 It was in March. 1916. that Won Cap ellie was appointed to the position held previously by the advocate of unre- strained submarine warfare, Won TIT pitz. He had been regarded as the collaborator of Von Tirpitz in the or ganization of German naval construc- ton and to have been trained thor oughly in the Won Tirpitz ideas. While his appointment was not considered of importance in it's relation to U-boat warfare, it is a matter of record that he has appeared on numerous occasions before the Reichstag to assure that body that the most optimistic state ments might be accepted regarding the progress of an unrestricted submarine campaign. -l'Ie N Y.

ice, Was Terror to Lawlessness.

Capt. John c. Daley. for thirty-one
years one Of Washington best known
policemen, during which period he
commanded the Ninth precinct for
fifteen years, died yesterday after

GRONNA APPROVES
GOVERNMENT MARKET
Says Districts Food Passes Through
Too Many Hands.

The adoption OF the French system
OF marketing farm products through
licensed auctioneers or commission
men whose charges are fixed by the
government Is advocated by Senator
Gronna, OF North Dakota, as a means
OF checking the rising prices charged
for food in the District of Columbia
I'VE know what is the matter with
the system OF marketing without any
further investigation" said Senator
Gronna. I'VE know that the food is
passing through too many hands, each
OF which must take its toll \ very
much smaller number OF distributors
could do the business in Washington.
and II the number were decreased
they would not have to charge such
high prices. As II is, they have to
charge high prices TO come out whole.
Too many men are trying to make a
living out OF the distribution OF food
and they are doing business on a very
small scale.
We know the remedy for the evils
of the present system. 1t is only a
question Of applying the remedy. II
you suggest Government owned and
operated city markets, Congressman
will tell you that is Socialism, and
they wonder how far such a thing
will go once 1t is started.
There can be no question that the
government has not been paying
enough attention to the question of
securing an ecOomical system of city
markets."
Explaining the Halles Centrales. as
the great city market in Paris is
known, Senator Gronna pointed out
that the dealers In this market, many
features of which could be adopted
by Washington to advantage. are re-
quired to show thtat they have never
been convicted of crime, TO give bond,
and most important OF all to keep
faithful record OF every sale they
make and the address OF the pur-
chaser. together with the price the
stun sold for.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

New York. July E.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Trade conditions present mid-sum-
mer characteristics, coupled with a
certain quantity Of conservatism over
the eventual shape government price
fixing will take, but the total vol
ume OF business, expressed in physt-
cal as well as monetary terms, Is
certainly above the nomal seasonal
average, and on the whole favorable
reports outnumber those Of a con-
trary tenor. Agreement is general
that fall trade will assume large pro-
portions and underneath the wait
ing attitude that Is temporarily dis
played while legislators are debating
the subject Of price control, is a
strong tendency to make prepara-
tons for q prosperous autumn. In
a way this virtual marking Of time
Is akin to that of a buyer who holds
on for better prices. but aside from
these crops currents the breathing
spell will enable producers to catch
up on orders and in a large sense
the respite. such as 1t is is doubly
welcome. However. retail trade has
improved, thanks to warm weather,
though as for sometime past the
wants OF ClNllldnS as uiSllus uisncu
from those OF soldiers are being COW

camps and cantonments cause large
