The government is going to fix the
price Of shoes, that is, the maximum,
and clothing and dry goods will be next.
The arguments for this are just as good
as for fixing the price Of wheat, and
more so, since there certainly has been
no profteering in wheat by the produc-
ers Of the grain, whereas the very fact
that the government finds it necessary
to tackle such essentials as shoes and
clothing, shows there has been a use Of
the war as pretext for SHINING peo-
pie. People will do all they can and
gladly, but there is certainly objection
to making lot Of manufacturers rich
out of unfair profits. If the govern
ment can come to the rescue of the peo-
pie in time Of war, why not in time Of
peace9

, shattered armies are in rapid retreat
from the Belgian frontier to the Aisne
river. So rapid is the retirement that
it is difficult to determine the exact
location of the contending forces along
this IS miles of front.
British forces have cleared the bar
rier of Normal forest and threaten to
beuge. To the south the French have
launched an attack that has. forced
the enemy back from three to four
miles, while along the Meuse the
Americans, in close cooperation with
the French, Just to the westward, have
overcome stubborn resistance by the
enemy and moved still nearer the
Sedan-Longuyon railroad.
Foe Abandons Munitions.
There is evidence that the Germans
are not carrying out the orderly re-
treat that marked their retirement
from the Marine and the Somme sail
ents. Batteries of field guns, with
horses attached, have been captured
and vast quantity of munitions,
which could be moved quickly under
ordinary circumstances, has fallen in
to the hands of the Allies.
To the north, Client is closely in
vested by the French, belgian and
British troops. The fighting there is
apparently between German rear
guards and the Allied forces, for CIV
ilians are said to be close behind the
lines, and Queen Elizabeth of Belgium
watched the beginning of the assault
against the city.
ScheIdt Crossed Everywhere.
The line of the Schedlt is 10 longer
an protection to the enemy in Bel
GUM. 1t has been crossed everywhere
from Client to Valenciennes, and it is
probable that Allied troops have been
flung across the canal north of Client.
Between Client and Brussels there
are no great natural obstacles, except
the Dendre river, which will aid the
Germans in conducting defensive op-
erations, and it seems probable that
the enemy will not turn at bay until
he reaches the. Namur-Brussels-A Ant

prepared for grim struggle

Trained by veterans of the British
tank service and equipped with the

new force will give an excellent
account of itself. The British coaches
Of the American crews have expressed
their approval Of the manner in which
their pupils have adapted themselves
to the operation of the machines and,
unless they are mistaken, the meL
whose training in England is just be,
ing completed will be given enviable
roles. Their machines have the hest
points of both the British and French
tanks and the training of the men has
been in the light of experience already
gained by the fighters of France and
England.
To every man in the American outfit
there have been impaired the stories
of mistakes made in the early history
Of tank warfare. Enlisted men and Of
ficers have been told what to do and
what not to do; all their admonitiOns
have been based not on theory but on
actual experiences, gained in the face
of German fire, loosed always upon
the slightest intimation that the tanks
are numbering to the front.
1t is expected that because of the
excellence Of the weapon with which
1t will fight and the training it has
undergone the American contingent
will prove itself exceptionally efficient.
Further cause for believing the
American Tank Corps will live up to
the estimate Of the British instructors
is the character of its personnel, both
men and officers. They are carefully
selected men, picked from the thou
sands who volunteered when the call
for tank men was made. Two base
requisites were insisted upon: First,
every man must be physically fit. and,
second, temperamentally adaptable.
The training every man has received
has meant either that he is delivered
to the commanders at the front as q
wonderfully efficient unit or is merci-
laSsly thrown out of the service. He
is turned over to the fighting force as
an expert mechanic, a man drilled in
the operation of both machine guns
and heavier ordnance, tactician and
strategist, and, finally, as a man with
no evidence Of NERVES"

TRACES KIN IN ARMY
Red Cross Will Keep Relatives

Bureau VIII Get Information Regard
Ing Men Wounded, Killed
or Missing.

Washington. American Red
Cross, through Its bureau of communl-
cation, issued a request to the rela-
tives of soldiers who are In the Amer
lean expeditionary force, in which 1t
asks these relatives to make Inquiries
regarding their kin who are in the
army through the Red Cross bureau
of communication in Washington In
stead of, as is the case in numerous
instances, of communicating with
agencies or individuals in Europe. The
request was issued in the name of
Harvey D. Gibsoo, the American BED
C-oss commissioner in France.
Mr.. Gibson poIats out the fact that
In a majority of cases such inquiries
are merely turned over by the individ-
ual or agency to the Red Cross, which
has charge Of such communication with
soldiers relatives, and which has de-
veloped special facilities for obtaining
information about those reported
killed, wounded, or missing, and those
from whom letters have not been re-
ceived. Congestion Of cables and a
loss of time and energy are also oc'
casioned by making the request other
than through the Red Cross. 1t has
been known that as many as four sep
arate requests have been received
about the same men by different In
stitutions.
Edward NJ. Day, acting director oi
the bureau Of communication, said:
"The function of this bureau Is tc
give relatives all possible information
which will lessen anxiety. Every in
quiry is handled with full realization
that prompt and full reply is Of seri
GUS moment to the happiness, peace Of
