PRICE FIXING WILL
 NOT BE ATTEMPTED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-General price fixing on agricultural products is not a part of the policy of the food administration and will not be attempt ed, Food Administrator Hoover said tonight in a statement designed to re- assure farmers apprehensive that the government might set maximum prices on what they have to sell.
 There appears to be a great deal of transformation circulated amongst the agricultural communities as to the pol icy and scope of the food administra- tion with relation to price fixing" said MT. Hoover. T wish to say at once and emphatically that the food admin istration is not a price-fixing body, ex- cept with regard to certain commodi- ties which are today dominated by wholly abnormal overseas commercial | relations, and the surrounding factors with regard to which are such as to project great dangers both against the farming community and at the same time the consuming community. The two commodities under regula- tion are sugar and wheat. With the | further exception of cases in which it has iotervened purely as a friendly in- termediary between organized produc- CTS and the consumers the food admin istration has no authority and no de- sire to fix prices on the products of | agriculture"

 ARE INVESTIGATED
TRepubi can A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Further dis closures in the investigation conducted here into the activities in America of Bolo Pasha, under sentence of death in France for treason, were made pub lie today, indicating that Charles Humbert, the French senator who was arrested subsequent to Bolo Pasha's conviction in Paris had German money amounting to $17O,00O on deposit in this country.
 This money was placed with J. P. Morgan & Co. here on instructions of Bolo Pasha, who, according to the evil dence, had it transferred from his own account in the Royal Bark of Canada to Senator Humbert's account with the Morgan firm.
 The documents showing this trans action are in the possession of the French government for use in connec- ton with Senator Humbert's trial. They were obtained from the records of J. P. Morgan & Co. during the Bolo Pasha inquiry by Merton E. Lewis. attorney general of New York state. but were not made public at the time the evidence discriminating Bolo Pasha and contributing toward the Levan- tines conviction was published Their publication was authorized today by the attorney general.
 The evidence shows that Senator Humbert had to his credit in New York at various times as high as $4S9,- 000

 M.

A literal translation of up tc newly formed battalions," M. Kara khan said, may either exempt or ih- clude the new fred army"
 This is disputable," he added. '1 think, of course, that they meant ths red army also must be demobilized but on this we will not yield without dis. cussion. We think we are entitled tt an army on at least peace footing That would be sufficient to accomplish our internal purposes"

The war lasted longer than SchWerdt, Schmidt and their associates expected and the British fleet drew its block ade cordon tightly Then the scheme developed into the one of hoarding wool until after the war. it is charged.

 Mr. Becker said wool estimated to be worth S2,0O0, 900 or $3.000, 900 actual ly was stored in America. Then came wool shortage. prices went up and the German interests decided to sell because of the profits possible These profits reached Germans in Germany as the wool had been purchased to their account.

PERSH|NC PRAISES
 HELP FROM WOMEN
Republican A..P. Leased Wire1

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Feb. 25.-A cablegram just forwarded to the surgeon general at Washington mentions the great value of the garments volunteer Red Cross workers are making in the United States for the American expeditionary forces.
 The message contains General Pershing's appreciation of the work done. It recommends that the medi cal department accept an offer of 100, 900 convalescent uniforms which has been made by American women.
 General Pershing calls attention to the fact that the medical department is buying great quantities of pajamas, operating gowns, bath robes and con- yalescent suits in the open market, when the Red Cross has offered to sup ply the articles gratis. This is likely to result in duplication of the supply and an unnecessary demand for ton mage.
 General Pershing says the work done by American women is of ser vice in promoting the morale of the army and also is of value because it releases commercial labor for other purposes

TEACHING IF GERMAN
 URGED BY ALLIANCE
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Bulletins distributed among the membership of the National German American alli- ance in 1904 urging that the teaching of German in the public schools be so extended that English would come to be considered the foreign language" were read to the senate judiciary sub- committee today by Gustavus Ohlin- ger of Toledo, Ohio, continuing his testimony against the alliance as an unpatriotic alliance. Since that time, the witness said the alliance has con- ducted a consistent campaign in behalf of the teaching of German.
 The substitute committee is con- sidering a bill by Senator King of Utah, which seeks to dissolve the alli- ance.
 The bulletins referred to were printed and bound under the title, German American Nationals" "Sand were pub- lished before the alliance was char tered. Some of them, as translated by the witness, advanced the idea that Germans coming to the United States should in thought, nature and acts remain German. though taking out citizenship papers to get the vote.
