All Lines of One Concern for Delivery Next Fall Called in, Action
 Unexpected.
IS PREPAREDNESS MOVE
Clearing Decks for the Probable Orders of
 United States in
 Case of War.

BOSTON. Feb. 2S.-The American Woolen Company has withdrawn ol 1T it's lines of goods for next fall de-. livery. the selling season for which 1as been under way for several ~ceks. The action comes rather Jn- axpectedly and at 8 time when tao manufacturing clothier5 are under 5tood to have contracted for onE rom so tO S5 per cent of their full requirements.
 The decision or the American Woolen Co. is construed primarily IS preparedness move to clear tSe lecks for a probable wave of cloth ng orders from the government in he event Of hostlities with Ger many. There is small doubt that ii m army is recruited heavy order will have Co be handled by the big woolcn concern as with the eNcep lion of Pennsylvania mill, it alone s able 10 turn out certain classes If cloth for military wear.
 To equip an army of 100000 men would uccessitatc the production Of tome l5.OO0OOO yards of overcoat- 'ngs. shlrdDgs, suits end blankets md would take all the capacity o' he Woolen Company for the next 'Our months.
 Coming at a time when the Amer, can Woolcu Co. has rising of S3O- 100000 of thrilled orders. it is ob. viously the part of wisdom to go low on further commercial bookings. \ declaration of war would act like bellows upon a manufacturing con rn;on already blown to nearly it, limit.
 War or no war, the price of goods 's likely 10 rise. The withdrawal of it's lines by the American WOoien Co. is always very effective nric" ,uriener and in any event the rising orlce Of wool dcu to it's shortage would necessitato advances. Impor.s If wool have dropped off acutcly rom South America ami there is no ,nowing when supplies will be avail oble from the Australian clip whi'L Great Britain has just taken over n it's entirety at cost of nearly $50 100000.

FOOD MEASURE PASSES HOUSE
DRY CLAUSE INCLUDED IN BILL
AS FINALLY ADOPTED.
Carries Appropriation of $152,500,000
for Enforcement and Administra-
tlon-Vast Power to President.

Washington, June 25-The admin
istration food control bill, giving the
President broad authority to control
the distribution of food, feed and fuel
for war purposes and appropriating
$152, 100000 for it's enforcement and
administration, has been passed by the
House after far-reaching prohibition
provisions had been written into it.
The vote was 365 to 5, Representa-
tives McLemore, Slayden and Young
Of Texas, Democrats, and Weeker,
Missouri and Ward, New York, Repub-
licans, voting in the negative.
Provides for Prohibition.
Prohibition provisions adopted would
prevent use of foodstuffs for manufac-
ture of alcoholic beverages and would
give the President authority to take
on hand. The bill now goes to the
Senate where it probably will be sub
stituted for similar measure already
under consideration. Leaders hope to
get the measure to conference by the
first of July.
The most important changes made
by the House outside the prohibition
section were limiting the control pow
ers of the President to articles speci-
f1cally mentioned by the bill and sub
jecting voluntary aids in control work
to the penal provision.
Whiskey Seems Doomed. .
Retention by the Senate of drastic
prohibition amendments added by the
House or at least of provisions pro-
hibiting use of foodstuffs in manufac-
turing distilled spirits, is deemed
probable. The principal fight on the
prohibition question Is expected to
come over permitting manufacture of
malt liquors and wines. Senate SEN
timent against further manufacture
of whiskey, brandy and other distilled
spirits is widespread, but many "dry"
senators oppose extending the prohi-
bition to beer and wines.

Economx.

An amateur gardener of IrvingtOn
has learned to shave his potatoes and
plant them, too" and his plan may af-
ford a suggestion to others who are
planting gardens in back yards and va
cant lots.
In place of cutting the potato up in
the usual way-into as many pieces as
there are eyeS-the IrvingtOnian
simply peels the potatoes, cutting
little deeper where the eyes occur.
Thus the part of the potato which
clings to the peeling hanging to the eye
will afford nOurishment for the plant
until it takes root, and he saves about
half the inside of the potato for the
pot.
He took the hint from an old negro
who has had such success In raising
potatoes that his "tater patch" is
famed in his neighbOrhOod.-Indi

10000 MEN ARE WANTED AT ONCE
TO BRING ARMY TO FULL
WAR STRENGTH BY
JUNE 80.
HALF MILLION VOLUNTEER
IN PAST THREE MONTHS
Present Recruiting Is for First Line
Troops Who VIII Be First Ameri-
cans to Face German Hosts
To Be Bone and Sinew of
Pershing's Army.

Washington, June 25. - More than
half a million men have volunteered
in the American army and navy in
less than three months. Between
100000 and 100000 are enrolled and
most of them are armed, equipped and
under training. They will be Joined
at the end Of the summer by nearly
100000 men from the millions who
registered June 5.
Regular Army 100000 Men.
The regular army is nearing the
100000 mark and the War department
officials backed by the press, are try
ing to bring it up to 100000 at once.
The national guard numbers nearly
100000, nearly $4,000 actually under
arms, guarding against German plot
ters in thorough way,aas shown by
the trivial damage the plotters have
been able to inflict.
The regular bluejacket force Of the
navy, who already are trying their
mettle against the enemy in the wa
ters off the Irish coast under Vice Ad-
miral Sims, or upon armed American
freighters, has been raised from less
than $4,000 to 100000.
10000 Join Engineers.
An entirely new force of railway
engineers for duty in France to handle
railway problems behind the fighting
lines, also has been created. Probably
10000 men already have joined these
regiments.
Forty thousand picked men are I'M
der strenuous training at the officers
training camps. Other thousands are
doing their share at the Medical corps
and Engineers corps training camps,
and others with the naval coast de-
Tense reserve are keeping the Atlantic
coast free from the submarine menace
and assuring clear road for cargo
carriers which are taking thousands of
tons of American war supplies and
food to the French, Belgians, British
and Italians.
Immediate Need Is for Regulars.
The immediate need, administration
officials believe, is to bring the regu-
lar army up to it's full strength with
out delay.
These are the first line troops, the
men who will be the first Americans
to face the German hosts. They will
be the bone and sinew of General Per-
shing's army.
President Wilson has designated the
present week as recruiting week for
the regulars. Secretary Baker has
sought the aid of all newspapers to
the end that 10000 men shall be. en-
rolled before June 80.

Copenhagen, June 25.-The period Of
intense heat continues, according to re-
ports from Berlin, over the greater
part of Germany. Berlin experienced
heat Wednesday exceeded only three
times in 20 years and then in mid-July.

have had most unfavorable effect on
the yield of fruit and particularly of
early vegetables, which this year are
of special Importance owing to the dis
