FRANCE MAY TAKE
!: ! OVER ALL CATTLE
High Cost Of Living May Also Bring
Maximum Pricing Of
Meats.

Especial Correspondence of The Sunday
Star and New York World.)
-PARIS. April 20-The French minister
= food supply. Victor Boret. is at present
rhuch occupied with the ever-increasinR
high cost Of foodstuffs. in France, particu-
Sarfy meat. 1t Is pointed out here that
chile there may not be many cattle fit for
meat. there is no reason why the cost of
tAfs foodstun should be so high and con-
ttnualiy soaring.
Boret says if certain plans he has now
do not succeed in reducing the cost Of
peat he will go as far as requisitioninS
all cattle and will also fix a maximum
price. There Is also mention of meatless
weeks.
i Some time ago France experienced
1 msatisss days iaI, twice a week; but this
the high cost Of living are said to be
tntermediaries who buy at a rather
low rate but sell to dealers with enor-
nous profits
: Previous French cabinets have tried
to put down the high cost of living
without success for 1t seemed nothing
could be done to the Intermediates.
C1emonceau's ministers, however, are
taken against these spectators The
trouble is the high cost only hits the
workingman, who really is fighting
the country's battles in the rear, while
the soldiers arc doing the same at the
'front.'. A rich man in France can and
will pay high prices but the work
man cannot. and necessarily suffers.

for Refusing to Undergo Opera
ton When Ordered.

CAMP MEADE. Nd. April 2O-For re-
fusal to be operated upon for hernia
private Israel Lain, 5th Company,
18th Depot Brigade, was sentenced to
five years Imprisonment at hard labor
by the terms of court-martiol sent
ence announced today. Private Lain per-
sisted in his refusal to undergo the oper-
alton even after a board Of medical
officers had informed him that it was
necessary to enable him to perform his
military duties.
Lain was informed that he might be
court martioIed. and he was told of
heavy penalties that had been imposed
in similar cases. The last case Of the
kind here resulted in a sentence to
two years Imprisonment. The sentence
Of five years indicates that where man
deliberately refuses to submit to minor
operation to fit him for military service
he will not be dealt with lightly.

MARINE OFFICER ON DUTY
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April 20.-The Phil
adelphia police force, so far as the crusade
against vice conditions here is concern
ed, was virtually taken over by the fed
eral government today. This announce
ment was made tonight by Mayor Thorn
as B. Smith after it was made known
that Superintendent of Police James
Robinson had been given a thirty day
vacation, and that Captain of Police
William B. Mills had been appointed
acting superintendent.
THE police bureau will be turned
over to the government" the mayor
said. ut has been virtually COM

Capt. Mills will work in the closest
cooperation with Lieut.. Col. Charles

Corps
Creates Political Stir.
This development in the federal gov
ernment's crusade to clean up Phila-
delphia in order to protect soldiers
and sailors created a stir in political
circles. Politics will have no influence
in the police department, Mayor Smith
will be carried out.
Col. Hatch came here a week ago
by orders Of Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels and. after a conference with
the mayor, said Philadelphia must
clean up in week or the government
would take drastic action. Action on
tne part Of the mayor followed He caused
numerous police officials and patrolmen
to be transferred to other districts and
notified more than 200 property owners
that they must eliminate vice from the
houses they own. During the week
the captain of the detective bureau
handed in his resignation.
Col. Hatch's Statement.
Col. Hatch in a statement tonight
said:
THE mayor has assured me that
Capt. Mills will be absolutely unfet-
tered by politics or any outside in
fuence in conducting the police force
of this city. Our Investigations during
the past week show that on the sur
face vice conditions in Philadelphia
have greatly improved.
"In view of present conditions. as
representative of the Secretary Of the
Navy in Philadelphia, I reserve the
right at any time it is deemed neces-
sary to recommend such action as
think the situation demands. I leave
for Washington tomorrow for a con-
ference with Secretary Daniels, when
will lay the whole situation before
him."
The crusade against vice began here
two weeks ago when Secretary Daniels
made public a report submitted to him
that vice conditions in Philadelphia
were bad. and charging that police
men were in collision with the keep
ers Of disorderly houses. bootleggers
and others who are a menace to young
soldiers and sailors stationed mathis
