H0OVER SAYS CANNOT TX PRICES
 FIR MEAT AND DAIRY PRODUCTS

There is nothing that can be done to stop the rise in meat prices if the shortage continues, but if we stabilize prices the rise will move at continu- ous level. Producers must have a price that will stimulate production and must get that price, though there can be no government guarantee and I see no way to bring about a volun- tary agreement as to the prices that should be paid.
 T doubt if legislation to guarantee producers minimum price is wise and in meat I believe it is impossible to accomplish this"
 Many of those attending the confer ence expressed the opinion that prices might be stabilized through centraliza- ton of the allies purchasing.
 The evening session was devoted to a general discussion of means to be adopted in improving cattle breeds. Speakers urged that the proposed eX- pansion of the industry be accompa- nied by an elimination of inferior stock in both meat producing and dairy herds.
 Attention was called to the fact that in Holland, milch cows have been pro ducing 5000 pounds of milk annually while the corresponding figure for this country is in the neighborhood of 4,000 pounds.

WASHINGTON, Sept 6.-The war credits bill authorizing s11 ,53S, 945, ,460 in bonds and certificates passed the house tonight unanimously. Action by the senate as soon as the pending war tax bill is disposed of is planned by ad- ministration leaders. Not material amendment was added to the bill by the house. Representative Moore of Pennsylvania, led group of republi- cans in futile fight for consideration of his proposal for d war expenditure committee which was thrown out on a point of crder
 Every effort of republicans to limit the control the bill would give Secre- tary McAdoo over the bonds and cer- tificates resulted in failure. The last fight, made by Representative John- son of Washington, to direct the secre- tary to spend at least $2500,0O0 for newspaper advertising in disposing oi the bonds was defeated overwhelming 1 ly. If the secretary desires, under the measure, he may use some of the ST. 600.OO0 appropriated for disposing of all, the bonds and certificates in news paper publicity.
 Representative Cannon of Illinois managed to obtain the adoption Of a compromise amendment to exempt iron taxation forever interest on bonds not 1 ill excess of S5,000. He wanted to make l 1t s10,0Oo but Democratic Leader Kitch. ] Tn would not agree to that.

 SENATE ON MONDAY
Republican A. F. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.-The war tax bill dragged slowly in the sen ate today toward the final vate set for next Monday. Preparatory to dispo- sition tomorrow of the income tax sec tion, minor amendments to facilitate their collection were added and the rest of the day was spent in speech makiRg,s largely on subjects foreign to the bill
 ln peIfecting the surtax rates of the income section, the finance com mittee presented new estimates of in- come tax revenues. As now drawn, with the addition of the so-called Ger ry and Lenroot amendments, it is esti- mated that $S42, ,000 900 additional will be secured from incomes-$4S2,2 ,200,0 900 from individuals and s360,000,000 from corporations.
 Of the former s393, ,070,000 is expect ed from surtaxes on large incomes and 9030 900 from the new normal rates.
 The first vote tomorrow will be on an amendment by Senator LaFollette to increase the levy on individual in comes to $643, ,653, 900, largely by spread ing out surtax rates. If that is re- Jected, Senator Hollis win advance his amendment to raise the levy to S557 900 00O
 A new complica tion was added to the income tax contest late today by Senator LaFollette's announcement that he intended to offer an amendment to increase all surtaX rates ten per cent to provide a fund for the pay ment of monthly bonus of $50 begin ring November 1 and continuing dur ing the war to every American en- listed and drafted man and officer serving in Europe.
 Senator Jones of Washington dis cussed the finance committee action in adding $500,000,000 to the war profits and vigorously criticized Senator Sim mons intimation that desire to make the war unpopular by forcing great tax increases, was responsible for some senator's actions.
 Senator Jones also defended the loy- atty of the wealthy class, declaring they are patriotic and will do their part He advocated paying for the war now instead of leaving the bill to posterity Regarding a tax on war profits Sen ator Jones said the people knew that if these profits are not taken now, they never will be.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. G. The American Alliance of Labor and Democracy late today unanimously adopted a resolution denouncing as un- warranted the declaration of the Peo- ple's Council of America for Democ- racy and Terms of Peace, and other similar organizations that America mas not clearly stated her war aims
 No government has ever stated it's war claims to clearly, war aims entirely consistent with ideals of democracy and intcrnationaism the resolution said:
 The resolution. viewed by some dele gates as the governments unofficial reply to the criticisms of pacificts and pro- German propagandists, was read by John Spargo, former member of the executive committee of the socialist party, and adopted almost immediately amid applause.
 f It pointed to the German plan, re- , eferredfo by President Wilson, to throw a broad belt of military power across the center of Europe, and beyond the Mediterranean into the heart of Asia, and continued:
 The only chance left to the masters of Germany of retaining the advantages gained, ana or peTpeludllNS Ilelf own domination over the German people, is the enactment Of an immediate peace upon terms favorable to themselves"
 Should the German plans succeed, America itself thereafter would be menaced. the resolution said.
 committee report was adopted rec ommendings5ha the erga aaizatien be. made permanent, that an administra- tive committee of nine charged with power to arrange details of organiza- ton be elected and that an appeal be made to other organizations and indi- viduals to join the alliance.
 In it's appeal the committee calls upon all men and women Of the coun- try to join or form branches of the alliance so that every atom of strength and every ounce of resources may be placed at the disposal of the govern ment"
 Pointing to the governments fairness to labor, the appeal states that an agreement has been reached between representatives of the American labor forces and the secretaries of war and navy that union wages, hours and con- ditions shall obtain throughout all con- struction work for army and navy purposes.

