BRITISH CONTROL
T|CR|S TRIBAL GROUP
Albu Muhammad Entity
Readily Submit To Eng
lands Forces

BY Associated Press to The Banner1
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
MESOPOTAMIA, June 2-One of the
great tribal groups of the lower Tigris
has now come completely under Brit
ish control. 1t is known as the Albu
Muhammad. As an Independent enti-
ty the Albu Muhammad are not of an
cient date, but for the last nine gener-
ations they have had a separate exist
ence on the Tigris between Amarah
and Ezra's Tomb, their headquarters
being the little town of Qapat Salih.
The Shaikhs showed no pertinacious
devotion to the Turks, with whom they
had spent most of their lives in active
conflict, and made submission to the
British forces as soon, as they had es-
tablished themselves at 'Amarah. For
the last eighteen months they have
shown themselves reasonably loyal,
willing enough to meet unusual de-
mands for labor on road and railway,
writes the British official eyewitness
with the army.

R.pudIa..d National Debts.

Spain, at one time by far the most
powerful of European nations, was the
earliest power to contract a national
debt, which In 1885 only amounted to
the modest sum OF 100000. BY 1910
1t had grown to f4O,OO0,O00 under Philip
H.. after whose death the whole OF 1t
was repudiated.
France IN l643 began to incur her
debt, chiefly through the wars of Louis
NV. and the lavish expenditure In
building Versailles. In the later years
of Louis XVI, this amounted to f46s.
O000O0, only to be repudiated on the es
adjustment OF the republic. when some
creditors received 3S per cent and
others nothing.

Life Expectancy.

According to the public health serv
ice, life expectancy during infancy and
childhood has increased because of the
more intelligent care Of babies and
young children, but life expectancy aft
er the age of forty is less now than 1t
was thirty years ago, because those
who have arrived at years of discretion
do not exercise discretion for them
selves and take sufficient exercise to
overcome modern conditions. Many
more people are engaged in sedentary
occupations than formerly, which de.
prives them of natural assistance af-

Maximum Selling Price For
Wheat Fixed AT Sl.85
Per Bushel
BUTTER BRINGS SOC
ON BRITISH FRONT
Crops To Fall Shy OF Those
Of Last Year-Beans To
Be Grown

IBy Associated Press to The Bannerl
PARIS, June 1.-The food question
in France is regarded as very serious.
All the measures thus far taken have
failed to assure positively the re-
CURED supply of bread to carry the
country over to the next wheat crop,
and the government has just decided
In special cabinet meeting to require
important sacrifices.
NO more pastry and no more crack
ers or biscuits will be made, except
for the army, after date still to be
fixed. No more highly refined flour
will be tolerated Every miller will be
obliged to leave greater percentage
of bran in his output, and eventually
corn meal rye or barley may be mixed
with the wheat -four to eke out the
supply.
The experiences of the past year in
France have shown the impossibility
of influencing economic conditions by
decree. The maximum selling price
of wheat was fixed at a price equiva-
lent to $1,S5 a bushel, in order to
avoid an increase in the cost Of bread.
The result was a great decrease in
wheat acreage; the farmers preferred
to SOW oats and barley that were not
subject to any limitation and brought
better prices than wheat.
The retail price Of butter on the
Paris market was fixed at the equiva-
lent OF 6S cents a pound Immediate
ly the receipts fell from AZ tons to
less than tons day. The butter
went to the British front where 1t
easily brought 80 cents a pound.
The new minister of subsistence,
Maurice Viollette, removed the limi-
tation and more butter arrived, but the
price went up to dollar a pound at
retail
Most persons interested in the ques.
tion, among them such writer's as SEN
ator Henry Cheron, formerly under
secretary of war, now are of the opn-
ion that neither prices nor supplies
can be affected by decrees that it is
entirely question of production and
economy over which the intermedlar.
les can have only passing control.
This seems to be the conclusion NJ.
Viollette has reached in his short ex-
perience In power.
According TO story, M. Viollette
found high pile OF papers on his desk
when he took charge of the difficult
task OF regulating the cost of living
What are all these documents?" he
inquired.
Those" replied his chief OF staff,
''ars the unanswered questions that
you put to your predecessor In the
chamber"
From all quarters come demands for
n cessation of questions. debates and
cross purpose action, and for q con-
centration of effort upon production.
The wheat crop OF 1917, according
TO estimates gathered by Senator Cher.
on, will be 100000 bushels short OF
that OF 1916 To make up this short.
age II is proposed to increase to the
limit of seeding capacity the acreage
OF oats. barley and potatoes during the
time yet remaining.
Beans may be sown as late as June
IL, and arrangements are being made
for the transportation OF seed to all
regions appropriate for bean culture
that may then remain unseeded.

SCHOOL NOTES
BY Benjamin w. RawIins

AT the chapel program Monday
morning, everything went off very
smoothly. The program was patriotic
in nature and was very interesting,
There were many visitors.
Owing to the size of the crowd that
attends the baccalaureate sermon ev-
cry year, the school management has
decided to have it preached in the
Church of Christ, East Vine street, in
stead of in the M. p. church. Rev. o.
d. Ford of the NJ. p. church will preach
the sermon.
The annual Forum reunion will be
held at the Country club next Friday
evening.
The public schools of the city were
well represented in the Memorial Day
parade. The Third ward obtained the
flag which was offered as prize to
the school having the best marching,
the best attendance and the best be-
havior
The school management is proud of
the attendance of the teachers as well
as the children at the Memorial Day
program. 1t is hoped that, when anoth-
er service of this character takes place,
no teacher will find an excuse not to
be at his or her post of duty, except
sickness. In all matters directly and
Indirectly clearly manifested as duty,
that duty should be performed.
The Second ward school gave spec
ial closing program Friday afternoon.
The program was very interesting and
vas well attended.
The examinations have gone off very
smoothly this week. Most of the stu
dents have been successful in their
years work and will finish the year
out nicely.
