only the first step in a general policy
for price control of clothing.
This was disclosed by Bernard VI.
Baruch, chairman of the board t. N
address al special meeting a" ne
National Retail Dry Goods as>oci-
alton.
Referring to the putting Etn effect
of the agreement between the board
and the shoe industry. Mr. Baruch
said:
"After that will have 10 come The

of the things which you gentlemen
have to deal with. | don't wunt YOU
to say it can't be done, becau>" it
must be done 1t is unthinkable that
only the man with the longest pocket
hook can get the things that he
needs"
The dry goods retailers were called
upon by Mr.. Baruch to take the pro-
duct of "the manufacturer, who to
some extent has his prices regulated
and limited amounts allocated to him"
with the determination to distribute
it "in some fair and equitable way.
seeing that as far as possible each
individual gets his share and gets it
at price that is fair"
Though no details of the plan 70 he
followed in controlling clothing prices
have been announced by the board, it
is believed that the general policy
adopted in fixing prices of shoes will
be followed. Standard prices for
standard grades of mems and women's
suits, hats and other articles of cloth
ing probably will be established by
agreement with manufacturers and re-
lalerS.

Man, Man! What Thrill When Your Caddy Says

A Shadow Retrospection from the Shawnee Golf
Links as the Sun Drops Behind Burnett's Mound.

Spotting slices and hooks, peering
at bounces. squirting at rolls and saun-

listening to jurists, lawyers, doctors,
merchants and office men as they
puff over long drives, complain over
bad lies and rave over tops and
grounders; blamed for poor puts,
grouzed for lost balls, scolded for de-
layed club deliveries.
This is the life of the freckle faced,
laughing eyed, barefooted golf caddy.
The season is drawing to a close

to meet train No. IL from the west.
Upon reaching the train, he was led to
day coach, where two children lay
sick upon the seat cushions, with their
father bending over them. Both
children were i'll with pneumonia, and
the younger, a baby of ten months,
was in a serious condition. The doc

taking her body home to Georgia for

MUST BE REFORM
United States Will Accept No
Half-Hearted Acts.
Germany Must Give Real Po-
IiticaI Freedom.

washington, Oct. 19.-The United
States government will accept no half
hearted measures of political reform
in Germany and Austria as basis Tor
peace.
The smoke barrage now Being laid
down by the German propagandists is
fooling no one but the Germans them
selves, American authorities are PEN
etrating the purposes and developments
behind this screen. And thus far. they
have found that the reported reforms
do not meet the acid test. They are
regarded mainly as being the basis for
a further reply from Germany in the
peace situation. 1t is held she will Mt
tempt to show that she has reformed
and that the kaiser is no longer the
all-powerful with the divine right"
However, President Wilson's last
communication was a decision" con-
tanning the minimum that Germany
must meet if she wants peace.
And President Wilson will stand as
Judge of the degree Of Teuton SINGER
ity and actual reform.
Officials are at a loss to know eX-
actly whether Germany's reply is COM
ing directly, or whether it Will be de-
layed while peace atmosphere is fur
Their created.
They do anticipate that there will
be further discussion from Germany.
Germany is regarded as anxious to get
peace but there is doubt here now as
to whether the Teuton war lords have
yet seen the handwriting on the wall.
or whether the German people fully
appreciate that President Wilson has
set for them the only way out-a path
unblotted by Hohenzollernism. Neu-
trail diplomats here believe Germany
went the limit" in the concessions in
her last note and will now fight on.

KANSAS IN RECORD
Saved More Wheat in Field Than
ANY Other State.

Wichita, Kan. Oct. 19.-Kansas
made the greatest record or all In
saving wheat in the field, Capt. Ken
meth Hequembourg, chief of the grain
threshing division of the food admin
istration, told Federal Food Admins
traitor 1nnes today.
Reports from thirteen wheat states
show that 16.275,625 bushels of wheat
were saved thru the activities of the
grain threshing division and cooper
alton of threshermen and farmers.
The Kansas report heads the list with
a saving of 100000 bushels. This
was effected thru cutting of back
swaths during harvest, by the use of
tight bundle racks. by raking of shock
windrows and by care exercised on the
part of threshermen.
/ The greatest saving was IN the rak-
ing of shock rows. Some reports
showed a saving of as much as BUSH
ell and a half to the acre, but most of
the saving from that source was about
one bushel to the acre.
Kansas threshermen are to be con-
graduated for their loyal co-opera-
tion," said Captain Hequembourg. ut

threshermen did not do their best. The

Cambria. Oct. 1S.-Tanks manned by
Americans trained in England led the
assault against the German forces en-
trenched on the eastern side of the
Selle river. They were faced by Ger

hard fight. According to latest report
the allies are still gaining ground

enemy. At one point the Germans de-
livered a counter attack and momen-
tarily gained ground. but the tanks
passed over and beyond the high
ground where the Germans were max

enemy out of his trenches
American engineers working under
heavy machine gun fire placed bridges
across the river and then the American

tanks helped to keep down the enemy
fire until the engineers had finished

TRAVEL BY WATER
Sub Chasers Are Completed on
the Great Lakes.
Then Go to Their Work Under
Own Steam.

