FLAT FEET WILL NOT DIsoUALIFY
Gen. Crowder Calls Attention to Army
Physical Regulations.

Washington, Aug. 24,-Flat feet dc
not necessarily disqualify man for
army service. Provost Marshal General
crowder, in telegram to governors yes.
terday, called attention to the army
physical regulations, which specify that
"a broad fiat sole is common in laboring
classes, particularly among negroes, and
Is in no way disabling"
'In the fat foot which renders man
unfit for service" the regulations ex-
plain, 'the arch is so far gone that the
entire body rests upon the ground, with
the inner ankle lowered and very prom
inent and the foot apparently pushed
outward"
General Crowder said in his telegram
there would be no necessity for the null
titude of questions asked by local
boards if they would observe the pro-
vision of the regulations that physical
deficiencies must be present in such de-
gree as TO clearly and Enthusiastically dis
qualify the man for military service
before he can be found to be physically
deficient and not physically qualified for
military service"

SPORTING NOTES.

Wednesdays game between Pittsburl
and Brooklyn, which Brooklyn beat by
the score of 6 to 5, broke the long dis
tanee record of 81 innings, which was
set by Pittsburg and New York in 1914
Brooklyn knocked Cooper out of the box
in the seven innings while Jacobs fin
ished the game. Galore was knocked
out in five innings, while Cheney pitched
from the 9th to the goth inclusive, al
though Marquard finished the game.
Konetchy appears to be the batting
hero of the Boston Braves this year, as
the star first baseman keeps hitting all
pitchers alike. He had three hits out
of three times at bat, including two
three base hits, to his credit in the Bos-
ton-St. Louis game Wednesday.
Wild throws cost Washington the sec
ond game Of Wednesdays double header

were made, seven of which. were wild

Although Detroit only secured two hits
against the New York pitchers in

teams, while New York had eight, De

the game the two teams drilled in the
American league contest TO decide the
winner of the $500 prize offered for the
best drilled team of the league.

BOSTON LINER
DEVONIAN SUNK
Big Cargo Carrier U-Boat Victim Near
British Isle on Way
Here

Boston, Aug. ga report was re-
ceived in Boston yesterday afternoon
that the Leyland liner Devonian has been
sunk by a U.boat near the British isles.
The steamer had been for years in the
Boston Liverpool service, and was one
of the largest cargo carriers sailing in
and out of this port. She was bound to
Boston and was in command of Captain
Trant.
The report was confirmed by the Bos-
ton agent of the international Mercantile
Marine company, owners of the Devon
ian. w. E. Stevenson, the Boston man
ager, stated that he was absolutely
without detail of the sinking
The liner was torpedoed while on her
way from Liverpool to Boston. The fact
that she was coming and not going
makes big difference in the valuation
of the property loss. The ship WAS
worth well over 81 10000 Coming back
to Boston she generally carried light
cargo, not to be compared in value
with the cargo she ordinarily took out of
Boston.
The Devonian was vessel of labs tons
gross, 5521a feet long and 50 feet beam.
She was built at Belfats, Ireland, in 1900
She was commanded by Captain A. "
w. Trant.
Before the war the Devonian was one
Of the most popular passenger liners run
ming to and from Boston. OF late she
had carried only freight, and conse-
huently she carried comparatively
small crew, numbering about 80 officers
and men.
She last sailed from Boston on July |
rs, bearing an enormously valuable car
go, consisting largely of war munitions.

This message supplements dispatches re.

President to Take Immedi-
ate Action, 1t Is Off
cially Announced
TRADE COMMISSION
GIVES FIGURES
1t Is Impossible to Fix a
Flat Rate on
Steel

Washington, d. c., Aug. 24.-President
Wilson gave consideration yesterday TO
the problem of naming coal admins
traitor and the fixing of wholesale and
retail bituminous coal prices Anthra-
cite coal will be taken up next, it is
understood, and prices fixed for that
product. A speedy disposition of the
task of formulating a definite policy to
control the nations fuel supply is ex-
pected by officials. The presidents visit
to the federal trade commission on
Wednesday, when the whole subject of
prices and production costs was gone
over, will hasten the completion of the
work. Coal operators throughout the
country have been asked by the Nation
al Coal Operators association to meet in
Pittsburg Wednesday to discuss the sit.
uation.
The trade commissions steel inyestiga-
tion indicates it will be almost impos-
sible to fix a price for steel, as was done
with coal. Varying costs in different
plants make it impracticable to establish
a fiat rate.
1t is indicated that the president also
has under consideration the appointment
of an administrator to fix the price of
copper as well as one TO fix the price of
coal. 1t is not believed that there will
be steel price administrator.
At a three hour conference with the
federal trade commission, President Will |
son took up the whole subject of war
prices and went over in detail the com
missions figures on production costs.
Most of the time was given to study /
of the commissions report just com
pleted on the cost of producing steel.
Further measures to control the coal
came in for discussion and it
was learned later that the recent order
fixing scale of prices for coal at the
mouth of the mine for the entire coun-
Try will be followed closely by others
designed to give the government com
,lete control of the industry, from mine
% consumer.
For several days now the president has
given his attention almost entirely to
he work the federal trade commission is
LONG. Officials with whom he has con-
ulted believe definite price policy will
'e formulated very soon. All coal mat
ers probably win be finally disposed of ,
irst and steel next.
To extend the governments control
'yer coal the president has yet to fix
'ituminous wholesale and retail prices
nd must issue regulations governing
distribution and apportionment as be-
ween different parts of the country.
anthracite prices then will be fixed h
throughout the industry. At present |,
