The government was informed long
Rgo that Germany would start q new
propaganda for peace to avoid win

cas- participation in the war. Ger
man replies to the vatican prove the
information was entirely correct. Ger
many's moves now are looked upon
here as an appeal to paciflst opinion.
Bakers war reyiew-the first of a
weekly series-shows that the enemy

take the much advertised offensive

The report shows Russian resist
ance stiffening; the Austrians using
only one division as reserve In their
Italian campaign; while the British
and French artillery, infantry and air
craft have done most spectacular
work the past week. Such situa-
ton means that Germany is on the
down grade.
With the military situation thus
shaping much of Germany's disad-
vantage, experts here see clearly that
her peace maneuvers are based on
real internal desire for peace, above
which rides the spectr, of terrible
beating if the struggle goes on.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.-Reduc
ton of bread prices will be recon-
mended by the food administration
Herbert Hoover officially announced
today.
While he is helpless to force lower
prices directly, his recommendations
are expected to be followed, assuring
consumers a cheaper loaf.
Hoover said:
"The federal trade commissions In
ouiry into the cost of baking and dis
tribution of bread is expected to be
completed in few days. AS soon as
this data can be properly considered.
the food administration intends to
announce it's views as to standards,
shapes and composition of bread and
to make recommendations to the bak-
ers, retailers and consumers as to CO
operation in reduction of price,
Hoover is expected to recommend
economies in deliveries and appeal to
oonsum ers to buy over the counter.
What standard size loaf Hoover will
recommend was not indicated. His
advisers incline toward European
methods by which bread is marked by
prices much lower than in the United
States. A four pound loaf in England
sells for twenty cents or five cents
pound over the counter. This is made
possible, however, by the government
selling wheat at cost or below.
Lower Flour Prices Predicted.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. 27.-
Lower flour prices are predicted by
milling men here. provided the gov
ernment can supply sufficient grain
to keep mills running to capacity,
and provided wheat continues to be
of the same quality as that now
being ground.
"If the government can keep us
running at capacity, flour prices will.
tend to become lower" J. S. Pills
bury. vice president Of the 'Pillsbury
Milling company, declared today.
This would cut the overhead oper-
ating expenses per barrel to the min
imum and should reduce prices
Wheat, however, must maintain it's
present standard Of inactivity to per-
NIT the same amount of flour per
bushel as we are now producing"
Pfllsbury would not say how great
a drop could be expected, but it is
generally believed in milling circles
that a reduction of % to so cents a
barrel would follow If wheat remains
steady in grade and quantity.
