tary information can OF course be
secured by patrols and scouts, but a
military secret service or spy sys-
tenn is absolutely necessary to the
commander of the armies in the field.
That the German system of military
espionage has been developed to re-
markable degree Is no secret. Had
the other nations of Europe been as
we'll prepared in the branch of SER
vice some Of their defeats probably
would have been averted.
Artillery officers for the United
States army present problem that is
bit more difficult to solve, as this
branch Of the service is in need of
mathematical minds. which also have
mathematical minds, which also have
special knowledge of artillery. There
are, of course, many men in civil life
who would make ideal artillery Off
GERS with a little training, but the
question is, in the event of an unfore-
seen leading OF hostile troops (Which
Is, OF course, q rather remote pos
sibility), who is going to have time to
train them?
AS for transport and quartermaster
corps there would be little or no diff
ficulty in finding plenty of business
men who would be capable Of handling
these branches OF service in fitting
manner. The system of supply and
transportation might be slow at first
but when one is acquainted with the
fact that in New York state alone
there are 310,457 automobiles, fully
half of which could be utilized as
light or heavy transport trucks, and
the remainder converted into cars for
officers and for courier service. 1t
will be understood that there are no
very great obstacles in the way of
supply trains.
Railroad transportation on account
Of the length of our coast line would
present some difficulties at first, but

great speed.

turing industries OF the nation has

Information Relative to
Proposed Food Controll

In response to a letter regard
ing the fixing of prices of food
products, the secretary of agri-
culture May 16, sent the follow
ing reply:
Your letter of May !, with in.
closure, has been brought to my
attention. Your correspondent
expresses apprehension from TIE
the talk in the newSpa pers about
the government setting Il pIi,e
on foodstutfs. He seems to tnlnk
that it is contemplated to fix u
price to producers which would
be SO low that they could not
secure a reasonable return. OF
course there has been much con-
fused writing in the papers. On
ly two suggestions have been
made: One Is that the govern
ment be given power to fix.
minimum price with the view to
stimulate production. This price
would be sufficiently high to in
sure producers against lost. 1t
could not have the effect feared
by your correspondent. because
the very Object would be to slim
ula,e production by assuring suf-
ficienlly high prices to producers.
The other suggestion is that the
government b. given power to
fix a maximum price. in extreme
emergencies. to break corners or
to control eXtortion. 1t is not
contemplated that the govern
ment, if it had the power to fix
q maximum price. would an
nounce the existence Of such q
price in reference to any one or
mere commodities in advance of
the appearance Of an acute sit
uation; nor is it contemplated
that such a price, il fixed, would

single thought in this connection
is that the power might be used
as a club, to be applied only in
individual cases where it is clear
that an individual or corporation
had established a coner or was
was practicing extortion. The
power, it is suggest d 70 I'D be

the abuse eliminated, the incident
would be closed. Any further
exercise of the power depend up
