The time was when a man in uni

dance. especially in cities where naval
stations existed, and at times a soldier
or sailor was looked upon asa neces-
sary evil and not = member of good

today the wealthiest residents OF our

their homeA Many Of these boys who

COMBATING SUBMARINES,
REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT
SOUNDS PRAISE.
Massachusetts and Illinois Senator's
However, Not Agreed as to Inspir.
alton OF Raid.

Washington, June 6.-Complete
confidence in the measures taken by
the navy to deal with submarine raid
ers was expressed in the senate today
by spokesmen on both sides of the
chamber. Senator Lewis, of Illinois,
Democratic whip, and Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, Republican, Joined
in declaring that the navy was alert
and ready for the enemy.
These expressions came in the
midst of a sharp debate preciptated
by the reading by Senator Brandegee
of Connecticut of q newspaper edi-
torial criticising the navy depart
ment for not warning shipping of the
presence of the submarines Senators
Lewis and Lodge agreed there was
no complaint against the navy,
though they had very different the
ories as to what possibly drew the
submarines to American shores. SEN
atOr Lewis said the attack was invited
by false statements in congress and
elsewhere regarding the nations un-
preparedness; while the Massachu-
setts senator suggested that loose
brass and boasts about the number
OF American troops transported over
seas had contributed to the appear
ance of the raiders.
In connection with the warning OF
shipping, acting Secretary Roosevelt
disclosed late today that 1; radio mes
sage was sent broadcast by the navy
more than a week ago informing al
shipping and shore stations that enc.
my submarines might appear at any
point along the Atlantic coast. Al
that time the news that the enem,
had attacked schooners off the Vir
einia capes had not reached the de
partment.
Steamers and all craft in port re
ceived the message. Slow movin,
sailing vessels, without wireless
however, had to take their chances il

FORCE FOOD PRICES DOWN.
Nationwide Move Among Consumer.
Ordered by Hoover.

Washington, June IA country.
| wide move to reduce the cost of food
to the consumer and standardize
methods of compelling the observance
by dealers of fair price lists" was
ordered today by Food Administrator
Hoover
Prices will be published in every
country, town and city, and consum-
ers will be asked to cooperate with
officials in forcing merchants to bring
their prices to uniform level
II this can be accomplished, a
statement issued by the food admin
istration says, the average buyers
will not only be protected, but the pa
triotic merchant who has followed the
food administrations suggestions re-
garding prices will be protected
against the INSCRIPTIONS dealer who
has attempted to take advantage of
the situation"
In carrying out the new standard
ization plan the administration will
establish price-interpreting commit
tees composed Of representatives Of
wholesalers and retailers and con-
sumers. The board will determine
fair retail prices on the basis of the
commodities which comprise a large
part of the nations diet The publish
cd list will give the range of maxi
mum selling prices, showing a reason
able price which will reflect the prices
which should obtain in "cash and car
ry' stores and a higher price repre-
senting a fair price for the credit
and delivery" stores
TIE local administrator for each 10.
cality will act as chairman of the
price board.
Newspapers will be asked to CO.
operate by setting aside a particular
position weekly for publication of the
lists, with foot notes on the food prob
lem.
close check will be kept on OBJ
servance Of the lists. Consumers will
be expected to report to the local food
administrator any store charging more
than the established price for any
commodity These reports will be in
vestigated, and will form the basis
for action in making a distinction be-
tween the patriotic dealers and the
profiteers.
One form Of indirect control over
the retail stores may be exercised by
cutting off their supplies at the
source-instructing licensed dealers
not to do business with offending re-
t3ilers.
