Government Blamed For
Increased Cost of Milk

Philadelphia, Nov. s.-The Govern
ment and Herbert Hoover. food ad-
ministrator. are responsible for the
increased cost of milk, which became
effective yesterday, according to both
producers and distributors. The Gov
ernment's responsibility arises from
huge contracts for condensed milk.
they say. and they add that Hoover
has failed to redeem his pledge -
reduce the cost of cattle feed.
P. F. Willis. president of the Milk
Producers Exchange. and II. D. Allie
bach, vice-president, asserted that in
an interview on October 10. Hoover
made a definite promise to reduce the
cost of feed. According to Mr.. Will
Its. the cost, instead of falling. is
steadily increasing. A milk famine
was imminent in Philadelphia, he
said, before the rise of three-quarters
of a cent in the wholesale price of
milk. which became effective yester-
day. This increase the dealers passed
at once to the consumers by raising
the price of milk one cent quart.

State Fuel Administrator
to Requisition Surplus
Supply. of Coal Hogs

Washington, Nov. 6.-An order req
uisitioning for the Government 10
per cent. of the output of virtually
every coal mine in the country will
be issued by the fuel administration
probably to-day. The coal will be
distributed by the Government to
meet emergency requirements wher-
ever they may arise.
Consumption is keeping pace so
closely with production that many
parts OF the country are feeling the
pinch OF a coal shortage. Industries
essential to the public welfare in
many cities face the prospect of clos
ing down, and thousands of house
holders have found it impossible to
purchase a winters supply of fuel.
The fuel administration announced
to-day that Investigations have been
started in Philadelphia to determine
the extent of boarding by household
ers, and it was stated that Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield is giving serious
thought to a plan of requisitioning
surplus of coal hogs"
The investigation. 1t was stated, is
to be directed by William Potter, the
state fuel administrator for Pennsyl-
vania, and it's purpose is to determine
where the excess supplies of anthra-
cite over last year have gone.
Mr.. Potter is expected to prosecute
the investigation through consulta-
tion with retail dealers and an eN-
animation of their books. The fuel
administration will consider that any

SENIORITY RULE CAUSES
CONCERN AT CAMP HANCOCK
Subordinate Officers Are Wondering Where They Stand
In Length of United States Service

Camp Hancock, Ga, Nov. 6.-rhe
Interpretation of the seniority rule as
made by the War Department in the
case of the general officers of the
Twenty Eighth division which placed
Brigadier General Stillwell, who was
thought to be the junior general, in
command of the division as senior
general officer, caused much discus
sion among the subordinate officers
this morning.
All the officers began figuring lust
where they stood in the matter of
seniority. Colonel George G.. Rich
ards, who has seen more United
States service than any other man of
equal rank in the division and who
was senior colonel even under the
guard system of determining senior
ity stin is the ranking regimental
commander. Colonel w. S. Mckee,
commander of the One Hundred and
Seventh Field Artillery, because of
his service as a captain in the Span
ish-American War takes precedence
over q number of officers and is now
the second ranking colonel.
Colonel Hamilton d. Turner, COM
mander of the One Hundred and
Eighth Heavy Field Artillery, who
was the senior regimental comman-
der of the Fifty-third artillery hri-
gade and acted in that capacity while
Brigadier General Price was acting
commander of the division, now be-
comes the Junior to Colonel Mckee.
Colonel Turner is now the third
ranking colonel in the division.
Saw Service in 1898
Colonel E. c. Shannon, Colonel
Ezra II. Ripple, Colonel Maurice f.
Finney, Colonel John p. Wood, Colo
mel George e. Kemp Colonel e. l..
Kearns and Colonel Thomas Biddle
Ellis all saw service in the war in
1898. Colonel Millard d. Brown.
commander of the One Hundred and
Ninth Regiment. under the new rul-
ing is still junior commander, haV-
ing no service as a commissioned Of
ficer in the United States service as
outlined in the War Departments re-
cent ruling.
The regulation has placed num-
ber of majors, captains and lieuten-
ants who had been in the Regular
Army and had resigned much above
the old officers of the guard. Major

of the second battalion One Hundred

who is probably the youngest battal-
ion commander in the division. serv-
ed as q second lieutenant in the
United States Army after he grad
uated from West Point. Though he
was a Junior major in the guard he
rises to the senior major of the divi-
sion.
Colonel Kearns received for the
One Hundred and Eighth Infantry a

