By United Press.
Austin, April 26.—Texas wants sev-
en millions of the two hundred million
of treasury certificates placed on the
market by the national government.
Today the Senate adopted a resolution
authorizing the state treasurer to in-
vest state funds in the short-term cer-
tificates. State Treasurer Edwards in

profitable and patriotic.

By United Press.
The Hague, April 26.—Some Ger-
man newspapers editorially express
deep dissatisfaction because the Ger-
man government has failed to openly
and frankly announce its near aims.
The Tage Blatt declares it “deplor-
able.” “All declarations of the gov-
ernment regarding the war aims unin-
telligible, indistinct, artificial, and ca-
pable of many meanings,” it declares.

Washington, April 26.—That some
one within the next few months will
become food dictator for the world so
far as the Allies are concerned, is
clearly indicated by the developments
in the International War Conference
now being held. This same one will
probably be Herbert Hoover, who has
already had much experience in Eu-
rope, or Secretary of Labor Wilson.
The war council proceedings are crys
talizing into a monumental campaign
to feed the Allies. It is believed to be
certain that the food problem will be
left entirely in the hands of the Amer-
icans. This means that one man or
group of men, to be named by the
president, will absolutely dominate the
production and distribution of food in
the United States, England, France,
Russia, Italy, Cuba and other Allies.
It is probably that this step will in-
volve the formation of a food commis-
sion, comprising director general of
food for each nation with an Ameri-
can dictator as head of the whole com-
mission. - SUMMi

there was every reason to believe it
was destroyed.

clean hit at 1,000 yards. The peris-
cope was seen to be shattered.
