S. FLEET Volks Zeitung Discusses Possibility of American Warships Attempting ' to Attack Submarines In Their Home Bases Amsterdam, (via London), April 20. Will the American fleet enable our en emies to break our submarine block ade? The answer is, mostly certainly not," says the Koelnische Volksu Zei tung, which says "the submarine cure has not been invented. Therefore, it can not be invented because there is none." , The Volks Zeitung examines the pos sibility that the United - States will send a fleet to German .ports to attack the submarines in their home bases, and says that they will find Germany prepared. The newspaper then enters into technical details of American bat tleships for whose efficiency it shows respect, although it alleges certain minor faults. The newspaper can not understand the advantages of a trellis mast ' . The" number and size of the auxilia ries to the American navy, such as col liers, and oil ships, is admired by the Volks Zeitung but it says that the greatest American tactical mistake Js the lack of great battle cruisers- and also, of -fast "scouting cruisers, and en larges; on the. German superiority in these arms. The -article boastingly concludes: -"All inviajljr - if 'Qtyr high .seas fleet faee4inmcart''et;-'ih''-open -bat-tie, we" would beat them very quickly and, thoroughly. But- thisis unlikely because before that is possible our submarines with the mailed' fist, wiU have imposed a law of world peace on the enemy and also, on America." BRITISH DOCTORS CALLED . TO SEBVE IN WAR THEATERS Sinking: of Hospital Ships By Enemy Slakes Action Necessary London, April 20. The war cabinet decided today that every physician and surgeon and every man with mdJcal training of military age must be caU ed up for service immediately. In reference, to the calling up of the physicians and surgeons, the following official explanation is given: "The fjieray, in total, disregard of the accepted tenets of civilized war fare, has deliberately instituted a sub marine-campaign against hospital sh'ps and' it has, therefore, become effectual that a large number of ships should be established overseas in the various theatres of war for the treatment of sick and wounded. In order to allow this to " be done with great rapidity, it is essential-to secure the services of every doctor that , can possibly be spared from the United Kingdom.' RUMOR HAS IT THAT TWO ARGENTINE SHIPS ARE SUNK Ttnenos Aires. April 20. There is a persistent rumor here that the Argen tine sailing ship ortana nas Deen suns by a submarine in the Mediterranean. Confirmation or denial of the rumor is awaited with great eagerness. There is a report also that tne Argentine steamer Cirumalan, of 1,827 tons, has been sunk. No news of her arrival at port of destination has been, received so far.

April 20.- Representa tives xi shippers : from all over the country gave the Interstate Commerce Commission their views regarding the commission's tentative order . permit ting the railroads to file freight rate increases of 15 per cent effective June 1. Many of. the speakers favored an advance of some sort if the railroads could prove it necessary; some advocat ed an immediate Increase in rates on the ground that it would be cheaper to pay the ino-ease than to suffer loss es through lack of transportation equip ment, and others opposed any upward change.

IIUWWIUII IIUIIU FULL POWER FOR FOOD SUPERVISION Plan is to Have Agricultural De partment Direct Production i , and Distribution ' 1 WOULD MAKE FOOD SURVEY Authority is Sought for the De fense Council, in an Emer gency, to Fix Prices Washington, April' 20. The govern ment's program for food control dur ing the war was put before Congress today by Secretary Houston in a com munication to the Senate asking power! for the Department of Agriculture to take direct supervision of food pro duction and distribution in the United States and requesting a $25,000,000 ap propriation for putting the iplan into operation. '" Authority was . asked for the Coun cil of National 'Defense, in an emer gency, to buy and sell foodstuffs and to fix minimum or maximum prices. Would Survey Food Supply As outlined , to the Senate, the gov ernment's plan is first to make a com plete survey of the country's food sup ply to determine Its ownership and dis tribution, then If necessary to license and control the operations of aU con cerns engaged In the manufacture of food or feeds, agricultural empiements and all materials required for agricul tural purposes.; Authority is sought for the agricultural department to take over and operate -the concerns if It appears at any ! time that course is demanded by the public Interest. 1 Giving the government power to deal in foodstuffs probably would .make its application unnecessary, Secretary Houston declared, as its very . existence would tend to keep conditions normal. Market, grade 'sand classed for farm produc tsr-j. Secretary ostnr: saW;' is vim "I me cuiei iibwub oi mo vuumiy to Insure proper Conditions in produc ing and marketing farm products. Authority' also was asked .for the department to require of transportation companies, preference for the movement of farm machinery; seeds, fertilizers and materials that enter into the pro cesses of food production. ' -For Relieving Congestion The ' department wishes to allow its market service division to assist in obtaining re-routing of foodstuffs to relieve congestion on transportation lines. ', . In its plan for ah investigation of the present food" supply the agricul ture department has arranged for the help of the Federal Trade Commission, which, with the department, was di rected by President Wilson early in the year to make an inquiry to ascer tain the amount of food stocks and to determine If the anti-trust - laws have been violated in food production, st6rage and distribution. As soon as Congress makes the necessary appro priation for this specific inquiry the trade commission 'will proceed. Some officials believe the trade com mission has enough power to make un necessary the . use of " extreme legisla tion in regulating the control of food, although additional powers should be given for an emergency. Officials of all departments and divi sions of the government realize that the facts of the situation existing must- be learned before remedies - can be planned. Now, no one knows how much food there is in the country, and how it is distributed. - Prohibition Not' Yet Necessary ' Suggestions that the government is contemplating measures for national prohibition during the war as a means of increasing the food supply are met with the statement by officials that no early action in that direction is likely, as it is not considered necessary at this time. Secretary Houston al luded to it today in his letter to the Senate by a reference to European ac tion in restricting the manufacture or alcoholic liquors. He made no recom mendations, however, merely , pointing out that the . European governments have saved considerable food that way. Estimates, he 3aid, put the amount' of food made-' into liquor In the United States at about $145,000,000 worth an nually. ' '!'" Mr. Houston warned today against agricultural experiments in new areas and tests of new crops. The incerase of food, he said, must come about largely through Increased farm effici ency and on farms and ranges already in operation. The problem he defined as one. of more -'concentration of effort, not that of putting more land under cultivation. . ' TWO NEGROES MUST DIE " ..

Field Marshal von Hindenburg says he recognizes that the population has been hit hard by the regulation of the bread ration, but undoubtedly the increase in meat, and the regular delivery of pota toes will compensate therefor. While he is convinced that the authorities will see to the proper distribution of food stuffs, the field marshal said: "I am, therefore, quite unable to see how, the food situation can be made ground for strikes by the workers, while our present position on the west ern front, which must be fought out there, demands an undiminished pro duction of war supplies of all kinds, is the first task and takes precedence over all others... "Every strike, however small, may be the means of an. unjustifiable weak ening of our defensive force and is an inexcusable crime- against the fight ing forces, especially the men in the trenches who bleed in consequence." A Reuter dispatch from Amsterdam sa.ys that von Hindenburg concluded hiamessage by asking General Groener to see that all means be employed to continue the production and dispatch of arms and' munitions, and also to have the necessary explanation given the armament workers to that end which "in my opinion appears the principal condition for attaining our great aim."
