Of Course, the Food
Control Bill Would Have
the Effect of Helping

the Effect OF helping
Numerous communications containing
solutions Of the high cost Of food prob
lem are coming TO this column.
We deduct that many persons require
less time these days for eating and nave
more time for writing.
A woman who signs merely her ini-
tials NJ. c.. suggests from Standish,
Mich. that there is only one thing 70
do to meet the cost OF potatoes and that
is to quit eating potatoes
That looks fairly simple, doesn't IT,
r And it is easy to follow the line OF
reasoning
If everybody quit eating potatoes and
the demand for potatoes became NIL, and
the storage houses became glutted with
them and they began to sprout and
spoil. the commission men would dump
them on the market in a hurry.
They would rather do that than 60
broke.
We would rather they would 60 broke.
If we could only manage &c break
few of these cold storage robbers, cold
storage robbers would grow less in num-
bers instead Of greater in numbers. a
is the case at present
Yes sir. that is the solution-quit eat
ing potatoes.
Here we have letter from James
Henning, who gives Detroit as his ad-
dress Hennng has a plan for beating
the packers at their game Of ioscent
porterhouse.
He writes that round steak at -
cents a pound is a crime and ought TO
be punishable as a crime
Then he adds that "inasmuch as VIC
do not seem to be able to get our proper
authorities to act on behalf of the peo-
pie. the only thing for US TO do, Is 70
quit buying meat.
A great deal on the order Of reasoning
advanced by NJ. q.
And patriotic American" who does
not want US to publish his name. writes;
I'm my family | have solved the milk
question by refusing to buy milk. II
was bad enough to get only IL tickets
for 80 cents, but we never could get the
cent in change due US from the driver
He was always out of pennies. SO | told
him to give me back my dollar and /
have not bought milk since
And a man came into the Office TO tell
us that the price of pie, per cut. in the
serve-self restaurants has been boosted
TO 10 cents
What The Times ought TO do he
said, "is to advise people to quit eating
pie That would bring some Of these
fellows to time
There is no gainsaying the fact that
the food boycott is the deadlest weapon
we have with which to bring down the
cost of living.
Just as NJ. G. says with regard to
potatoes;
Just as James Henning says about 40
cent porterhouse;
Just as a Patriotic American says
about milk
Just as the visitor to The Times office
had to say abou: l0-cent-
But hold on let's see where that
pesky boycott would bring US to:
Bread is higher than it ever was
before
Onions are higher than they eyer were
before.
All meats arc higher than they ever
were before.
And even hay is so high that fellow
doesn't really feel that he can afford t.
cat grass.
What are we to do with our table
cloths and napkins?
If the price of wearing apparel keep
going up. maybe we viii find ourselye
obliged to wear them

WIFE MURDERER GETS
 LIFE IMPRISONMENT
Man Who Planned Death of Divorced Wife To Stop Pay ing Alimony, Shows No Emotion w h en Found Guilty.
(By Review Leased Wire)

ST. PAUL, June 30.-Frank J. Dunn was found guilty late today by Ram sey county court jury which tried him on a charge of first degree murder as the instigator of the killing of his wife, Alice McQuillan Dunn.
 Dunn showed no emotion when the verdict was read.
 Judge Hanft sentenced Dunn to life imprisonment.
 Dunn was the fourth man to be tried in connection with the murder of Mrs. Dunn and Frank Connery. Joe Red enbaugh. whom the state alleged was hired by Dunn to kill his wife confess ed both murders and was sentenced to life term in the penitentiary for staying Connery.
 Frank Mccall, his ''pal". was sent enced to 30 years for the same crime. Mike Moore, a St. Paul bartender. charged with having acted as Dunn's agent in arranging the killing of Mrs. Dunn and in paying Redenbaugh and Mccall, is serving life term on con viction of first degree murder.
 Mrs. Dunn was shot and killed in her bed room early on the morning of April 26.-The state cited as motives for Dunn's part in the case that he grew tired of paying s70 monthly ali mony and that he wanted to marry again. his wife having refused on re- ligius grounds complete divorce.

