Decision of War Trade Board Is
Announced, Effective at
Once.
HOG PRICES MAY SOAR
Food Officials Declare That Action Of
War Trade Board Destroys Their
Ability to Further Stabilize
Price Of Live Hogs.

Washington, March 1.-THE war
-rade board announces removal OF
pork and pork products from, the ex-
port conserYation list, effective at
once.
At the same time the board rescind-
ed the regulations by which all appli-
cations for licenses to export these
commodities to European destinations
were required to bear a certificate
from the Food administration, show
ing that the administration had ap-
proved the sale price.
The Food administration in an an
pouncement simultaneously said this
action would destroy its ability to fur
ther stabilize the price of live hogs
and that it probably would result in
the price of hogs and pork increasing
beyond the stabilized prices which the
administration had desired to continue
to March 81.
Provisions Commission Dissolved.
The War Trade board announcement
also said that it had been advised that
the Allied Provisions Export commits
sion had been dissolved and that pur-
chases of foodstuffs for shipment to
Great Britain, France and Italy would
no longer be made by that commiss sion.
This commission was organized early
in the war and all foodstuffs for the
Allies bought in America were pur-
chased through it.
With removal of pork and pork prod
ucts from the conservation list, the
board announced that these commodi-
ties could be exported freely to the
United Kingdom, France, Italy, Bel
gium, Japan or Greece or their colo
der the special export license issued
February 26.
Officials of the Food administration
had expected to reach an agreement
before the first of the month on the
continuance of the minimum prices for
hogs, but after conferences with the
War Trade board and President Will
son, ii was announced no decision
would be possible until the President
could consider the whole matter OF ex.
port embargoes.
Two statements were issued by the
Food administration. One dealt entire
ly with the effort of the War Trade
Boards order. The order said former
Governor Stuart of Virginia, chair
man of the National Agricultural Ad-
visory committee has sent to his
committee and to the swine producers
committee statement indorsing and
warmly commencing the earnest, but
unavailing efforts OF the Food admin
istration" to maintain the minimum
price for hogs.

Bonnie o. Durham Of Norway Lake
who recently returned from overseas
war service was, with his father Ole
Durham, q caller In Willmar yesteN
day. Bonnie has been thru the hot
Of the fight in France. He was a
member of the 360th infantry, 9Oth
division and landed in France June
Goth, 1918. ~~ ~.
On August 7th, his division was
ordered into the first line trenches
at St. Mihiel Hill. Durham took part
in the fighting at -Penvillers Of the

to Sept. 26th, and in the Meuse-Ar-
gonne drive on November LIST.
To give some idea OF the fighting
thru which he has been, Durham
stated that as early as Sept. 26th, only
rs of his original company were left
on duty. On one occasion, q Lieuten.
ant at his side was blown to pieces,
three OF his comrades In front of him

unhurt. At another time, he and his
comrades going over the top and hold
ing mo mans land" were compelled
to lie in the open for four days with
out thing to eat.
He stated that the American bar
rage fire at Argonne was so terrific
that the Germans in the front line
could not retreat and as the American
artillery shortened its range, they
were actually driven into the Ameri-
can lines and capitulated. On one &C.
casion they took 400 prisoners in one
bunch. On the eve of November list,
he stated that they had the heavy
woods before them. At eleven o'clock
the American artillery opened up and
when morning came. the woods had
been ripped into shreds and looked
like stripped cornf1eld.
Bonnie was gassed at one time,
effects from which he is yet suffering.

While American and other allied
troops are waging war against the
bolsheviki on the northern front,
another war Is continually going on
In Archangel-the war against boil
shevik spies and agents.
Nearly all the trouble that has oc-
Cured In Archangel. In the way Of

part OF some OF the new Russian con-
script troops, can be traced to these

allies occupied Archangel, 1t was alb

the Bolsheviki who remained behind,
Many Of the bolshevik soldiers
whom our forces captured at the
front, including many who said they
were forced to serve with the boil
shevik despite their objections, vol
unteered and were accepted in Arch
angel, into the new Russian battal-
ions formed here to fight with the
allies. Some of these men were sin
cere volunteers and are doing splen-
did work at the front. A few others,
however, became ringleaders of boil
shevik propaganda plots aimed to
destroy the fighting morale Of their
comrades.
Also, In the territory near the
front, which consists for the most
part of forests, bolsheviki have been
able to come through our lines dis
guised as peasants.
It is tribute to the allied and
Russia intelligence service that the
work OF these agents has been, fol
the most part, nipped In the bud.

ONLY PROLONGED DELAY By
BOCHE DELEGATES WILL PRE-
VENT SUCH PROCEDURE
CUT AND DRIED FOR GERMANS
They VIII Be Told What Is Expected
OF Them and VIII BE shown the
Dotted Line

Paris, Apr. 16.-Now that the Ger
mans have been invited to Versailles
on April %. the indications are that
the proceedings may move with such
dispatch that President Wilson can
remain for the signing of the treaty
and thus be able to take back the
completed document
This was the view Of the presi-
dents intimates today when their at
tention was called to the reports in
French papers that his departure had
been fixed for April 2S. It was de-
clared that no such intention had
been formed and that the progress
on the main questions now gave
promise that the president would not
only attend the opening Of the con-
gress at Versailles. but would re-
main long enough to see its work
carried through. Prolonged delay
by enemy delegates would, Of course,
prevent such action.
Precise details OF what is to be
done on the arrival OF the German
delegates are being worked out. Pre-
liminary to their arrival, 'pienary
session Of the peace conference is to
be held at the foreign office for de-
termination of the final course to
be pursued by the allies before en-
tering into relations with the Ger
man plenipotentiaries.
. Whether the treaty and covenant
win both be presented has not yet
been decided, but it is probable that
the treaty portion of the document
will not be made public until after
its delivery to the Germans.
The procedure with the enemy
plenipotentiaries also is receiving at
tention. One plan under considera-
tion is for the council of four to
hold the first meeting with the Ger
mans and deliver the document.
This would not be public session
and its main purpose would be to ar
range effective disposal of the bus
mess without prolonged discussion.
An alternative plan is for the en-
tire membership of the peace con-
ference to proceed to Versailles for
a formal lssession. at which the treaty
would tbe delivered. President Will
son, E. M. House, the members Of
the council and officers of the pro-
tocol are working out these details.
Premier Clemenceau on Sunday
and President wilsonlast night gave
out statements showing the progress
realized and voicing their first Of
fetal assurance that the end was in
sight. 1t ds noted that the Clemen-
ceau and Wilson statements were
very general, lacking specific details.

81 per cent has been collected and
the remainder is still coming in. The
amount collected in this division was
S4,000.000, and the number of paid
up members, exclusive of the Juniors
750,S6S. The records in Washing
ton showed last November more

sion in the United States. When the
armistice was signed the women OF
the division had made articles valued
at $S.1S for every hundred popula-
ton Of the whole division, and this
was the highest value OF finished ar
ticles per 1000 people Of any divi-
sion. During 1918 the supplies ship
ped through port warehouses to

This is exclusive of the large guam
titles shipped by rail to the east or

This immense quantity of work was
shipped overseas without cost
throught the courtesy of the U. S.

and faithfulness of the workers of
