Major j. NJ. JOhnsOn's Command Prac-

Greenvillc, Aug. 2G.-Prcparations
were made at Camp Sewer today for
the entrainment of the South Caro-
lima battalion Of engineers, 117th di-
vision, which will probably leave Tues
day for Mineola, L. l., where they will
probably undergo few months train
ing prior to embarkation for France
with the first contingency of National
Guard engineers ordered for overseas
duty several weeks ago. The battal-
ion is composed of about 125 North
CaroEnians and 100 Tennesseans,
who were last week drafted from the
ranks of the various companies sta
toned at Camp Sewer for the pur-
pose Of recruiting to war strength.
Other South Carolina companies con
tributed 147 men.
The battalion is under the command
of Major j. M. Johnson, who perfect
ed the organization. in June of this
Year. 1t is not\ known how long the
men will remain at Mincola, before
departing for France. The minimum,
officers think, will be two weeks, and
the maximum two months.

In the system established for the
fatherless children of France no con-
tributor may "adopt" an orphan for
a less period than two years, the
cost of such adoption being ten cents
per day, or $73 in all. Lesser sums.
however, may be offered, and are ac-
cepted with gratitude. These sums
not specially designated make pos
sible a work of mercy greater than
if their object had been precisely
specified.

wrote, of a letter which l have re-
ceived from the widow of a French
captain, whose orphaned children are
being helped by the money sent by
contributors to the Living Church
Fund in various sums not specially
designated for the adoption of chill
dren directly by the donator: 1 have
put together a number of these sums
and have paid them over to the treas
urer of the Fatherless Children to
care for this family of wonderfully
attractive children.

TO KEEP WAR PRICES DOWN
President Asks Gregory How Far
He Can Go.

Washington, Aug. 27-An interprc-
tatlon of existing laws which will de-
fine clearly the governments power to
keep war prices down has been asked
of Attorney General Gregory by Pres
ident Wilson. The President particu-
larly desires to know how far the gov
crnmcnt can go under the control bill
and the National Defense Acts.
The Defense Act authorizes the Ex-
ccutive in times Of war or other ma
tional emergency to commander sup
plies at fair prices, but doubt has ex-
isted as to whether the law vests in
him power to force producers to sell
to the Allies and to the general pub
lie at the same figure obtained by
the government.
Under the Food Control Act the
President has fixed coal prices and
has wide authority over the produc-
tion and distribution of foodstuffs,
but provisions Of the act designed to
give the government control over ne
ccssities never have been clearly de-
fined in the minds Of many officials.
With the price of coal disposed of
for the time being the government has
turned its attention to steel and cop
per.
If test comes between the gov
ernment and industries over the
avowed intention of the government to
see that the public shares in price
reduction it will come first over steel.
There is a belief i nsome circles
that most Of the industries can be
controlled through the governments
control of fuel. Since this is the
basic commodity, it is argued licens-
ing system could be used to force
manufacturers to sell at fair prices
on the certainty that they would be
denied coal if they did not comply.

START DRIVE
70 LOWER PRICE OF BREAD

Washington, Aug. 26.-A drive to
lower the price of bread was. started
today when the American Home Eco
nomics association presented the COLI
sumers' viewpoint to the food admin
istration.
In a brief to the committee on
prices for wheat, they pointed out
that:
a change of 10 cents bushcl in
"hea. adds SO cents a barrel to the
cost of -four
Only the very efficient baker can
produce a pound loaf Of bread for five
cents when wheat goes above $1.85.
- Wheat records of the past show that
81 wheat has not been quoted since
the Civil war.
The association declared that in
creased bread prices are a daily war
tax on the poor that may lead to
bread riots and labor troubles which
would prove serious matters. Dis
affection is already apparent, the as
sociation said.
1t was urged that the price to be
fixed be not based on the "artifcial'
factors which led to the recent rise
IN wheat to points about So.
They pointed out that if peace were
declared, or with the reserves in Aus
tralia, India and Russia released
there would be enough wheat to sup
ply western Europe and leave a sur
plus in this country which would de-
Inoralize prices. Concluding, the as.
sociation urged an equitable decision
on the wheat price, based on concili.
alton of the interest of the producer
distributor and consumer.

