the conduct OF the war.
In indicating that such a committee is

reports Of waste and extravaganza which

Another provision designed to forestall
charges that the move is political would

sue Reply After Receiving Answers
Of Ali RelIiaerents

Rome, Aug. SIT is stated at the
Vatican that Pope Benedict on re-
ceiving President Wilson's reply to his
peace proposals did not attempt to
conceal his bitter disappointment and
that he regards the Presidents answer
as leaving little room for further peace
efforts at present. It has been no Sc
cret here that the Pope hoped for a
more favorable response from the
United States than from anywhere
else.
Before President Wilson's reply was
read it was said at the Vatican that
the responses from the various gov
ernments were expected to be more
favorable than the tone of press COM
ment. At the same time the Pope was
reported to have signifled his inten-
ton Of issuing a reply after receiving
the answers of all the nations at war.

16-ounce leaf for ten cents would pre-
sent a slight reduction in present
prices. Standardization he said would
be hard to bring about.
No move will be made toward the
price reduction. Corby said. until the
food administration had announced its
plans for dealing with the baking IN

the program is ready 1t was learned

Rave been cooperating with Mr..
Hoover and have supplied data and
facts to assist the food administra-
ton in perfecting it's plans relative TO

THE bakers respectfully request the
public to disregard the many ridicu-
lous statements about bread emanat-
ing from unreliable sources and ask
that they await the announcement Of
plans for bread production"
Members of the wheat price commit
tee which recommended the price of
$3.50 fixed by President Wilson for
wheat, declared that after their work
was ended the committee was convinc-
ed it was possible to make and sell
a 14-ounce loaf Of bread for five cents.
MiIers Agree on Profits
The country's millers have agreed to
hold their profits on flour to Is cents
a barrel. Under, this agreement, Mr..
Hoover said, fodr should retail in
New York from s1175 to s1275 a bar
rel. The price of bakers patent -four
to small bakers and retailers, he said.
should be from s1O35 to SLIPS. The av-

New York from April to August has
been s1536. AT present bakers pa

Mr. Hoover made it clear that under
the food control act, except in isolated
instances, the food administration has
no control of prices from the time the
flour reaches the wholesaler until it is
sold by bakers and retailers as bread.
