 led Committee
IS
 WASTEFUL, HE SAYS
Charges That Price Fixing Is Tn In- terast of Gamers and Packers, and Offers Telegram From West in
 Support 0i Accusation.

Washington, March Tg-Senator Reed of Missouri, Democrat, renewed his attack on Food Administrator Hoover in the senate today. delivering a three-hour speech in which he charg ed that never in the country's history has there been such wastefulness in the expenditure of money as that of the food administration. He demand ed that a complete accounting be made before another dollar is appropriated for it's use
 The speech was made in connection with an amendment introduced by the Missouri senator and later rejected, providing for the elimination from the urgent deficiency bill an appropriation of $1. 750 900 for the food and fuel ad- ministrations. Attacking what he re-. termed the price-fiXing policy of the food administration, Senator Reed said MT. Hoover solemnly assured the members of the agricultural commit tee, when it was considering the food control bill, that price-fXing under its provisions would be impossible. As soon as the bill was passed, he declar- ed, Mir. Hoover surrounded by his ''board of trade sharps' picked out an obscure phrase authorizing voluntary agreement and proceeded to conceive a plan to fix prices.'
 The business methods of the admin istration were also criticised by Sen ator Reed. who said he wanted to know what had become of the $12.- 100000 received as income from the grain corporation and from other sources Since the administration was established August 10. last, he added. $5515.O00 has been approp iat- ed, of which the reports shows, $1,- 9S5 .429 has been expended.

 The American troops holding a portion of the line of battle north west of Toul apparently are making raids into enemy territory a part of their daily routine. Following their incursion of Monday morning, when, after a bOmbardment, they raided German front line trenches for 300 yards, unaided as had been customary by the French. they set out again on Tuesday and made successful surprise attack on trench es south of Richecourt.
 Along the western front intensive dnels and raiding operations are continuing on isolated sectors. The Australians again nave carried out successful raids into German trencn- es northeast of Messines, killing a number of Germans and making German prisoners of others.
 In Lorraine the French near Mon eel put down effectively strong German attempt at foray, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy and also taking prisoners.
 In addition to a continuation of the artillery duels along the Italian front, there is considerable aerial activity daily. In fight, in the aii Monday the Italians brought down five hos tile machines.

KICKS CONTINUE ON CENSORSHIP
 0f CASUALTIES
President Considers and Pershing Asked to Give
 Reasons for Change.

Washington, March 12.-Protests against the war departments new policy of issuing casualty lists with out addresses continued to reach mem bers of congress and the subject was debated today in the house. Presi- dent Wilson is understood to be giv- ing personal consideration to the reas- sons for the change, and it is known that the department has asked Gen eral Pershing, who suggested it at the instance of the French, to forward a full statement of the military consid erations involved, so that they may be laid before the American public.
 Members of the cabinet said after today's meeting that the matter was not discussed there.
 In connection with the plan, now being considered, of issuing lists twice a month Or once week instead of daily. it has been suggested that un- der this scheme there might be no objection to giving addresses and names of relatives of the men. One of the chief objections to the old plan was the announcement of the date on which the men were killed or wound ed, thus giving the enemy exact in- formation as to the result of certain engagements.
 Representative Garrett of Tennes- see said the newspapers had failed to imnress upon the people the fact that the department promptly notifies the relatives of each man whose name ap- pears on the list. Representative Glass of Virginia and Humphreys of Mississippi, Democrats, defended the action of the department saying the decision has been reached by men who know more about the questions than the members of congress.

