tiscr, the name of Captain Cook was
published in connection with the anti,
British plots developing in Manila and
India, although at that time II was
supposed by members of the CDok
party that the British objections rails
ed to his exploration plans in India
were based on the supposition that he
was prO-German and a possible trouble
maker for the British.
1t was just two years ago, also, that

This also was in The Advertiser. Since
then Mr.. Rodiek has been indicted in
the federal court of San Francisco as
an alleged principal in the plotting
1t was stated in The Advertiser at that
time that the greater part of the trou,

MAY NEED FORCE

"lf the retail dealers fail to cut
their prices in. conformity to the
new prices set by the wholesale
distributors and the consumers
fail to secure the benefit of the
lower costs Of food, the reduc-
ton will have to be forced upon
them through the cultivation of
public sentiment.
The bean harvest now reach
ing the market is seven million
bushels greater than the harvest
OF last year. The corn crop has
resulted in a gain in production
OF between six hundred and seven
hundred million bushels, which
should provide greatly cheaper
hog and cattle food and lower
the cost of producing poultry"
TENDENCY DOWNWARD
Already, according to the mar
ket reports, the price OF beef is
showing tendency to come
down and the prices of other
meats are expected soon to fol-
low. ...".
The predicted sugar shortage
throughout the Eastern States
has developed with a rush and,
despite the warnings of the food
administration to distributors not
to increase their prices but to in
duce consumers to limit their
uses Of sugar, the retail price in
New York and some of the other
large cities has been jumped to
twelve cents a pound. Many re-
tailers have already exhausted
their stocks and are unable to re-
PleniSh these, while other deal
crs are limiting sales to small
quantities.
LACK FACILITIES
The lack Of transportation facil-
tiles, due to the rush of the grain
harvesting, is solely responsible
for the sugar shortage. Prefer
ence is being given to coal and
grain in shipping and stocks of
beet sugar cannot be moved east,
while all stocks Of Cuban cane
sugars have been cleaned out.

ECONOMICAL OPERATION
 OF RED CROSS IN FRANCE

The first complete report on the or ganization which the American Red Cross has built up in France, since the arrival of the Red Cross Commis- sion in June, to handle its work for the American Expeditionary Force and French people, is made public to. day by H. P. Davison, Chairman of the War Council.
 A staff og S64 persons has been gathered together in that time under the direction of Major Grayson M.-P. Murphy, head of the Red Cross Com mission to France. Of these, 517 are serving without salary or living al- lowance from the Red Cross. Among these volunteers are prominent Amer ican business men, technical experts and women experienced in the hand ling of relief supplies. All have put their time freely at the command of the Red Cross. Owing to the large

provided for the use of the Commis sion rent free through the generosity of one of its members.
 "Of our 347 employees paid from the Red Cross fund.-" Major Murphy ca- bles, "262 receive annual compensa- tion of less than $1200 per year. Eff. ty employees receive compensation of $1200 and $2100 annually. Fifteen employees receive from the Red Cross annual compensation in excess of $2,- 100 per annum."
 The staff of over 800 persons is handling the entire relief work of the American Red Cross in France, which has developed to huge proportions as one need after another has been not ed by the Commissions expert inves- tigators. Already plans calling for the expenditure of more than ten mil lion dollars in behalf of the American army in France and French troops and the French civilian population have been outlined.

number who have responded to the Red Cross call for volunteers it has been possible to organize the present efficient staff in Paris at an average cost to the Red Cross of about $500 per year for each worker.
 There are BAT employees on the Red Cross payroll, including 95 day la borers used in handling supplies and construction. The average wage paid to these BAT persons is $500 per year. Major Grayson M.-P. Murphy cables further that he is carefully studying payrolls with a view to further re- duction."
 The remaining 517 workers are ei- ther serving without compensation and at their own expense, or are paid by their former employers, who have loaned them to the Red Cross for war service, or are paid from private sub. scription.
 The expense of the Infant Welfare Unit, for instance, is met by spe- cial gift made for this express pur- pose by Mrs. William Lowell Put nam of Boston. Major Murphy also obtained by private subscription, be- fore he sailed for France, fund of S1O0,O00, which is applied toward the expenses of the Commission.
 The headquarters of the American Red Cross in Paris, are in an ample building on the Place de la Concordc

RIPLEY SAYS WAR
 WILL END SOON

E. P. Ripley of the Atchison, Tope- ka & Santa Fe Railway company, looks for quick finish of the world war. "The Germans, he said, "must fight to the end with their armies as now organized. They have no re- serve force from which to draw, and cannot possibly last till their children reach military age. On the other hand, the allies are gaining in strength steadily by the arrival of American units at the front. In a little while the allied armies be over whelming, and the Germans will be crushed in the spring, at the latest. l heard New York man capable of discussing the subject express the opinion that the Germans would ask for peace negotiations before Christ mas, but I am inclined to believe that operations in the spring will be ne- cessary for complete victory"
 'In your opinion, has the United States government conducted it's part or the war wisely?" Mir. Ripley was asked.
 "As whole, our government has done remarkably well," he replied. "The administration very wisely drafted the best business and profes- sional men obtainable to help in the emergency, regardless of the political utilization of those selected. In addi- ton, to get more efficiency, it threw into the waste basket a lot of ham, pering laws, including most of the anti trust laws. True, a great many blunders have been made, but we must remember that the war game with the most of us is new. It is easy to criticise the government for it's man. agement of the war, but critics are not always fair"
 "Will the transportation needs of the country be met during the war;"
 "Yes. The railroads having merged their interests, will be able to handle both government and commercial traffic with the minimum of delay. During rush times the service may not always be perfect, but it will be as nearly perfect as any other class of service under human management. The railroads will have no difficulty in hauling export stuff to the sea- boards as rapidly as ships can be pre- vided for it."
 "Will the new liberty loan be float ed quickly?"
 'It will be floated, and quickly, if the people understand the situation. It takes money to win wars, and now that we are in the world war to stay, the money to win it will have to be raised, if not by the sale of bonds, then by taxation. The wise will buy bonds, for as bondholders, they will get their money back, with interest. There is no money back in taxation; and if the money needed to carry on the war is not raised by bond sales, congress will enact an income tax law which will catcN Everybody, big and little. No citizen is going to es- cape his obligation in the fight in which the United States now is en- gagged"
 "After the war is over, what will b. the attitude of the people towards the railroads?"
 "I am not enough of a prophet to answer that. Some folks say we are drifting more rapidly than ever to- ward government ownership. Others believe there will be little government ownership talk after the war, in view of the achievements under the meth ods of the railroads war board. Still
The Coconino sun., 1917-10-12

others think the politicians will get the idea from present handling of transportation problems that private ownership with government support "a sort of compromises the best way. The war is full of lessons. Here's hoping that we may all learn them"
