NO OCCASION TO FEAR IJELAY SAYS HOOVER There I no occasion for any farmer becoming panicky over the temporary delay in wheat movement and dispos ing ot his crop at less than govern ment prices, according to a telegram received yesterday by W, R. Ayer, food aumlnlBtrator for Oregon, from Her bert Hoover, federal food administra tor, Mr. Hoover, in his telegram, ex lain the delay In absorbing the wheat crop as due to an increased demand for supplies by General Pershing be cause of the rapid advance of the fighting lines.

Aa early response to President Wilson's not of Inquiry to the German Chancellor is expected by American officials. While realizing that an answer to the three pertinent questions put to the Prince ot Baden will be very dif ficult if the original proposal ot the German government was not sincere, officials ar confident that internal conditions in Germany and the tre mendous exigencies, of the military situation will force speedy action by the Chancellor if he hoi to prolong the existence of his Cabinet beyond a few days. So far as the hold of the govern ment on the people is concerned, con ditions in Austria areeven far worse than those in Germany. This fact is calculated to affect strongly the German government, which is understood to entertain grave doubts of the strength of purpose of the dual monarchy and to fear that Austria, or perhaps Hungary acting independently, will follow Bulgaria in seeking unconditional peace. This would leave Germany to wage the war alone, for it is a foregone conclusion that Turkey already Is lost to the central alliance. The pointed inquiry directed to Prince Maximilian as to whether he is speaking merely for the constituted authorities of the empire who have so far conducted the war will, it is be lioved, be very embarrassing. If the response is in the affirma tive, Germany's proposal will be re jected, as the President has already given notice that he will have no IN C0LL1S0N SIX IMS ARE LOST WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. Six men were lost when the steamship West Gate was sunk 500 miles oft the Am erican coast in collision with the steamship America,- the navy depart ment announced this afternoon.

She sailed from Portland on her maiden voyagei April 29, under com mand of Captain Alexander Watson, who formerly was a skipper in the service ot the American Wine comi pany, from New York to Portland. BILLION DOLLARS IS DECIDED ON FOR WASHINGTON. Oct. 9. Huge in creases in the artillery program have been decided on by the ordnance de partment, which today asked the house appropriations committee to add $1,100,000,000 to Its fstimates of $2,667,000,000 to carry out its part of the enlarged army program.
