FOOD CONDITIONS GIVEN ATTENTION
 BY PRESIDENT

the house commerce committee and urged the passage of a bill empow- ering the president to control eX ports. The senate agricultural com mittee heard supporters of Secretary Houston in his plan to supervise food production and distribution.
 Secretary Redfield advocated the embargo measure as a means of as surfing the United States a proper food supply, and also aid for the allies. The bill is intended primarily, he said, to give the president power to direct exports rather than to re- strict them R. A. Pearson, presi- dent of the Iowa State Agricultural college, and pr. L H. D. Weld of Yale told the senate committee thai the government should have author itv to fix maximum and minimum prices.
 Secretary Houston explained his stand for giving the government the right to fiy prices.
 "A minimum price to producers, '" he said, would stimulate production of certain staples by assuring farm CTS that these products would not be disposed Of below a certain level which would give them a reasonable return and would not cause them to [ suffer loss in any event. This woulG be done under proper regulation. The shortage O. important crops in this country, the greatly depleted re- sources abroad, and the waste and destruction in Europe should cause a continuance of remunerative prices, put as 2r additional assurance to farmers the power indicated ought to be vested in the government
 "lt is not suggest ed that maximurn prices be fixed to producers, but that power to fix such prices governing the distribution of products be given to the government to be used if nec- essary to control uneconomic spec ulation and manipulation ill the handling of food products
 Tt is of the utmost importance that no step be omitted greatly to increase the supply, especially of the great staple food products of the United States, in every direction"

 From Gorzia to the head of tre Adri- atic sea violent artillery duels are in progress between the Austrians and the Italians. At several points in this region the Italians, by surprise at tacks, occupied advanced Austrian po- sitions and made prisoners of the defenders. The guns here are roaring in a mighty duel.
 Along the entire Macedonian front reciprocal bombardments are taking place. The only infantry attack is reported by the Bulgarian war office which says that the British between Lake Doiran and the Vardar river, after an intense drum fire, delivered thrust, but were repulsed.
 The British admiralty expresses the belief that German torpedo boat de- stroyer has been sunk in the North sea off the Belgian coast by a bomb dropped by a British naval aircraft, one of three which attacked five enemy destroyers. Only four of the destroy CTS are reported to have returned to Zeebrugge.

 WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, (Via London, April "A, 10;30 D. m.)-The intensely bitter ground fighting of the last two days has been reflected in the air and the British royal flying corps yesterday estab- hShed a new record by bringing down forty German machines. Fifteen of these were actually seen to crash while 25 collapsed or fell in spinning nose dives, completely out of control
 The fights took place 15,000 feet in the air, from which distance it is bare ly possible to see the ground and who'll ly impossible to see an adversary crash unless the pilot deliberately fol- lows down. Such course is not feas- ible where the fighting has taken on the character of a general melee, as is nowadays often the case. A remark able part of yesterdays performance is that only two British machines are missing.
 It was the finest day for war flying that the young pilots ever had, and today they have been at it again since sunrise, but the full reports of their exploits are not yet in.
 It is known, however, that one in- trepid young flier, failing to find a single German observation balloon aloft, sought out one in it's hangar on the ground, dived at it and set the big gas bag ablaZe from stem to stern.
 Since Sunday the British airmen have been revelling in weather they have long desired: Not cloud was in

RUSSIA SHOWING
 HER FRIENDSHIP
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PETROGRAD, April 23, Monday, (via London, April 25.)-Professor Paul Milukoff, minister of foreign affairs, and David R. Francis, the American ambassador, clasped hands on the plat form of Alexander Hall in the duma to- night while an immense crowd stood and applauded. It was the first public demonstration of the new frienship of Russia growing out of Americas entry into the war
 The meeting was arranged by the SO clety for Promoting Friendly Relations between Russia and the United States MT. Francis had just concluded his ad- dress in which he declared that Russia was not thinking of a separate peace; that militarism in Prussia was doomed and the liberty loving people of Ger many would soon be freed as the Rus sian had been freed ana that govern ment by consent would be established throughout the earth.
 The audience arose, shouting it's ap- proval of the sentiments expressed by the ambassador, while Professor Milu- Rolf reached in front and grasped the the presiding officer and grasped the ambassadors hand. Then in an address professor MilukOff confirmed the words of MT. Francis that Russia was not dreaming of peace
 President Wilson thought once, D said professor Milukoff that the peace of the world could be gained without victory. Now by a declaration of war he shows he is of the contrary. Amer ica's entry into the war at this time is more than a coincidence; it is an omen."
 The hall was draped with the Amer lcan and the new Russian colors.

