TO END HIGH PRICES
HOOVER DECLARES CORNER HAS
BEEN TURNED" IN COST.
Asserts Wholesale Prices Are Much
Lower Now Than Years Ago
BIames Retailers.

Washington. Oct 20.-Food Admin
lStrat"r Hoover announced on Thurs
day that the corner has been turned
in high prices"
lie has gone as far as he can in
price reduction, he says, and assails
the retailers for not doing their part.
The next congress will probably be
asked to give him power to force the
retailers to abstain from profiteering.
Mr.. Hoover says:
Most of the essential commodities
should, one after another, continue to
show reductions between now and the
end of the year. The food admins
traitor has no control of either the
grower or his organizations, nor of the
great majority or retailers.
THE distribution chain living be-
tween the warehouse, wholesalers,
commission men and manufacturers of
prime commodities has required a
great deal of study and development
for its proper regulation, and these
regulations are coming into force
now"
Mr.. Hoover said he had every hope
the retailers will co-operate, as the
farmers and other food handlers are
cooperating, to feed the. nation and
the allies at reasonable prices. Every
body along the line down to the re-
taller, he declared. already is helping.
But retail prices do not by any means
reflect the wholesale prices.

APPLETON DEFEATS
COMMISSION FORM
POPULAR VOTE AFTER HEATED
CAMPAIGN BEATS SYSTEM
BY 582 MAJORITY.
TO ELECT MAYOR IN APRIL
Plans Are Now Being Made to Select
Likely Candidates-First City in
County to Gust Plan After
Trial for Seven Years.

Appleton-Appleton is the first city
in the United States to GUST the COM
mission form Of government by a spe-
cial election.
After one of the most bitter political
fights ever engaged in here, a popular
vote of 2,073 to 1,491, a majority of
$50, decided against the commission
form.
OF the 500 cities in the country to
adopt the commission form, Appleton
takes the lead in eliminating the sys-
TEN altogether. 1t has been in effect
here seven years.
Opponents of the system declared
that had they been beaten at the cleo
ton they were arranging for indfvid-
ual recall of some of the officers, as
was the course pursued in an Ohio
city which tried to shake off the COM
mission method some time ago
Plans are now being made for the
selection of likely candidates to take
up the regular municipal chairs to be
filled at the April election. Until that
time the commission system will con-
tinue in effect.
Six aldermen are to be elected for
one year and six for two years. No
mention has as yet been made of
candidate for the mayoralty.
The entire campaign preceding the
popular ballot was fraught with inten-
sive fervor on both sides. A public
debate was one of the features and as
points were made pro and con ripples
and then hurricanes of applause swept

PEACE NOT IN SIGHT
PREMIER LLOYD GEORGE OF
ENGLAND MAKES STATEMENT
AT MASS MEETING
RUSS DELAY ALLIED VICTORY
Declares Military Collapse Prevents
Triumph This Year-Entente
Working in the Greatest
Harmony.

London, Oct. 24-"I have scanned
the horizon intently," Premier Lloyd
George stated, 'and can see no terms
In sight which will lead to enduring
peace. The only terms now possible
would mean an armed truce ending in
an even more frightful struggle"
The prime minister was addressing
an enthusiastic mass meeting of TO-
600 persons in Albert hall, called to
inaugurate nationwide campaign of
economy.
The premier said he had hoped the
enemy's terrible power might be bro
ken this year, but that the temporary
collapse of the Russian military power
had postponed this hope. Time, how
ever, was on the side of the allies, he
added. Time once was neutral, but
two things had changed thfs-namely,
the advent of America, whose man
power was the best fighting material
In the world, and the increasing fail
ure of the German submarine war.
The allies were working In the
greatest harmony, Mr.. Lloyd-George
continued. He said they were on the
eve of the most important inter-allied
conference ever held, at which for the
first time representatives of America
and of the Russian democracy would
be present. He stated that the con-
ference meant to determine the ulti-
mate issue of the war.
: 1t must be settled now, once for all,
he declared. If the war should be re-
newed after 80 years more of scientific
application it would mean the death
of civilization. Brute force must be
dethroned forever.
