WASHINGTON, May 11.-Versail-
les, chosen as the meeting place for
the allied war conference, which is to
weld the armies and navies of the ma
tions, arrayed against the Central
Powers, into competent fighting bod.
les, is a spot rich in historic events.
Through its lights and shadows and
the vast halls of the stately palace
of Louis XIV, have walked men and
women whose names will live as long
as history itself. Here have been
held solemn conferences at which
great wars have been endede and the
very fate of nations and states de-
termined.
There in 1889 Marie Antoinette
faced the wild mobs of the French
revolution; there in 1871 the father
OF Emperor William was crowned
German emperor and here France
was forced to sign the capitulation OF
Paris.
Significant, too, is the recollection
that the site where American repre-.
sentatives now are cooperating with
Engiacd and France there was signed
in l7.2 the preliminary treaty ending
the American revolution.
In the magnificent palace erected
at an estimated cost OF 5000. 900 900.

that his sole asset in the transaction
was to be. first his personal friend

anything he wanted with.
"2-As a further asset in this com

and gave everyone concerned In this
matter to understand that his posi-

CAMP LEWIS is
BAD FOR HORSES

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash, |
May IA visitor at Camp Lewis |
who ventured out through the three 7,
miles OF barracks between the en-
trance of Camp Lewis and the re-
mount depot would think that he had
suddenly stepped from the army can
tonment into vast horse and mule
ranch in Wyoming or Montana in
stead of part of the national army.
Everywhere one can see there are
corrals, wagon houses, by sheds and
quantities of equipment. The bar
racks are One-story ranch houses and
the atmosphere is altogether one OF
rustic peace rather than prepara-
tiOns for winning war.
There are miles and miles of board
fences, lanes and streets-all muddy
streets where the heavy Washington
rains have been mixed with the pral.
rie soil by thousands of hoofs until it
is thick, sticky, black mess. There
are warehouses also and stockyards
where horses are loaded on trains or
unloadcd.
There are great quantities of hay
stored in the warehouses or in sheds
and more is constantly coming in for
it takes at times l25 tons OF hay a
day to feed the horses and mules
there. At present about l,SOO are out
in field back of the rcmount station
feeding on green forage
The combined experience of these
western ranchcrs now in Uncle Sans
service hasc been used to devise nu-
mcrous improvements in the handling
Of horses which have resulted in
greatly facilitating the work. For
branding horses or examining them
for disease, crowding pen is used,
consisting of narrow alley, one end
OF which opens funnel Snaps and the
other having Il swinging gate for a
wall arranged 30 that the horses can
be held tightly while they are being
branded or examined. The horse is
driven into the funnel shaped end and
as soon as he reaches the opposite
end the gate is swung into place,
squeezing the animal against the op-
pOSite wall. II means safety both for
h lie, aaimal and for the men. The
! l'crowding pen has been. used $4,000
| times without ~ accident, fact
which speaks well for the invention
In the stoCkyards, the alleys and
gates are the same width-f4 feet
80 that when the horses are released
from one pen, the alley can be con.
vcrtcd into another pen and there is
less work in driving the animals
wherever desired. For loading and
unloading a crowding pen is used and
gates of adjustable length permit of
loading without waste of time in spot.
ting them in a limited space. Three
cars can be loaded al once and Cap.
tain Jackson believes his arrange
mCnt means vast saving of time in
getting under way the mounts for
the entire division whenever it shall
be called away.
Perhaps there is no place in the
United States so unravorabIc for. car
ing for large numbers of horses than
Camp Lewis. There is rain the
greater part OF the year. making Of
the roads great rivers Of mud and
every low place is converted into a
pond. But despite these handicaps.
the Camp Lewis rcmount depot men
have constructed the largest rcmount
depot in the United States and prob.
ably no other rcmount station has

PRICE OF FLOUR LOWERED
BY FIXING PRICE OF WHEAT

Reduction of several dollars 4 barrel
in the price Of -four to the consumer
has been effected as the result Of wheat
price fixing and millers' regulations.
the Federal Trade Commission pointed out
today in report of its investigation into
wheat -four milling and jobbing. 1t also
declared that American mills have the
capacity to double their average output.
while the actual profit which millers
will make during the present crop
year." says the report, cannot be final
Iy determined until the end OF the Pc
riod, 1t appears from the information
In the hands Of the Federal Trade Com
mission that the regulations have re-
duced the profits of most mills below
those made during the year 1861.
This with the larger reductions Sc
cured by fixing the price of wheat, has
reduced the price of -four to the con-
and milling regulations have kept -four
prices fairly stable in spite Of an in
creasing shortage due to heavy ship
ments abroad"
The investigation showed that millerS
profits increased from IL cents a bar
rel in 1sre-13 to Sc cents barrel in
the first half of 1917. 1t points out.
however, that the present regulations
of millerS profits at a fixed margin
above cost has the inherent weakness
of not encouraging efficiency in pro-
duction and of affording unpatriotic
millers temptation to dishonesty in cost
accounting, difficult to detect or pre-
vent"
