he reviewed the Deem case from the
beginning. He stressed the point that
he had no personal dislike for Prof.
Deem, but IN the contrary had put him
at the head OF the A. II. Hill school,
However, In the recommendation was
a statement that during Prof. Deems
service at the Hill school the transfers
Of teachers had been exceedingly large,

made up recently for spring selling and
wearing. They are woolens of the char

They are suitings and skirtings that the

WHEAT MAY EXCEED
GUARANTEED PRICE
Feeding of Devastated
Countries Depletes
Stores at Home.

! Belief that the guaranteed price of
! this wears wheat crop may even be
exceeded because OF a grain shortage
due to conditions in the new coun'
tries of Europe. is expressed locally,
| following receipt of advlces from the
offices of the American Relief Admin
| istration, which Is feeding the Eu~
rcpeans. In some of the devastated
countries aid will be necessary only
until this fall's harvest, while in AM
erica will have to send wheat prob
ably until next year.
There Is little or no wheat remain
ing from last year locally and when
this years crop begins coming in II
f. probably that there VIII be short
age available for home consumption,
which will stimulate bidding among
jobhers The amount of grain to be
exported will determine whether there
will be an alvance over the guaran-
teed price.
At present Poland is in desperate
need of food. Sixty per cent of her
last harvest was carried away by the
Germans Normally Poland is a self
sustaining country as to food and with
some help now she can stand on her
own feet. Since the middle of Feb
ruary. about 10000 tons of Ameri>
can foodstuffs have been sent into
Poland.
Besides being in the most desper-
ate need of food now, Rumania will
need outside assistance for some time
to come because she has lost pract-
cally all of her seed and her next
harvest therefore will be far below
normal.
1t is very difficult to distribute food
and clothing in Rumania owing to
the disastrous breakup of her trans
portation systems.
10000 Tons TO Finland.
Thirty-thousand tons OF rye and
other food supplies have gone to Fin
land. They were unloaded at the
ports of Hango and Helsingfors and
transported into the northern inter-
ior by sledge.
Serbia, which is included in Jugo
Slavia is undoubtedly the country
most ravaged by war. Besides its
losses in food supplies, raw materials
and the lose incurred by the demo-
lition of factorie and all transporta-
ton systems. Serbia has lost more of
her civil population than any other
country during the war.
Czecho Slovakia is better off than
many of the countries because she isl
rich ly endowed by nature with nat
ural resources of food and raw ma
terials OFrtunately, she has every
prospect of having n good harvest
this year so that with outside help
until this crop is harvested, she can
well look out for herself.
There is undoubtedly no hungier
Nearly all of the rich farm lands that
formerly supported this city have gone
to the new stations of Hungary and
Czecho Slovakia. Vienna faces a sad
future. Owing to the chaotic politi-
cal condition of Hungary it is very
difficult to distribut food. What food
she gets from America she gets
through the ordinary commercial
channels.

ChoppyWaves Prevented Plane
From Rising Again; Men
Were Lost for Five Hours
Until Rescued.

HoRTA. Azores. May 20.-Lleuten-
ant Commander Bellinger To-day told
the United Press how the American
seaplane NC-I was lost.
After the start from Trepaassy, the
NC-1 proceeded along her course,
passing all stations without encoun-
tering any difficulty until between
Nos. IL and IS. when at II n. m. sat
urday we ran into dense clouds and
fog" said Bellinger. I'VE decided II
was advisable to allght, and at 1:10
y. m. descended from 5000 feet to be-
tween 25 and so feet. The wind di
rection there was different than II was
above, and we found the fog was even
denser at that low height. Not know
ing our position, we headed into the
wind and landed on the rough seas.
I'VE drifted absolutely lost for five
hours before sighting the steamer
Ionia. hull down on the horizon. We
TAXED toward her until she sighted us.
We were picked up by n small boat
from the Ionia after a remarkable dis
play OF seamanship. We suffered no
injuries. but were seasick and sleepy.
We sent out several s. o. S. messages
and Intercepted replies: but received
no aid. and 1t was impossible to get
off the heavy, choppy swells."
A methodical log was kept all the
time. The crew slept 3 hours on
the cruiser Coiumbiaa.
An attempt was made by the
Ionia to tow the NC-i. but the haw-
ser snapper. The destroyers Harding
and Fairfax later attempted TO bring
the plane In. and the latest report here
said the Fairfax was still trying to
salvage her. II is feared, however.
that she will be a total loss.
Bellinger said that he and the
other planes had not seen each other
during the flight. hearing only the
vessels talking about their progress.
