10 CENT BREAD IS
CERTAIN, BAKERS SAY
Increased Cost Of Ingredients
Makes Small Loaf I'm
possible, They Argue
FLOUR ADVANCE
NEARLY 100 PER CENT

Declaring that they must increase the
price of bread, or the present law com
polling them to sell pound loaf OF
bread will have to be amended Il they
are to continue in business, local bakers
are favoring the abolition of the five
cent loaf for the ten-cent loaf. II Is
pointed out that il costs no more &c
make the ten-cent loaf than it costs t'
make the small ono now sold, and will
the increasing cost Of flour and other i'm
gradients. the bakers say something
must be done to give them relief. IN
speaking Of the tcn-cent loaf, II. ID. Rad
ciiffe. secretary and treasurer Of the
Ideal Baking Company, said;
1T costs Just as much to make q
fvc.cent loaf as it. does a encent Loaf
The loaves would not have to be re-
duced then. because the saving on labor
would even things up"
Fred H. Steinle, another baker. said;
There is possibility that bread
may rearh the price Of ten cents for the
regular sized leaf. which is now selling
for five cents, before next spring unless
some remedy is devised in the mean
time TO reduce the extortionate price o
-four which the bakers are compelled e
pay"
His opinion is that the only thine
that will remedy the evil is an en-
barge on wheat He also limited that
the price of bread may even climb 10
20 cents inside of eight months unless
something is done. When asked what
he intended TO do. Mr.. Steinle replied
Il will make no immediate changes
either in price or in the weight OF
the loaves. have instructed my
bakers to that effect; but I don't see
how can keep it up any longer
There must be Il radical step taken
very shortly. and as for myself ] shall
sure have TO take some drastic action
by October T." Continuing, he said
ct means either one of three things
we must either reduce the size of the
loaf. raise the price. or be forced out
OF business. With the present price
Of flour It is an impossiblity 10 con-
tinue in business and still sell bread
al the present price
The price Of -four. he pointed out
has increased so to rs per cent. Other
ingredients have gone UP from SO
per cent to $50 per cent. The price
Of labor, he contends. has increased
rs jer cent Now. how can we bakers
continue in business?' he questioned
why don't people try and make their
own bread" he went on. "thcu they
will find out how much II costs 10
make loaf Of bread The only reason
that they buy bakers bread is that
they know that it can be bought
cheaper than it can he made at home
The reason for the high price o.
-four. he maintained. Is the ahnoima
shipments TO Europe. Pointing on
that this country ordinarily consumer

we stsrve America to feed Europe,
and in the bargain the people here
are compelled to pay unreasonable
prices for bread You see the bak-
ers don't raise the price OF bread, but
1t is the SPECTATORS Mr.. Steinle CON
tinued
IAN embargo is the only thing that
will save the people from 10 and 20
cent bread, and the complete ruina-
ton OF the bakers trade" He ad-
vised the housewives TO get together
aud write to Washington and demand
an embargo be put on wheat. He also
declared that tho bakers should take
similar action.
AN embargo is the only thing 10
save the situation" he added emphat-
ically.
George II. Huber, president of the
Huber Baking Company said This
problem is a very important one both
to the public and to me, and want
the people of Wilmington TO know
how 7 stand on the proposition. !
agree with what Mr.. Radcliff said
about ten-cent bread. and ! would also
like TO say this. neither the bakers
nor the public has control of the cir
cumstances which make for higher
prices. The public cannot blame us
any more than they can blame the
/ butcher because the price OF pork
chops Is now IS cents a pound, where
Il was only t2 cents two years ago
We have absolutely nothing to say IN
determining the price OF flour The
price Of -four has increased from ~
TO $3.50 barrel in the last three
months"
Taking up pad Of paper and a
pencil Mr.. Huber pointed out that
-four cost 100 per cent. more now than
II did in the spring "If the bakers
raised the price OF bread proportion
ately with tho increase in the cost Of
! -four the people would be paving ten
cents now for ive-cent loaf he
clared. 81 will make this statement
10 all the people Of this city no said
forcetully.
"If any man or woman IN Whining

to my office to explain 10 them the

ton OF citizens Is welcome to come
at any time and discuss IL with me
and I will present the bakers case
When he was asked what would
/ happen if the price OF -four went down
again TO normal after the increase in
! prices. Mr.. Huber said
when prices go down the price Of

! Competition will force the price Of
bread down and increase the weight

can see their way clear to reduce their
expense OF making a loaf Of bread"

Attack Against Third Line of Defense
Results in Joifre's Army Capturing
Positions Over Front of More
Than Three Miles.
ASSOCIATED Press Summary

French and Russian forces have
gained additional important success 6
over the armies of the central powers
in Northern France and Galicia re-
spectively.
A sustained attack over a from. of
three and three-fourths miles bv tho
French against the third German live,
north of the Somme, resulted in tie
capture of all the trenches to a dep III
of from a third to two-thirds of a
mile. The line of the victorious
French advance extends from Hardi-
court to the Somme river. at Buscour4.
The village of Maurepas, which has
been the center of much severe fight
ing during the last few weeks, was
partly occupied by the French in the
same assault. German prisoners to
the number of 1000, together with 30
machine guns, were captured.
On the eastern front the Austro-
Germans have been forced to give ND
the entire Strypa line from Tarnapol
to Ruszacz. which they had held since
last winter. The capture of the
Strypa line by the Russians followed
the taking of several towns in the
region of Tarnapol. The Russian
success comes closely on their turn
ing of the flank of The Strypa posi-
ton in the north. by the capture of
Brody and in the south, and by the
taking of Stanislau. The advance of
General Letchitzsky continues south

gion of Bokane, Persia.
