FRANCE is DISTURBED
BY TEUTONIC SUCCESS

Paris, Oct. 2s,-The italian situa-
ton is summarized by the Temps
military expert as follows:
"The Austro- German offensive on
the Italian front develops with dis
quieting energy. The enemy's right,
descending In the valleys that con-
verge on Azzida, have reached Civil
dale. All the Italian forces on the
plateau of Bainsi2za and on the Carso
as far as the sea, menaced with envel-
oprnent, have been obliged to evacuate
the regions that they were at so much
pains to conquer They are retreat
ing toward the west beyond the
Ison8o.
''In the same way as the Germans
went to the aid Of the Austrian
troops the allies are going to give
their support TO the Italian army
where they will find on the Taglia-
mento a line of resistance where II is
to. be hoped the Italian position will
be established, as was ours on the
Marne. There Is no time to lose.
Cividale Is only twenty-five miles
from the Tagliamento, and the enmy's
columns march with prodigious
speed"

Orleans, France, Sept. 27.--- The
city Of Orleans, chiefly notable thus
far for having been delivered from
the English by Joan of Arc, for its
gingerbread. its chocolate and its
preserves, has had the honor of
launching the new national shoe"
The little narrow street called the
rue du Cheval Rouge'-the Street
of the Red Horse, was crowded
all day today with customers for the
patriotic footwear. The single shop
that had it on sale had never done
such a lively trade.
Contrary to expectation the new
shoe has certain elegance and is
made in styles to conform to modern
taste. the American form proving
quite as popular as the more elongat-
ed traditional French shape. 1t Is
made of good box-calf leather fur
nished by the government with no re-
strictions upon the manufacturer and
dealer other than the limitation OF
the selling prices, about $500 for
mems shoe and $500 for women's
styles Each buyer is obliged to sign
a ticket declaring that he has paid
no more than the government price.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL
WILL BE COMPLETE
Legitimate Operations Not toI
Be Disturbed, Announcement
Says, but Profiteering Will
Be Made Difficult,

Washington, Oct. 29.--Profiteering
by retail dealers in foodstuffs will be
made impossible after November l,
the food administration announced to-
night, under a plan to cut off supplies
to those not satisfied with reasonable
margins, Manufacturers, wholesalers
and other handlers of food, whose
businesses will go under license, will
not be permitted to sell to distributors
who geek undue profits.
This is one Of the most sweeping
safeguards" the announcement said,
against high prices which will be in
corporated in the licensing system for
which complete rules and regulations
will be made known within a few
days"
To Deny Right to Sell.
This plan, food administration Off
cials believe, will give the government
entire control of retail prices. Whole
salers and others who continue to sell
to retailers after they are forbidden
to do so by the food administration
will be depied the right to sell goods
under license.
Authority for extending control to
the retailer Is cited in the. announce.
ment ~ follows;
The sfNliII retailers OF food, Of
whom there are several hundred thou
sand in the country, while exempt
from the licensing provisions, are
nevertheless subject to other provi-
sions of the food control act.
Excessive Charges Forbidden.
Every retailer, as we'll as every 9TH
er handler of food, is forbidden under
the law to make any unreasonable
charge. to hoard, to monopolize, waste
or destroy food. or to conspire with
any one to restrict the production,
distribution or supply, or exact excess
siye prices on any necessities.
There are no penalties provided,
but the food administration hopes that
the arrangement of restricting sup
plies to violatprs of the law win be of
some effect, for the retailer will find
himself unable to buy goods from any
wholesaler or manufacturer"
Federal food administrators in all
the states will be directed to keep a
watch for violators and send to the
food administrator the names of re-
tailers asking excessive prices.
VioiatOrs to Be Watched.
The food administration" the an
nouncement says, does not intend to-
disturb any legitimate operations and
will initiate measures only against
hardened and persistent violators of
The law. II takes the position that
the great majority of food sellers, re-
tail as well as wholesale, are patriotic
and honest, and are making every ef-.
fort to comply with good business
principles and sell to the consumer at
the lowest possible prices. Such deal
ers will be in fact protected from IL
legitimate competition. Those few
who persist in abusing their oppon-
ents and continue to take advantage
of the emergency caused by the war
will receive attention.

Construction,


Washington. Oct. 2g-Southern
pine lumber producers at confer
ence here today with shipping board
officials gave assurances that they
would furnish ship timbers for the
wooden ship building plan as fast as
needed. The shipping board had
threatened to take over and operate
mills unless timber was forth
coming in more liberal quantities.
Delays jim delivery Of timber, 1t is
declared, have seriously hampered
wooden shipbulding operations along
the Atlantic and gulf coasts. Ship
ping board officials blame the build
ers, however as well as the timber
producers. inexperienced constructors,
in many instances, II is declared, have
laid keels for too many ships instead
of proceeding with the construction
Of keel at time This lis said to
have made 1t hard for the lumbermen
to meet their requirements.
On the other hand the lumber pro-
ducers, it is claimed, have shipped
material to fill private contracts
ahead of government orders because
of higher prices paid.