Great Lakes, ILL.,. Oct. 19.-The
manner in which submarine chasers
built on the Great Lakes are taken to
the ocean was disclosed by Lieuten-
ant Commander Ogden T. MeClutg.
chief of staff for the Ninth, Tenth and
Eleventh naval districts, according to
the Great Lakes Bulletin.
The Bulletin, official paper of the
Great Lakes naval training station,
says that even before sub chasers were
being turned out in large quantities
navy officers had calculated on the OBJ
vious disadvantages of sending parts
to congested eastern ports to be as
sembled there.
The result" says the Bulletin, sis
that the chasers are finished COM
pletely on the Great Lakes and taken
to New York, a distance of not less
than 1900 miles by water, for imme-
date delivery.
Two successful inland voyages OF
this kind have been made recently,
according to Lieutenant Commander
McCIurg, the later of which was I'M
der command of Lieut.. H. A. Par
sons. This squadron consisted of six
submarine chasers of the standard
length of 10 feet.
ION previous voyage, flve chas-
ers OF this type were navigated sue
cessfully by officers and men attached
10 the 1enIn anu 6LcfeuLil
naval districts, most of whom have
seen service at this station. On board
each vessel are an officer and crew
of twenty men. Each vessel, as soon
8 it is completed. is given captain
and crew and sent to a central point
previously assigned, there to await the
arrival of other members of the
squadron. When the fleet has been
assembled. the voyage thru the Great
Lakes begins and continues via the
Welland canal as far as Oswego on
Lake Ontario Here the vessels swing
into New York state canal and pro-
coed to Troy. thence down the Hud-
son river to New York.
when the vessels are delivered at
the Third naval district they cease to
be the United States men-o'-war and
become property of the French gov
eminent. unless they are taken across
the ocean byt officers and men of the
. United States navy, in which event
they do not technically become war
ships of France until actually turned
over to the command of French ON
GERS in French ports.
Similar opportunity for actual ex-
perience at navigation on the Great
Lakes probably will be given other
crews of the Ninth, Tenth and Elev-
enth naval districts IN the way of TAX
ing steam tugs, barges, and other sim
liar vessels to New York or other At
lantic ports"

TRIED TO SAVE IT
Desperate Efforts Put Forward
on Hindenburg Line.
Had Been Called Worlds
Strongest Fortress.

With the American Forces in
France, Oct. 1s.-Desperate efforts
were made by the Germans to
strengthen the Hindenburg line when
they were driven back to it by Mar
shall Foch's great offensive this sum-
mer. More than nine miles in depth
at various points, it had already been
called the greatest fortress the world
has ever known" Despite this. in
formation has reached the American
intelligence officers from various
sources that the Germans began to
work upon 1t with renewed vigor soon
after the Franco-American counter Of
fensive of July 1S which drove them
back over the Marine, east OF Chateau
Thierry and northwest across the
Vesle.
One section Of the Hindenburg line
examined by British experts had a belt
of wire eight yards deep, the wire
being the size of a lead pencil and
with barbs of an inch. About one
hundred yards to the rear was the
first German trench and behind the
trench 100 yards apart were ferro-
concrete positions built to hold from
two to five machine guns. Behind
these "pillboxes' were other machine
gun emplacements.
Behind the first line were belts OF
wire arranged in a criss-cross geo.
interval varying from several hundred
yards to half a mile. was the second
! trench. With the object of preventing
tanks from crossing 1t, the second
trench was dug wide enough to &C,
as trap when the big crawlers came
along.
To the rear of the second trench
line was another belt of wire and after
that the main or support line. The
part of the line examined by the Brit
ish officers had been dug by Russian
prisoners and had running beneath il
| a continuous tunnel at a depth OF
about forty feet. Along this main OIL
support line staircases led up from the
| tunnel every fifty yards. The TUNE
had rooms opening out of it and was
lighted by electricity. Above were g
number of machine gun posts and
trench mortar emplacements which
are connected by hoists so that am.
munition may be sent up quickly from
