Father Love.

The love between fathers and sons
has never been given the conspicuous
place that is given to boys and their
mothers. Is that because it is more
elusive than mother love?-for 1t Is

CARE FOR AMERICAN PRISONERS.

In German Prison Camps.
Special to Times Republican.
Washington. Aug. 2s,-The American
Red Cross has perfected plans to care
for Americans who may be captured
and held IN German prison camps. A
prisoners relief committee has been
organized at Berne, Switzerland. under
the supervision of Ellis L. Dresel, OF
the American legation. Mr.. Dresei
served from the outbreak of the war IN
1914 up to our breaking off diplomatic
relations as an attache of the American
embassy at Berlin. where his duties in
cluded relief work for men OF the en-
tente nationalities in German prison
camps
Today only about 100 American pris-
oners are held in Germany. Most OF
these are civilians taken off American
merchantmen that have been sunk by
Teuton submarines. More recent ar
rivals in the prison camps had served
as gun crews since the arming Of our
merchant ships.
Speedy provision for their relief and
for those who may be taken prisoner
is necessitated by the German policy OF
giving their prisoners Of war food tot

health. The extremely high death
rate among Russian, Serbian and Rou-
manian prisoners in Germany and AUS.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Announce-
ment Of the price Of wheat as fixed

Garfield vii be made within forty
eight hours, probably tonight.
The committee has practically fin
ished its work and the results werer
placed before President Wilson yes
terday afternoon by Mr.. Garfield.
Reports are that the price agreed
upon is at least 81 a bushel Rumors
have placed the amount at that fig
ure. at $40 and as high as s225.
The price fixed by the committee al
the request Of President Wilson and
Food Administrator Herbert c. Hoover
will apply only to this years crop, the
minimum price for next years crop
being placed at 50 by the terms of the
food control act.
The s50.000,G00 grain corporation or
ganized by Mr.. Hoover to buy and
sell wheat will be ready to begin

government shall buy the entire crop
unless necessary.
All grain elevators are required to
obtain licenses from the food admin

Mr.. Hoover returned from Chicago.

terrnined whether or not to comply
with the request Of the Chicago pack
ers for the appointment OF director
Of the packing industry. The inten-
ton had not been to name such a di
rector, but it may be found advisable
to do so in view Of the request.
The plan Of Mr.. Hoover has been
TO have the packers arrange a sys-
tenn Of prices by voluntary agree
ment that would be satisfactory tc

which has been followed with the

others.
