The Fuel Administration may CO.
operate with the Food ADMINISTERS

tail food profiteers. and force them
to quote fair prices on food neces-
stiles. The plan is now being tried
out in Philadelphia, where the Fuel

II developments there indicate
that IL Is an effective weapon
against the prohteering retailer,
and Food Administrator Hoover
asks national cooperation along
the same line, DIR. Garfield stands
ready to give It.
Has License Control
Under the present food laws the
only control Hoover has over the
retailers prices is by his license
system over the wholesaler. A prof.
teering retailer could be cut on
from obtaining further supplies by
notice from the Food Administra-
tion to the wholesalers to make no
more sales to him. But no i'm
mediate action could be taken
against the man himself.
In Philadelphia the Fuel Admin
istrator is cutting on fuel and light
from such profiteering retailers as
the Food Administration indicates.
Loss Of light is a blow to them now
and In the winter loss Of fuel would
close their stores at once.
Reports from many parts Of the
country are coming in showing
many retail grocers are taking ad-
vantage of the country's needs to
raise prices with greatly increased
margins of profit to themselves. II
is Hoover's purpose to block this
game effectually.
May Amend Law.
The law creating the Food Ad-
ministratiou may be amended TO

List Of Killed, Severely Wounded and
Missing Within a Week=-Names Of Many
Thousands Held up Because Of Dis:
CrepancieS in Enlistment Numbers
MUCH OF DELAY DUE TOFACTU.S.
TROOPS WERE ON MANY FRONTS

1885 total wounded only 90. SAL have
been cleared finally.
The statement gives the following ON
cial explanation OF the discrepancy AZ
10 the wounded: Ten thousand men
seriously wounded and reported by ca
bic are being held Up because OF dis
crepaneies in initials or enlistment NUM-
bers. and 10000 men less seriously
wounded, including many slight CASUAL
ties. are still 20 be drawn from the hos
pital records which have been forward
ed by courier from France.
These records are not alphabetical
and work on them niece ssarily is slow
as the same name usually appears more
than once. In one ca . a single name
appears in % different places. The work
upon these hospital reports was resi-
ouslv delayed by the influenza epidemic
but is now going on steadily.
The foregoing statement does not
cover all the discrepancies. as will 10
seen. but in dealing with the great mum.
Der o. cases il is 20 be assumed that the
remainder is i'll process OF checking and
that reports will be made within a few
days as to all identifable casualties.
The statement attributes the great de-
lay in reporting casualties and the large
number OF errors which have been found
TO the fact that Our growing army was
operating on many .ronts under many
commands and in the later fighting I,
was US ed to press the enemy for de-
cision, every other consideration bein;
subordinated.
