break of the war the Railroad War
Board put into effect general reduce

had no discouraging effect upon travel;

German Liberal Leader
Out for Annexations

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 25.-Dr.
~ Gustave Stresemann, leader
Of the German National Liberals
in the Reichstag, has openly
placed himself on the side Of the
advocates Of annexation and the
opponents of peace by agree
ment. Vorwaefts reports DR..
Stresemann as saying in . speech
at Wurttemburg that "the Reich
stag majority resolution in favor
of peace was Q tactical error, and
that in common with the over
whelming majority Of my party l
consider every resolution having
in view peace at the present time
as unjustifiable in view of the
war situation as it now stands"
DR.. Strescmann's annexation
programme, as gathered from
the speech, aims chiefly toward
the East.

SAYS WARD BAKERY
CIVESAWAY BREAD
Federal Commission Charses
Unfair Competition.
Special Despo,ch 10 THE srS.


WASHINGTON. Nov. es.-The Federal
Trade Commission has issued formal
complaint against the Ward Baking
Company Of New York. charging unfair,
methods Of competition in violation OF
Section . Of the trade act.
The company Is accused Of daily
giving gratis to each purchaser Of Its
bread n quantity Of bread equal to the
amount bought and paid for by such
purchaser" with intent to stihs and
suppress competition In the manufacture
and sale Of bread"
The charges will be heard by the
commission on January 81. The Ward
company Is given the usual thirty days
in which to reply.
OfYicials Of the Trade Commission will
not say how general the alleged unfair
practices Of the Ward company have
been. this being matter not proper for
discussion In advance Of the hearing
II Is understood rat complaints OF sim
liar nature have been filed with the COM
mission against other large baking COM
panies in New York.
While the commission deprecates at
any time the methods OF which the Ward
company Is accused. 1t Is known to view
with particular disapproval any attempt
in a war emergency to reduce the food
resources Of the nation. This the un-
derselltng OF smaller rivals by large
firms manifestly would accomplish by
putting the smaller baker out Of busi-
ness.
The cases against the Ward company
in consequence may I've said to be the
beginning OF a campaign against unfair
practices in the baking and other trades
In conformity with the wishes Of the
Food Administration. ~r