America at daylight this morning. All the members of the commission were on the bridge of their boat with the French admiral commanding, shortly after five o'clock to see the entrance of Hampton Roads. AS the roads came into view, Marshal Joffre turned to an American naval officer, serving as pilot, and said:
 What a wonderful scene. I love this sunshine. It reminds me of my own countrywide south of France"
 Every American ship in the harbor hoisted the French tri-color, and the band of a warship played "The Star Spangled Banner Marshal Joffre and the military and naval members stood at salute until the last note had floated across the water, while the civilian members stood with barred heads. Im- mediately after came the French na- tional anthem which was saluted in a similar manner
 The commissioners lunched on board their own vessel, finishing just in time to receive Ambassador Jusserand,

 r he British Side !, April 24.-Reuter' {

LONDON, April 24.-Reuter's corre- spondent telegraphing from the British headquarters in France today says:
 The fighting now proceeding is the fiercest seen in this war. The Germans have thrown in large reserves and have brought up great number of fresh guns.
 They probably realize that the bat tie now developing may assume a de- clsive character and they are resisting desperately They are doing just what we want The German army is only to be defeated and broken by hard fight ing and the recent movements of the enemy have justified some doubt as to whether they would stand further hard fighting. They certainly are doing it now and accepting battle in the open. So far we have gained a good deal and have lost nothing"
 The correspondent contrasts the reckless prodigality with which the Germans are throwing reserves of men and guns into the firing line with their previous prudence and says that they clearly realize the full extent of the Anglo French menace to their whole system of communications and are try ing desperately to counter the danger. Continuing, he says:
 They are throwing in their strategic reserves wholesale and are rushing up guns and ammunition which must be weakening some other point
 A British official communication to- night says:
 Further information received re- garding Mondays battle shows that the fighting was of an exceptionally fierce nature. Several German divisions were engaged on the front from Croisilles to Gavrelle. Several points of tactical importance changed hands more than once, but eventually all three remained in our possession.
 Not only were frequent hostile counter attacks shattered by our massed artillery fire, but those of the enemy who succeeded in penetrating our barrages were cut down by our rifle or machine gun fire.
 One British corps took prisoners from no less than four German diyi- sions. Our troops advanced along the whole front.
 More than 2.000 prisoners have passed through our collecting stations since Monday morning and there are l others yet to come
 There was a greater amount of rlghtlng in the air Monday than has taken place before in single day. | Fifteen German machines were brought down destroyed and A others were drlVen down out of control.' ---o--

the sky today behind which German could find shelter. Deprived of that means Of digging themselves in" the German fllers were far scarcer than usual. British machines were every where along the battle front and far behind the German lines Bombing raids were carried out 45 miles back, the machines deliberately flying over ground where battles were raging with the greatest fury
 German trains rushing reinforce ments to the front were attacked and transport columns on the roads were bombed and completely disorganized. In several instances the British ma chimes came low over the fighting lines and poured machine gun fire in to the German ranks. In doing this. machines have deliberately crossed the fire Of their own as we'll as the enc my's guns.
 Yesterday one British pilot. after bringing down two Germans and with all his ammunition gone, descended. reloaded, filled up his petrol tanks. and took to the air again. Within half an hour he had brought down his third machine for that day. Another pilot felled two machines, while. the other 35 were divided among a similar num- per or British pilots.
 The greatest fight yet, oddly enough, was drawn battle One of the British pilots met a brilliant Ger man flier, and for a full hour they maneuvered in a most marvellous manner without either being able to bring his gun to bear on the other They rolled, looped, twisted, deliber- ately stalled their engines and, stand ing the machines on their tail, slid backwards through the air, but all to no avail. It probably was the most wonderful air duel the war has yet seen.
 The British pilot reported today that several times he felt sure he would get his adversary between his sights, but the latter invariably wriggled out of the line of fire. The British flier himself was kept busy avoiding the German, and once he had to dive almost perpendcularly The combat did not break off until both pilots had fairly exhausted themselves and their petrol
 Strangely enough, later in the day another British pilot encountered the same German ma chine The Brit isher WIS wingins his way home after hard day $ work, but he jock eyed with the German for nearly quarter of an hour before flying on.
 Still another pilot mounted q fasr new machine and deliberately all lowed a German to get on his tail. Then he suddenly looped behind his adversary and caught him just within the sights, the burst of fire killing the German instantly. The machine swerveG and the dead man pitched ouc, 10000 feet from the ground.
 The fighting yesterday was all within enemy territory.

