General Charles G. Treat
Detailed to Duty in Italy;
Depends on Gen. Wood

Washington, May 31.-Orders de-
failing Brigadier General Charles G..
Treat to duty in Italy were issued
by the War Department to-day. 1t
was said that the orders might be
revoked as they are contingent to
some extent on the final assignment
of Major General Leonard Wood,
who though assigned to command
the western department probably
will be transferred at his own re-
quest to a divisional camp.
The exact nature of the duties in
tended for General Treat has not
been disclosed. Two other general
officers of the Army already are in
Italy. Brigadier-General George p.
Scriven. in Rome. as military at
tache. and Major-General Eben Swift,
heading the special military mission.
The fact that General Scriven was
recalled from the retired list to take
his present detail has led to the sup
position, that he is to be relieved by
General Treat.

BREAD SHORTAGE
is BEING .AVERTED

supply the demand on the concerns,
Harrisburg trade will be supplied
of the out-of-town dealers. This
matter is now being taken up with
the out-of-town dealers, explaining
the condition. AS much of this trade
as possible is being eliminated for the
next four weeks by the Standard
Company. The local bakeries in such
towns can in practically every IN
stance supply the increased demand
caused by the cutting off of the Har-
risburg supply and in this manner
will do much to alleviate conditions
in Harrisburg.
No Difficulty So Far
The only difficulty that exists now
is that found in the delivery prob
lem and this is being considerably
lightened through the hearty CO.
operation of the dealers that their
customers may not suffer. The
Standard Company is now making
but one delivery each day in efforts
to eliminate as much waste motion
as possible. Dealers have been ask
ed to give their orders a day ahead
of time that they may be fully sup
piled in the one delivery.
Merchants in all parts of the city
this morning reported that they were
experiencing no difficulty in securing
a full supply of bread from the two
Harrisburg concerns now operating.
None reported any difficulty in he
ing supplied. H. w. Long, manager
of the Standard Bakery, this morn
ing announced that in case any per-
son in Harrisburg has not received
a sufficient supply of bread to meet
his needs, he may come to the bak-
cry at any time and secure enough.
Statements issued by L. NJ. Brick
er this morning were to the effect
that a total of 15S,000 counts" had
been produced by his plant within
the past thirty-siX hours. This is
equivalent to 735, 900 counts" week.
ly, triple the ordinary supply of $780,
600 counts" Manager Long, of the
Standard Bakery, announced that
So, 900 counts" daily are now be-
ing produced by his concern. So,
with such productions and with the
plants running seven days each
week, Harrisburg need fear no bread
famine.

Revenue Hearings
Will Begin June 6

Washington, May 31.-The Ways
and Means Committee has fixed June
6 as the date for beginning public
hearings on the new revenue bill.
The plan approved by the Ways
and Means Committee calls for
recess during July, on the theory that
the revenue measure will be COM
pleted in committee on August 1,
with passage of the bill in the
House by the middle or last of
August and a recess of the House
while the bill is under debate in the
Senate. Leaders are unanimous in the
opinion, however, that the measure
cannot be ready for the Presidents
signature before late in October at
the earliest.
In a statement after the commit
tee meeting, Chairman Kitchin an
nounced that the revenue measure
would follow the general trend out
lined by President Wilson In his re-
cent message to Congress urging the
new levies.
The $4,000, 100000 additional rev.
enue, sought by the administration
as necessary to a successful prosecu-
ton of the war, will be drawn large
ly, Mr.. Kitchin said, from taxes
upon incomes, excess of war prof
its, luxuries and semi-luxuries."

Several thousand miles away from his

Of the New York Herald and maintained
for himself one Of the most commanding
positions in American journalism. For
more than quarter Of century he lived
in Paris and worked simultaneously there
and in New York. No man before him or

From almost every other angle his posi-

the largest newspaper fortune accumulated
by any American publisher up to that

Conservation OF Finances.

The Federal Reserve Bulletin Of April
divides private loans into two general
classes:
(a) Loans to facilitate production or dis
tribution.
(b) Loans for nonproductive or nondis-
tributive purposes.
Loans of the second class are usually for
nonessential purposes; types Of this class
ofloans are loans for purchasing or carrying
property or for additions to or improve
ments Of property not used in production
or distribution. and loans to States or mu-
inequalities for improvements.
Since the farmers are being asked to
produce more than ever before loans to
farmers for productive purposes, says the
Bulletin. must have the right Of way; but
loans for the acquisition Of additional
property, unless production is to be in
creased thereby. and loans for unnecessary
construction and for articles Of luxury
should be discouraged
Manufacturers, except those whose in
dustry is necessary to the prosecution Of
the war, are urged to extinguish their debts
rather than borrow even toincrease capac-
ity or output.
Merchants are not to be encouraged in
carrying large stocks Of fashionable and
luxurious articles, or articles for mere com.
fort.
The banks of the country are urged t
consider these matters in making loans tC
their customers and cooperate toward the
conservation of credit and financial re
sources so necessary to the national wei
fare now.
