SHOES NO LOWER

So many conflicting newspaper reports have been
circulated regarding the low price of shoes under gov
ement regulations that we find it necessary to inform
our patrons of the real conditions.
The present regulations have been established
primarily to bring the selling price of all shoes, OxfordS
and slippers within the reach of the greater number OF
people, and prevent unfair dealers from making unjust
profits.
The dealer is pledged
First-To carry and sell to the public at all times
during the war only such footwear of standard char
aCer as will suit the needs and demands OF the people
Second-Such shoes to be sold at prices that will
prove economical and safeguard them against exrava
gances during the period of the war.
Thrd-Prices shall be based upon cost plus trans
portation charges plus normal percentage OF profit
Fourth-These prices will tall into three general
classes and include shoes for all purposes.
Class A-Men's and WomenS Boots to sell be- !
tween So 90 and $780, Oxfords not over $llO0
Class B-Nen's and Women's Boots 10 sell be-
tween $500 and $3.50
Glass C-Mens and WomenS Boots to sell be-
tween $500 and $3.50
Boys, Misses and Chldren's shoes are proper
toned to the prices of Mems and WomenS boots, which
are given as basis to show limitations for retailers.
All such reports concerning price fixing and the
stamping of the cost and selling price on the bottom OF
Shoes are incorrect All other regulations outside OF
those given become effective either with the tanner or
manufacturer and do not apply to the retailer PRICES
WILL NOT BE LOWER but they cannot 90 beyond
certain limits as shown above and the public is protect
ed from the INSCRIPTIONS profiteers.
The different changes in force or those to be
expected in the future will have no effect our prices
or method of doing business. We have more than met
the requirements of the War Industries Board The
method of group buying has been used in this store Tor
number of years. and in figuring our prices they have
been based on manufacturing cost mot wholesalers
or brokers COST plus transportation charges, plus
percentage of profit that decreases as the volume OF
sales increase. This puts shoes in the consumers
hands at the lowest possible price consistent with good
values.
We intend to follow this same course in the future
and wish to assure our patrons that long as good
shoes are to be had they will be found sale here at
the closest marketing price possible at the season.

Marines to Salute
All Their Wounded

Especial Correspondence Of The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Marines
wounded in France hereafter will re-
ceive salute of tribute from their
comrades, whether entitled to it by
regulations or not, Major General
George Barnett, commandant of the
Marine Corps, announced to-day.
The custom Of saluting the wounded
enlisted men originated with the ma
rnes themselves. Three marines out
walking met a private who was hob
bling along on crutches, having lost a
leg in service in France. The three
stopped and saiutcd, paving an in
stinctive tribute to the wounded vet
eran. This was the beginning of Il
custom that is growing SO rapidly that
it was brought to the attention Of Cen
eral Barnett, who said:
at is beautiful tribute to the
spirit which prompted the wounded
mans sacrifice, and | readily give my
approval While no official order will
be issued on the subject, shall be glad
to see members of the Marine Corps
thus show respect to their wounded
comrades"
The wounded man will not be ex-
pected TO return the salute, n nod of
the head, u smile or the mere recogni-
tion Of the fact that he is being saluted
being sffcicnt acknowledgment.

Atrocity Story Denied
Prof. Masaryk Calls Reports
of Massacre by Red Guards
German Propaganda
Special Dypotch to The Triburs

