North Dakota bread profiteers''
are exacting a SO per cent margin oi

states--Minnesota, South Dakota ard

signed statement issued today, warn

persist in garnering exorbitant pro-

DIR. Ladd's statement follows:
Price OF Bread.
Information comes from Wash

to IL ounces is retailed in North
Dakota at 10 cents per loaf. The
same report shows that like
weights Of bread retail in Mime
sofa at 10.S cents; in Montana at
10 cents and South Dakota at 10
cents per loaf
/ am asked to investigate and
report the reason for this. My
answer win be that there is no
excuse for 1t ana the sooner the
bakers and dealers realize that
they are going to get prosecuted
and their licenses taken away
from them IL they do not quit
profiteering on the bread PROPOSE
tion, the safer lie will be for them.
IL the price is above what you
can defend anywhere along the
line, then the man. or men, who
get the extra profit are doing so

In the main, the North Dakota
food prices range very closely to
those in Minnesota, with the excep-
ton Of the bread price.
AS between Minnesota and North
Dakota, the price range Is about a

American Prisoners and the
Red Cross

Lord Northcliffe yesterday remind
ed the American people that with
the inevitable taking of American
prisoners in the battles on the west
ern front, there must be mad, pro
vision for their food supplies, as at
is the policy of the German govern
ment to place the onus of feeding
her war prisoners upon the country
from which those prisoners come"
The mistakes of England in leaving
the furnishing of supplies to volun-
tary and unorganized effort were
graphically pointed out.
There are now some 120 American
prisoners in Germany, including the
seventy-four American sailors cap
tured by the raider Moewe. These
are being cared for now by the
American Red Cross Society of
Berne, Switzerland, of which Mrs.
Pleasant Stovall, wife of the Ameri-
can minister, is president, and Mrs.
Ethel Hugli-Camp, a Washington
woman, is, secretary. The first sup
plies sent were seventy-four pack
ages of food and clothing for the
prisoners captured by the Moewe.
But, with the landing of the regu-
lars and the national guard, and the
new army in France, and the en-
gagements that will follow with the
enemy, the work of the Red Cross in
supplying the needs of the prisoners
will be multiplied a thousandfold. In
addition to all that has been said
about the care of the wounded and
the dying, this fact should make its
renewed appeal to the citizens Of the
nation and of the Nations Capital
City this week. 1t is a great task
that is given to the American Red
Cross. Let the funds for its ade-
quate performance be not withheld!

Neutral Claims Upon Food

Worry over the prospect that
America will cut off their food i'm
portations possesses the countries
forming Germany's surrounding zone
of neutrals. They are bestirring
themselves: anything they can do or
say to prevent the calamity to which
they are apparently destined, they
will be sure to try.
The Swedish commercial mission
now in Washington is engaged in
presenting the attitude of Sweden
toward imports and exports Of food
and merchandise and in regard to
neutrality, a question closely bound
up with that of shipments to Ger
many. The Swedish efforts are a
sample of what the various neutrals
in question are trying to do. The
government of the Netherlands has
limited that unless allowed to con-
tinue food importations on an ample
scale, it may be forced to withdraw
the aid of its ports and railroads,
hitherto available for Belgian relief.
Switzerland likewise reminds US of
the services she has performed in
caring for interned refugees.
These moves and others which
may be expected do not affect the
main question. There is no occasion
to ignore the humane acts that the
neutrals have performed. America
is not distributing rewards or pun
ishments among them. 1t is a cues
ton of making Americas food go
around where it is most needed, in a
season where there threatens not to
be enough for all. This country's al
lies hold a preferred claim on its
food resources. Neutrals, above all
neutrals who trade. with Germany,
must not expect America to starve
the warriors for the benefit of those
who do not help her cause.

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
This is my first attempt to use
your columns, and I am opposed to
giving any opinion on less important
matters, but on an outrage such as
happened at our White House yester-
day, 1 deem it altogether fitting and
proper that l should take this action.
Up until this moment / have looked
upon women as something super

thing to honor. Although 1 realize 1
cannot include all women, my just
appraisal OF women in general is
greatly deprecated. To the National
Woman's Party l would suggest that
they heed the following advice:
In this time of great sacrifice IL is
up to each and every one of US to
give up something which we have
been accustomed to. Most of US are
doing SO. But there are many kinds
of slackers today. To be a sIacke-
one must shirk his or her Just duty.
The members of the National Wom-
ans Party are "slackers" They can
not and will not sacrifice the cause
for which they have been working
and sew shirts for soldiers. They
cannot discontinue their displaying
OF obnoxious, insulting banners,
which could be better used for cloth

Can you not lay aside your cause as
have the women of England? They
had accomplished nothing: you have.
Their sacrifice is the greater. think
IT is fitting for you to change the
name OF your organization to the
