(.-Government direction of the distribution of food gtuff s after the war until normal condi tions prevail in Europe will be contin ued under the department of agricul ture if congress approves the request of President Wilson to this end. The food administration will cease to exist with the signing of peace treaties. Presi dent Wilson now has a program of leg-: islation to be submitted to congress. Herbert Hoover, United States food administrator, has expressed his desire to be relieved of his duties as soon as possible. It is. considered certain that the machinery of the food administra tion will be turned over to the depart ment of agriculture. The efforts of the government will continue to bo directed at the maximum production of food in America and the practice of conserva tion so that tho greatost possiblo sup ply of foodstuffs be made available for shipment to Europe. Naturally, how evtr, with the expiration of food admin istration prices agreements with the farmers also will terminate unless con gress grants tho price fixing powors to tho government.' It has been said that after the war more urgent? appealg for patriotic action in food conservation must be urged inasmuch as thore i9 no efficient method of policing.

Policing Impossible. "When peace comes.'" said Hoover, "the natural inclinations will be to let down on conservation and it would be impossible to continue the present ef fective policing." . The department of agriculture, with its machinery for obtaining exact in formation regarding the activities of the farmers, will be able to intelligently advise the agricultural and animai pro ducers as to tho greatest food require ments and obtain their co-operation. B. M. Baruch, chairman of the war in dustries board, already has obtained the promise of congress to encourage and aifl new industries, intending to produce large quantities of low-priced fertili zers. Methods of producing potash from cemont and ag a bl-product of blast furnaces, have been discovered and they will bo developed soon after hostilities cease and labor is made available. 'The war industries board is also likely to be continued some time after the war, possibly, as a part of the de partment of commerce. ous commodities in which thero is a pos sibility of a shortage ' The war bureau chiefs are preparing legislation which soon will be laid be fore President Wilson for submission to congress, covering the work of transi tion from a war to a peace. basis.

The Germans are reported to havo attempted to draw in new conditions which they asked Foch to make public. , Tho enemy delegates asked permis sion to send wireless reports of the 'proceedings to their government and German high command. When Foch re plied that they must use tho French wireless, they changed their request to permission to use a courior. This was granted. The courier left for German headquartors at Spa and the German Command was notified by Fiench wire less of his coming. Is Making Willamette Valley and Salem Better Known Than Any Other Single Thing.