TO the lessons learned from the visiting
speakers.
At the Evangeline theatre cx senator
Murphy j. Foster Of Franklin made an
address which was an inspiration to ev-
cry listener. He presented several in
eentives for immediate action on the
Part Of the nation and community, as
individuals.
In a portion of ms address he pre-
sented the Thought that new senti-
ment was now universal throughout the
country. A sentiment which was iden-
teal in every village and city in the
land This had been created because
of the existance of an institution equ-
ally interested in and owned by all
the Army. It now consisted Of por-
tions of our dearest possessions-our
sons, husbands and fathers. It is on
Iy natural and human then that we
should desire, or even insist that this
Army be properly protected and its
every need supplied. If this is not
done, misfortune and grief are sure
to follow to practically every home in
the land. We can staye of at at least
to a great extent, such a possibility, by
seeing to it that this great body Of our
men are protected by being supplied
with all necessary needs. We, those
who are not in this collection Of active
fighters, can only support and see to it
that these men are amply supplied, by
giving our money. The government
plan and the best and only plan avail
able to us, is the purchase of War Saw
ngs Stamps. This plan if successful
will provide the proper care and pro-
lection We want the men of our famil-
les 70 receive. This thought from
Senator Fosters address brings to us
not only our responsibility in this war
but very personal reason why we
should gladly desire to perform our du-
tv 70 those who are now an absent por-
ton of our family circle. The War
Savings Stamp plan is easy Of success
ful consummation if only each of us
10 our bit according to our means. The
gist or golden text of Senator Foster s
message was embodied in his War Saw
ngs Stamp slogan "Protect Those Who
Protect YOU
Andrew Lafaigue an attorney and
orator of New Orleans gave an address

PARISH PRIEST
USED AS SHIELD
Brand WhitIock Tells of CoWardly
Act of Commander of Ger
man Detachment.
HUGH GIBSON ADDS EVIDENCE
Tells Of Priests Compelled to Walk Be-
fore "Huns" to Form Screen
Cardinal Mercier's Statement
as to Taking of Hostages.

That the Germans IN Belgium
made use of women, children, and
priests as screens to protect the in
vaders from Belgian troops is show"
By the following testimony gathered
bv the committee ON public tnfor-
nation:
Minister Whitlock, in his report OF
September II, 1917, to the secretary OF
states, gives an instance OF the Ger
man practice Of seeking protection.
"The Germans attacked Hougaerde
on the 18th August; the Belgian troops
were holding the Gette bridge in the
village. The Germans forced the par
ish priest OF Autgaerden to walk in
front of them as q shield. AS they
neared the barricade the Belgian sol
diers fired and the priest was killed.
After the retreat of the Belglans the
Germans shot four men, burned %
houses, and looted 1O0.'
Hugh Gibson. in "a Journal From
Our Legation in Belgium page 100,
gives another incident:
1.-TWO old priests have staggered in
to the - legation more dead than
alive after having been compelled to
walk ahead of the German troops for
miles as a sort Of protecting screen.
One Of them is i'll, and it is said that
he may die as q result of what he has
gone through"
Statement Of Cardinal Mercier.
AT the time of the invasion Bel
gian civilians, in 20 places, were made
to take part in operations OF war
against their own country. At Ter
monde, Lebbeke, Dinant and elsewhere
in many places. peaceable citizens,
women and children were forced to
march in front of German regiments
or to make q screen before them.
''The system of hostages was carried
out with q fierce cruelty. The procla-
nation Of August 4th. quoted above
declared, without circumlocudoo !:
Hostages will be freely taken
IAN official proclamation, posted ut
Liege. in the early days Of August, ran
thus: Every aggression committed
against the German troops by any per
sons other than soldiers In Uniform
not only exposes the guilty person to
be Immediately shot. but will also en-
tail the severest reprisals' against all
the inhabitants, and especially against
those natives Of Liege who have been
detained - hostages in the citadel OF
Lege by the commandant Of the Ger
man troops.'
'sThese hostages are Monsignor Rut-
ten, bishop Of Lege; N. Kleyer. burgo-
master Of Liege: the senators. repre-
sentatives, and the permanent deputy
and sheriff Of Liege."
The above quotation Is taken from
IAN Appeal to Truth" addressed No
vember "a, 1915. by Cardinal MERCER
and the other bishops Of Belgium to
the cardinals, archbishops. and bishops
Of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
"Some ten or q dozen American cor
respondents, Of whom I was one, wit
messed the first German drive through
Belgium. Most Of rs were so appalled,
and Mortified by what we saw as to BE-
come anti German for nfe." VIII 1r-
