Defense of Country

Certainly the country ought to be
defended" tho President wrote to the
attorney general, IF possible, against
men who would take advantage of
such circumstances to increase the
price of food and the difficulties of
living
Attorney General McReynolds at
once set at work the bureau of inves-
tigation Of the department of justice,
with hundreds of agents throughout
the country. Agents of the depart
ment of commerce also were started
on an inquiry and Secretary Redf1eld
conferred with Secretary Houston of
the department of agriculture.
Within a few hours from the time
the President acted, three of the ex-
ecutive departments of the government
were moving to learn the cause of the
soaring prices of food.
Some officials who believe the great
proportion of price increases have no
connection whatever with the Euro
pean war, but are the result of ma
nipulations, attempts are corners or in
dividual efforts of dealers contend that
the Conspiracy" section of the Sher-
man law covers the situation. Attor-
ney General McReynolds, however, will
give an opinion on that feature to the
President later.
Congressman who already have in
troduced resolutions to investigate the
rise in prices. and others who are pre-
pairing similar measures viewed the ac-
ton Of the administration with salts
faction. They pointed that while
flour particularly has taken a great
jump in price, wheat exports virtually
are paralyxed and millions of bushels
iax0 piled up in elevators or in freight
cars strung across the continent.
Eecretary Redfleld wrote Chairman
Adamison OF the House committee,
suggesting an appropriation of $4,000
for his part of the investigation.
II tho present temporary stoppage
OF trade with foreign countries is made
the basis for an attempt In this coun-
try to put UP prices artifically," said
tho secretary, 1T is unpatriotic-I may
say even damnable."
The food question was the first into
which President plunged when he went
back to his desk today after his return
from Rome, Ca, where he had buried

Doubles Today

The doubles matches will bep layed
tomorrow, Mclaughlin and Bundy
representing the United States against
Brookes and Wilding for the Austria
lasian cup challengers.
The games went with service until
the score stood 15-all when McLough-

service and won the next two games
and set. Both played faultless tennis.
1t was not until Brookes began to tire
that Mclaughlin was able to break
through and take his oponent's service
game which gave him the lead and
the chance to win the set on his own
service.
The score of games, 17-15, is a new

the first set. Mclaughlin began to put
his full strength into his drives and mix