AIDING FATHERLESS
FRENCH CHILDREN
DR.. S. N. Watson Writes of Work
of Episcopal Churches in
America.
DONATIONS MUST CONTINUE
French Writer Quotes Boy Bene-
ficiary as Wanting to Become
an American.

There are $4,000 children listed in
the organization known as the Faith
erless Children of France. The Rev.
DR.. Samuel N. Watson, rector of the
Holy Trinity American Episcopal
Cathedral, Paris, who is vice president
of the organization, recently wrote to
the Living Church, an Episcopal
weekly published in Milwaukee, Wis,
telling of some things accomplished
by this society. Thousands of dollars
have been contributed to this work
through the Living Church.
CAS- vice president of the Fatherless
Children of France, am glad and
proud to tell you that we have now
about $4,000 children on our pension
lists to whom we give fifteen francs a
month";" wrote DR.. Watson, and add
ed: "And we heartily thank the Liv-
ing Church for it's splendid coopera-
tion and for it's constant advocacy of
our cause.
MAY l say to your readers that
more and more we need money to ex-
press to France what is really our
devotion to her splendid idealism
Let no one think that because there
are big organizations on the ground
here that therefore the need is over.
It>is far otherwise.
Doing Vast Service.
"The bigger the organization the
less is its possibility of helping gent
ly the little things, the modest suf-
ferers. 1t is not that have anything
but admiration for the splendid way
in which the big services of relief
do big things. There must be big
organizations to handle vast problems.
But I want to impress on our gen
erous supporters that we do vast
service of mercy that no one else is
in touch with or can do.
ut is not the fault of the big or
ganizations that they do not and cam
not reach much of the deepest suf-
fering; it is simply fact Of the es-
sential conditions. When the elephant
wanted to pet the fly it was not the
elephants fault that the fly was hurt.
1t was the essential fact that the ele-
plants foot was too big to do the
kind of caressing gently"

"a translation of the letter follows

IA translation OF the letter follows:
Monsieur: Your committee has
sent me some money for my eight
fatherless children, and this unex-
pected gift has been an unspeakable
help to me. l learn through my sister
that it is. to your dilicate interven-
tion that owe all this, and can
only say that l am incapable of ex-
pressing my gratitude.
Language was given to man to
express thought. That is possible, but
/ am sure there are some very deep
feelings which one cannot always ex-
press, and l have come to such a
case.
Nevertheless, rest assured, Mon
sieur, that in the admirable work you
are doing you write upon the hearts
of my children purer brotherhood, a
more real attachment, for these
brothers of the United States whom
we are today so proud to call our
allies.
"'They know, these little ones, that
they are clothed, shod, aided in
everything, and that it is to great
America they owe it all. And l am
happy to make my own this exclama-
tion of my second son--'Mamma, since
Americans are SO good want to be-
come an American"
"'This thought Of the child reflects
somewhat the current attachment
which so many French children GER
tainly feel for the United States. In
the name Of their father, Monsieur, I
thank you again and again."

LOs ANGELES FIRM
 FAMOUS PROPERTY
Special to The Republican)

CANON, Ariz., June 1S.-C. B. Hollin ger and company, of Los Angeles, have taken over controlling interest in the Tip Top Consolidated Mining company and are immediately to undertake the development of the famous old Tip Top Silver tungsten mine They have agreed to advance $15,000 to liquidaJe the debts of the Tip Top company and to eXpend 5000 a, month for development until their total expenditures are S100,0O0.
 First of all, the S00-foot shaft will be unwatered. It is expected that this will disclose quantities of rich ore left un- broken in the stOpes because the high tungsten content made the treatment of it unprofitabe at that time. When the Tip Top was operated by the Haggln Head and Hearst syndicate, of San Francisco, tungsten had no value and was regarded as nuisance.
 Haggin. Head and Hearst give up the Tip Top in 1888, after the slump in the price or sIlver The ore that they took from the mine was freighted to Yuma, then the nearest railroad point, by OK team at cost of s400 a ton. From there it was shipped by water to the Selby smelter, at San Francisco. Some of it was even sent to a smelter in Wales.
 The entire Tip Top dump is rich in tungsten. Hollinger and company plan to erect on the ground a modern mill for the treatment of the dump ores and any that may be extracted from the workings
 Prescott business and professional men organized the Tip Top consolidated over a year ago. Under the terms of the new deal, they relinquished control to the Los Angeles concern.
