Boost in Food Prices May
Come Before Pres. Wilson
and His Cabinet Today

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-Artificial
initiation of food prices may come be-
fore President Wilson and his cabi-
net today The President had the
matter under considera ton, and
planned to discuss with Attorney
General McReynolds the results of
the national probe thus far obtained.
An announcement of importance on
the subject from the White House
was expected during the day.
Inquiries by federal grand juries,
under direction of local United
States attorneys is said to be the
plan favored by McReynolds. In this
way, department officials pointed out
today, delay would be obviated. In
vestigation of the cause of rising
prices and Indictment of persons
found criminally liable for conspir-
acy would be Joined.
Success of grand jury probes here
and in other cities is said to have
impressed McReynolds favorably
toward general grand jury. action,
both for the moral effect in the vari-
Gus communities, as well as actual
results which may be obtained by in
dictments.
Reports of rising prices continued
to pour into the department today.

ANTWERP, BELGIUMS NEW
CAPITAL, Is SECOND ONLY
TO PARIS AS A FORTRESS
from Brussels indicates Likelihood That First Great
Battle of War Is About to Be Fought-EngIand Esti-
mated to Have 100000 Soldiers in Belgium

ture from Paris for the front coin
cides with the announcement of the
successful landing of Great Britain's
expeditionary force.
Ten days have passed since mes
sage slipped by the French censor in
forming the world that some 10000
British troops had been landed on
Belgian and French coasts. British
mobilization plans are known to have
arranged for moving 10000 men day
to the continent. This means a maxi
mum of 100000 British soldiers are
now with the allies. The number may
be less than this maximum, but the
minimum ought not to be far below
100000
If tactics and strategy alone dictate
the disposition of the British troops,
they will be used as a field force and
not, as has been suggested, for garri-
son duty at Antwerp.
England is the only one of the allied
powers that maintains a professional
army. The rest of the European
countries, where CONSUMPTION is in
force, drill their soldiers continuously
for from fifteen months to three years
and then let them go. England's
standing army is THE only European
counterpart to the American regulars.
The British troops, trained for
fighting as profession, should be the
most formidable of all the soldiers in
the field. For this reason it seems in
conceivable that reports of their en-
ployment as a garrison force can be
true

Twilight Sleep Will Be
Employed by Prospective
Mothers, Says Physician

NEW YORK. Aug 1S.-AssuraHfe
of the success in America OF the Ger
man method of practically painless
childbirth, called Twilight Sleep.
which up to the present has produced
but Indifferent results in hospitals
here. is the message brought from
Europe by DR. John o. Poiak. OF the
Long Island College Hospital. who
arrived on the Celtic last Saturday.
DR.. Polak. who with DR.. Ruben
Peterson. of the Michigan Medical
College. made a study Of the -Twi-
light Sleep" treatment practiced at
the frauenklinik attached to the
University of Freiburg for the Amer
lean Gynaecological Club yesterday
described the improvements in the
German surgical discovery.
"On this my third trip to study the
twilight sleep as practiced by Doc
tors Kronig and Gauss at Freiburg,
said DR.. .Polak, Il learned that it has
hitherto not been a success in this
country because American surgeons
have not yet mastered all Of the TECH
nique used by the Germans.
1.-THE method is not suitable for
general practice nor should American

own homes.
II was pleased also at the Improves
ment of the German technique over
what had been attained IN 1912. At
that time injections of scopolamin
and morphine were used. while now
a combination of narkoscopoiamin Is
found to produce less excitement
This injection in varying proportions
according 10 the particular needs Of
each patien. has produced practically
perfect results"
DR.. Polak is of the opinion that
with the experiments now being made
in the Post Graduate Hospital Of the
New York Medical College. the
Lying-In Hospital of New York and
the Long Island College Hospital
American surgeons before very long
will be able to guarantee results az
uniformly successful as those at
tanned at Freiburg.

John DOlan, Wife=Mnrderer


TRENTON, Aug. 1S.-John Dolan.
the Newark wife murderer, will in
all probability have to pay the PEN
atty of death in the electric chair at
the State prison this week, as last
night Chancellor Walker refused
again TO grant the application OF
Frank McDermot for writ of
habeas corpus. On Saturday night
last, the chancellor refused TO grant
the application to prevent Dolan's
electrocution. Governor Fielder at
Sea Girt has also refused to grant a
stay.
Mr.. MeDermot made the trip from
Newark yesterday in the hope that he
might prevail upon the chancellor to
grant the writ. but for the second
time the application was turned down.
Dolan is in the prison hospital dy-
ing from tuberculosis. He is the only
convict that was ever taken from the
death house to the hospital in the
history of the prison.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Aug 49,
Preparations for the calling of a
national boycott on eggs, beef and
veal are under way, according to
Frank S. Krause. president of the
thirty cent egg club" today. He
declared that the move would force
prices downward within three days.
"The only way prices can be
brought down is to stop buying"
said Mr.. Krause "If every person in
the United States was to aid us in
our boycott, within two or three days
the prices on groceries would begin to
drop just as suddenly as they went
up" He has received many letters
urging a boycott, he says.
