MEAT PRICES
HIGHEST EVER
Beef Pork and Lamb Ex-
coed Civil War
Figures
LIMIT NOT
YET REACHED
Hogs $3.50 at Chicago.
Wholesalers Blame
Producers

Chicago, Aug. ls.--Civic war prices fol
meats were outdone yesterday.
Customers were paying the highest
prices in history for beef steak, beef
roasts, pork loin, ham, bacon and lamb
say the leading retailers.
Hogs continue to soar to-day, sell.
ing at $3.50 hundred pounds, As
cents higher than yesterdays record
The advance was relatively more than
on previous days this week.
Relief from the steadily advancing
prices can only come with reduction
in grain prices, now in the hands Of
Herbert c. Hoover, retailers asserted.
Wholesalers, as usual, can see only one
reason for these increases, cattle raisers
must be holding back the supply for
still higher prices. This, then, is the
answer to the much propounded inquiry
"Will prices go higher?' They will.
Retailers will not be astonished to
see prices for porterhouse-no selling
at 40 cents a pound five cents higher than
ten days ago-soon reach so and 60
cents a pound. Other cuts of beef will
advance accordingly, it is predicted.
Roasting pork has advanced eight
cents pound in the last week, due
to an advance of almost 81 hundred
pounds in the wholesale price of hogs,
but the increase has only started. Loin
is now 35 cents pound.
Ham and bacon are about as high
as they win go for the present, retail
ers explained Bacon is now As cents
a pound, about eight cents higher than
six months ago. Further advances would
mean check in the demand and a re-
action, they said
Consumers generally are turning TO in
ferior cuts arranged in new dishes, re-
tailers said This is one reason for the
advance in "chuck" and round steak,
the ehocer pieces.
Kansas City, Aug, ls.-Hogs reached
$3.50 yesterday, 5 cents above Thurs
days market.

Volunteer System

Boston, Aug. Redemption boards
are warned, in a telegram from Provost
Marshal General Crowder received yes

exemption in making up quotas.

tention that some boards were including
only those men who had passed physical
examination and had not claimed ex-
emption.
This practice is illegal and unauthor-
lied" the telegram said, because ii
amounts to volunteering and is not
selective draft"

London Press So Views Pontiff's Peace
ProposaI-Criticism All Adverse.

London, Aug. ls.-The text of the
papal peace note does not remove the
adverse impression produced here by
the publication of its summary. On the
contrary it strengthened the conviction
that the note is inspired by the central
powers and the opinion is that its pro-
posals are impossible. The editorials
express much respect for the pope and
his profession Of perfect impartiality,
but regard him unable to appreciate the
matter at issue

LIQUOR BARRED
FROM BANQUET
OF CIVIC MEET
Decision to Omit Booze Taken
in Difference to Public Sen
timent for Prohibition

IN DIFFERENCE to the rising tide
of public sentiment for prohibition.
the central committee OF the civic
convention unanimously voted at a
special meeting held this morning to
reconsider its former action and serve
no cocktail stronger than a fruit
cocktail at the convention banquet
to be held Tuesday evening, Sept
IS, at the Moana hotel.
There is no question left IN my
mind" said one member Of the cen
trail committee, that We are about
to have absolute prohibition for this
island, if bootlegging to soldiers is
not stopped-and stopped soon.
within the past few weeks, there
has been strong and rapid change
in public sentiment Our original
proposal to serve a cocktail at the
banquet. as in years past, was taken
before this change had Crystallized.
To adhere to it now would be an af-
front to the general sense Of the
community"
The discussion arose spontaneously
from a casual reference to District
Attorney Huber's letter of advice to
the Territorial Hotel Company, warn
ing the management not to serve in
toxicants to civilians sitting at the
same table with officers of the army
or navy.
j. Ashman Beaver, secretary of
the committee, summed it all up
when he said:
Putting the thing conservatively,
feel that we certainly are open to
no criticism if we omit cocktails,
and, contrariwise, that, If we do serve
them, we subject ourselves to attack.
1t is one thing for the individual
delegate to take his cocktail, if he
wishes, but if we serve cocktails as
a part Of the banquet, e put the
seal of this conventions approval
on them"
L. w. de Vis-Norton then offered
a motion that fruit cocktails and
fruit cocktails only be served. It
was carried without debate, and the
committee turned to other business
The whole incident occupied not
more than three minutes.

Japanese From,

Drafted In LA.

HANICHI HAYASHI, the first
n Japanese to be accepted in
AALos Angeles for the military
draft, is a Hawaiian-born lad, "a
years of age, and will be remem-
beredf here as a violin player of
considerable ability. He told the
Los Angeles officials that being
an American citizen he claimed
no exemption from draft. The
Evening Herald of that city prints
the story:
al did not ask exemption be-
cause l consider myself an Ameri-
can citizen
"Kanichi Hayashi, the first JAP
anese to be accepted in Los An
geles by draft for the Liberty
army, spoke in clear English.
And, being an American, be-
lieved it my duty to fight
They were plain words, plainly
spoken, easily understandable, but
when Hayashi told of himself, of
his cherry blossom bride back in
Japan and his aged parents de-
pendent upon him. they. bore a
deeper significance.
"T was born in Hawaii, "a years
ago. he said. My parents were
Japanese. l have a wife in Japan
and my parents are dependent
upon myself and my brother, who
is younger.
az have been in Los Angeles
for a year and three months, work

to my brother. We decided that

the other remain and support nv

me as it does to any one else. I'm

"Hayashi's voice rang with pride
as he spoke. Then he smiled.

over here. l might kick the
