FRENCH PUT STOP
To HIGH PRICES
Minister of Supplies Condemns
Act of Merchants in Over
charging Yankee Soldiers

PARIS. Aug. The French minis
! ter of agriculture and supplies has
acted to stop profteering against
American soldiers.
Store keepers have been selling
American and British troops their
goods at prices higher than those
charged to French civilians and in an
order issued to all the projects OF
France. the minister of agriculture
has condemned this practice and or
dered that it be stopped.
81 cannot condemn too greatly such
procedure" he says. "as it is in
complete opposition to the spirit
which should exist between allies
let us not forget that for h same
ideal and with the same effort b arm
les of our allies of Europe and Amer
iica are marching with ours to dispute
foot by foot the aggressions OF the
enemy on the soil of our Invaded re-
gions.
Undoubtedly 1 realize that some of
the increases in prices n a be OK
planned at least in part by the diff
culties of u retailers | n getting pro-
visions and the work of our small pro-
iducers- But these reasons can not
Justify the asking of higher prices to
men who are united to us by the fra
iternity of arms OF the battlefelds of
France.
The government is therefore re-
solved to put a stop to these regret
table practices. All persons guilty of
such acts are to be delivered to Justice
to be tried by the application of the
law of April 20. 1916, on illegal in
creasing of prices"
To assist in checking ~prohteering
General Pershing has ordered that the.
American soldiers report all cases of
excess prices charged them.

Lieutenant Johnston proceeded to
headquarters and told his superior
what he had done. declaring that he

quoted as having said, "and you have

me like the lieutenant did, SO no mat

I have no apology to make for resent

Instead Of being courtmartialed,
Lieutenant Johnston was promoted.
His ability a. a "scrapper" evidently
pleased his superiors.
After the fight incident Lieuten-
ant Johnston was detailed to accom-
pany a tank crew to Pittsburg in the
interest of the fourth liberty loan
drive. The crew carried their tank
to the Smoky City and proceeded
through the streets, the members of
the crew making speeches to the
