: Increased Rates Under Fire.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Increased
freight rates and express rates today

they were inaugurated on June rs. The
public service commission of Washing
ton, Oregon and Idaho filed complaints
against the railway administration

Thousands of fruit and vegetable

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR DEEMS
MAKES PLAN TO PREVENT Ex-
cEsSlVE PROFITS FROM
CONSUMERS.

Nearly one-half Of the counties Of
Iowa have organized price interpreting
committees under the direction Of Unit
ed States Food Administrator ]. F.
Deems
Price interpreting committees are
authorized by the food administration
to be composed Of representatives of
consumers, retailers, jobbers, brokers
and other classes engaged In the food
business.
The food administration does not fi1
prices Of commodities but 1t has an
nounced what 1t regards as fair profits
on articles OF food. The price inter
preting committee in each county APP
plies these profits to the cost Of the
goods to wholesalers and to retailers,
and in this way interprets q fair price
for the retailer from the wholesaler
and for the consumer from the retailer.
An essential part of the program is
to have these prices published by the
newspapers, so that consumers may be
advised as to what the food admins
tration regards as fair prices.
This very effectively checks prof.
teering and at the same time does away
with much of the complaints which
consumers are inclined to make against
retailers.
1t Is an open and above board way Of
interpreting prices for the community
and absolutely prevents speculation in
food products. One Of the rules gov
erning price interpreting is that in
voice prices shall govern In applying
prices and not the real present mar
ket price Of the goods. Thus whole
saler or retailer is prevented from
increasing his prices above fair profit
on the cost Of the goods, no matter
what the value Of the goods may be at
the time the price IL made.

Allied Advance Slowing Down.
| TBy J. w. T. Mason, United Press war
Expert
| NEW YORK, Aug. 13-The allies
advance is slowing down in conform
ity with Marshal Foch's settled policy
of not wasting the lives of his troops
when time is working so powerfully
on the side OF the allied cause.
In substitution for direct assaults
with their heavy casualties to the at
lacking troops, Marshal Foch is again
revertine to his squeeze-plays. Pres
sure at strategical points is now the
dominant feature in plans now being
formed at Foch's headquarters. The
G ermans must eventually fall back to
the old Hindenburg line and beyond
the Chemin- Des-Dames, as well, and
Marshal Foch is showing that no WILL
not force this retirement within any
given number of days.
Neither the Marine attack nor the
present drive in Picardy constitutes a
true major offensive. Marshal Foch
issued a firm veto in each series or
operations against any extension OF
the assaults beyond strictly limited
detectives. The enemy was caught In
traps on both occasions and outguess-
ed and out generated.
During the Marne engagements as
well as now, Marshal Foch has reveal
ed that it is useless for Won linden
burg to seek to entrap the allies. AT
the point where Won Hindenburg sets
out to "lure the allies on" Marshal
Foch Immediately brings his com
mands to a standstill This display
Of caution and OF regard for the l1Ves
Of his men is in full conformity with
Marshal Foch's ultimate strategy.
Neither Picardy nor the Chem1n
Des-Dames, nor even the Belgian Dor
der. contains the allies main objec-
tive. That objective is the river Rhine
and bevond. It would be short sight
ed policy for Marshal Foch to use up
his man power driving Won linden
burg back to Belgium by direct as
saults through French territory, IN
preference to using this same man
power for an invasion Of Germany
Once the allies, led by Americas mil
Hons. are well into Germany, the rest
will follow.
But. In the meantime, whenever Won
Hindenburg commits gross errors OF
strategy. Marshal Foch's purpose is
to take full advantage of these mis-
takes. Thus, the allies casualties
will be kept down for the great drive
TO the Rhine, but meanwhile, German
morale will be subjected to steady de-
terioration.
