F000 LEGISLATION WILL6E RUSHED Instructs Hoover to Immediately Organize for Food Conservation. Washington. Congress' delay iu passing the administration's rood bills drew from President Wilson an order directing Herbert C. Hoover to pro- cecd Immediately with organisation of "- "" dminiatratlon insofar aa it contemplate food conservation na ""-nation of waste through the cooperation or volunteer forces. "While It would In many ways be desirable to await complete legisla tion establishing the food administra tion," the president wrote, "it appear to me that ao far as volunteer effort can be assembled we should wait no longer." Plana for enlisting every housewife In the country as a volunteer mem ber or the rood administration have been announced by Mr. Hoover, who plans to reach the women through the state defense councils and through cn for her family, President Wilson's insistence that the food bills be speeded up caused the senate to put the food control bill next on the calendar and taken up Monday whon the house also began debate on the bill The measure was reported to the senate without recom mendation. Food speculators have been tak ing 150,000,000 a month for the last months total or a quarter of a bil,,on dollar from the American Herb?r ,Cl H.OVer t0,d ,eD: ttora to wplalulni tha purpose ot we iuua control bill now before con gress. Mr. Hoover. President Wilson's rood administrator, went to the capl tol by invitation In explain personally to senator the government' rood con trol bill. Opposition to the bill in the senate Is determined and it Is reared that uless this can be overcome the measure will not toe enacted byJu!y 1, a urged by President Wilson. It la confidently believed that the bill will go through the bouse by the end of the week. LIBERTY LOAN IS OVERSUBSCRIBED Washington. Secretary McAdoo an nounced that no part of the great over subscription to the liberty loan would be accepted, and that his statement or May 10. in which he declared that the Issue would be limited to $2,000, 000,000 stood good. Mr. McAdoo's announcement will result in paring down hundreds of the larger subscriptions until the total reaches the 12.000,000,000 limit - Tbe American people responded to the government's call for funds to fi nance the war with an over-subscription to the 12,000,000.000 liberty loan of proportions so huge that officials were buried beneath a landslide of returns. In the country's ringlug an- awer to the call, the dominant note wa the voice of the small investor, The hope for a widespread response of the average man with the average Income was more than reallxed. The subscrlntions. it is believed, will reach the total or $2,862,800,000. WAR BUDGET SIGNED Approprlatea $3,340,000,000, the Great est Sum Ever Voted at On Time. Washington. The $3.3IO.000,O0O war budget, long delayed by congress on technicalities, became law when President Wilson affixed his signature to the measure. The war budget known as the ur gent deficiency bill, appropriates the greatest sum ever voted In a lump by any legislative body. Its appropria tions total a sum far greater than th total cost ot any war in which the United States has heretofore engaged. The principal appropriations are for putting the army and navy In fighting trim. The most important single provl- alon ot the measure is the appropria tion of 8750.000,000 for the construc tion of an American merchant marine to carry food and munitiona to the entente allies. The delay in making this money available threatened tor a time seriously to delay the building ot tha "food fleet" under the direction of General Goethals aud the shipping board.

To meet the situa tion created by congressional delay in passing food legislation the ad ministration demands. President Wil son will appoint a board ot export control, to have drastic authority over American exports-particularly export or food. The purpose ot the new board will he to formulate regulations for and 8've ivice to the licensing bureau authorized in the recently enacted export license bill. The licensing bill is designed to prevent exports to European neutrals from reaching the central powers. Withholding by congress of the au thority contained In the Lever-Chamberlain food bill has left the federal government unable to cope with the food situation aud neutrals now are reported to have bought up enormous quantities ot grain. Unless someway is found to prevent this grain from leaving the couutry the allies and the United States both would be ser iously handicapped in a vigorous prosecution of tha war.

Co-operation with the department ot agriculture in impres- " "Vl vt the country the necessity for the "largest possible production of food and the smallest possible quantity ot waste" was urged by Herbert C.
