FIXED PRICES FOR ALL CLOTHING BY INDUSTRIES BOARD Us Next Step in General Pol icy of Government For
 Price Control.
DISTRIBUTION WILL
 ALSO BE ARRANGED
Chairman Baruch Breaks Sad News to Meeting of
 Dry Goods Men.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Prices and distribution of practically all articles o1 wearing apparel are to be controll- ed by the war industries board.
 Regulations issued yesterday pres. crlbing certain fixed prices for shoes constituted only the first step in a general policy for price control of clothing.
 That was disclosed today by Chair man Baruch, of the Board, in an ad- dress at special meeting of the Ma tlonal Retail Dry Goods Association. Referring to the putting into effect of the agreement between the board and the shoe industry, Mr. Barucb said:
 After that will have to come the regulation and distribution of most all of the things which you gentlemen have to deal with.
 It Must Be Done.
 Il don't want you to say it can't be done, because it must be done.
 Tt is unthinkable that only the man with the longest pocket book can get the things that he needs"
 The retailers were called upon by Chairman Baruch to take the product of "the manufacturer, who, to some extent, has his prices regulated and limited amounts allocated to him."
 'aWith the determination to distri- bute it'' in some fair and equitable way, seeinp that as far as possible, each individual gets his share and gets it at price that is fair"
 "When it comes to the question of a fair price," Mr. Baruch continued, "this is very difficult to answer.
 Normal Prices Pair.
 'I should say roughly that a fair price is price something like the norml profits in normal times.
 "1 know you will all say that these are abnormal times.
 "They are, and, we have got to do abnormal and new things"
 To meet the request that represen- tatives be named to confer with the war industries board in matters of distribution and price control the association appointed war service committee.
 Though no details of the plan to be followed in controlling clothing prices has been announced by the board, it is believed that the general policy adopted in fixing the prices of shoes will be followed.
 Standard Prices.
 Standard prices for standard grades of mems and women's suits. hats and other articles of clothing probably will be established by agreement with manufacturers and retailers.
 By the agreement reached by the board and the shoe industry addition al details of which were made public today, the program and styles and shoes under the regulated price plan will conform to that announced by the board in July whereby both styles and colors were restricted. A number of manufacturers already have started work on the standardized grades.
 To prevent loss to manufacturers of high priced shoes, the agreement provides that shoes retailing for more than SIP, the maximum, fixed price, which already have been 'manufactur- ed may be sold until June 1919, after that date it will be impossible to buy ready made shoes for more than SIP.
 For low shoes of the type usually worn in the summer months the maximum price will be $11.

Tale Is The Same.

! Of the accompanying of invaded Belgium, and the progress of the French and Franco-American forces respectively, north of Rheims and eastward in Champagne to the vicin- itv of Verdun, the tale remains the , same-the Germans slowly, but sure ly are being forced everywhere to give ground and their vital defenses daily continue to be eaten into, not withstanding the strong resistance that the enemy is imposing to make null the efforts of the allies to close in on all sides of the great battle arc from the North sea to the Swiss border and compel the German high command to reconstruct it's fighting line.
 Going to The East.
 In Belgian Flanders the Belgian, French and British troops are keep ing up their eastward progress in their endeavors to compel the Ger mans to give up Ostend and Zeebrug- ge, their naval bases on the North Sea. Roulers, the important railway junction, with it's lines of steel rad iating to the North Sea and eastward to Ghent, has been entered by the Belgians, and at Hooglede, to the north, King Albert's men are vir- tually upon the Roulers- Ostend- Brug- es railway
 Towns Are Menaled.

Handicapped at the start Of war by
a limited personnel and material. the

Naval Affairs committee with Rep.
Oliver of Alabama as it's chairman.
During its hearings testimony was Civ
