All the ' night delighted the largest crowd of important governments of the world with the exception of Argentina hav ing guaranteed wheat prices to the farmers and all the European govern ments having subsidized wheat, it seems that there will be little but government trading in wheat this year. The American members of the su preme economic council, however, be lieve there is no necessity of con tinuing centralized control of food prices. The question of food control af ter peace has been signed has been discussed by the economic council, Herbert Hoover and the other Am erican members opposing control, tak ing the view that as there will be no food shortage after the next harvest, food control, as it now exists, will be unnecessary. Mr. Hoover insists that trading in food should prevail throughout the world as in other commodities, or production will be stifled and a shortage created. PREMIUM US!

Berlin, Tuesday, June 3. There seems to be a widespread demand on the part of Germans that efforts be made to induce America to enter into a sort of limited alliance with Germany to take a sort of protecto rate over the country, giving Ger many financial aid and protection and taking in return the lion's share of the profits of the country's industrial activities. This settlement, which first made its appearance last Decem ber, appears to be gaining in popularity. Chautauqua week in a musical festi val which extended over a period of two hours and which engaged the en thusiastic attention of the audience from the opening note of the festival to the final blast of the brilliant pageant, "War, Victory and Peace." Practically every member of the au dience remained until the last cur tain and the program was received with great applause. Frequently Kryl and his musicians responded to encores. Another pleasing feature of the night's entertainment were several vocal selections by Mrs. H. J. Kne bal of Salisbury, an accomplished ar tist. Mrs. Knebal responded to sev eral encores and her singing during the intermission was a delight to the unusually large audience. Not only as a director did Kryl display remarkable genius, but as a cornetist he demonstrated his abil ity in unmistakable fashion. In "Fantasia on National Airs," a cor net solo composed by himself, Krvl was perhaps at his best and he was wildly acclaimed by the crowd. One By the Associated Press. Coblenz, Tuesday, June 3.
