One Division of
Troops Assured

One division of 10000 men has
been definitely assigned to Amer
lean lake.
1t is probable that one more di-
vision will be added, bringing the
total number of men to be as
sembled at the lake to between
$4,000 and 10000.
This was the situation today as
learned from official sources in
the midst of rumors and reports
following the announcement that
the war department had revised
the plan for training the war army
and that the half million men to
be called to the colors in Septem-
Der would be concentrated in 16
environments, of which American
lake is one, instead of 80.
Six Sites Approved.
Reduction of the number OF
camps is expected to increase,
rather than diminish the number
of men to be stationed at the lake.
The logical result of reducing
the number Of camps will be the
apportionment of large number
of troops to each camp.
The war department today APP
proved six sites for divisional can
Torment camps, according to
United Press dispatches from
Washington. After the change
in plans the sites already picked
were reviewed and today's an
|nouncement came as the final de-
cision.

DEALERS
INDICTED

LGahSu vNEesD
CHICAGO, June 2.-Sixteen
individuals and nine firms dealing
in butter and eggs were indicted
by the federal grand jury this aft
ernoon for alleged violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
The indictments, which were
returned before Federal Judge
Lands, charged that the defend
ants have been dealing in eggs
for future delivery; that the re-
ports of trades as made on the
butter and egg board have been
sent throughout the United States
and that the sellers of eggs
throughout the country have based
their prices on the quotations of
the Chicago exchange Gin the be-
lief that such quotations reflect
the true market conditions at Chi
cago."
The charges aHege that "in or
der to accomplish their purpose
and to produce quotations for eggs
on the exchange higher than the
true market price, the defendants
adopted and followed a practice
of making fictitious purchases and
sales of eggs among themselves at
prices higher than the true mar
ket price prevailing at the time of
such purchases, without intend
ing that the eggs should be de-
livered."
As result of the operations
the people have been paying high
er prices than they would have
been paying If this practice had
been stopped.

HUNDRED
TRAITORS
BAGGED!


WASHINGTON, June Zone
hundred alleged anti-conscription
or anti-resistration plotters had
been bagged by the department OF
justice up to early today with still
other arrests ahead.
Activities of the plotters seemed
for the moment to have been
dulled by fear of the law, but evil
dence in possession of federal
agents indicated that Monday will
see new outbursts.
Attorney General Grogeroy
however, was inclined to take a
more optimistic view of matters
today than at any time since the
sinister plotting started. This
does not mean that the depart
ment is relaxing its vigilance.
On the other hand, realizing
that the worst of the plots may be
ahead the federal agents increased
their hunt in every corner of the
nation.
Officials estimate that the num-

Omitted Press Leased wire.p
WASHINGTON, ID. e.,
June 2.--tive divisions Of
national guardsmen-abOu
125, 900 men-will be In Flu
rope by the time snow flies,
II plans under consideration
by the army general staff to-
day are adopted.
Action on these plans Is expect
ed either today or early next week,
and the fact that they are now
before the staff explains the rea-
sons behind abandonment of half
of the proposed environments OF
the army and guard.
The staff Is understood to look
favorably upon the plan, though
there Is the practical difficulty OF
transporting such a large number
of troops before, say, November.
Even a fairly large transport
| ship will accommodate comfort
ably scarcely more than 1000
| men.
Would BE Trained Abroad.
While the plans have not been
| fully worked out, they contem-
plate in general way only
scratching the surface in the mat
ter of training in American tent
camps, leaving the real hard in
tensive work either to canton
ments in Great Britain or to train
ling classes in France.
In case the troops were sent to
France they would be located in
French towns behind the lines,
and the necessity for supplying a
heavy shortage of tenting could
be obviated
AS the plans stand the war de-
partment would pick the best
trained of United States national
guardsmen for the service. They
would supplement the one divis-
ion of regulars under Gen. Persh-
ling already arranged for.
Soon I'm Service.
III transports can be provided,
there is practically no opposition
to sending the men aboard before
winter.
They might even be seasoned
land trained to get in on the last
of the autumn drive and certain
ly would be fit for the meager win
ter service and for the spring
drive.
In making plans for this addi-
tional force, the war department
is taking into consideration that
a single division OF the regular
army is only drop in the buck
et," whereas five divisions supple
menting that one, could make q
real impression on the western
front, both from a military and
physiological standpoint.
Surprise to Capital.
1t is the idea of the army Off.
GERS to retain the bulk of the reg
ular army in the United States TO
train the new selective service
army.
The plans for sending the ma
! tional guard abroad, made known
definitely today for the first time,
came as a surprise here, as It had
been supposed America would
send no troops other than the
Pershing division abroad in much
less than years time.

How a Real Market Works
BY E. A. Peters

1.-THE only way you can
prevent the commission
men from gouging the pub
lie with high food prices is
by establishing market
where farmers and food
producers can sell direct to
the consumer.
1--WE didn't think such a
market would be success
in Seattle, but after 10
years development, can
say that our municipal
farmers markets are the
greatest things ever started
here for the benefit of the
people,"
That's what Mayor Hiram G.
Gill had to say yesterday about
the Seattle markets. With Com
missioner Petit of Tacoma, | had
Just completed an exhaustive in
vestigation of the Seattle NUM-
cipal markets. We had studied
the prices of farm produce in Sc
attic, conduct of the markets, and
the sentiment of the farmers and
public regarding them.
Seattle has been able in 1C
years to bring the farmers and
housewives in direct contact.
1t has reduced prices on vege-
tables, meats and other COM
modities to a point almost exactly
one-half the rate demanded by
downtown merchants in Tacoma
for the same foods.
Why Not in Tacoma?
There is no reason why Taco
ma should not take advantage Of
Seattle's long study of the prob
lem, and establish farmers mar
ket here along similar lines.
Before we worked out a plar
where the farmers could deal will