France, after the war, will expect to have help from the United States in the form of labor, money, material and ships. This was made plain by Andre Tardicu, French high commissioner and minister of Franco-American war affairs in the French cabinet. . ' Tardicu in an address to the associa tion of French correspondents said he hoped American troops would relieve the labor situation. He said that American technical units of other sol diers with their' equipment, would be able to help rcstoreylevastated France, while awaiting transportation home. Back to Peace Footing Washington, Nov. 9. Chairman Ba ruch of the war industries board is pre paring to gear American industries back to a peace footing as soon as as surance is received that hostilities are definitely declared at an end. He saye the same agencies that converted indus tries from a peace to a war footing will with equal facility place them back where thoy were, increased Sri size, ef ficiency and strength. Banich has given all manufacturers of war materials the assurance that they will bo protected against loss if contracts are cancelled. The priorities division of the board will recast its list of industries to jvhich steel and other war materials will be allotted. J. Leonard Bcplogle, steel adminis trator, has complete figures on pig iron and- steel production and can determine exactly how much- steel will be avail able with the discontinuance of the mu nition program. This is equally true of the hides and leather section, wool, cot ton, lumber, minerals and other divis-j ions of the board in control of the vari- HUNS RETREAT YET MORE ' By Webb Miller ; With tho Americans in France, Nov. 9. -(12:30 p. m.) The Americans re sumed their advance east of the Mouse today, both north and Bouth of Dam villers, despite a heavy rain. They are pressing close uport the retreating ene my and are meeting strong machine gun. resistance from the German rear guards. The Germans are reported to have bo gun a now ,Tetrcat northeast of 'Verdun, fleeing toward Bncy (the center of tne great French iron basin, 20 miles north' east of Verdun and Is -miles northwest of Metz.) Between Wadclincourt (a mile north of Sedan) and the Woevre forest there was great artillery and. machine gun activity throughout tne mgnt. COiffLETTE RETURNS (Continued from, page one) ACCEPTANCE. OF Continued frost page one) .." reign of power and to which substantial republican opposition has been made These senators are practically all pub- lie-ownership men and when the ques tion of continuing federal control of railroads, - telegraphs and telephones conies up, they may be counted on to oppose the "regular" republicans and vote with those who want temporary government control converted into per manent government ownership and op eration. It is 011 sew reconstruction measures, however that the progres sives will "get their opportunity to wield tho greatest influence. They can boat any measure by filibustering against it. Thpy can put hrough a legislative law, because both democrats and republicans will be eager to please them to keep their support. ' Kcnyon '1 resolution for a commission to recommend a budget system is one measure which has been held up, which now probably wil go through. tive reply the only one Germany can give- to cscapo complete ruin. A Bavaria is reported to. have laid the foundation forn republic; new prcssuio is reported omthe kaiser to abdicate, the 'Kiel disturbances spell a condition which surprised even tho most hopeful prophets of a revolution. The report that Prince Max had stepped down as chancellor but that hlB resignation had not yet boon accepted was takon as another straw showing the way of tho wind. If it is true, it is another evidence that the Gorman is constantly growing less sympathetic with autocracy and its helpers. Reports that, the kaiser would quit are still taken reservedly, though the ' govern inent feels certain that his tenure of office is about closed, regardless of how the armistice goes. German wireless reports sny ho has refused for tho mo ment at least, the demand of the Gor man socialists that he abdicate. Fear of revolution in Germany is given as his reason for remaining. No calculation, takes into - account tho possibility of a rejection of ' the terms, except the plans of the war de partment. These are proceeding solely on the one known fact; namely, hostilities are proceeding and will proceed indefinite ly h8 far as the war chiefs know. However, tho different divisions are carefully studying data so as to bo pro pared for any shift in war plans." Th draft office is giving thought to the futuro of tho man power situation should tho armistice come soon. Marshal Foch has discretionary pow ers to make minor changes in detail of the armistice terms, the state depart ment revealed today. It wa8 statud, however, that this pow er extended Only to such matters n minor ehanges of wording. Tho general broad principles, it was declared, aro flexible. Further it is un derstood that the German reply must be a complete- acceptance or rejection and it is held that any changes. of do tnils Foch might make would not alter the main problem of German surrender. The state department received a copy of the armistice terms, but is not disposed to make them public in ad vance of the German decision. ' Officials today stated that whilo it wan possiblo there might be new. of th aimistice coming throuhg today it was not expected until tomorrow or Mon day. KAISER QUITS Continued, from page one) subordinated Torjyflijng else within his ambitions. tr . In 1871 Germany had ro navy or merchant marine. It was through the kaiser' demands that both were raised to second place among tne nations. It wag the same with the German army. The vast Ger: man military machine was actually the child of tho kaiser's ambition, a Because, ho taught and practiced the theory that only- through military and naval supremacy could Germany vwive at a "placft in .the sun," tho kaiser became known as the war lord. Although ho forced out Bismnrk, the "ironchancellor," the emperor follow ed Bisinavk's teaching that only by the "mailed fist" could Germany livo and grow. His oft-repeated instance he ruled by divine right, aided him in carrying out his policies. It tendod to make his subjects, both ligh and low, more subservient to his demands and whims. As tho German empiro rew from a population of 47,000,000 to 67, 000,000 and to a place in the commer cial world surpassing in some lines ev en Great Britain,' his influence and power increased. - . Tho kaiser was born January 27, 1859. In saving his mother's lif 0 when he was born the main nerves of his left arm were so strained that tho arm became shriveled and has hung useles ever since. Sime childhood he has had to use a specially made fork with a heavy edge that served as a knife as well. . . One reason for his well known dis like tor his mdther, who was a daugh ter of Queen, Victoria of England, was luiil to this operation, which resulted in tho lom of tho use of h s arm. The kaiser was the ninth monarch of the house of Hoohcnzollern. Ho was tho third of that family to guido the destinies of tho German empire. He married Princess Augusta Victoria, daughter of the Duke of Auguntenburg in 1881 . He was crowned king of Prus sia and emperor of Germany June 5, 1888. Tho crown prince, Friedrich Wilhclm, was born May 6, 1882, He was mar ried to Duchess C'ecilie of Mecklen burg Bchworin. The crown prince aspired to become one of the great military leaders of history, His efforts were all dismal failures, he being charged particularly with thi bloody and fruitless effort to leduce the. Verdun fortress and the failure of the scries of German ofen sives which began in March this year. New York, Nov. 9.

Field Marshal Hindenburg has de cided to resign in event tho kaiser ab dicates. - All railway communication to Berlin has been stopped. All railrouds in the neighborhood of Berlin nre being guarded by military authorities. A strong patrol is station ed in tho streets of tho city day and night- .
