Soldier Says Camp
Charlotte All Right
Nothing to Worry Over

A letter has been received by Mrs.
Walter L. Spaulding from VIII G. Mac
Rae of Camp Greene, Charlotte, tell
ing of conditions with the boys in the
army.
He says that the stories in the pa
pers about conditions at Charlotte

worry about. he thinks the people
must have more confidence in Col. May
who is devoting his every minute to
the care of the boys.
Mr. MadRae also says that the army
sanitay authorities, with the help of
Charlotte offisials are cleaning house.
Although there is occasional reports of
sickness, he suggests that with $4,000
troops camped, there would naturally
be some, sickness, just as there would
be with $4,000 men in civil life. He
writes: 81 venture to say that if one
took a survey of an Oregon town with
q population of $4,000, they would not

the whole town was stricken.
In regard to the accident Of Lieuten-

Spaulding had an accident with the
little black horse shortly after his ar

seriously injured. He limped around

The newspaper Taeglische Rund

Michaelis does not regard his resigna

from London quoted a wireless press
dispatch from Amsterdam as stating
that Chancellor Michaelis had tender

would seem to confirm this report.

FOOD ADMINISTRATION
TELL OF BRITISH Bread
Explain Why Bread Is Sold
Cheaper in England Than
Over Here

Washington, Oct. 25.-The English
consumer buys bread made from Ameri-
can wheat at nearly half the price Am
ericans pay here because British gov
ernment subsidy keeps the prices down.
Also the English bread is only sixty
five per cent as pure as American. No
American food product is being sold in
England as cheaply as in the United
States unless under government sub
sidy.
This explanation was made, today by
the food administration. 1t was made
after attention had been called to I'm.
tied Press figures from London which
showed the English housewife is actual
ly paying lower prices for many staples
than the American housewife is obliged
to pay.
England fixed maximum Wholesale
and retail prices in manner impossible
under American law, the food admins
tration pointed out. Its statement, ex-
clusively to the United Press, flayed
certain American retail dealers.
"The price asked for sugar by some
merchants is without justification, it
said. "Nany retailers are conducting
their business on proper lines and the
whole trade must not be condemned for
few pirates"
The reasons for England's lower food
prices on many necessities Of Efe were
given thus:
The prices Of practically all essentials
foods in England are now under gov
ernment control, with profits for hand
ling fixed very closely upon pre-war
basis.
While it is true that England is SELL
ing bread cheaper than in the United
States, it is only because the govern
ment is making up the difference by
subsidy. The government, makes good
an absolute loss on every loaf Of bread
that passes oyer the counter at the

FEAR OF INSANITY
CAUSE OF REJECTION

Mental Condition Of Men
In Draft Army
By George Martin

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Oct. 25.-From one aud
one half to five per cent OIL all Amer
lean troops thus far examined have
been discharged because war service
abroad probably would drive them in
sane.
That statement is made on the au-
thority Major Pearce Bailey, medic
al reserve corps. Disclosure of those
figures today show the first concrete
result of Surgeon General Gorgas' de-
termination to weed out the potential

aminers would overlook,
Among British troops where this
forehanded wedding out was not done,
Major Bailey declared, one seventh of
all discharges are due to mental or
nervous disorders.
The diseases for which these sanity
specialists look include mental defects,

tential insanity and venerally diseased

Many of>these borderland cases,
Bailey said, were caught by examina-

EDISON SPENDS WEEKS
AT SEA IN HIS EFFORT
TO DEFEAT U-BOATS

Orange, N. j., Oct. 25-Thomas A.
Edison, the veteran inventor, has spent
the last ten weeks on the high seas,
striving to perfect some means Of de-
feating the submarine, his laboratories
announced today. He is now back
|" somewhere in America" with the
results of his studies and experiments.
First news that the electrical wiz
ard had carried his search to the seas
was made in a brief statement by Will
liam Maxwell, vice president of Thorn
as A. Edison, Incorporated, and gener-
al manager Of the musical phonograph
department, today. 1t was in eonnee-
ton with stirring appeal to the Am
erican people, written by Edison him
self, that they buy liberty bonds.
Pleads for Liberty Bonds

ed at his plant from somewhere in
America, " where Edison is now work

who fought to make this country free
and have branded as towards and trail

PROPERTY OF CENTRAL.
ALLIES TO Be SEIZED
Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria
! On Same Basis As Germany
Says Mitchell

Washington, Oct. 25.--All holdings Of
subjects of Bulgaria, Turkey and Aus
tria in the United States will be seized
together with Germans property. A.
Mitchell Palmer, alien property Gus
todian, announced today.
Palmer's decision regards Bulgaria,
Turkey and Austria as enemies, although
the United States has never formally
declared war against these three al
lilies of Germany. His ruling followed q
series of conferences with treasury de.
partment officials, at which the scope
of trading with the enemy act was care
fully studied.
Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria have
vast stores Of war supplies in the I'm
tied States. These, as in the case Of the
German property, will be affected by
Palmer's new ruling. The dividends
from their investments also will be turn
ed over to the treasury department for
investment in future liberty loans.
Announcement is expected shortly Of
local officers who enforced the act in
all the principal industrial and shipping
centers of the country.
Any sort of property belonging to
agents or citizens of these countries lie

All meats in England are under gov

ces fixed and profits allowed retailers
