WASHINGTON, July PA million.

fascinating bargain the government has
Just picked up.
The millers OF the country are
obliged TO sell this amount at this price
because they have been pronteerlng. It
was arranged many months ago that
the millers should have certain mar
gin OF profit for their milling, including
the sale Of the bran and middlings. 1t
is found that very large prices were
extracted from farmers for these by
products used 10 feed cattle, so that
in some cases the millers get as much
as SO barrel proft on flour. All this
profit must now be distributed in the
form OF -four at 81 barrel 70 the gov

The war, with its government regu-
lation OF many lines OF industry, has
brought 10 light some peculiar things
In the economic world For Instance,
the Federal Trade Commission finds that
as much money is spent for advertising

Some peculiar happenings were caus-
ed by the government regulation OF
the price OF flour while leaving the by
products OF flour and other articles un-
regulated. For Instance, In Minnesota
1t was found recently that rye flour,
which was selling at si2 barrel, was
being diluted" with wheat flour, which
was selling at 50 a barrel.
In England the price regulating busl-
ness has been more successful than r.
the United States Instead Of naming
a fixed price for wheat alone, the }
ish government ilxed prices on the flve
principal food products for a period o.
Ave years. One result in the matter Of
wheat has been the addition OF four
million acres to the British wheat fields
so that the British Islands are produc-
ing 10 per cent OF their food product
where before the war they produced
less than 2s per cent
Substitutes used In making bread In
many cases cost more than -four This
fact was brought out recently by case
brought before the Federal Trade Board
by the food administrator and one OF
the principal bakers OF Omaha, Neb.
The food administrator ordered the
price OF a pound loaf reduced to 7 cents.
and when the Bakers Association re-
fused to obey, called on IN Washington
authorities 10 revoke the bakers IL
censes
The latter appealed and asked for
an inquiry as TO the cost OF making
a loaf Of bread, which showed that an
increase in the cost OF substitutes used
made the cost OF the bread 7h cents.
The baker did not lose his license.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 16.- The United States shipping board an nounces today that it has decided upon the construction of fourteen large concrete tankers. It was also stated that the building Of four con. crete cargo vessels would be started immediately.
 Concrete as d material for ship construction, while a comparatively new idea. is rapidly becoming racog- nized among shipbuilders to be. very desirable. The 336-foot concrete ship Faith that was launched at Redwood City, California. recently, demonstrat. ed to those interested in boat build. ing that reinforced concrete is a great deal more flexible than steel.
 The first experiments in the Unit ed States in the use Of concrete as boat building material was in the construction of several small boats. At their trial these proved to be sea. worthy in every respect. It is thought that the decision of the ship. ping board is result of these ex. periments.

FIGHT RENEWED ON RESOLUTION
 BY PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 16.- The President today renewed his fight against the senate's adoption of Chamberlain's resolution institut- ing an inquiry into the various war boards. The President advised Sen ator William H. Thompson of Kan sas that the resolution as amended by the senate resolutions committee yesterday was still objectionable to the administration in every phase.
 It seems that the bill as intro duced by Senator Chamberlain of Oregon stands but small chance of passage. since the President has declared himself to be so strongly opposed to it. President Wilson stat ed that. considering ail circumstanc. es, the Chamberlain resolution, if passed, would in effect authorize a dragnet investigation by the military committee. It is intimated that the President will not favor the passage of the bill in any form. no matter what amendments are recommended for 1t by the senate resolutions com. mittee.

HUGHES TO AID
 INVESTIGATION
 INTO AIRCRAFT

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 16.- It is expected that Charles Evan Hughes will arrive here in few days to assist in the investigation of the criminal charges in connec. tion with the aircraft program.
 Former Justice Hughes was ap- pointed by President Wilson to aid the board of inquiry which is con- ducting the investigation. Upon his arrival 1t is expected that he will go over the plans of the inquiry with the department of justice.
 The most important of the charg. es against the aircraft production board were filed by Gutzon Borglum. a well known sculptor of New York and Washington. It was later re- ported that evidence had been brought forth to show that Borglum had instigated these charges from personal motives. It was stated that he. as silent partner, was inti. mately connected with the establish ment of new aircraft producing corporation. This evidence Borglum emphatically denounced as scur, rilous attack upon him by his enc mics.

ALLIES EXPECT
 BIG INCREASE IN AMERICANS

LONDON, May 16.-In an address delivered before the Royal Colonial Institute, Harry Britain. secretary of the English Pilgrims club. said that the preparations made on the western front by the Americans were amazing in their immensity.
 Mir. Britain. who has just re. turned from tour of the allied DO. sitions on the western front, was very enthusiastic when speaking of the American forces. He said that he had visited several camps of the Yankees and everywhere he saw signs that the Americans were in the war for good. He spoke of the morale of the Sammies as being ex. cellent. He stated that plans were being made by the allied command. CTS for the accommodation of five million Americans.
 In his address Mir Britain also said that if the Germans did not give in before many weeks had pass ed the American forces would be in creased to any amount necessary to defeat the Huns. He told the Eng fish people tha, they need have nc fear but what America was now a very important factor in the war against the central powers.

