PROPOSED TO
 KEEP BREAD DOWN
Chicago Grocers Will Ask Congress to Stop ExpOrts-Drain Will
 Make Wheat Price Prohibitiye.

Chicago, Ill.,, Jan. 8.-Resolutions calling on congress to place an em- bargo on the export of wheat and flour, as we'll as on arms and ammu- milton, it was announced here today. would be introduced at the next meeting of the Chicago Retail Gro cers and Butchers Association
 s. Westerfeld, chairman of the trades relations committee of the national association of the retailers, planned to begin in this manner determined fight against the high cost of flour and incidentally of home-baked bread.
 Leaders on change predicted today in some instances that if the price of wheat went much higher there would be general turning to corn in place of wheat bread, both in this coun- try and in Europe. Other dealers were of a contrary opinion and de- clared that bakers complaints were unwarranted-that a barrel of flour costing $7 would make 275 loaves of bread, for which the retailer collect ed $13.75 at cents loaf. Who got the difference? was asked, and the conclusion was drawn that wheat was still relatively cheap.
 One well-known exporter put the breadstuffs situation this way;
 ''It is not so much a question of price for wheat as question of sup ply. Will there be enough to feed two continents? If wheat goes to $2 it will mean eating of corn as never before.'
 In this connection one of the prin- cipal traders on the board of trade made public dispatches received to- day indicating that farmers ideas as to corn were away up-that many growers said corn would sell at $1 a bushel on the farms. The latest price of May corn in Chicago today was 76 3-4 cents.
 May wheat sold as high as $1. Al 3-4 a bushel on change today.

Monaco, whose prince appealed to the neutral powers to prevent the destruction of his palatial chateau near Rheims, which the Germans are holding for ransom, is an ideal re- public. When, four years ago, the prince granted his people a consti- tuition and an annual income of $200,000 for the expenses of the gov ernment, the greatest difficulty which faced the executive was how to spend this sum. Under the rule of Prince Albert the inhabitants paid no taxes, for no taxes wer4 needed. Every possible expenditure of the miniature state was provide l for at least twice over by the profits of the casino at Monte Carlo.
