MILK PRICE NOT TOGO
UP HERE SEPTEMBER |
Dealers Say Winter Schedule NAV
Not Be Expected Before
October l.

Despite the reports from other cities
that further increases in milk prices
are contemplated September l. there
seems to be no likelihood of increase
either in wholesale or retail prices in
Washington before October l.
This action is in accord with the re-
quest OF Herbert c. Hoover made both
to producers and retailers, that no fur
Their changes be made before October |.
Though October l is the date at which
the winter price usually goes into ef-
feet In Washington. 1t was feared that
increased cost of production, reported
by the producers, might lead to an
earlier increase. Only recently milk
went to II cents a quart, and even
higher for certain special brands.
Retailers today said they had no in
timation from producers or any carrier
change than October l. They said
they had no intimation as yet what
the winter prices would be. but that
they probably would go considerably
over the "a to IS cents now being paid
the price per gallon will be will be
determined by fluctuations in the cost
of feed and fodder during September.
Mr.. Hoover's idea in requesting that
no raises be made until october. it was
explained at the food administration,
was that the price-fixing now going on
might result in lowering the cost of
corn. fodder and various mill feeds. SO
that the winter raise might be con-
stderably lessened No hope is ex-
pressed by wholesalers who have talked
to retailers here that the necessity for
an increase will be eliminated alto
gether Retailers say that their win
ter prices will depend upon that
charged them by the producers.
The present wholesale prices either

JAPANESE MISSION SEES
STUDENT OFFICERS DRILL
Visitors From Nippon Cheer Regi-
ment Marshaled at First
Retreat" Ceremony.

Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott. chief of stan,
reviewed the 1850 men who have gone
into training at the second camp for
reserve officers at Fort Myer. at their
first retreat" drill last night, and eX-
pressed satisfaction that a fine body
OF clean-cut, earnest and stalwart men
has been assembled.
Members of the japanese mission. in
Guiding Viscount Ishii. Maj. Gen.
Sugano and Vice Admiral Takeshita.
were interested spectators of this first
drill of the men wha are to be nodded
into officers to lead the United States
Army against the kaiser's legions
Marshaled into line for the first time
the training regiment won vigorous ap-
piause for its fine appearance from the
Japanese mission. Others in the Japa-
nese party were: Maj. Tanikawa of the
imperial Japanese army; Commander
Ando of the Japanese navy, Matsuzo
Nagai of the foreign office and Tas-
hiro Owaku. secretary to the mission.
That the War Department intends to
keep close tabs on the progress OF the
embryo officers is shown by the fact
that Lieut.. Col. Charles w. Fenton, the
five reports during the period of training
on the work performed by the Regular
Army and National Army officers. and
the civilian student officers assigned to
the camp. The first report on the eff
cheney or lack thereof displayed by the
officers and each individual candidate
will be made September IS. the other
four will be made each fifteen days
thereafter.
Recognition of the fact that the living
cost is mounting is found in the daily
ration allowance of so cents instead of the
30 cents allowed at the first camp for the
student officers.
Thirty-three men appointed to this
camp failed to answer the summons.
and their alternates have been noti-
fed to present themselves. Only one
of these was from the District of CO.
lumbia.
Several innovations have been intro
duced. based on first camp experiences.
Instead of waiting until the end OF the
first month. the regiment has already
been divided into nine companies of in
fantry and three batteries of light ar
tillery.
At the first camp 200 men were
trained as a troop of dismounted cav
airy. This arm of the service has been
abolished SO far as the second group of
provisional regiments are concerned
Preliminary drill preparatory to start
ing the men at specialized training in
their chosen branch will be cut down
from one month to ten days.

night he believes S21 .000. 900. 900 will be
asked for to carry the government
through to June 80, 1918. the end of the
present fiscal year. This is $4,000, 600
900 greater than any previous estimate.
and it is just $4,000. 100000 which Rep
resentative kitchin believes viii be
necessary as slight margin of
safety"
This estimate covers $1,000, 900, 600 for
loans to the allies, S1.3000 900, 600 for cur
rent expenses and 100000 100000 for
war expenses. The balance Is for mar

is SILENT ON ANSWER
TO THE POPE'S LETTER
Secretary Lansing Refuses to Deny
or Affirm That Reply of U. S.
Has Been Sent.

Secretary Lansing. in response to
questions today, would neither deny
nor affirm that reply to Pope Bene-
diets peace proposals had gone for
ward from the United States. Mr.. Lans-
ing's refusal to discuss the subject,
however, was not interpreted as mean
ing that a reply is on its way, because
he previously had taken the position
that the best interests of the United
States would be conserved by no dis
cussion of the subject in the newspa-
pers at this time.
1t was generally expected that the
subject would be discussed at today
cabinet meeting and that the govern
ment has by this time had the advan-
tage of knowing what replies would be
made by the entente allies. ObvioNsly
the United States will be in the posi-
tion of indorsing some of the things
the Pope says. for they are nothing less
than principles previously enunciated
by President Wilson. There is no
change, however. in the opinion that
Pope Benedict's proposals offer moth
ing to proceed or while Germany as
sumes the role of victor.
