May 2H. It will depend upon the I'nfted States whether there will f-e numerous repetitions of Fri day's aerial aasassinations of non combatants In KnKlifh viHapeH by German airmen. The frank: hope that the United States will soon send a large number of aeroplanes to KnK land. to flffht the German marauder? is expressed. Officials realize that Friday's raid had a distinct military purpose. Tho (SermHn scheme was undoubted! aimd to keep as many aeroplanes as possible at home for the defense of England thus weakening the British air strength at the front. It is emphatically made known that the Hrltish don't proposed to permit a lessening of their war strength. England has achieved the supremacy of the air and intends to keep It. however regretable may bii the consequences, through inadequate protection of the elvl! population at home. U. OF 0.

Herbert Hoover, America- food administrator, said. Hoover said the allies will require 600.000.0f(i bushels of wheat at next harvest. With this appeal the house and sen ate is working on the Uore-Lever food bill, providing for a general food survey and means or stimulating pro duction. Bread Fetish of Food. "With the lower classes in Europe, bread is fetish of rood,- Hoover warned. "Without the loaf, even as fcuming you give them a dietetic suf ficiency of something else. without the loaf they couldn't preserve public tranquility," Besides wheat. Hoover aa-ut Ue allies alaa required tv hun dred and fifty to three hundred and fifty million bushels of other cereals. The bulk of the bread burden i now with the United States because the allies' crops are snort millions of bushels; Hoover said. Al! former sources of cereals for the allies arw nw cut off. These original ly were Russia, Rumania, and Bulgaria. They must rely on India and the Argentine. Many Sources Cut Off. "Whole supply nf Russia. Bulgaria, and Rumania is absolutely cot off." Hoover said. "Australia and India are practically cut off because It Is three, times the distance of the Atlantic sea board, the tonnage required in treb led, and the danger about doubled. The result is the allies have been un able during the last three months to get a consequential amount of grain from that quarter. '"Whether that lane Is reopened I a question. Home measures are being taken to reopen it. and it may t hoped during the next year that some food suppl may he obtained from Australia and India by use of the sail ing ships." MM P-rotor Own People. Hoover w a rned t ha t In sup p I vi n C the "reat vacuum" across the Atlan tic "public tranquility here musn't b upset.' He said its the busino-wa of the nation to see that the allies shall no suck too much food from the I'nlted States. "We must protect ourselves fro m the allies tn order to protect our own people and at the same tfrne do .ill justice." he declared. SIMS IS PROMOTED.
