THE

HOOVER NAMED FOOD ADMINISTRATOR OF U. S.

(Continli:d fuom iuip: one) tempts at speculation when they occur by fixing temporarily a reasonable price at which middlemen mut sell. "I have asked Mr. Herbert Hoover to undertake this all-important task of food administration. He has expressed his willingness to do to on condition that he is to receive no payment for his services and that the whole of the force under him. exclusive of clerical assistance, shall be employed so far as possible upon the same volunteer basis. He has expressed his confidence that this diflicult matter of food administration can be successfully accomplished through the voluntary co-operation and direction of legitimate distributors of foodstuffs, and with the help of the women of the country. Kx)Cx-tH Hearty Nuprt. "Although it is absolutely necessary that unquestionable powers phall be placed In Hoover's hands in order to insure the success of this administration of the food supplies of the country. I am conlident that the exercise of those powers will be necessary only in the few cases where some small and selfish minority prove unwilling- to put the nation's interest above personal advantage and that the whole country will heartily support Mr. Hoover's efforts by supplying the necessary volunteer agencies throughout the country for the control of food production and ."ecuring the co-operation of the most capable leaders of the very Interests most directly affected that the exercise of the powers given him will rest very successfully upon the good will and co-operation of the people themselves, and that the ordinary economic machinery of the country will be left substantially undisturbed. "The proposed food administration is intended of course only to meet a manifest emergency and to continue only while the war lasts. Since it will he composed for the most part of volunteers there need be no fear of the possibility of a pernrinent. bureaucracy arising out of it. All control of consumption will disappear when the emergency has passed. It is with that object in view that the administration considers it to be of pre-eminent importance that the existing associations of producers and distributors of foodstuffs should be mobilized and made use of on a volunteer basis. The successful conduct of the projected food administration by such means will be finest possible demonstration of the willingness, the ability and the efficiency of the democracy and of its justified reliance upon the freedom of individual initiative. The last thing" that any American could contemplate with equanimity would be the introduction of anything resembling Prussian autocracy into the food control in this country. "It is of vital interest and importance to every man who produces food and to every man who takes part in its distribution that these policies thus liberally administered should succeed and succeed altogether. It is only in that way that we can prove it to be absolutely unnecessary to resort to the rigorous and drastic measures which have proved to be necessary in some of the European countries." ARMY. NAVY AND MARINES TO BE IN WAR ZONE SOON (CoNTINCKD FROM PACK ONE) the secretary, "have Joined the corps during the past six weeks, many of them in the hope that the marines would be among the first to get into action. Marines Arc Heady. "The marines are well equipped and are ready for duty in France. Their recent service in Nicaragua. Santo Domingo, Haiti and Cuba has kept them in good trim, they are seasoned troops. and have been eager to go with the first forces sent to Furope. The regiment which will accompany the expedition to France will be armed. organized and equipped in the same manner as the regiments of the army with which ic will serve. The marines will serve is Infantry and will become for the ,"riod of this service a part of the niny under the command of Gen. Pershing." Col. Charles A. Doyen, who will command the marines, is now commandant of the marine barracks here, and is president of the marine corps examining and retiring board.

EXPLAINS EXEM Secretary Announces Department Will Consider Dependents at Least at First. WASHINGTON, May 13. "The war department desires at the outset to exempt from military t-ervice, as far as possible, all those having dependents." This will be the military policy of the government on conscription, according to a statement today by the council of national defence. The statement was made after consultation with Sec'y of War liaker, In answer to a question sub-,1 mitted to the council at the recent conference of governors. The council had been asked if the government would care for dependents of doctors and others sent abroad for service as civilians or attached to some branch of the service of the allies. The complete policy has not yet been formulated, the council replied. The war department realizes that all tho with dependents cannot "be exempted and accordingly has asked congress for an appropriation to take care of those left behind. Doctors will be ranked as army officers, the council explained, and the war department believes their pay will be sufficient to care for their dependents. Another question asked was, will the government assist in protecting property of military value, the council replied that such protection was considered the function of the states, but in cases where military aid was required of the government, such aid would be given. CIVIL SERVICE. TESTS FOR TYPISTS MODIFIED The United States civil service commission announces that it has modified the stenographers and typewriters' examination by omitting the "statement of simple accounts" in the subject of arithmetic, and by substituting "letter wrlttlng" for "report writing". This has been done to make the examinations easier for the applicants, becaus at the present time there is such a demand for stenographers and typewriters and many applicants experienced much difficulty with the old lerms. Examinations are being held twice a week at ihe post office. Kxaminatlons for technical men will also be held from now until the 19th of June. Thef examinations however, are mostly for college men and men that have had a pood experience along technical lines. Further Information in regard to this examination may be secured from F.
