THE FOOD HoG.-A loaf of bread
is worth the amount of good it will
do the eater; a dozen eggs are worth
the amount of nourishment they
contain.
Food VALUES do not fluctuate.
Only PRICES f1uctuate.
The loaf of bread for which you
a brick will butter no more bread
good than that for which you paid
cents last month.
Butter for which you pay SO cents
a brick will butte rho more bread
than that for which you paid % cents
last summer.
Yet there are people who contend
there is no wrong in storing up food
stuffs while there is plenty, and sell
ing them at high profit when fam
inc stalks, or threatens to stalk, in
the land!
Food hogs are not modern in de-
veIopment; they had them in the
days of wise old Solomon. And in
those days men who "cornered" pro-
visions were cursed for their I'M
righteousness.
Listen to Solomon, the maker of
proverbs+you can find his words in
the bible, eleventh chapter Of Pro-
verbs, 18th verse:
'He that withholdeth corn, the
people shall curse him; but blessing
shall be upon the head of him that

American Ambassador in
Berlin Convinced Peace
Is in Sight
WILSON IN POSITION
TO TAKE ACTION
America and All Neutrals
Need Peace, He Is Quot
ed as Saying

Berlin, May 27.-American Ambassa-
dor Gerard is convinced that peace is in
sight, according TO an interview pub
lished in a Munich newspaper to-day
from Berlin correspondent. Gerard is
quoted as saying: Nothing can shake
my confidence that peace is on its way"
The ambassador referred to the settle
ment of the differences of the United
States and Germany as preparing the
war for President Wilson to take up the
peace question. He said that Wilson now
had greater freedom of action to deal
with the immense world problem which
will determine the future attitude of
nearly all the countries of the globe. He
said it was useless to discuss whether
intermediation is desirable or
probable in this instance. Facts alone
must speak and the most important fact
is that neutrals are probably as much in
terested in bringing about early peace as
the belligerents. America urgently needs
peace and for this reason alone the Amer
can government is under obligations to
It's citizens to do and support everything
serving the cause of peace.

ANOTHER BORDER CONFERENCE,
Pershing Will Meet Gavira at Latter's
Request.

Washington, d. O., May 27.-Anothel
conference of Mexican and American
military commanders was arranged yes
terday. Secretary Baker announced that
General Pershing, heading the American
expedition in Mexico, would meet Gen
eral Gayira. Carranza's commander in
Chihuahua, at the latter's request, TO
work out plans for closer cooperation in
their military operations. General Fun.
ston has approved the proposal.
1t is believed that General Gavira will
go Immediately to General Pershing's s
headquarters at Namiquipa for the con-
ference. Some definite arrangement to
preclude the possibility of clashes be-
tween Carranza and American soldiers by
keeping them apart, is expected here to
be one of the important results OF the
discussions.
Officials were not advised whether Cen
eral Carranza or General Obregon had
approved Ghvira's request, and it was be
lieved he probably acted on his own ini-
tiative as supreme military commander
of the state of Chihuahua.
While arrangements for the conference
were being made by General Funston the
state department received yesterday its
first official information as to the probable
tenor of the new note from General Car
rama, on its way here by special mes
senger.
Special Agent Rodgers at Mexico City
reported that while he had been unable
to obtain from Carranza officials any
hint as to the contents of the communi-
cation, newspapers in the capital, closely
censored by the federal government, were
printing statements that it would de-
mand immediate withdrawal of the
American expedition.
While officials here believe the phrase
ology of the note will be largely for Mex
lean consumption, designed to appease
popular Indignation over presence. Of
United States forces in Mexico, they |
hope General Carranza has not gone so
far as TO make an unqualified demand
Tor withdrawal. Eliseo Arredondo, Mex
can ambassador designate, issued a state
nent yesterday declaring the Carranza
government was "doing everything in its
,ower to bring negotiations to conclu
lion satisfactory to all parties and in a
manner which will sacrifice neither the
elfrespect nor the pride of either ma
ion"

General Joseph S. Gallieni,
Hailed as Savior of
Paris, Dead
HE WAS FORMER
MINISTER OF WAR
Death in Versailles Caused
a Profound SEN
sation

Paris, May 27.--General Joseph s. Gal.
lieni, former minister of war, died at
Versailles to-day. His death, while ex-
pected, created profound impression
as General Gallieni was idolized by the
French people, particularly the poorer
classes who regarded him as the saviour
of Paris during the critical days of Au-
gust, 1914 The funeral will be the oc-
casion of notable military and civil dem.
onstrations.
On August %, 1914, with the Germans
threatening Paris, he was given the inn
portant post of commando of the en-
trenched camp and military governor OF
Paris. The question of declaring Paris
an open town was seriously discussed
at that time. The departure of the gov
ernment for Bordeaux created a great
deal of uneasiness and all those who
were in the capital at the time recall
the feeling of relief and revival of con-
fidence following the posting Of Gal
lieni's proclamation in which he declared
Il have received the mission of defend
ing Paris against the invaders ] shall
accomplish that mission to the end"
At once his organizing ability and en-
ergy were shown. In few days the city
was surrounded by new field fortifica
tions, heavy artillery was posted at all
vantage points, complete system Of tel
nphonic and telegraphic communication
was established around the city. The part !
he played in the Battle of the Marine is
partly known; how on a Sunday, while |
gon kluck's lightning-like advance was
progressing he sent 10000 men Of the
troops of the army to Paris, in taxi mo-

STILL HOLD FORT APPROACHES.
French Stick to Borders of Fort Douau.
mont.

London, May 27.-Heavy fighting in the
region of Verdun continues, with the Ger
mans still the aggressors, but according
to the latest French official communi-
cation no new changes in positions have
taken place.
Following up their recapture of Fort
Douaumont, northeast of Verdun, the
Germans have striven, but Intellectually,
to drive out the French from approaches
to the fort, where they drew their lines
when forced to vacate the fort itself.
The attack was a strong one, but Par
is reports that under the fire of the
French infantry and rapid frers it was
completely repulsed, the Germans suffer
ing heavy casualties. This was the only
infantry attack in all the Verdun region,
says Paris, but the artillery of both
sides has been extremely active on all
sectors, and especially in the region of
Avocourt and Hill 304.
The British and Germans have confined
their recent fighting mainly to lombard
ments and sapping operations. There
have been several minor infantry at
tacks and bomb throwing expeditions by
both sides but in these no material ad
vantage accrued to either.
Comparative calm prevails along the
Russian front, the only fighting of mo
ment noted being north of Lake Mad
ziol, where the Russians put down Ger
man attempt to capture their trenches.
In the Caucasus region, where the
Turks and Russians are engaged, the
situation is reported unchanged.
Eighteen persons have been killed and
a score injured in an Austrian air raid
on Bari, Italy.
