Milk CONTROL
IS NEXT step
Food Administration Ready
to Take Drastic Meas
ures with Diaries.

The food administration has just
begun to fight. Undeterred by the re-
newaI OF attacks by Senator Reed.
it was learned yesterday that Her
bert Hoover wifi proceed along the
following lines:
/. Drastic measures Of control will
next be applied to dairy products and
to sugar.
? Dairymen are warned that II
their present business practices are
calculated to gouge the babies OF the
United States and the allies, these
practices must be discontinued.
Sugar on List.
T. Sugar will be put on the list of
things controlled by the exports coun-
Gil as soon as the food administra-
ton gets into full swing. and the
orgy OF unexplainable high prices in
that commodity win be made to cease.
5. A board of control for wheat,
independent OF the price-hxing board
headed by President Garfield, OF VIII
liams College, will soon be named,
and similar boards will be organized
for each commodity over which the
food administration from time to time
takes control.
s. Armed with the special knowledge
of these boards and the information
which the agents OF the administra-
tion have been quietly gathering for
months. hoarders OF wheat for high
prices will be compelled to disgorge
or to face proceedings in the United
States courts.
Disregard Attacks.

Senator Reed evident about the off,
ees Of Mr.. Hoover yesterday after
noon Is said to have a counterpart IN
the White House. Senator Reed has
had his say. the President is said to
feel. and despite his bitter attacks
the food control bill has become law.
1t Is now time for others than the
Missouri Senator to show the coun-
try what can be done in solving its
chief economic problem
The problem Of dairy products is
one OF the most complicated ones
in the whole food situation. Mr..
Hoover has been studying it for some
time, however, and believes that he
has a solution.
Eliminate Waste.
should licenses from the Food Ad-
ministration be required for milk deal
ers, as the Food Administration will
require them from dealers in grain,
all Of the distribution OF milk may
be regulated so that the waste and
expense Of a dozen wagons in the
same city block may be eliminated.
The policy laid down in regard to
wheat will undoubtedly be closely fol-
lowed on broad lines in controlling
other food products.
Boards of control for corn, meats
and other commodities will undoubt-
edfy be established as soon as the

ARREST IS made
in MURDER CASE
John Snowden, Negro, Ac-
cused Of Killing Mrs.
Valentine Brandon.
(By Stan Correspondentl

Annapolis, Nd, Aug. l3.-The local
police believe they have solved the
brutal murder of Mrs. Valentine n.
Brandon. in the arrest tonight Of John
Snowden. a powerful negro. Two
negro women have identified him as
man they saw coming out of the
Brandon home on the day Of the
murder. He was grilled and made con-
ficting statements to the police. He
has been taken to Baltimore because
OF threats of lynching here.
On what are the police basing their
determinations? What are the clues
that they are using? "A journey
through the first floor home OF the
Brandons answers those questions for
even the most unskilled investigator.

mo EXEMPTIONS,
DRASTIC THREAT
Abuses of Privileges VIII
Lead to Withdrawal, t
Crowder Says. I

4
It became increasingly evident yes
terday that the government is infu-
enced by but one consideration in ap-
plying the selective service law. That
consideration Is raising an army.
Conscientious objecters will be draft
ed and assigned to duty which the
President will class as non-combatant.
II abuses OF exemption privileges
continue all exemption privileges will
be withdrawn.
The first increment Of the new army
will move as scheduled There will
be no serious delays through short
ages of clothing and equipment.
Persons whose dependents are
abroad will not be permitted TO claim
exemption on their behalf because
such dependents cannot become a bur-
den to the United States.
Cannot Enlist.
Drafted men will not be permitted
to enlist in the navy after they have
been called, as erroneously announc-
ed some days ago by the Navy De-
partment-
These are some Of the rulings which
came from the Office of the Provost
Marshal General and the Secretary
Of War yesterday.
Most interesting Is that concerning
the conscientious objectors. This
means that members OF sects and in
viduals who claim that their beliefs
do not permit them to engage in
war or killing, will nevertheless be
compelled to render service TO the
nation II exempted on no other
grounds.
They will be drafted, credited a.
the quotas of their states and local
ities, sent to the cantonments, and
assigned to the huge body Of men who
in modern warfare never enter the
actual combat

Looks Like Fraud.
With regard to the possible with,
drawal Of all exemption privileges
Provost Marshal General Crowdei
said yesterday:
Reports are to the effect that in
some districts as high as eighty per,
cent OF persons called are claiming
exemption on the ground OF dependen,
relatives. There is a moral certainty
in the extravaganza Of such percent
age that hundreds Of unfoundec
claims are being included In thest
totals.
I'm the absence OF stern repression

In a telegram to all the governors
of the States. Gen. Crowder says that
the attention of the Navy Depart,
ment has been called to its error in
ordering navy recruiting stations e
accept drafted men who have already
been called.

