The Navy Department is busy out
fitting the battleship squadron for its
long trip to the Pacific and is up
against the problem Of increase in the
price of foodstuffs. There will be
about 6,000,0 900 pounds Of eatables and
drinkables needed by the fleet for the
voyage, II is not necessary TO go into
details as to just what this immense
store consists OF, though the principal
item is fresh meat. Buying in such
immense quantities, the Navy Depart
ment Is able to get Of course the very
bottom prices and the more so that
the furnishings of the supplies is a
matter of competition. But 1t has
been found that the general Increase
in prices has effected even these i'm.
mense purchases. All the staple ar.
ticles OF food and drink that have to
be bought are materially higher than
the department has ever had {" pay
FOR them before Even on the Nedt
bought In such varieties there was
general advance of a cent a pound.
This indicates the general price situa-
ton and shows why the householder

Quantities, has IT. pay such a heavy
increase The officers of the fleet
feel the added cost OF Quitting even
more than the Government. The ma

Washington, d. c., Oct. 1.-THE
arst meeting of the head officers OF
the Republican National Committee
vas held in Washington last week. 1t
COS an informal meeting of Harry S.
New and Elmer Dover, president and
.ecretary. respectively, of the commit
zoe. They have selected headquarters
.,r the committee in one OF the big
,.Bce buildings and the prospect is
that the committee will be regularly
,rqanized about the time that Con-
,re,s gets together. There are so
many Presidential possibilities and
uear-possbilities in the field that any
move of the committee heads Is natur'
,,ly watched with the keenest interest,
President Roosevelt is not only the
,ominal but the very real head
# the party and there was some
comment that the work OF the
committee should have been inaugu-
-ated while he was away from
Washington. But both Dover and
New are two of his young men and
close personal friends. They had a
thorough understanding with him be-
fore he went away and 1t is safe as
sumption that whatever Is done will
be thoroughly in accordance with the
Presidents wishes. Some Of the OPP
ponents of the Taft candidacy are in
clined to take the preliminary action
of the committee as a slight upon his
position in the party councils, but
this is not the case, and 1t Is general
ly expected that the committee will
take action for Taft reception on his
return that will be a striking testi'
monial to the Secretary of War
