honor of llnrliert C. Hoover, the
American food udinliilHlrutnr, Victor
Uorot, French mlnlKter or orovlHloiiH
and Dr. Silvio Cronpl, Ituliiui food
minister.
J. B. Clynea, the Ilritlsh food con
troller who presided, said that owing
to nsslstiinro from the United Slates,
liacon and ham hereafter would he
sold wllhout coupons. He referred
to Mr. Iloovor as a man who "could
deliver tho goods."
l'romler Lloyd George puld a grow
Ing trilmlo to jMr. Hoover. Ho said
that thru him America had achloved
a great triumph In securing a large
number of people In Kurope from
want and starvation. There was now
no feur whatever, he declured, thut
4 he allies would be starved.
Skeleton nt Fiwt
After comparing Creat Britain's
abundance of food with (iermany's
scarcity, Premier Lloyd George sulci
ho regretted the necessity for bring
ing In a warning as u skeleton at the
feast. It was not altogether u ques
tion of food. It was a question of
tonnage. America was sending hun
Ireds of thousands of men monthly.
St was a great and valiant army
which already bad appeared In great
numbers on the battlefield and had
added fresh laurels to those crowning
the brow of the American ropubllc.
More were coming and next year It
would be a gigantic army and it was
n question of bringing supplies for
that army.
This would absorb more tonnage
than carrying the men themselves.
lAmorlcu was building ships at a
roat rate and hdr program was a
treat succoss. Great Britain also was
building ns fast as Bhe could, but In
addition to building she had to keep
Iter gigantic fleet repaired and most
of the repairs to American ships;
must be done In Great Brlluln. Con
Isequontly (hero was a limit to tho
number of ships which could bo turn
ed out.
While tho number of Bhlps was In
creasing cnoriuously, the premier
contluued, , tho domuud on shipping
was greater und tha essential need of
economy In food and every oilier
commodity must be kept firmly In
mind.

"Wo are learning many things in
this war. When It began wo were

"Krom Iho common struggle and
rommon sacrifice no shall have a
common triumph ami a common
flirolherhood, w hich will lie tho surest
Ktiuruntee of peace on earth and good
will among men of nil races, creeds
und nationalities to the end of time."
Mr. Hoover said that tho only
problem now was that of ships and
that that problem had been helped
(trendy by tho solution of the food
problem, adding:
"I nm happy to say that food sup
plies are assured for tho period or
the wur and I do not lliluk It neces
sary to estimate for more than-two
years hence. In less than two years
the result will bo victory."

THEFT OF BEEF
FROM U. S. ARMY
NBW YORK, July 20. Twenty
ono persons were indicted here today
by tho tedcral grand Jury on a charge
of being Implicated in the theft of
beef consigned to the United States
army.
Tho defendants who include Butch
ers, purchasing agents, government
checkers and truck drivers, are ac
cused of violating the United States
criminal statute which has to do with
conspiracies to embezzle and dispose
of government property without
authority.
All of the defendants except one
have been arrested and they were
held in ball of from 1 1000 to (10,000
each.
According to K. Paul Yaselll, as
sistant United States attorney, the
plan of operation was for checkers
to tell foremen at the delivery dcpVs
to give receipts to drivers for a smal
ler amount than had been loaded
upon their trluks. The surplus beef,
it is charged, thus withheld from the
government, wus bought by the ac
cused butclierB who disposed of It at
a big profit.
PAHIS. July 26. A lluvas review
today says the newspapers bellove
that the moment when the Marne
pocket dug by tho Germans will bo so
reduced that the position will be In
tolerable is approaching nearer and
nearer.
LOOK AFTER PROPERTY
Chief of Police Illttson calls atten
tion to the carelessness of many
MedTord auto owners who leave their
cars stand all night on the Btrcet In
front of their homes or on business
streets, with new tires In the racks
and robes and' other valuable prop
erty on the seats.
For some time now under the
chief's instructions the night police
have been taking a record of the
numbers of nil such cars with a view
to making proper comment whenever
something has been stolen from a
enr and the owner comes wild-eyed
and indignant to the police station to
report his loss and comment on the
lack of vigilance by the police.
"Anyone who leaves his car stand
on the street all night unlocked, with
extra tires loose In the racks and
other valuuble stuff on the seat sim
ply tempts thieves," says Chief Illttson.

TO ASSIST CZECHS
LONDON', July 20. It Is announc
ed here officially that Japan has de
cided to accept the American propo
sal to assist the Czechc-Slovak armies
in Siberia.
WILSON DECRIES MOB SPIRIT.
(Continued From Page one.)
WASHINGTON, July 20. News
that an official announcement had
been made in London that Japan bad
decided to accept the proposal of the
United States to give military assis
tance to the Czecho-Slovak army In 1
Siberia did not alter the course of the
government In declining to reveal
the status of the negotiations. I
Variously published accounts of
tho negotiations were denounced as
speculative and as possibly giving In
formation to the enemy.
President Wilson's statement on
the subject has been drafted but will
not be Issued until all the details ,
have been closed.
The problem Involved in arranging
an International entente regarding
Siberia and Russia Is very complex. 1
The American proposal was of such
nature that it was not possible to
render a simply affirmative or nega
tive response. Therefore the Jap
anese government was under the ne
cessity of seeking further Informa-!
tion. This now is being imparted but
some time Is required for tho neces-J
sary diplomatic consultations.
However, It may be stated that the
entente, Japan and the United States
are fully agreed on the broad prin
ciple that assistance must be afford
ed the Czecho-Slovak forces In Si
beria, and that the exchanges now
going on relate to tho best means to
accomplish that end.