A Serbian Funeral.
BY NIKsAH.

1t is not quite accurate to entitle
this ceremony funeral, for it is not
that, but we have in English no one
word or two words with which to ex-
press the meaning. In order to secure
complete accuracy 1T would have been
necessary to head this sketch with the
words, Ceremony Performed by a
Serbian Family on the Anniversary of
the Death of One of Its Members"
and no newspaper copy-reader would
pass a title like that
1t is the custom of the country to
remember the dead on the anniversary
of death by pilgrimage to the grave
yard. with all appropriate ceremonies.
A morbid custom, and one that must
be productive of endless and needless
grief according to our ideas. but ths
Serbs are a hard race and face their
sorrows without covering them. All

accompanied by close friends and
headed by priests. Flowers are laid
on the grave, prayers are offered, and
the women weep. The virtues of the
dead are extolled, and he is addressed
and apostrophised.
This part of the ceremony over, the
company sits down to a meal that
they have brought with them. The
affair takes on the aspect of some
grave social occasion. Wine is drunk
and much food Is eaten. 1t is GUS
tomary to tell all the anecdotes and
incidents relating to the dead man
that those present can remember.

humorous turn are not barred. 1t 10
in some sort q bringing forth of his
whole memory and setting him again
before his people, brushing aside the
passing days that were hiding the
thoughts of him from view.
1t Is interesting to speculate on the
meaning of this unusual practice, and
on the human tendency that gave IL
birth and keeps 1t alive. II seems to
root in the old human dread of being
forgotten completely. AS these people
do 1t unto the dead. so they expect
their children and their relatives to
do unto them, and they cherish the
custom as a fountain that will keep
their own memory green when their
time comes.

BUSINESS AND THE WAR.

President Wilson has publicly de-
manded "a just price for everything
the government buys. a price which
will sustain the industries concerned
in a high state of efficiency. provide a
living for those who conduct them,
enable them to pay good wages and
make possible the expansions of their
enterprises which will. from time to
time, become necessary. as the stu
pendous undertaking of this great war
develops"
Everybody will agree with this con-
clusion. We have been thrust into a
frightfully expensive war. We have
just made a war loan of $4,000, 000,-
900. and it is to be followed ny an
other equally large. with more in
prospect. How shall we mee> this
vast expenditure for war purposes? By
war taxes, of course. Who will pay
these taxes? The business men of the
country? How will they pay hem?
Obviously out of the profits of their
business. With no profits. there will
be no war taxes; with no taxes. no
war.
1t is foolish to believe. says Leslie's,
that the president or his cabinet Of
ficers want to destroy business. They
want the shops kept open and the
workmen kept busy The president
has summoned the Big Brains Big
Business to Washington. Let him
listen to them. Don't let us suspect
Them. And don't make the business
men of the country merely collect
ing agency to collect war taxes for
the government and nothing for the
conduct of their own business. As
Senator Lodge recently said: you
are not going to get the money 10 run
this war. if you are going to kill bust
ness. You cannot raise taxes, unless
you have something to tax. Le. pri-
vate business make all it can. and then
tax it."
Some congressman are acting as if
they were more eager to strike at the
business interests of this country than
to win the war. This was clearly evil
denced by the proposition to forbid
any person connected with the gov
eminent from selling to it anything in
which he had an interest. As the
president has summoned to his aid
the heads of the largest corporations
in the country, he did not hesitate to
write letter to the author OF the
proposition saying that such legisla-
ton would be a calamity.
Nor did Secretary Lane hesitate tc
say that the business men comprising
the advisory committee give the gov.
eminent infinitely more thar they
receive" He added: 1T honor these
men and I hope that congress- will
authorize for them an emblem simila,
to that given in Canada and elsewhere
showing that they are in nationa.
