Cost of Bread

mi OST persons have not complained about

they have regretted it, because they believed
IAN increa Sc necessitated by various causes.
If statements emanating from the Office OF the
United States District Attorney of Chicago
Sare accurate, however. the situation assumes
an aspect that justifes Investigation Ac-
cording to these statements. bread made from
American -four is selling cheaply IN
London, Trieste. Havre and other European
cities than in the United States.
s If that is true, only the greater cost OF

plain 1t. Crop shortages and war exports,
hitherto relied on. do not answer the question.
Nor may it be assumed that any desire TO let
sufferers In beligerent countries have -four
mt lower rate than is charged here enters
into the difference in market prices. 1t is
possible that an investigation, rather than an
embargo on wheat and -four. is necessary.

Soldiers Wills

tribunal OF the German empire has an

mixed in Virginia by statute. Under the Code
Sof Virginia. "a soldier being in actual military

What We Have Escaped

C1NCE July ]. when the offensive on the
~ Somme began, the British have lost
307. 900 men in killed wounded and missing.
Most OF these losses were incurred in France
The French losses in the same period prob
ably have been third at least as great, and
the German losses certainly 100000 and
probably more. 1t is safe to estimate that on
this twenty-mle front, north and south of
the Somme. the losses of all combatants have
exceeded 500, 900 men.
Great battles in the meantime. have been
going on In Galcia and Pennsylvania in the
Balkans and the Tyrol. in the Carpa hians
and the Caucasus. In three months i, is
reasonable to believe. 100000 men
have been killed, wounded or captured
This is the sort Of sacrifice from which
Woodrow Wilson has saved the United
States. Small wonder the mothers of the

The question Of electing bishop Of
their own race. now being agitated by
the members Of the Episcopal church
among colored people. will soon be
decided by the general conference OF
the Protestant Episcopal church. There
are said to be 1903 churches, with a
membership Of 19,09S and $50 minis
tiers, on that denomination among our
people.
The consensus Of opinion seems to
be that II these churches cannot get
fair and equal treatment under the

Episcopal church it is better that a