 How Infantry Moves Up.
 The regiment of engineers is kept busy repairing trenches and lines of communication from division head quarters to the fighting units and as- sisting the infantry in digging new trenches. The cavalry, in trench fighting, is useless unless sent forward to the trenches, where it acts as in fantry.
 The actual fighting men-the in- fantrymen-must not be kept in the front line trench until texterminated. Twenty-four hours is as much as com manders expect a man in the fire and first-line cover trenches. They must be constantly alert when on that shift and at the same time be careful of their own artillery, which is stationed in their rear and shoots over their heads. Premature explosions are al ways expected.
 The nearest supporting artillery excepting the machine gun nests and

line. It was in cantonments beyond range of the enemy's greatest guns. and as it proceeds toward the front it needs no shelter.
 It goes first to the brigade reserve of three regiments, which are kept in well protected positions. The biggest guns of the enemy frequently feel out" the locations of reserve regi- ments. They are safe. however, from artillery and from refie fire, and the anti-aircraft guns keep the aeroplanes away from the batteries and camps.
 For three days the regiment is held in brigade reserve. The night follow ing it advances via the bad roads," that are frequently shelled. to the third line trenches. For "A hours the regi- ment remains in dugouts upon this line. ready to repulse any sweep of the enemy that might, by chance. over power the more advanced trenches.
 The next move is to the second line positions. While doing the 24-hour tour in these. details are sent forward to repair wire entanglements and act as patrols in No Mans Land-the lat ter mark the most dangerous for the soldier in trench warfare.
 Then comes the forward move to the cover trenches of the first line. Com munication trenches are hugged while this advance is made. For the next 24 hours the soldiers spend two hours in the fire trench and four in reserve. under cover. If an attack is made, the two battalions held ever ready in the ocver trenches rush forward to the fire trench to halt the drive.
 When advances are to be made. the brigade reserve is pushed forward in the night, and after the artillery com manders believe they have battered po- sitions in the rear of the enemy's first line sufficiently, and that a curtain of shells prevents endorsements from coming up. the whistle blows and the men leap out of their trenches. Wave on wave they rush forward. If the in- fantrymen in the fourth and fifth waves sees that the others "went into the blue" as they express it. they must 20 forward anyway, or suffer the pun ishment for disobedience of orders.

Infantry Bears Brunt In Trench Fighting;
 No Place for CauaLry; HoD Diuision Is Aligned

If after American troops take their places in the battle-line in France and Belgium trench fighting is to be their lot at first, they will soon learn how essential all arms of the military ser vice are for the proper protection of a accompanying diagram will give an idea Of this.
 Everything is subordinate to the in- fantryman, who leaps forward and ad- vances on the enemy when he hears the whistle of his company command CT. He makes it possible for artil- lery to be moved up for he digs in, at his new position. which is advanced as far as he can go. and thus the fight goes on Military men are agreed that these tactics must be followed until the eneIny's armies are broken.
 What A Division Is.
 The infantry of a division is made up of three brigades each of three regiments. American regiments now have 2,015 officers and men when re- cruited up to war strength. The supporting troops in the division bring up the total number of men in the fighting force to 2S.S24. A complete division comprises the following sup porting units to the infantry brigades:
 Two regiments of field artillery, each made up of six batteries; one regiment of heavy field artillery, and under the most recent orders, an addi- tional regiment of siege artillery of the heaviest calibre for certain pick ed divisions; one regiment of engi- neers-road and bridge builders and trench makers-a signal corps with its telegraph. telephone and aviation sections; the sanitary corps, quarter masters corps and the staff depart ments necessary to assist the major general commanding in his admins trative work Two additional machine gun companies are attached, by recent orders to the division headquarters and one each to the three brigade headquarters. The division has its field bakery, supply train of wagons, its hospitals and ambulance compan- ies.
 The signal corps must maintain communication between bridage and division headquarters and run wires to the first line trenches. Command CTS of the field armies or army corps, see that communications are kept up with division headquarters. Aviators of the division report how shells are falling within the enemy lines and give quick news of any movements to show a contemplated advance or re- treat They must be prepared to fight enemy aviators too, but the work of gaining air superiority will fall main

trench mortars, which are in the first line trenches-consists of light field pieces in the second line. These have effective ranges of from three to five miles, but cannot be trained upon first line trenches of the enemy, for the lat ter are too near their own fire trench es. It is generally used for objects one or two miles distant.
 Next, in the third line trench, is the heavy ordinance. This can shoot seven or eight miles, but is more eff fective at four. Both classes of bat teries are used to make curtains" to prevent supporting forces reaching the first line trenches of the enemy. Far in rear are the monster siege guns, which can shoot ten, fifteen. or nine teen miles. Artillerymen take turns with their batteries-resting in can tonments and then working.

 FL PASO, June 30-Mexican papers published here and in Chihuahua City today printed stories under Mexico City date lines telling of the reported death of Eufemio Zapata, brother of Emiliano Zapata, the famous bandit chieftain in the state of Morelos. Ac' cording to "El Heraldo," published in Chihuahua City, the message announc- ing Zapata's death was received from Sub-Secretary Augustin Castro, of the department of war. This account stated that Zapata was killed by anoth- CT bandit leader named Camacho, who shot him three times in the head after Zapata had attacked Camacho's com- mand when they offered to surrender to him.
 "El Paso del Norte," a semi-official Carranza paper published here, said the killing occurred at Tepelixta, Morelos.