WASHINGTON. Sept 6.-Price- fix ing for meat and dairy products has no place in the governments food con- trol plans, Herbert Hoover, the food administrator, today told the National Livestock conference. Not only would it be inadviSable to institute price fixing in these industries, he declared, but the food administration has been given no such power.
 As long as there is a heavy demand for meat with a decreased production, MT. Hoover said meat prices will con- tinue to soar The hope of the food administration is that it can stabilize quotations and thus eliminate specu- lation.
 'I cannot believe there is a panacea for situation of this kind said MT. Hoover Our problem is to increase production. The best we may expect is slow development toward the ends we seek. Drastic control of packing plants, with government operation an alternative, will not work. We can administer food control only through the cooperation of all interests con cerned.
 There is no power in the food bill
  that power. Everywhere in Europe, price fixing-that is. the naming of maximum prices-has failed. We had the fixing of wheat prices thrust upon us as it is our duty to purchase 30 per cent of the crop for export and we had the wheat committee name a price as a guarantee to producers and to stop speculation.
 "The meat situation is such that q high price to producers is guaranteed for many years. If war were to end suddenly, or if the submarines were to be overcome, however. great stores of wheat would be released in Argentina, Australia and India and the bottom would have dropped out of the market in this country. These three nations will have on hand soon enough wheat to feed the world, but ships cannot be had to transport it.
 Beef and pork present different situations We export a small amount of beef, relatively, but now we are over-exporting pork and it may be- come necessary to take measures tC keep a proper relation between the price of corn and hogs. We want your advice as to how this may be done.

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN FRANCE, Sept. 6.-The American sol diers training in France had their sec ond demonstration today of artillery fire by an entire French regiment of famous 75's and learning something more of the vagaries and intricacies of rolling barrages, annihilating bom- bardments, minenwerfers and Flying pigs" As a matter of fact the pigs made a far deeper impression on the troopers than the delicate timing and placing of the perfect French curtain of fire.
 Fired from nearby trench mortars at very low velocity the flying porkers came ambling through the air at a most ungainly gait and pace, exploding in or near the practice trenches with a roar that filled all the air and the surrounding hills with terrific echoes.
 The soldiers liked these shells be- cause they could see them coming and wait for the big blow up. The trim, true shells from the French 75 guns slipped by so noiselessly overhead with out being seen that the troops rather were inclined to underestimate their effectiveness until the barrage curtain was fully built and maintained across a space of nearly a thousand yards. The flying pigs" roared with the ex- plosive force of a fifteen inch shell, calling forth immediate attention and respect.
 It had been expected that the French troops might carry out sham at tack under the rolling or creeping bar rage but at the last moment the pro- gram was changed, as it was thought best that the Americans should study barrage fire and infantry attacks sep arately, rather than involve the two.
 Therefore, the morning was given over to artillery display, including trench mortar fire, indirect machine gun fire and all the various examples of military preparation, concluding with the barrage intended to break up an enemy counter attack.
 Virtually all the American troops in training saw the demonstrations from neighboring hill tops. They were in- tensely interested at first, but toward noon some of them rolled over and fell asleep in the midst of the din just as tired troopers at the battle front sleep peacefully when all the massed guns are clattering out a osng of hate. It is one of the strange psychologists of the war that one cannot long watch even the most intense bombardment Wilhout SoOll tAptlleiCiliS CeTldln amount of boredom, the guns seem so precise and the exploding shells far away so impersonal.
 The American officers followed every phase of the demonstration with studi- ous attention The ordinary soldier generally has to get into the thick Of shell fire before it makes a particularly personal impression on him. The in- fantry attacks this afternoon were more to his liking. The French went lover the top in four successive waves taking three lines of trenches and beat ing off theoretical counter attacks.
 The French attack was carried out

 After review of the crime the court in affirming the judgment of the trial court, said:
 After having reviewed the evidence adduced upon the whole case, which was wholly circumstantial we are con- strained to say that the contention of counsel for the defendant, that the evidence does not sustain the verdict and judgment is not well taken.
 Billings was afforded a fair trial before a fair judge and a fair jury and this fact admitted by counsel for the defense in his, closing argu- ment,"
