Vogt May Command.

It is generally believed that Capt
Louis c. Vogt. in command of Battery
A of the Field Artillery, who is al
ready in camp here, will be the major
to command the battalion. as he is
senior artillery officer. Capt. Bonnett
is captain of. Battery B, which is still
in Washington awaiting orders to come
here. This unit is expected to be here
within week.
1t has been stated on what seems to
be reliable authority that none of the
officers of the District cavalry will lose
his commission. Maj. Heron is the
ranking officer of the District forces
but ne is not an artillery officer. Capt
Vogt and Capt. Bennett. besides hav-
ing had long experience in command
ing batteries of the National Guard,
were in command on the Mexican bor-
der last year.
The cavalrymen from the District
realize that within a few days the or
ders changing from cavalry into artIl-
lery will proba bly, be issued. and that
other important changes and reaE-
rangements are in store for all hands,.
Cold weather last night sent the cav
alrymen scurrying for all the blankets
they could find. The cold snap blew
into camp right on the heels of the
hottest day experienced since troops
came here. and was doubly noticeable
for the District men because they
landed here in the worst of the torrid
spell.
Gen. Morton to Speak.
! Mai Gen. Morton, the camp COM
| mander. is to address the chamber OF
| commerce this afternoon on "Annis-
| tons Opportunity and Obligations"
AS the empty spaces on this great
military reservation become filled with
| soldiers at the rate of two or three
! thousand a day, the city of Annlston,
| six miles away, and the military au-
| thorities face serious problems. More
! than 5000 men are in camp now, and
/ at night, Saturday afternoons and Sun
days they have holidays. Most of them
visit Admission. The population of the
town is less than the present popula-
| tion of the camp, which Will be doubled
within ten days. Its transportation and
| mercantile resources can adequately
supply it's own population and but lit
tie more.
| AS result of affairs of Saturday and
Sunday nights. when automobiles were
commandeered by the military police in
order to get the soldiers back to camp
! for taps, two taxicab companies have
quit the town and gone back to Biz
mingham. This further reduces trans
portation facilities.
Gen. Morton has interested himself in
the subject of prices of articles sold to
soldiers. and took UP the question of
apparent overcharges with the cham
ber In this particular case it was an
increase in the price of toilet staples.
and this was found to be occasioned by
an increase in wholesale rates.

Gen. Barber Arrives.

Gen. Barber arrived at Admission this
morning accompanied by his two mill
tary aids, Lieuts. Henry G. stephens
and Russell G.. Barber. They came to
camp Immediately and Gen. Barber
went at once to report to Maj. Gen.
Morton at the division headquarters.
The New Jersey troops gave him
warm reception.

Gave Approval to Terms.

The representatives of the advisory
commission Were intimately connected
with all of the discussions. and terms
arrived at We're reached with the ad-
vice and approval and concurrence of
the advisory commission
Gen. CroZier, in answer to suggeS-
ton from Representative Sisson of Mis-
sssippi that 10 per cent was IAN un-
considerable profit" called attention
to the risks of money invested and said
the owners of that investment were
entitled to return.
When Chairman Frank a. Scott of
the Council of National Defense ap-
peared before the committee Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald asked him how it
had been determined that 10 per cent
profit was a reasonable profit. Mr.
Scott said il was the best bargain
that could be made under the circum-
stances"
You want that to stand as your
answer" asked Representative Fitz-
gerald.
Yes. sir; 7 do mean that" said Mr..
Scott Il mean that that contract as
I recall the circumstances of its max
ing. represented the very best bar
gain that was obtainable between those
companies and the United States gov
ernment at that time.
And because it was the best bargain
was the contract made regardless of
government" continued Representative
Fitzgerald.
mo. sir Mr.. Scott replied 1.-The con-
tract viii produce rifles at a lower cost
than the rifles will have been required by
any government participating in this
war"
THAT doesn't mean anything" Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald asserted.
1T means a good bargain retorted
Mr.. Scott.

will get a 6 per cent return on every
dollar invested"
After considerable discussion Gen.
Crozier said, in answer to a ques-
ton by Representative Sherley. that the
government had to get the rifles and
that the contract entered into seemed
to be an equitable one to both sides;
and that surely it would produce the
much needed weapons.
This contract represents a 10 per
cent profit upon the output" said Rep
resentative Sherley. and the cost of
the output has figured in it as one Of
the elements interest upon the invest
ment as well as the working capital of
the companies turning out the rifles.
II it happens that the output is such
that it represents a value many times
the capital invested, 10 per cent upon
that output will represent many times
more than 10 per cent upon the capital

Not a Reasonable Basis.

"It does not" was Representative
Fitzgera Ids contradiction. THE prices
the allied governments have been pay
ing for the production of things are not
at all a measure OF what are reasona hle
prices for such commodities, and the
best illustration of that is the fact that
your war Industries board. or some
similar organization. is to take in hand
the work of seeing that the allies pur-
chase at a rea asonable price"
Mr.. Scott said that there had been an
increase in costs. and Representative
Fitzgerald reverted TO his original
question: How was the cost, plus 10
per cent profit. agreed on as reason
able?
Because the normal profit on such con-
tracts would be in excess of 10 per
cent said Mr.. Scott.
That would be true if they owned
the plants said Representative Fitz-
gerald, but here is a case where the
government owns the machinery and
furnishes it to the comDanies'
