SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.-
Possibility of the government
taking over the steel shipbuilding
plants on San Francisco bay as a
result of the strike call issued by
the metal trades council to it's
$4,000 members, was widely dis
cussed today.
The threatened strike had been
placed up to the government ship
ping board and word from Wash
ington was that action would be
taken as soon as the Seattle strike
could be settled. In the mean
time, the shipping board has a rep

PARIS, Sept. 15.-The house

II paying practically the same
price for bread that she paid be-
fore the war.
The only difference is that to-
days bread is of whole wheat
flour and is darker than the loaf
OF the pre-war days.
The French food ministry to-
day explained to the United Press
for the benefit of Americans now
facing increased prices for flour
and bread how France dealt with
the problem. The ministry's
statement was as follows:
During the first two years of
the war there was no bread prob
lem in France. We imported all
necessary wheat, but even then, in
view of transport difficulties, the
government was obliged to regu-
late baking.
Allow 1-Cent Raise.
AS the French are essentially
q bread eating nation, 1t was nee
essary to keep prices as low as
possible. Therefore the only in
crease permitted was the raise to
5 cents of the usual Accent loaf.
All French bread now is of a
q standard type. II is made of
whole wheat flour, which is less
tasty, perhaps, but which is equal
ly nutritious.
THE government held II mad
visable to tax wheat because the
farmers might grow other cereals.
Therefore 1t was decided to pay
the farmers the prices they de-
manded for their wheat-altho
The flour from the grain was re-
sold at former prices to the
bakers.
Use Potatoes, Too.
ITO cover the deficit tax will
soon be imposed ON the agricul-
fural populations. This appears

bef bread cards will be given out.
This will allow minimum daily al

EMBARGO

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. Is.
The central powers reported reply
to the vatican peace proposal
aroused only curiosity here to-
day.
Inasmuch as vague forecasts of
II gave no hope of fulfillment of
President Wilson's demands for
elimination of kaiserism, authori-
ties here showed little interest.
The single possibility 1t offers
is that 1t will create new peace dis
cussion interfering with America s.
war work-and perhaps inspire
the pope to further proffers. That
the United States will stand pat
on its declarations to the pope is
certain and the allies will be with
her.
The United States government
Is positive that the tide can be
turned against Germany by both
military and economic blows and
hence is not interested in any half
way speace offers of Germany.
Kairerism must go-that is the
sum and substance of American
demands.
Meantime Germany is being
choked by the embargo.
This will become even more ag-
gravated by the Swedish-G German
Argentine-Mexican exposures. One
of their purposes is to break MP
the alliance between Germany and
Sweden.
Between the embargo and the
likelihood of a governmental
house cleaning in Sweden, there is
little chance that Germany will
get further supplies from her
friend, the Swedish government.

CONCRETE GROWS IN FAVOR
Use of That Material in House Con-

With All Glasses of Builders.

Since the advent of the concrete
block industry, some rapid steps have
been made in house construction. The
special facings which it is possible to
apply to the concrete blocks make them
a solution of almost any problem in
house building where something special
is desired in finish. By the use of white
cement in connection with suitable
coloring material almost any shade or
tint may be obtained and very close
imitation of highly expensive stone
may be built at a reasonable cost.
Marble, granite, sandstone and lime
stone may be initiated with such ex-
actness that there is no advantage
gained in the use of the true material
A house just put up in Watertown
is an example of the beautiful effect
which may be obtained by the use of
special face concrete blocks applied to
the construction of the porch and chin
ney of a frame house. The facing used
in this case is intended to initiate white
marble. This facing consists of a NOR
tar made of some brand of white
cement and marble chippings.-Boston
