FRENCHMEN GIVEN
 JOYOUS WELCOME
 IN NEW YORK CITY
J0ffre and Viviani Received in American Metropolis Like Heroes Returning
 From Victory

New York, May 9.-New York surrendered uncondition- ally to Joseph Jacques Joffre, marshal of France, and the French war commission at 4:35 o'clock this afternoon. Not only did the worlds largest city capitulate to the hero of the MaTne and to Rene Viviani, former premier of France, who headed the war mission to the United States, but 1t accorded them a triumphal entry.
 Never have visitors to New York been given so tremendous welcome. At least a million of it's citizens turned out to pay homage to the great soldier and the great statesman of sister republic.
 Accustomed as they have become to demonstrations of esteem since they
 
 men were overwhelmed at the demon stration accorded them by New York. Their coming was an historic event and it was celebrated in a historic way.
 DID NOT HIDE EMOTION
 The men whom the city honored did not try to hide the emotion they felt. From the moment they alighted in JJersey City from the closely guarded special train which brought them from Philadelphia until they retired tonight in the Fifth avenue mansion of Henry C. Prick. they were not per- mitted to forget that New York was pround to have within it's gates the Representatives of the best loved ally of the United States.
 The membehs of the mission caught their first glimpse of Bartholdfs fa- nous Statue of Liberty as they crossed the Hudson river on police boat on their way to Manhattan. Vt viani and Joffre stood at the rail- the former in silence with his hat at his side; the soldier at salute. Then the citNs skyline drew their attention as the beat approached the shore.

Choate, former am- bassador to Great Britain Jules Jus serand the French ambassador; Frank l.. Polk. counsellor of the state de- partment: George W.

 They were escorted from the Battery. to the city hall by squadron of cav airy and two troops of mounted police, through the canyon of Broadway which was choked with widely cheering multitude. At the city hall they were formally welcomed to New York by Mayor John Purroy Mitchell, and MT. Choate.

CORNER HAS BEEN TURNED"
And Prices Will Begin to Go Down, Says
Hoover.

Washington, D. c., Oct lg-Food Ad
ministrator Hoover gave notice to the
public last night that 'the corner has
been turned in high food prices" and
that most of the essential commodities
should continue to show reductions he.
tween now and the end of the year At
the saWe time he pointed out that re-
tail prices are not going down in accord
with wholesale reductions, and intimated
that the consumer himself might cor
rect this by bringing proper pressure to
bear
To aid the public in dealing with re-
talers who continue in dealing war prof
its, the food administration now is eel
lecting wholesale prices of all staples in
700 cities and soon will begin publishing
them weekly for comparison with the re-
tail of the grocers.
without further authority fr Con-
gress, Mr.. Hoover said the government
is powerless to control retailers, except
those doing business of more than
100000 year. He did not care to dis
cuss the question of whether Congress
would be asked TO extend his authority,
saying he wanted to give the retailers
a chance first.
As an Illustration of how the price to
the consumer is keeping up, state
ment issued by the administration said
the millers' price for first patent flour in
jute bags ranges from $40 to 5000, but
the average retail price is Sl3.77, or, the
administrator, says, from Sl.50 to 81
more than the wholesale figures war
