BILLS FOR FOOD CONTROL IN Measures Introduced to Stop Hoard­ ing and Bring Fair Distribution-** Great Powers Given. x Washington, May 2.--Administra­ tion food bills were introduced on Monday in congress--in the house by Chairman Lever of the agriculture committee and in the senate by Chair­ man Gore of the agriculture commit­ tee. They do not cover price fixing or control of the use of grains for dis­ tilling liquors. These subjects will be covered In a bill tq be introduced later. The proposed bill will confer plen­ ary power on the president, on sugges­ tion of the council of national defense, to handle the situation more adequate­ ly, including the fixing of prioes, both minimum and maximum; to prescribe national prohibition in the president's discretion; regulate transportation of food products and deal with produce exchanges and boards of trade to pre­ vent undue speculation. The bills are designed to stimulate production, prevent hoarding, make for equitable distribution and suspend the law prohibiting the mixing of flour. They contain provisions to prevent con­ flict with the antitrust and interstate commerce laws. The Lever bill appropriates $25,000,- 000 for the measure's enforcement and authorizes the appointment of two ad­ ditional assistant secretaries of agri­ culture to administer It. Agents of the secretary of agricul­ ture could "enter during business hours any place except a dwelling house" to inspect books or papers.

Captain of Mongolia Tells of the De­ struction of Enemy Craft Off England. London, April 27.--Captain Rice of the American steamship Mongolia, which has arrived at a British port, said that the Mongolia had fired the first shot of the war for the United States and sunk a German sub­ marine. The submarine, Captafn Rice said, \tfas about to attack the great liner In British waters on April 19. He de­ clared there was no doubt that the U-boat was hit and thut there wus every reason to believe it was de­ stroyed. The naval gunners on board made a clean hit at 1,000 yards. The periscope was seen to be shattered. "There was a haze over the sea at the time," said Captain Rice. "We had just taken a sounding, for we were getting near shallow wuter, and we were looking at the lead when the first mate cried: There's a submarine off the port bow/ "The submarine was close to us, too close, in fact, for her purimses, and shp was submerged again in order to maneuver into a better position for tor­ pedoing us when we sighted her. We saw the periscope go down and the swirl of the water. I quickly ordered a. man at the wheel to pull it to star­ board, and we swung the nose of the ship toward the spot where the sub­ marine had been seen. We were go­ ing at full speed ahead, and two min­ utes after we first sighted the U-boat It emerged again about 1,000 yards off. Its intention probably had been to catch us broadside on, but when it appeared we had the stern gun trained full on it. "The lieutenant gave the command and the big gun boomed. We saw the periscope shattered and the shell and the submarine disappeared. "I can't speak too highly of the cool manner in which the lieutenant han­ dled his crew or the efficiency of American naval men." BRITISH NAVAL COMMANDER GIVES SECRETS TO THE U. ft.

De Chair, the vet­ eran naval officer of Great Britain's war commission to the United States, gave a group of Washington newspa­ per correspondents a first-hand story of some of his experiences during the two years he commanded a patrol fleet chasing German submarines.

JOFFRE MAKES PLEA HUES PUSH AHEAD FRANCE Nils HOPES ON AMERI. CAN TROOPS, AVERS HERO OF THE MARNE. - MOVE FEARED BY GERMANS Marshal Pays High Tribute to Thil Nation's Valor and to Great Britain's --Is Moved by Welcome He Receive* Here. Washington, May 1.--"France, which has long recognized the valor, of the American soldier, cherishes the confident hope that the llag of the United States will soon be unfurled on our firing line." Marshal Joffre, the hero of tho Marne, made this statement on Sunday to a group of newspaper men in an in­ terview granted at the temporary home of the French mission here. Marshal J off re's address was sent to the state department to be passed upon by the censors. The text as given out there follows: "The very cordial welcome given me by the city of Washington and ^he expressions of sympathy which reached me from states and cities throughout the United States have moved me deep­ ly, since they are a homage paid to the whole French army, which 'I rep­ resent here. "The heroism and resolution of the soldiers of France indeed deserve all the affection the United States has shown them. After having, in a su­ preme effort, defeated and thrown back a barbarous enemy, the French army ha« untiringly labored to increase and perfect its efficiency. And now in the third year of the war it Is attacking the enemy with greater vigor and ma­ terial force than ever before. "Side by side with it and animated by no less heroic spirits stands the British army, whose formation and de­ velopment will ever remain the ad­ miration of the world. "The Germans have realized its won­ derful growth. Every encounter has made them feel the increasing menace of its strength. The contempt they pretended to fDel for it in the early days of the war has gradually become a dread more openly avowed each day. "Led by its illustrious president, the United States has entered Into this war. By the side of France in the de­ fense of the Ideals of mankind the place of America is marked. "France, which has long recognized the valor of the American soldier, cherishes the confident hope that the flag of the United States will soon be unfurled on our fighting line." ^his is what Germany dreads. "France and America will dee with pride and Joy the day when their sons are once more fighting shoulder to shoulder in the defense of liberty. "The victories which they will cer­ tainly win will hasten the end of the war, and will tighten the links of af­ fection and esteem which have ever united France and the United States."

Chicago, May 1.--The federal de­ partment of justice will officially sum­ mon Mayor Thompson to answer for his utterances regarding the proposed visit of Field Marshal Joffre to Chi­ cago. District Attorney „Clyne, It was an­ nounced, probably will act on com- plaiiits made by a number of promi­ nent citizens. The chief point to be considered, according to Mr. Fleming, is whether the mayor shall be charged with "giv­ ing aid and comfort to the enemy" or with "seeking to interfere with the poverninent in its plans to defeat the enemy." "The constitution of the United States defines treason as 'giving aid and comfort to the enemy,'" Mr. Fleming said. ^ ~ \ CHICAGO BAKERS ON STRIKE City Faces Big Shortage When Bread Supply Is Cut Off--Government Ready to Act.

And there were many of great riches who saw him daily and merchants laden with silks and spices and fresh eggs and potatoes going their way to the city markets to barter, but they gave him little heed and few alms. , Cometh a day when a aft dame paused to give him her pity, to spend a moment and pay him her regards, but to give him of coins and of pieces of gold not %ny. And she inquired of him, saying, IfO, thou art in rags and fhe "blight of sloth is upon thee. Thou takest little pains with thy personal appearance and thou art lasjy as no man was ever lazy be­ fore. Hast it ever been thus with thee or how didst thou come to such?
