new DIVISIONS
BROUGHT UP BY FOE

To stiffen their resistance against
the drive of the Americans, the
enemy has been forced to bring up
and throw into the battle divisions
from other parts OF the front, Gen
eraI Pershing reported to the War
Department today in his communique
for September 20. -
sour troops have continued to
meet with determined resistance on
the part OF the enemy. who have
been forced hastily to bring up and
engage divisions from other parts of
the 'front.'" the communique states.

dealers have been getting for months
at prices averaging around 26 cents
a gallon. For this max they have
received the same retail prices as
the dealers who bought only from
licensed farms. The District health
authorities are after these men. There
are prosecutions against them in tho
local courts, awaiting the verdict OF
juries. These chaps have been max
ing fortunes on milk, some OF which
is not fit for hogs. Nobody knows
just what percentage of the total
used in Washington is from I'M
licensed. unsanitary farms. 1t is be-
lieved to be large. The temptation
of big profits outweighs fear OF pos
sible fine or imprisonment. especial
ly where the hand OF justice is held
back for months by appeals to high
er courts. all OF which are clogged
with years of work ahead.

Mr.. Wilson's Position.
Asked today why he does not re-
fuse to allow the latest jump and
put il up to the milk dealers to dem
onstrate whether they will really
lose money at the prices they have
been charging-15 and 16 cents a
Quart-Mr. Wilson frankly stated
that his inclination would be to dc
this as a protection to the public. As
against this action, however, he had
before him the claims of reputable
milk dealers that they would suffer
serious financial loss il they were
compelled to maintain present retail
prices in the face OF increased prices
to them from producers In addition
is the claim that milk dealers can
neither obtain a sufficient amount of
milk from licensed farms nor SUM-
Client help to prepare it for distribu-
tion, and that many of them would
go out of business IL forced to con-
tinue at . loss"
Mr.. Wilson wants to insure a suffi-
cient supply of milk for the increas-
ing population OF Washington. He
does not want to do anything that
will force men TO quit the business,

thereby reducing the supply, he said
today.
At the same time he will not stand
for the increased prices IL they are
not justified. He proposed to push
as rapidly as possible Investigations
by experts as to the cost Of distribu.
ton to the dealers and the profits they
are making. He felt today, he said.
that the public would not suffer a big
loss for q short time longer until he
is able to determine definitely whether
the dealers are right or wrong.
Talks of Situation.
Mr.. Wilson made to The Times to-
day q statement on the milk situa-
tion. He refers to the claim OF milk
producers that they are compelled to
increase charges by reason Of large
additional expenditures for feed and
help; to the claims of dealers as to
cost OF labor, materials, and freight,
and to the immensely increased con-
sumption of milk in Baltimore and
Washington.
Nevertheless" he says, 81 am not
satisfied OF the necessity for the lat
est increase. Most dealers have great
ly increased their volume of business,
which may more than ubsnrb Shcir In
creased costs, and many have GiscUn-
tinued milk routes ana otherwise cur
tailed expenses. which may counter
balance higher labor and material
costs.

accountant, At the request of this Of
flce, made q preliminary examination
but he has not been able to complete

prices until q complete examin stioT.
could be made of their books to deter
mine finally the fair cost of milk dis
tribution in Washington. They re-
piled that as the producers higher
price OF 40 cents per gallon goes into
effect on October ]. they must make
their prices effective on the same date
or else do business at a large daily
loss thereafter.
Our investigation. already begun, will
be prosecuted to completion as speedily
as possible. The object will be the de-
termination OF the cost OF milk distri-
button in the District, the fair profit to
the dealer, and consequently the fair
price to the consumer.

CHURCH PROSPERS
Methodists Unanimously Ask For
Return of Pastor After a Year
of Patriotism and Good
Work

F-ARMINGTON, Ia, Aug. 2a.-The
Methodist church here is closing one
of the best years In it's entire his
tory. The pastor Is Rev. H. W. Mum
ster. During the year. the church
has led in the movement of church
cooperation, and the feeling between
the various churches OF this over
churched town was never better.
The Epworth league was great
aid to the church and in June sent
the largest and one OF the most rep
resentatfve delega tons of the Bur-
Iingtou district to the convention at
Fairfield
The church also led In manifesto
tons OF patriotism. There were sew
eraI big patriotic rallies, at which
the chief speakers from out OF town
were the Rev. DR.. Day, OF Ottumwa,
and the Rev. DR.. Shock, of Mount
Pleasant. One of the most beautiful
and impressive services was that at
which the duplicate service flag was
unfurled and large number of
mothers came forward to pin the
stars on one of the flags. The pas
tor spoke on the text, If we suffer
with Him, we shall also reign with
Him"
During the year nearly one-half Of
large and troublesome church debt
was paid off, the full apportionment
to Methodist war work was met, and
contributions to benevolences and
payment on the pastors salary are
the best for several years. The Of
fetal board has unanimously asked
for the return Of their pastor for
another year.
