WASHINGTON. Sept. - public
oDinion is the only remedy which can
be applied to the advance In food
prices. This is the conclusion really
held by Secy. Redheld of the depart
ment of commerce. Redheld is pre-
pared 10 cooperate with all the other
departments and officials in applying
legal remedies, If there are any, 10
check the higher price movement. he
is convinced, however, that there is a
legitimate or at least an irresistible
economic law which will boost prices
whether statutes like il or not. Secy.
Redfield is willing to call the acVance
speculative, possible, but not neces-
sarilv artificial, or the result of con-
spiracy in restraint of trade. The man
who sees a future demand ana hoids
his product 10 market it at the largest
margin of profit in the future may be
a speculator. but Mr.. Redheld'S bust
ness. experience has taught him 10 be
lfeVe that such a man is "A successful
business man. Accordingly. the secre-
tary of comerce dares to suggest that
the war abroad mean larger con-
sumption of food products and larger
demand in the future for our food
products. accentuated by shortage
of crop abroad and by the destruc-
tiVeness of armies in the field.
The mere fact that there are at the
present time no ships to carry food
products abroad and therefore food
products are in larger volume in the
United States and must be for many
weeks now, more than at any prev
iOus time does not lead SecY. Red
field to conclude that there ought to
be necessarily a slump in prices of
these commodities. on the contrary,
the secretary expects the demand to
be so strong that oversee transit will
soon be reStores In fact. he is pre-
pared TO assume that going
freights will be carried even at great
risk because the products must be
had on the other side and If Great
Britain does ..ot efeCtually clear the
lanes of Atlantic travel nevertheless
ships of every variety will 90 into the
business of blockade running. Heavy
risks will he insur~r by purchasers OF
cargos and while some ships may be
captured as prizes. a great majority
will get by and land their cargoes.
Thus the secretary is prepared 10
predict a market for grains. meats
and even southern cotton in Great
Britain. France. and possibly even in
Germany. for when cotton gets 10
Europe it will find its way in round
about channels to the mills in Austria
and Germany. The secretary of com
merce is convinced that the United
States is scheduled for an era Of high
prices. The United states consumer
must help pay the freight in this war

ures. which is always 10 the advant-

way OF preserving American neutrality
are disappearing. New ones arise. but
the firm resolve OF the government 10
avoid all complications. to steer a
straight course and treat all the war
ring nations fairly is being carried
out.
The United States has neither
friends To favor nor enemies to
punish All of the nations involved in
the European war are friendly 10 the
United States and the United States is
friendly to all. That is proud thing
TO say. IL can be said by few other
nations. particularly at this time. and
rarely by any The United states has
no entangling alliances. except those
assumed through the operation Of the
Monroe doctrine Ii has no jealous

Writing The News
By Fred c. Kelly

William AthertOn Du Puy is "A
Washington writer noted among his
acquaintance for the wide variety of
his information. But there was a
time in Du Puys life when he had a
great deal less knowledge of things
than he has today-and this is par
ucularly true in regard to aquatics.
He was raised on the desert out Ari-
IONA way, and up TO the time he
went into New York newspaper Of
hce some years ago, to ask for a Job
he had never seen large body of
water or any kind of water craft
not even a row boat
Du Puy had been tipped off, how
ever. that il is unwise to expose ones
ignorance when trying to land a job
II you get chance" a friend
told him, and the man sends you
out anywhere. don't stop to ask him
how To get there. Just act as If YOU
know all about it,"
The city editor explained that his
staff was filled and that there was
nothing doing. Du Puy was slowly
and sadly single footing toward the
door when the city editor got a tele-
phone message about a reporter be-
Ing ill., and he called Du Puy back
DO you suppose you could write
the account of the yacht races at
Sheepshead bay?" the man asked.
Il don't know why | couldn't" re-
piled Du Puy with gay nonchalance.
We'll, then, get right out there.
directed the city editor. Our man
who was assigned 10 that has been
taken sick You'll have TO hurry"
And as he snapped his watch shut he
returned To the papers on his desk
So without asking further ques-
tons, Du Puy went down the eleva-
tor TO go 10 Sheepshead bay.
Now there were a few little items
that he did not just know about the
yacht races at Sheepshead bay. He
wondered. for one thing what state
OF the Union Sheepshead bay might
ne in. Was il near New York or was
he TO take a train and ride for day
or SO To reach the scene in time2 And
what was yacht anyhow? Was il
a big boat like "A battleship or was
it-ah. maybe the race was between
two college crews, He had heard OF
college boat races
The first thing. though. was 10 learn
how 10 reach Sheepshead bay. Du
Puy learned that il was done by means
OF a series OF elevated lines That may
sound simple and trivial enough unless
you pause 20 consider that he had
never vet ridden on an elevated line
and didn't know what people were
talking about when they told him to
take an Il" train. He actually Won
dered IL il could be a further abbrevi-
alton OF l.. \ Y
At last. though. he found himself on
a sad-eyed little wharf that jutted out
into the waters Of Sheepshead hay II

watched with interest after the vot-

want TO know whether the disrup-
ton of two years ago really had in

and the other was "marlinspike'. He
was afraid to use either one of this
scant store of expressions lest he get
il into "A wrong place. Thus he was
little better off than a man who knew
no nautical terms at all.
What kind of a showing do YOU
think the Kitty will make?" asked
the motor boatist, eagerly.
Pretty hard to tell-On a day like
this" replied Du Puy. chewing an in
expensive cigar with look of much
eruditiOn; u should hesitate to make
"A prophecy"
That's the way I've fel, agreed
the host, battered. You simply can't
tell thing about it."
Thus their talk ran on and all
might have Been we'll. hut without
warning the motor boat ceased its
chug-chugging.
The man worked at the engine for
long time without finding any pulse
or respiration. II seemed quite dead.
"Wel. unless somebody comes along
and picks US up Wen have TO use
these" said the proprietor, glancing
up at long pair of oars he had
strapped to the top Of the little boat.
Du Plly doubtless had seen pictures
Of men rowing. but if he had he did
not recall it just then. He looked at
the oars and the strange implements
filled him with such curiosity that he
forgot to he on his guard against
asking foolish questions.
With his blue eyes full Of innocent
childish wonder. the supposed nauti-
cal savant looked his host i'm the eye,
ierked his thumb in the direction Of
the oars and inquired
What are they fOr?"
