags the loosened pieces of

Daniels Looking Into
Charges Of Bribery and
Graft in Naval Service

New York, Feb. 1S.-Arrests on
charges of bribery and graft in the
personnel of the Third naval dis
trict have been made, following an
investigation ordered by Secretary
Daniels, the New York Post says
today.
The Post quotes Secretary Dan
iels as saying that the investigation
indicates that money was paid for
assignments and promotions in the
service and discharges from the
service"
The bribery charges are set forth
as consisting of the acceptance for
enlistment of physically untitled
men upon false medical records: the
assignment Of men for duties far
removed from war zones and ac-
tual service; permission to men to
continue their business activities
while attending to their navy duties
for only an hour or two a day: aud
the passing of men for early dis
charge after the signing Of the armi-
stice.
The amount Of money said to have
been collected fro5n aspirants for
preferment is reported to be close to
$S00000.

GROUND TO HOPE
FOR EARLY PEACE
GIVEN To- HUNS
This Was Only Word Of Cheer
Erzberger Gave Assembly
as Result of NegOtia-
tions With FOCh.

Weimar, Feb. 18.-(By Associated
Press THE German cabinet voted
early Sunday morning TO reject the
allied terms for the renewal Of the
armistice and take the chances of an
allied military advance being or
dered. After consultation with the
party leaders, however, the decision
was changed and on Sunday night
orders were issued that the armis-
tice be signed.
1t appears that the government
considered one of the allied condi-
tions as capable of being construed
to mean that the allies, if they found
it necessary, might occupy all Ger
many, and the cabinet is declared to
have felt that ultimately there would
be such an occupation and that it
might be as we'll to bring things to
a crisis now, rather than sign an
agreement which it considered de-
grading in its terms.
Erzberger Reports to Assembly.
Matthias Erzberger, head of the
German armlstice delegation. was
noticeably wrought up and lsboring
under strain, when he reported to
the assembly the full details of the
negotiations. AS he read the terms,
the house listened in almost agonized
silence. The slightest stir of noise
brought angry Kisses; the assembly
never has been one quite so still.
The members of the house stirred
uneasily as he finished and stopped
for breath Before continuing his
explanation Herr Erzberger inter-
jected:
at is my wish that you may never
have the fateful hours / have had.
We on the commission have had to
bear untold responsibility"
He then referred to the unfortu-
nate, well-nigh fatal delay in the ar
rival of the terms at Weimar and
went into details on Marshal Foch's
ultimatum, which he said he was as
sured was framed with unqualified
approval of President Wilson. Herr
Erzberger told of his efforts to Sc
cure notifications, but said Marshal
