Explain. Government Shoe Price.

Explains Government Shoe Prices
 There seems to be some confusion in the mind of the public concerning the government regulation of shoemaking and shoe selling said J. L. McNair, manager of Hirsch's shoe department
 The plain truth of the matter is that after June 1 next the government will not permit the manufacturers to make any shoes to sell for over SIP. There will be three grades-ClassIA IA, to sell at sS.5O to SIP; Class B, to sell at s5.50 to $50, and Class c, to sell below $550. The gov ernment demand for fine leather and the labor of the skilled workmen requires the discontinuance of shoes manufac- tured to sell above SIP
 This regulation is not effective until next June, and does not apply to the sale of the fine shoes now in the retail stores over the country. Shoes manu- factured to sell above SIP will, of course, be retailed at price allowing a legiti- mate profit
 This regulation does not mean a wom- an will be able to buy s15 or $2O shoes for SIP; it simply means that after June l the finer grades of shoes will not be manufactured at all Twelve dollars then, as $12 now will simply buy a pair of SIP shoes"

LOYAL TO ENLIST

LONDON. June 3o.-A stirring ap-
peal to all Irishmen to enlist and
fight for the great common cause OF
honor and Christianity has been is
sued by four prominent Irish citi-

Gil.
They are A. VI. Sullivan. K. c.;

The heroic achievements OF Irish
men who have already fought for
the allies upon the field OF battle

DOWN GOES VALUE
OF FOE MONEY AS
SAMMIES ARRIVE

That the onrush of the American
army to France is not only breaking
the morale Of the Hun forces, but is
battering down the values Of Ger
man and Austrian exchange is the
official information received at the
French war mission here
The value OF 100 German marks on
the Geneva, Switzerland. market ex-
pressed in terms of French francs
has dropped thus:

While this was happening the Aus

in francs the value of 100 kroner on
the same market dropped thus:
March IS, 5S.o5; April 80. $40:

ing on this. the Journal. of Paris,
after pointing out that the de-
cline came when it became appar-
emit that the Germans would not
break through on the west front,
and was augmented by the Austrian
failure against Italy, says:
There are some who affirm that
the subjects of the central empires
are becoming nervous about their fu-
ture in the presence of the magntfi-
cent effort the United States is max
ing, and that they are hastily selling
their Austrian and German stocks.
There is nothing improbable in this
statement. II is logical enough. In
any case this depreciation in enemy
exchange which comedies with the
improvement in allied exchange Is
far from being negligible in the
present struggle"

GERMAN BIRTH RATE
SHOWS STEADY DECLINE

LONDON. June 3O.-The FIRST three
years Of war reduced by over 10000
the number of babies that would
have been born in Germany had peace
prevailed, says a report of the British
local government board. Some 10
per cent fewer German babies were
born in 1916 than in 1913.
The infant death rate, which rose
to an abnormal height for a time
after the outbreak of war. appears to
have gradually returned to the pre-
war rate. The food difficulties have
not led to an excessive number Of
babies dying, at least up till the end
of 1916. In the towns where the food
shortage was most acute the death
rate tended TO fall.

BOXING PLATFORM
At SOUTHER FIELD
NOW BEING USED
SOME FAST SPORT BEING STAG.
ED AT THE CAMP AND MEN
THERE ARE DEVELOPING INTO
GREAT ATHLETES.

Boxing is one sport that every
where appeals to the soldier. At ev-
cry performance there are eager
spectators cheering their favorites
and JUS ti@hloC to death when the
mixing is fast and furious. For the
past month at Souther Field the
bouts have all been staged inside on
the platform OF the Y hut Several
of the men from the different squad
rons are showing good form. Among
them are Hogan, a middle weight
from the Fifth; Dolphin, from 501st;
"Ded" Hinson, from 615th; Chas.
Koosuth and Tom Harris, from 116th
On Wednesday night, last, five bouts
were staged on the new boxing plat
form Just outside of the "Y." And,
though inadequately, lighted with
just two temporary lights, and no COW
ering for the very rough platform, it
was a vast improvement over the in
side stage, which was all too stuffy
for the enjoyment of this very siren
uous spot.
At present, not many of the men
can go over three rounds, not having
had Sufficient practice.
Hogan and Hinson went five good
rounds; Dolphin and Kennedy three
rounds; Koosuth and Harris, two;
Murray and Michael, two; Irishmen,
went 2, and Red" Lantz and Red"
Mann (not Rhode Island Reds, for
they live in Colorado and Minnesota
went two.
The fellows are quite enthusiastic
over the outside performance as 1t
is So much better on the boxers.
Mr.. Allender acted as referee for
these bouts and executed some clever
stunts in avoiding the rushes of fight
ers. H. S. Lipscomb, camp physical
director of the Y. M. c. A, served as
time keeper.
The rounds were three minutes long
with one minute intermission.