YANKEE TROOPS BE COMMANDED
 BY AMERICANS

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 16.- The American forces which are now brigaded with the French and Brit ish forces on the west front will fight under American commanders when the Americans comprise the greater per cent of those units. This plan is expected to be put into ope ration very shortly, as the size of the American forces is increasing rapidly.
 It. has been learned that General Foch is directing the operations ol the Italian forces along the Italian front. This was found to be a de sirable plan by the allied war strate gists. If the expectations of the al lied commanders are fulfilled. Gener al Pershing may soon have com mand of several French and British units. This would only be in cases where these units would be included in divisions in which the American forces were in the majority.
 From such a plan being devised il would seem that the American troops are to be used as they arrive in France. It is evident that the allied commanders do not expect to wal, until it is possible to have an en tire American army It is believed by these commanders that the mix ing of the American troops with the French and British will tend to make more efficient unit;
 AS the American forces grow in size on the western front. other Am erican generals will be given com mands that embrace the mixed ma tionalities, This plan has met with the approval of the war department of the United States.

AIRSHlP MAIL
 TO ARMY POSTS
 IN CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-Post. master Fay announced today that an aerial postal service is to be installed in the near future in California This service will be on the same lines as the service that was recently started in the east. This mail will be carried up to distance of a thousand miles between different military posts throughout the state
 In making the announcement, Post master Fay stated that it would be the policy of the post office depart. ment to carry only important mill tary mail at first. It was thought that in a not distant future a regu. lar aerial service would be installed between the large cities in this state. This service will be in the nature of an experiment. although the postal officials do not doubt that 1t will prove successful.
 An aerial service is now in opera. tion between several large cities of the eastern states. and 1t is gradu- ally being enlarged by the post office department as 1t is proven to be a success.

PAPER CLAIMS
 U. s. PROMISED
 IMMENSE ARMY

PARIS, May 16.-L'Homme Libre paper that is controlled by Pre- mier Clemenceau, says in this morn ing's edition that America has prom ised to have 100000 fighting men in France by the end of the year
 The paper does not state. where il received this information. but it is taken to be authentic owing to the publications close connection with the French government. The paper states that in order for the United States to maintain this force on the firing line it will be necessary fol them to have at least two million men in the quartermaster's depart ment and other non-combatant branches of the army.
 This will mean that the American government cannot depend upon any of the allied countries for assistance in supporting her fighting men. but that every phase of their sustenancs must be maintained by the home government.
 If 1t is the plan of the war depart ment to place this number of men in the trenches in Europe within the ensuing year. it will be necessary that thousands of specialists in the work of making munitions be em ployed. Such a fighting force would require an immense army of non

AUSTRIAN SHIP DESTROYED BY
 ITALIAN NAVY

ROME, May 16.-Early Tuesday morning the Italian naval forces en- tered Pola, the principal naval sta tion of Austria, and. by lodging the Austrian patrol boats and search lights, succeeded in torpedoing an Austrian battleship of the yeribus Unitis type.
 This type of battleship was the largest that the Austrian govern ment possessed, being rated at twen- ty thousand tons. At the beginning of the present war four vessels of the Veribus Unitis type comprised the most modern vessels in the Aus. trian navy. They were all classed as dreadnaughts and each carried a force of about one thousand men.
 While the Italian naval forces were engaged in the precarious work of torpedoing the battleship. several Italian seaplanes engaged the enc my airmen in battle in the sky. Fierce fighting ragged for some time between the two opposing aerial forces. but the Italians succeeded in downing two Austrian airmen. who fell into the Adriatic sea and were drowned. The Italian aviators then returned safely to their ships. No casualties were suffered by the Italian airmen during their engage. ment.

ITALIANS WANT
 AMERICANS TO
 HEARTEN ARMY

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 16.-- It was announced here today that the Italian government has requested that American troops be sent to the Italian front. Such movement, it was said. would greatly hearten the Italian troops, as well as the civili- an population.
 The request did not ask for any stated number of Americans to be sent. but seemed to intimate that even a small force would be gladly welcomed. The Italians have been experiencing very heavy fighting along their whole front, and it is believed that any reinforceemnts by the American forces would greatly strengthen the Italian army morally. It would also serve to convince the Italian forces and the civilian popu. lation that America is really in the war and in earnest.
 No statement has been made as to whether the war department intends to comply with this request or not.