i
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Regarding
the Moscow dispatch to the Hamburg
"Nachrichten" stating that the Rus
sian Red Guards publicly hanged 500
CzechoSlovak prisoners after the capt
ure of Simbirsk as reprisal for
"atrocltles' committed in the town
during its occupation BY the Czechs,
the Czecho-Slovak National Council,
whose president, Professor Masaryk, is
now in Washington, issues the follow
ing statement:
The news of the hanging of 800
Czecho-Slovak prisoners in Simbirsk is
hardly credible. We are certain that
1t could not have been 800 of our sol
dlers captured by the Red Guards.
Czecho-Slovaks never surrender, even
II wounded. They'd rather end their
lives than let themselves fall into the
hands Of the enemy.
There can be no doubt as to the in
tentlons of The dispatch. It was cal
culated, in the first place, to intimi-
uace our people at home, who were
greatly heartened and strengthened in
their resistance against Austria Hun
gary by the successes of their COM
patriots in Russia and by the help ex
tended them by the Allies. AS to the
'aurocltles,' we can state unequivocallv
that never have there been any atroci
ties committed in Russia by our army"
-, 1t was announced that the Czecho-
Slovak soldiers in Russia always keen
one hand grenade in reserve to explode
under their feet if surrounded and in
imminent danger of capture. In this
way many of their would-be cantors
have ,perished with them. 1t was de-
clared to be one of the unwritten rules
OF the CzechoSlovak soldiers in Russia
TO die rather than be captured, show
ing their utter contempt for death and
illustrating their unsurpassed bravery.

Cole, an American sergeant, whose
home was at 40 Prospect Street, East
Liverpool, Ohio. The story was made
public yesterday by the Salvation
Army in the words of Dr.. Howard.
Cole Is Left Stranded
Less than six weeks ago A. B. Cole,
a husky young American sergeant,
whose observations had convinced him
that the tidy little French rivers were
not patch on the old Ohio, and that
quite probably the fighting was in pro-
portion to the rivers, moved up to the
front line with his regiment. That
was on July Is. On July 81 the Amer
leans in that sector began a series of
determined assaults, before which the
Germans slowly gave way.
The Americans slowly forged ahead
but Sergeant A. B Cole learned that in
France rives gauges were not appli-
cable to measure fighting. His conf
dence and enthusiasm somehow car
ricd him far beyond his platoon and
left him stranded.
Later on that July II his own com

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. 25.-"In the name of
the American army in France, as we'll
as in my own, l thank you for your
kind and stimulating message" said
General John J. Pershing. the Ameri-
can commander in chief, in replying
to-day to a message from the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in
America.
at is the consciousness that the SOL
der has behind him an undivided ma
ton" General Pershing continued,
(which enables him, whatever his rank,
to face his task with courage. We
Americans have the added inspiration
and encouragement that flow from the
example OF friendship of our allies,
VINO for years have been fighting our
battles in fighting their own.
Standing by their side, we expect
not only to vindicate the common
cause of justice, honor and righteous
ness, but also to lay solid founda-
ton tor worlds peace.
Faces Toward Coal
1--WE dare not claim that as an army
we have yet achieved that high stand
ard Of manhood and conduct on which
the largest human effectiveness should
be built, but the idea of the nation and
the churches is still constantly before
u.s. With sincerity and firm purpose
We have set our faces toward the goal.
after all, it is a common fight
yours there, and ours here. What is
necessary for the manhood of the SOL
der is necessary for the manhood Of
citizens. The powerful resources OF the
nation which have been placed ungrudg
ingly at the disposition OF the army
are indispensable for the accomplish
ment of our duty. But we know that
mere wealth and material resources,
and even technical skill, will not suffice.
The invisible, unconquerable force
let loose by the prayers, hopes and
ideals of Christian America, of which
you are the representative, is incalcu-
liable. 1t furnishes the soul and the mo-
tive for the military body and its CO.
operation, it steadies US to resist man
fully the temptations which assail US
in the extraordinary conditions in
which we find ourselves.
Grateful to Churches
Your message of loyalty to US draws
this reciprocal message Of loyalty to
you. We Of the army think with graft
tude and emotion of the unhagging
service and wonderful trust in US of
the churches at home. May we prove
ourselves worthy of it.
The message TO which General PERISH
ing refers was signed by the Rev
James l. Vance, Albert G. Lawson and
others. 1t assured General Pershing
and the American army that the
churches were materially and morally
with them until a full victory was
attained.
