GOVERNMENT TO LOOK INTO
RISE or FOOD sTuEFs.

Washington. August 13.-President
Wilson today directed Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds to investigate recent
increases In rices OF food stuffs and to
take up the question whether any per-
sons responsible can be prosecuted.
The President sent the following let
ter to the Attorney General:
The rapid and unwarranted in
crease in the prices of foodstuffs in
this country upon the pretext of the
conditions existing in Europe is so
serious and vital matter that | take
the liberty of calling your attention
to it.
II would be very much Obliged If
you would advise me whether there is
under existing law any action which
the Department of Justice could take,
either by way OF investigation or legal
process, and what Federal legislation,
If any, would in your Judgment be JUS
tifiable and warrantable in the cir
cumstances
IL feel hat this is a matter which we
cannot let pass by without trying to
serve the country. Certainly the coun-
try ought to be defended, If possible.
against men who would take advantage
of such circumstances to increase the
price of food and the difficulties of low
ing. Faithfully yours,
WOODROW WILSON"
President is Impressed.
The President took up the question
of increasing prices the first thing to-
day and was impressed by the pres
sure of the situation. He at once de-
cided that legal action should be taken
If possible, and that If there were no
law covering the question new legisla-
ton should be passed.
Officials said the President consid-
cred that in many cases the increases
were wholly unjustifable. When he
returned from Mrs. Wilson's burial at
Rome, Ga, resolutions already had
been introduced In the House calling
on the Department of Jutice to report
what action they were taking. Presi-
dent Wilson's interest in the situation,
however. was wholly apart from that,
and he probably would have taken ac-
ton before had it not been for the
death in the White House.
Special agents of the Department of
Justice throughout the country and in
vestigators of the Department of Com
merce are available to collect evidence
for any action the Attorney Gencral
may think warranted. The Depart
ment of Labor also has a corps which
has become very expert in gathering
evidence of the increased cost of liv-
ing.

a view to nossihle criminal prosecution

4HALF THE WORLD AT WAR;"

At least one-half of the world is at
war, according to writer for the New
York Press whose bent for statistics
leads him to figure the dimensions of
the present conflict in point of the pop
ulation of the countries involved.
To quote:
Roughly, there are about 56,00O,OOO
square miles of the worlds land area.
1.-THE countries now directly involved
in the war hold these areas and popu-
lations:
British Empire 13,523,712 435,000,00
Russian Empire S,647,657 166,250,0 900
France and colonies 4,S72,000 S3,S50,000
German Empire 1,243,S66 S0OO0,oO0
Belgium and Congo
Free State $1,000 28,0O0,OOO
Austria 261, O99 51,34O,OO0
Servia 23,66l 4,0OO,OOO
Totals 2s,9s2, 1896 S98, 44O, 900
'whitaker's London Almanack esi-
mates the worlds population in 1912 at
/, 1928, 800, 900. So it will be seen that
the warning nations of today represent
Just a little more than half the worlds
population as they also do of its area"
These figures include in the Ger
man Empire 100000 square miles
of African territory. The continent
of Africa is almost wholly included
in the figures, because so much Of it
is held by the Powers now at war.
Great Britains Asian and Austraiaslan
possessions are included. These far
away possessions are not participants
in the war and will probably figure
in it only as the subjects of the re-
mapping of the world that will follow
the European struggle. Half Of the
world, from one point of view, is at
war. But the geographical limits OF
the war upon land can hardly be ex-
uected to include more territory than
that which lies within the boundaries
of the United States. The theater OF
the actual fighting will be. Of course
very much smaller.

II THERE IS any in America who can predict
what correct dress will be this winter. IT is Mr..
Charles thurman. And he says he doesn't know.
OF thing only he certain when he came on the
Philadelphia on Wednesday night and stood before
the customs officials
BLACK and white" he said will be the leading col
ors-rrourning and half mourning And sombre tete
Negro and navy blue will follow them. All Paris-all
the Russias-sI the of Europe will wear crepe
this year For the FIRST time in history the couturers
have closed their shops. There is no money and Ger
tainly no heart for gayety there.
America will fol,.w suit There will be no vogue
for gay oolors this season. One may be doubly sure
Of that when one knows that the early showngs, the
gowns worn by the dem-mondanes in Paris last week
and week before had already indicated that white and
black were Of themselves TO be fsvorites. And
am certain that neither here nor abroad will anything
but severity and simplicity prevail
Nc Occasion for Elaborate Dress
"Clothes-there Is nc place TO wear them in
France There is no Deauville, no opera, the cafes
close at o'clock; there only twenty-five cabs and
four tsxis in all Paris In the few establishments that
remain open the girls sit and cannot sew-their usual
customers too distracted to inquire about costumes,
and there are absolutely no openings
You here can scarcely bring yourselves to imagine
he utter paralysis that prevails in Paris The silk mills
OF Lyons are closed-there will be expectation OF
fabric or lace"
! asked Mr. HUFFMAN whether America would in
deed, do creating its own account Mr.. thurman
shook his head.
You don't understand" he said; we not pre-
pared 70 90 about The models / have Just brought
over would in any case be in the Of fashion for
another three months And this year-which is like
other in the history Of the business and art OF
olo;hes-cary August imporations will remain in au-
thority for SIX months maybe twelve.
One thing is certain. Nothing more comes TO ms
from Paris. What creating do in the thurman es-
adjustment will certainly not be startling With dis
ester threatening the whole world, there will be no
call for grotesque Imagination novelty in costume
What models We have will be our American insPira-
ton I presume VIC shall proceed slowly in adapting
these that have shown you to the changes in winter
taste.

even will as result OF the tragedy OF Europe be re-
fcctcd in American clothes.
Where our materials will come from, whether more
will he imported or what American made cloths will
be used is still in the air. We don't know. Nobody
knows. Only, OF course, the choice fabrics OF Lyons
are nowhere procurable here. and if famine makes
virtue Of necessity some homewoven material may hap
pen upon a vogue.
In blouses crepe is still supreme. Elaborate and
simple the correct models closely adhere to the single
material.
There Is No style"
For the moment there is no style. l can only re
peat: these models will hold sway for long time and
changes will be initiated in modifying them not in Com

1T is noticeable that ali fabrics plain No polka

1T is as if the sorrow OF the season had been pre-
dcted in the sheer panress of the forerunning weeks

OF the models he has imported from the pre-opening