Colonel Kemp Commands the
Fighting Tenth"
The Fighting Tenth" now the One
Hundred and Tenth Infantry, was
last week placed under the COM
mand of Colonel George E. Kemp, of
Philadelphia, formerly commander
of the old Third Infantry, which was
absorbed by the former regiment in
the scheme of reorganization of the
Twenty Eighth division.
This was the information conveyed
in a general order issued from divi-
sion headquarters by Brigadier GEN
eral Frederick w. Stillwell. The same
order designated Colonel Edward q.
Shannon, formerly commander of
the old Fourth, to command the
Twenty Eighth division Headquar-
ters Train and Military Police. Both
men took command Immediately af-
ter the issuing of the order.
The placing of the two colonies to
these commands is in line with the
announcement from division head
quarters some time ago that the sur
plus colonels remaining in the divi-
sion, the result of reorganization,
would be assigned to the vacancies
existing. The assignment of Colonel
Kemp is thought to be actuated by
the situation now present in the
Tenth Regiment, with such a large
body of troops from his old regi-
ment. 1t is thought that the esprit
de-corps of the men of the old Third
will be preserved while the men
of the old Tenth will be satisfied be-
cause the identity of their regiment
has been kept intact
1t was expected for a long time
that Lieutenant-Colone Henry W.
Coulter would be given the command.
Announcement of it had been pre-
Viously made in dispatches from
Washington, but nothing was known
of his appointment in the regiment
The retention of the old Tenth and
the appointment of Colonel Kemp is
regarded as a step to please all the
men in the regiment.
The placing of Colonel Kemp in
command of the Western Pennsylva-
MIA regiment now makes him the
senior commander of the Eifty-ffth
Brigade. During the absence of Ma
jor General Charles M. Clement,
commander of the division. which
takes General Stillwell to division
headquarters, he will be in command
of the Fifty-fifth Brigade.
Lieutenaut-Colo Coulter will
retain the active command of the
regiment until General Clements re-
4urn.

BISHOPS AT
BIG MASS MEETING
Men Urged to Take Up Arms
and Women to Con-
serve Food

At recruiting mass meeting held
in the courthouse last night, a plea
for recruits was made by the Rt. Rev.
p. r. McDevitt, Bishop OF the Harris
Alrg Diocese OF the Catholic Church,
I'D the Rt. Rev. James Henry Dar-
lington, Bishop of the Harrisburg
Diocese of the Episcopal Church.
The bishops urged upon the people
present the necessity of everyone's $
enlisting in the service of the -
tion. Bishop Darlington urged every
young man to enlist in the Army or
Navy, and the women and children
remaining at home to enlist in a
campaign to conserve the resources
Rt home and fight for the soldiers In
the field.
Bishop Darlington stated that the
cause of the allies is Just, and more
acceptable in the eyes of God than
the cause of Prussianism. The
Bishop told of the great religious
service in Berlin a month ago, when
the Germans prayed for victory. He
said that the Germans desired victory
in order to dominate the world. The
allies desire the victory in order to
assure freedom from oppression, and
freedom of thought and growth to
ell the world.
Bishop McDevitt told of the fight
for liberty under all sorts of dis
couragements during the Revolution
airy War, and said that the sons OF
America now should fight to main
tain that liberty against any threat
ening danger. The Bishop said that
loyalty to country Is the duty OF ev-
cry Christian. and that no one can be
true to God who Is not loyal to his

25-Pound Geese Bagged
by Clarion Hunters

Clarion. Pa, Nov. 6. - Wild geese
are going south in large numbers.
Friday a flock passed over town and
about nightfall pitched on the Clarion
river, not far from here. Early Satur-
day morning. three hunters, who were
after rabbits, came upon them, and
bagged four fine gray geese. Three OF
them weighed fully twenty-five
pounds each. while the smallest went
to twenty pounds.
They were exceedingly fat and the
size can be imagined, when. on being
carried held by the legs and hung
over the mems shoulders. the bills of
the geese touched the ground. and the
hunters were men of average height.