Crowder says. cannot voluntarily en-.

Paris, Aug. 13.-The Germans at
tackled last night on the Aisne front
in an effort to recapture trenches TAX
en- by the French on Saturday. To-
days official statement says they were
repulsed with losses.
The announcement follows:
Between Cerny and Craonne the en-
emy's artillery developed pronounced
activity. especially in the sector south
OF Allies. The Germans attacked in
vain at the point at which We captured
trenches on August IL. They were re-
pulsed with losses and obtained no
result.
In the Champagne east Of Rheims.
the regions of the Casque and the
Teton. and on the left bank of the
Meuse. there were spirited artillery
actions. Two surprise attacks by the
enemy, at Caurieres Wood and Bez-
onvacx, were repulsed by our fire.
Elsewhere the night was calm
Two German airplanes and a cap
tive balloon were brought down yes
terday by our pilots. Three other
enemy machines were forced to land,
having been severely damaged.

An Impressive Ceremony.

They watched with an enthusiasm
that was not expressed by loud ap-
plause or demonstrative tactics. They
watched with a solemn silence that
was the more impressive because it
emphasized that the country has en-
barked upon serious business and that
everybody present realized it.
President and Mrs. Wilson were
among the early arrivals at the pa
rade grounds and occupied seats in the
front row of the small grandstand.
The President wore a blue serge suit
and straw hat and Mrs. Wilson was
attired in light summer gown that
offered a sharp contrast to the khaki
of Col. Fenton and other army Off
GERS who fianked them on either side.
Speaker Clark and Mrs. Clark saw
their son, Bennett, become an officer
in the army. Secretary OF State Lam
sing. Postmaster-General Burleson.
Representative Dent, of the Military
Affairs Committee OF the House, Sem
ator Salisbury, Gen. Hugh Scott. Sem
ator Chamberlain and others who are
leaders in the nations war plans. were
among those who, with Russian,
French and English army officers, lent
a picturesque coloring to an animated
scene.

President Arrives.

When the President arrived he was
escorted in his automobile to the front
entrance of the reviewing stand, and
as he stepped from the machine. in
what our English cousins would call
a "Iounging suit" it furnished the
impression to many onlookers that
American democracy means democ-
racy in dress as well as in govern
ment.
The regimental review was at once
started. with the Coast Artillery Band
as an accompaniment. The men went
through their maneuvers with pre-
cision and dispatch. 1t was evident,
as Secretary of War Baker expressed
it later in his address, that three
months of intensive training has given
them an esprit de corps and a knowl-
edge of military tactics difficult to
appreciate in men who were in walks
OF civilian life a few short months
ago.
Applause was limited. AS the men
walked by the reviewing stand in
company ranks, with lines that would
do credit to longer and more inten-
sively trained West Point Cadets, a
smattering of handclapping was
noted. but every face was serious.
Following the regimental review
closed ranks were ordered and the Ma
rine Band took its place in the band
stand.

Exercises Are Opened.

Then President Wilson injected a
little human touch that stern militar-
ism might not approve, but which
found an echoing sentiment in ev-
erybody who witnessed it.
Bring them up closer" he said. as
he waved his two hands to summon
the new officers and the Marine Band
to a point where more OF the men
could distinctly hear the speakers.
Rev. Forrest ]. Prettyman. chaplain
of the Senate. then opened the formal
graduation exercises with an appro-
pirate invocation.
Col. Fenton followed with an ad-
dress on the duties of a soldier. He
recited the purpose OF the training
which the men had undergone, the
purpose of its many details and the
splendid spirit of cooperation and de-
votion to duty which the men had
displayed
