Washington, May simultaneously
with the announcement today that
233, 900 men from 45 states had been
called to join the colors in May,
Sec. Baker indicated the scope of the
governments plans for increasing its
fighting strength, by stating that con-
gress had been asked to appropriate
approximately SIS 5,O00,000,000 for the
army for the next fiscal year. That
amount is exclusive of funds r"oEi :
ed in the fortification bill which not
only covers coast defenses, but as
a rule provides the bulk of heavy
field ordinances.
Last year the army estimates ag-
gregated $500, 900 900 to pay for d
force of 100000 men which has al
ready been exceeded.
The call of a quarter of a million
during May, goes to all States, except
California Oregon and Nevada, which
with the District of Columbia already
have supplied so large part of their
quota that it was decided not to il
clude them this time The movement
in most states will begin May 10Th.
BY this order the war department
aDandons its plan of assembling meG
In ever monthly increments of ap-
proximately 100000. Under the orig
inaI program is was intended to call
out not to exceed $4,000 men during
ISIS. The call for $4,000 in April
and 23S, 900 III : lnonth will bring or

No Limit Fixed.
Let us avoid specific figures Sec
retary Baker said again today. "They
imply .mits There is no limit. We
will cau out enough men to make VIC
tory certain. We call them as rapidly
as they can be trained and sent for
ward"
In preparation for this tremendous
Increase in the army the house mil
itary committee was told today that
every existing cantonment in the
country will be enlarged and National
Guard camp utilized to it's full capac-
fty. 1t is regarded as probable that
some new eantonments must be built,

LIEUT.. O'BR|EN
QUA|LS BEFORE

MoMENCE, Ill, Jan. 23.-TherS
were delirious doings in this little old
town tonight for Lieut.. Patrick
O'Brien, who went away last spring
just plain Pat. but returned today .
world-famous hero.
He is the man who battled with
seven German aviators 5000 feet up
in the air, got two OF them. and was
then shot down himself, waking up a
day or so later in a German hospital
with q bullet in his lip that had en-
tered near his ear. Afterward, while
being takel to the interior of Ger
many, he leaped from q fast-movIng
train and dodged sentries, an electric
ally charged fence. and starvation
for seventy-two days. eventually
getting into Holland, thence to Lon
don, and finally home on three
months leave.
No one will question the courage of
o'Brien, but his knees be-
gan TO wabble when the train ap-
preached his home town today. There
they were at the station, all OF his
old neighbors and the Momence Silver
Cornet Band, which struck up See,
the conQuering Hero Comes" and,
best OF all, his gray-haired mother.
The lieutenant admitted he was too
scared to talk.
This evening there was a public
reception at the town garage, which
Is the largest building.

District he showed no favors, but
went after big and little alike. As a
prosecutor OF food profiteers his shad-
ow promises to loom large all the
time.
Mr.. Wilson finds that women are
not the only ones watching food
prices. The male population is on the
lob. too. He explained two methods
he has Of bringing the retailers and
consumers together in common I'M
Outstanding.
"The Erocers are being enrolled as
members of the United States Food
Administration he said, land work
ing with US are groups OF men and
women in every district Of the city
whose business will be to keep in
touch with food prices and consult
frequently about them These are un-
der the leadership of the men and
women who took charge OF the pledge
card campaign in November last.
These committees will work contin-
uously In the study of prices ana mar
ket conditions, and will materially aid
in our campaign OF education as 10
the purchasing power Of money. Their
duties will be to help check and con-
troll exorbitant prices wherever
charged"
To Take Up Meat Later.
Mr.. Wilson has not yet taken up
the prices on meat products. Beer
lamb, and pork are sold wholesale In
such a way that it Is not possible
at once to show the difference be-
tween the wholesale and retail prices.
It will be possible later to give the
low wholesale prices for meats, which
will contrast with the high retail
prices the consumer has to pay. There
is known to exist wide margin IN
low and high retail prices on meats
especially on cuts of beef, and these
matters are now under consideration.

SAYS
food PRICE
/ TABLES: WILL
HELP PUBLIC
BY BILL PRICE:

Clarence r. Wilson. Food Admins
Arator for the District, was sRnguine
today that he is on the right line in
making public food tables giving the
Bow prices at which staple foods may
PIE bought wholesale and retail. He
proposes TO develop this method, as
Information and events Justify, that
hhose who may wish to keep informed
ias to food prices may easily do so.
81 believe we are on one line that
Is very helpful to the community,
eaid Mr.. Wilson today. 81 have talked
with wholesalers, retailers, and con
sumers, and the wholesaler and con-
eumer appear to be satisfied with the
food price tables. The majority OF re-
callers do not seem to like Il"
watching Wholesalers.
Mr.. Wilson Is watching wholesale
prices pretty closely. because his author
tty over these places is broad. He Is not
only keeping track OF prices they charge
Retailers, but also the prices they pay,
30 as to determine whether there Is
11rohteering and TO know the margain
pf profit they make in the handling OF
goods.
The two principal things we had in
mind in these tables" went on Mr.. VIII
'son to The Times, were: First proven
ition of profiteering and exorbitant
PRICES second. education OF the public
as to the reasons for prices and as to
how they can obtain lower prices IL they
wish.
In other words. the dealers and the
public are being brought together in
common understanding.
81 have been in consultation with
my advisory committees on groceries,
markets and produce as well as with
wholesalers. Some Of these advisers
criticise the publication of any price
dist as causing unnecessary agitation
and discomfort on the part Of the
public, but the majority approve the
publications There is also some
criticism OF the form of the price
list on the ground that the prices
40 consumers ought to give the range
a0f the highest and lowest prices.
q THE reason we do not give these
ranges Is that the tendency would
be to increase prices to the highest
range quoted.
Few Complaints Made.
I. Tn view Of our invitation to
the public to report exorbitant prices
TO US we naturally expected many
complaints, but As q matter OF fact
we have received comparatively few.
We have had, however, many In
Quiries- Our Investigations OF COM
plants and inquiries have uncoV-
erred remarkably few cases Of sx-
Lorbitant prices, and have led US TO
sexplain that the prices complained
of are charged by stores which give
extra service in the way OF credit and
delivery. For these services the pub
1ic must, of course, expect to pay"
