Threatened by Submarine.

Now, success of the earnest efforts of
the United States government TO rush
shipments of bread grain to Switzerland
is threatened by the action of Germa n
submarines, which, according to now fully
confirmed reports from Switzerland, have
made a start on new policy of ruth
leSsneSS by sinking the neutral Spanish
steamer Sardinero, secured with great
difficulty TO carry food 10 that country.
The torpedoing OF the Sardinero, carrying
nearly 1000 tons of cereals for Switzer-
land. can. by 10 stretch of the imagina
ton, be brought within the scope of Ger
many's proclaimed submarine policy, since
the vessel was engaged not in an enemy
but in a supposedly safe trade for a
neutral state. was route to a port to
which Germany had explicitly promised to
leave open d safe passage nd was torpe-
decd outside the prohibited zone.
ITO add to the deliberateness of the
offense. the Sardinero was destroyed
after the submarine commander had
ships papers and convinced himself of
the nature and destination of the cargo,
50 that no plea of q mistake can be en-
tered by Germany The evident iutApt
and result of the act was to present
Switzerland, whose urgent and imme
diate need for food is well known to
Germany, from receiving the American
grain: TO destroy a Spanish ship for
after thewar trade and to raise by this
much the relative value and Importance
of each German ship ahoat at the end
of the war.

Clarense r. Wilson. food admins
traitor for the District of Columbia, is
sued today his first fair price" list for
foodstuffs in Washington. Previous
lists had merely given the prices quoted
by wholesalers and retailers, and it was
specifically stated by the food admin
istrator that he did not attempt to say
whether they were fair or unfair. In
the new list he gives the range of
prices which retailers pay to whole
saiers and the range of retail prices
which the consumer should pay. The
food administrator holds that any re-
taller who asks more than the maxi
mum price given in his list will be
overcharging his customers.
The fair retail prices Will be deter
mined upon by Mr.. Wilson each week
after a conference with his advisory
committee, which numbers among its
members wholesalers. retailers and
consumers. There will be issued but
one list each week The list published
to-day is confined to cereals and sugar.
but other articles will be added from
time to time.
