"High Food Cost Due to
War Secretary Red6eld

Washington, Sept. 26. - The war is
blamed by Secretary of Commerce
Redfield as the chief factor in causing
a thirty-fve per cent increase in the
cost of living.
There is waste in war;" Mr. Red
field said in an interview on present
economic conditions. "the men in the
trenches are using more shoes, more
hats and more clothing than they do
in normal times. The demand for
meat has grown because the millions
of men in the field demand more
meat than usual.
'There is shortage in the supply of
wheat in the United States as the
supplies of Hungaria and Rumania
are not available and the Russian
wheat crop is choked up. This ac-
counts for the flour increase.
THE increased price movement is
worldwide. Conditions everywhere
are abnormal. Half the world is at
war and the old order of things is
upset. 1t is a very natural conse-
quence that prices should advance"

Combles, town of some 1000 popu-
lation before the war, had been rem
dered of small strategic importance to
the Allies by their long continued en-
circling movement 1t has been of
notable value to the Germans. how
ever, because as long as they clung to
1t the Franco British freedom of ac-
ton in pushing their offensive move
ments toward Bapaume and Peronne,
on either side of it, was hampered.
Turned into a strongly fortified po-
sition by German defensive ingenuity,
it has persistently held fast like a rock
in the course of a turbulent stream
that has had to be blasted loose before
the channel was fully opened up. This
process has only been accomplished by
long continued. severe and costly effort
on the part of the Allies.
Driving in from the south, the
French successfully swept by Harde-
court, Maurepas, lie Forest and finally
reached Fregicourt. a mile east of
Combles. More slowly, but none the
less surely, the British have pushed
their advance on the north of the Ger
man salient. Their struggles to reach
and hold Ginchy and Guillemont were
expensive in time and men, but finally
the ground north of Combles and some
distance to the east was occupied put
ting the town in a pocket of which the
opening was constantly being mar
rowed by the drives of the entente
armies.

BUSINESS MEN
ASKED TO BOOST
WHARTON SCHOOL
Urged to Encourage Young Men

An appeal to the citys business men
to urge young men and women in their
employ to take advantage of the op-
portunities afforded by the Harrisburg
branch of the University of Pennsylva-
MIA Wharton school of accounts and
finance was made public to-day by
Wendell P. Raine, secretary of the
Harrisburg branch, who is now regis
tering students for the coming school
year at the offices of the Chamber of
Commerce in the Kunkel building.
Mr.. Raine points out that with the
training given by the universitys bus:-
ness school, employees become better
money makers, and his appeal Is based
not on sentimental reasons. but on a
pure dollars and cents basis. His ap-
peal is as follows:
Harrisburg is one of the four Penn
sylvania towns that enjoys the advan-
tages of business training of a univer-
sity standard. Three years ago Whar-
ton school business courses were es-
tablished by the University of Pennsyl-
vania in Wilkes Barre and Scranton

British Hold Bremen Is
Assertion of DR.. M'Kenzie

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 26. - The
German merchant submarine Bremen.
with a s25,000,000 cargo, has been
captured by the British and is being
held at Falmouth. according to DR.. r..
TAFT Mckenzie, director of physical
education at the University of Penn
sylvania, who arrived here yesterday
after serving sixteen months in the
medical corps of the British army.
Doctor Mckenzie bases his assertion
on what he considers reliable infor-
nation which he received shortly be-
fore he sailed from England a little
more than a week ago. The method
and place of the capture are regarded
as military secrets in England, he
says. and for that reason the story
of the Rremens fate has been kept
out of the British newspapers.
