Various suggestions are current in

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Prices and

OF wearing apparel are to be controlled
by the War Industries Board. Regu-
lations issued yesterday prescribing
certain fixed prices for shoes consti-
tuted only the first step in a general
policy for price control of clothing.
This was disclosed to-day by Chair
man Baruch of the board in an ad-
dress a. special meeting of the Ma
tional Retail Dry Goods Association.
Referring to the putting into effect of
the agreement between the board and
the shoe industry, Mr.. Baruch said:
"After that will have to come the
regulation and distribution of most all
OF the things which you gentlemen
have to deal with. I don't want you to
say it can't be done, because it must
be done. 1t is unthinkable that only
the man with the longest pocketbook
can get the things that he needs"
The drygoods retailers were called
upon by Chairman Daruch to take the
product of "thc manufacturer, who to
some extent has his prices regulated
and limited amounts a1locatcd to him."
with the determination to distribute it
"in some fair and equitable way, see

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct 81
Thrilled by the great events elsewhere,
the American troops to-day were keep
ing a steady pressure on the enemy,
who continues to hold his ground At
many places at terrible cost.
New York troops are fighting their
way through the Argonne Forest and
beginning to run light railways
through the dense underbrush almost
to the enemy's line. The struggle here
is worse than was ever faced by Amer
ica's earliest pioneers who, armed with
axes, hewed their way through the
dense forests of the West against the
Redskins. In the Argonne it has bee.
thick belts of man made harbed wire
and natures underbrush combined--so
thick a barrage that it is impossible
to see ten feet ahead. Everywhere
beyond, taking the place of the Red
skins, is determined enemy, with all
the modern weapons Of war.
Men who occupied stools in brokers
Offices in New York City, seasoned by
months Of open air, daily have out
witted the Germans and advanced
through this rnderbrush of wire by
ruses as clever as any pioneer who
was forced to match his wit against
American aborigines
In one place the enemy had braced
thousands of feet of common chicken
wire with steel trusses thrown over the
top. Despite heavy German fire, the
New Workers charged over the top of
this rampant. The enemy was stupefied
by the American ingenuity and was
thrown back considerable distance
until he found refuge behind another
belt of wire
