teer. They may seek service under
any of the following department
heads: the adjutant general OF the
army. chief signal officer. surgeon
general, chief of coast artillery, chief
or ordnance, chief of engineers,
auartermaster general. director OF

chief OF the military intelligence bu-
reau. committee on education and

PLANS TO STABILIZE
PETROLEUM PRICES ARE
ADOPTED AT CAPITAL

Washington, Aug. 19.-Plans for
the stabilization of petroleum prices,
recommended by the national pc
troleum war service committee in
New York last week. were accepted
by the fuel administration which an
nounced its belief that the agree
ment will prevent any radical change
in consumers prices of gasoline and
other oil products.
The plan provides generally for
maximum premiums for oil of vari-
Gus grades in the fields throughout
the country. As far as practicable,
the flow OF oil through existing
channels will continue and protec-
ton as to price and supplies is as
sured small refiners.
The fuel administration, the state
ment says, is also endeavoring to
have established fair differentials

MERCHANTS PERFECTING
PLANS FOR THEIR PART
IN CARTER COUNTY FAIR

A meeting of the members OF the
Retail Merchants Association was
held at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms this forenoon for the purpose
of perfecting arrangements tor the
Carter County Free Fair. 1t was
determined that the merchants will
make elaborate displays and will ill
the exposition hall to capacity. 1t
was decided that those who occu-
pied space last year may have the
same again, but any who are not
going to exhibit this year, and had
space last year, are requested to no
tify the secretary, Carl Russell, at
once, as others are waiting for it.
The merchants will cooperate with
the fair association in arranging for
special advertising matter. During
the fair several balloons will be sent
up, carrying advertising matter.
and certain prizes will be offered,
the tickets calling for the prizes to
be sent up in the balloon and the
prizes will be awarded to the per-
sons finding and returning the tick
cts.
At the meeting this afternoon a
committee was appointed to confer
with the mayor and city commission
ers and seek to have streets leading
to the fair grounds put in good con-
dition, marking the streets so as to
designate one route for going to the
grounds and one returning.
The mayor and commissioners
will also be asked to fix a rate of
fare for all conveyances carrying
passengers to and from the fair
grounds and that this regulation be
strictly enforced so as to prevent ex-
tortion.
President Ben Colbert and Secre-
tary Carl Russell. of the Fair Asso-
ciation, were present and assured
the merchants that, despite the
drouth. the promise is excellent for
the best fair yet held in Carter coun-
ty. They said that by reason of the
drouth they have put forth greater
efforts and these are bearing fruit.
Secretary Russell said he already
had in hand many fine exhibits and
he laid stress upon the fact that the
livestock exhibit will be by far the
best ever made in Carter county.
There are large purses for the au-
tomobile races and the horse races.
This is the first year the association
has Offered established purses for
automobile races. The track is be-
ing put in excellent shape and good
races may be expected.

SOLDIERS
GET ALL WHEAT
FLOUR I'm PLENTY

Washington, Aug. 19.-The Amer
lean army in France is amply sup
piled with bread made of all wheat
flour, the war department an
nounced today and the daily ration
of Is ounces of flour for soft bread
is so over abundant that a reduc-
ton to sixteen ounces day is now
under consideration.
Soldiers while in the United States
consume Victory bread with the
prescribed amount of substitutes
for wheat flour. Not until they get
to France are they allowed all-wheat
bread.
Field bakers must work swiftly
and cannot afford to experiment
with new flour mixtures.

the country who ought to go and
fight as freely as single men," he ad-
ded.

REPLIES IN RUSSIA
ARE ALS ED AND AMERICAN
CITIZENS-SWEDISH CON-
SULAR OFFICE BUSY.

Washington, Augu. 10. Sweden
has been asked by the Swedish con-
sular office at Moscow, acting for
the American and allied consults
there, to send a ship to Petrograd
to take away 200 refugees, or, if this
is impossible, to obtain permission
for these persons to pass through
Finland.
1t is assumed here that the refu-
gees are American and allied citi-
zens seeking escape from Russia.
Under date Of August II the Swed-
ish consul general at Moscow re-
ported that the German government
had refused safe conducts for any
refugees, including consular off
GERS, and it was believed this refusal
would stand until negotiations were
concluded with England concerning
the treatment of Germans in China.
A report dated August 10 said the
bolsheviki authorities had agreed to
permit the consuls to depart and
that the military missions of Great
Britain and France were preparing
to leave Moscow by way of Astra-
kan and Persia.
Held as Hostages.
When these dispatches were sent
efforts still were being made to OBJ
tain the release of British and
French citizens held as hostages by
the bolsheviki. Some were released
several days ago, but nearly hun
dred were held.
The Swedish consul general said
the effort would be great facilitated
If the allies would promise protec-
ton to soviets in northern Russia.
Long dispatches reaching the de-
partment today through the Swed-
ish foreign office described the
chaotic conditions existing in the
Russia cities. Railway service be-
tween Moscow and Petrograd has
been interrupted.
On August 9 unusual police meas
ures were taken in Petrograd. In
the afternoon of that day the Ger
man embassy arrived from Moscow
on two special trains. A third
train had 800 German soldiers in
Russian uniform, who had been in
Moscow since the assassination of
Count Won Mirbach.
Premier Lenine and Foreign Min
ster Trotzky arrived in Petrograd
on August 10.
Germans Quit Moscow.
German agents in Stockholm
we're quoted as saying on August
II that the Germans were moving
from Moscow, not because they
were afraid, but because they felt
certain of the fall of the bolsheviki
in the near future. They declared
the bolsheviki would probably be
succeeded by Chernoff and his revo-
lutionary party, who probably would
summon at once new constitu-
tional assembly which will be rec
opnized by Germany
