Hertlins to Berlin.

Amsterdam Oct. 30.-The Bavarian
premier, Count Won Hertling, who has
been mentioned for the German chan
cellorship, arrived In Berlin Sunday
from Munich, but it is believed here
the only object Of his visit Is to give
advice on the general situation. His
flat footed and repeatedly announced
opposition to all parliamentary or
democratic developments Of German
institutions as well as his advanced
age, seem to have impaired his avail
ability for the chancellorship. On Sat-
urday and Sunday Emperor William
received in audience a considerable
number of personages, presumably to
inform himself on the political situa-
ton. 1t Is evident the emperor no
longer trusts exclusively on the judg-
ment Of Professor Won Valentini, chief
Of his civil cabinet, who is charged
with keeping in touch with the trend
of political opinion on Germany and
informing the emperor in regard to it..
No members Of the reichstag were
received by the emperor who is care
fully guarding the surface attributes
of his prerogrative Of making and un-
making ministers without consulting
the representatives Of the people.

delay. This is, of course, no certain
indication Of the exact form this heap
will take, but the general assumption
seems to be that concrete reinforce
ments contributed by Great Britain
and France will appear on the Italian
front.
The Morning Post. however, con.
tends that the best way Of helping
Italy is to keep hammering the Ger
mans on the western front. 1t adds:
A German victory over the Italians
will not help them if we keep striks
ing hard in Flanders. 1t is maxim
in war never to allow the strategy to
be diverted to the enemy, and every
move of our enemy now 10 to AttemDe

A Gamblers Move.
Taking the view that the German
success Is due partly to treachery and
that Germany is using the same tools
in Italy as those with which the Rus
sian armies were betrayed, the Post
declares:
Let our statesmen awake and coun-
ter these activities. This may be even
of more service than any military aid
we can render"
While some commentators believe
that the Italians will recover and that
the Germans will not gain any perma-
nent advantage. The Daily Express
says:
Germany has made gamblers 8
move and won the first coup. That's
all. We may wait and see what will
happen without nisgiving."

vantage OF the emergency caused by

WILL CUT RETAIL PROFITS.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Profteering by
retail dealers in foodstuffs will be made
Impossible after Nov. 1. the food ad-
ministrat1on announced last night, un-
der plan to cut off supplies to those
not satisfied with reasonable margins.
Manufacturers, wholesalers and other
handlers Of foods, whose businesses
will go under license, will not be per-
mitted to sell to distributors who seek
undue profits.
This is one Of the most sweeping
safeguards" the announcement said,
against high prices which will be in

This plan, food administration Of
fcials believe, will give this govern
ment entire control OF retail prices.
Wholesalers and others who continue
to sell to retailers after they are for
hidden to do so by the food administra-
tion Will be denied the right to sell
goods under license.
PIans For Control.
Authority for extending control to
the retailer Is cited in the announce
ment, as follews:
'The small retailers Of food, Of whom
there are several hundred thousand In
the country while exempt from the
licensing provisions, are nevertheless
subject to other provisions Of the food
control act. Every retailer, as we'll as
every ether handler or .ooc, Is icr-
hidden under the law to make any un-
charge, to hoard, to monop-
olize waste or destroy food or to con-
spire with any one to restrict the pro-
duction, distribution or supply, or ex-
act excessive prices on any necessi-
ties.
There are no penalties provided but
the food administration hopes that the
arrangement Of restricting supplies to
yiolators Of the law will be of some
effect, for the retailer will find him
self 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 administration the names Of re-
tailers asking the excessive prices.
"The food administration" the an
nouncement says. does not intend to
