JONES SCORES WAR DELAYS

WASHINGTON, March 27. Failure of government agencies to co-operate In the prosecution of the war was laid to President Wilson by Senator Jones of Washington, in a speech in the senate today in which he charged that the president had shown no disposition to seek the advice of congress on the great problems confronting the nation. "The president ought to co-ordinate himself and the sooner he doe3 it the sooner will governmental agencies be most effective." said Senator Jones. "Members of congress are ready and anxious to co-operate fully with the executive and the president should not only welcome, but seek their counsel and advice upon the great problems which confront him, but he does not do it, I do not say this in any captious spirit. It is the statement of a fact, a most lamentable fact known to all here and regretted by alL" Senator Jones asserted that it the president and congress co-operated as they should," a feeling of patriotic unity throughout the country that I fear is now lacking but which ought to exist would be created."

Britain Faces Problem of Replacing Loss of Men LONDON, March 27. Discussing means of replacing the losses of man power in France, the Daily Mail suggests It probably will be found necessary to Bhorten the period of training for recruits and to send to the front the younger classes at an earlier age than heretofore. Ail physically able Russian subjects in England, this newspaper says, are being called to the colors, the authorities having canceled the recent order which temporarily suspended the summoning of these men. The Daily Telegraph for the first time urges application of conscription to Ireland in order to replace recent losses. "The question of extending the operation of the military service act to Ireland must call for reconsideration by those who realize how magnificent has been the contribution of Irish regiments to our past success in this war and how priceless from every point of view would be a fuller participation of Irish manhood in the salvation of Europe," the Telegraph says. ' "In this hour Irishmen will be conscious, if they never were before, that it is that and nothing less, from which so many of them are standing aloof."

INDIANA WHEAT

Continued From Page One. purchase. Grain zone vice presidents have considerable information on this subject and will communicate with you any instances they know of in

your state. Also advise us of any in

stances where you actually requisition. It is our impression that you will not have to requisition very often, but will get sufficient response from direct orders to bring the grain in. A few instances of this kind will prob

ably establish voluntary marketing

without need of requisitioning. Harry E. Gilbert, Wayne county food administrator, was instructed Wednesday afternoon over the long distance telephone by Dr. Harry E. Barnard, state, food administrator, to order all farmers In this county to dispose of their wheat at once, empowering Mr. Gilbert to confiscate the product unless the order is obeyed within a period of tea days.

Many uayne county farmers are

said to have refused to- bring their whs.-it to market and arc holding it in storage, presumably in the hope that a higher price could be obtained at a Inter date. The Senate has been considering the advisability of fixing a price of $2.75 per bushel, but according to Dr. Darnard the matter has been dropped and the present market prices will continue to prevail. Face Flour Shortage. Several days ago a letter was re

ceived by Mr. Gilbert from the United States food administrator at Washington, asking that the patriotism of the farmers be appealed to, an dthat they be urged to dispose of their wheat at once. The country faces a serious flour shortage and the wheat is badly needed to facilitate the manufacture of the product. It is said that the appeal

met with no response on the part of

the farmers, and the present drastic action has become a necessity. '

It is said that many of the farmers

who are holding their wheat in storage

are ot doing so because they are un patriotic or seeking a higher price

The excuse is advanced that the men are busy on the farms and have not

found the time to bring their wheat to market. No Excuses Accepted Dr. Barnard said Wednesday afternoon that the matter of food conservation and consumption has been given so great an amount of publicity in the press that excuses -Mil no longer be

tolerated. He declared that many farmers have professed ignorance of the fact that the country is suffering from a wheat shortage, and says that it is the duty of every farmer to read the newspapers and familiarize himself with the present status of affairs. Mr. Gilbert said farmers. will be given ten days In Wayne county in which to get their wheat to market, and un-j less they comply with the order he

will immediately confiscate the product, have it hauled to the nearest elevator or mill and will then deduct the hauling costs from the purchase price. As a result of thi3 order it is expected that grain elevators throughout the county will soon have on hand several thousand bushels of wheat ready for the mills. One farmer in this county, it is said, has been holding 2,000 bushels of wheat in storage on his farm. WASHINGTON, March 27. The state food administrator will be encouraged by the food administration to requisition summarily any stocks of wheat actually being boarded. A general order to this effect has not yet been promulgated, but state administrators have been advised that they have authority to act.
