TEAMS LOOK BAD

The team in all four games looked bad, showing great nervousness from being overanxious. They have a new system Of eating at the Cawthon hotel, where the team is stopping. each player being allowed to clean up $3 worth of food per day.
 Moley says that too much food has thrown the team off their stride.
 The complete reversal of form by the Mobile team after losing six straight has been remarkable. Today Manager McIn- tyre played Moore a semi-pro at third base and while he had one bad error he made up for it with a corking double that started the scoring.
 This is the story of how the runs were made:
 Mobile scored their first runs in the second. Golvin, first up, beat out hit to short Moore doubled to left, Coombs misjudging the ball, and Golvin took third. Laydens double to right scored C5oIyin and Moore

market. Coincident with this
statement, the wheat market
opened at s2.14, but one cent low

Grain men have been collaborat-

AN ATLANTIC PORT. Aug.
13.-America's war zone begins
at a spiked iron picket fence,
skirting a waterfront street in
this busting seaport town.
On one side of that fence
movie shows with gaudy posters,
peaceful groceries, motherly
housewives doing their market
ing, women in bright, summary
clothes wheeling baby buggies.
And on the other side--vast
fields of parked artillery caissons
grimly shrouded cannon, their
shouts pointing skyward, am
balances, military motors. swarm
ing men in khaki, a gray atmos-
phere of war. This was the pic
ture unfolded today on a trip to
the unnamed port. Sentries march
up and down outside the picket
fence.
One-half the street belongs to
the town, the other half to Uncle
Sam, and those who try to cross
to the forbidden sidewalk on
Uncle Sans find cold steel threat
ening their vitals.
Mountains of Boxes
Once beyond the guarded gates
the civilian who is permitted to

matte hanging at his hip is al

He sees a row of huge ware
houses, piled to the lofty roofs
with mountains of boxes-labeled
hard bread" "beans," soap"
Those boxes will be opened in
France. He sees great court
yard, crammed full of war ma
chinery, all painted battleship
gray. In perfect order, each pile

upon thousands of tent poles, tent
stakes, ten floorings and can

There are ranks of army
wagons with khaki tops like those
of old prairie schooners, ambu-
lances with stretchers swung from
their roofs, battalions of motor
trucks, supplies of every conceiva-

HOOVER'S
DRIVE IS
STARTED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Her-
bert Hoover today began his drive
on high prices. His first effort
is directed toward lowering and
stabilizing the price OF the Amer
lean loaf. His next step will be to
stabilize on canned goods, meats
and other foodstuffs.
He started today by serving
notice on wheat barons that he
will vigorously enforce the food
control law and declared the gov
eminent is prepared to buy the
whole 1917 wheat harvest, about
$50, 100000 bushels, If necessary
to protect both producers and con-
sumner. He called upon all ele-
vators, milers, distributors and
bakers to restrict margins OF
profits.
Here is what he proposes to do.
starting September 1:
License all elevators and mills
over 100 barrels daily capacity.
Open government agencies to
purchase wheat at all the principal
terminals. and resell at reasonable
prices for export and to millers.
Establish a committee under
President Garfield of Williams
college to determine a fair price
for the 1917 wheat harvest.
Call upon elevators and millers
to fix a price schedule based on
patriotism, designed to stabilize
the price of wheat flour, and final
ly to insure response Hoover will
issue licenses only to those eleva-
tors and millers who guarantee to
charge reasonable price for ware
house service; to store no wheat
more than 30 days without his ap-
proval. and to submit regular re-
ports on receipts and shipments.
Grain exchanges have been asked
to suspend all quotations on flu
ture wheat.
Persons-whether or not en-
gagged in the trade-holding wheat
or flour contracts larger than nee
essary for ordinary business, will
be prosecuted and are advised to
"liquidate their contracts at once" "
To encourage home production
of flour, Hoover will stipulate for
a large proportion Of flour exports
instead of wheat.

RAISES
REMAIN

Increases In salaries of city en-
ployes, recently arranged by the
city council as a temporary relief
against the high cost of living,
are to become permanent, accord
ing to 1918 budgets of municipal
departments, now being prepared
at the city hall.
All commissioners are prepar-
ing their salary items for the
coming year on the basis of in
creased salaries granted up to
Jan. 1.
The Increase will make the
budget 100000 larger than that
of 1917.
Where the money is to come
from has not been indicated by
councilmen. The municipal ex-
penses have been a severe strain
during 1917, and altho there will
be a slight increase in revenue
from personal taxes next year, 1t
will not be nearly sufficient to
make up the difference in salaries.
Because of the increasing cost
of all materials. current expenses
in every large department will be
larger next year. City Clerk
Nickeus and Controller Shoe
maker announced Monday that
they could operate on the same
expenses as before, but all other
departments indicated a demand
for more money.
Budget sessions begin early In
September. Councilmen said last
year that they had cut expenses
to the bone. and that no possible
increase in cost of operating tho
city government was possible. SO
the coming budget session may
develop some fireworks.

MONROE
DOCTRINE
AT ISSUE
Especial to The Times. }

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. IA.
Formal international recogni-
ton of and adhesion to the Mon
roe doctrine--that Is what Uncle
Sam is going to insist upon when
representatives of the warning ma
tions finally gather to discuss
peace terms.
1t is assumed here by all that
the United States and her allies
will be the victors.
This country entered the war
with the declaration that it de-
sired no material gain, no annexa-
tions and no indemnities for itself.
No other nation will be in like
case.
France will be DESTROYS of AL
sace-Lorraine, and money for the
restoration Of ravaged northern
France.
u. 8. VIII Speak Up.
England will want to hold the
German colonies in Africa, the
German Pacific ocean islands and
the Mesopotamian valley, which
will block the German Berlin-to-
Bagdad scheme.
Belgium will want restoration
and indemnity for ruin.
Serbia will be in like case.
Italy will claim Trieste and the
Dalmatian coast.
Rumania will want that portion
of Pennsylvania which contains
3,000,0 900 Rumanians.
And so on. And right when
they are in the midst of their
palaver the American representa-
tives will probably say:
while we are about 1t, let's
write into International law this
Monroe doctrine, sometimes chal-
lenged and disputed.
The aliens, 1t is expected, will
freely assent.
Remove Big Danger.
The central powers, defeated,
will be compelled to assent.
This will automatically remove
great danger Germany's eyes
are upon Latin-America.
Mexico is looked upon as a
storehouse of raw materials.
Colombia and Venezuela have
islands for coaling and wireless
stations threatening our Panama
canal. Southern Brazil Is large
ly colonized by Germans.
But once Germany is forced to
recognize the Monroe doctrine, it
will not be possible for her to. buy
stray islands or to indulge in
Latin-American colony dreams,
without again challenging the
whole civilized world.
