This il the last notice I expect to
give to some merchants before I re-
port them to the Food Administra-
tor. 1t has been reported to me
that some merchants are charging
more than $1.20 profit per barrel for
-four which is the limit of profit fix
ed by the Government. This means
the actual cost Of flower at mill plus
freight and drayage. Because you
sell 1t on time does not give you the
right to charge more than $1.2O per
barrel. II you can't sell it at this
profit my advice is not to sell it
at all for IL you do am going to re-
port you just as certain as the sun
shines. You must not make over
ten per cent on sugar either So
many complaints are coming in 1 am
compelled to take this measure-so
look out.
One OF the wholesale merchants
gave me the price on -four today: this
includes freight and drayage: Plain
-four $12.3O; self raising flour $11.45
per barrel-add $1.2O per barrel to
that and it would be $12.5O and
$12.65 Eight "a pound bags equal
a barely If you are being charged
more than this let me know. Penal
ty for violation is four years in pris-
on or $4,000, or both.

With the American Forces, on the
Marne, June 1S.-Gas is being used
by the Germans on this front to a
greater extent than they have done
heretofore. The Bots de Belleau
came in for its share, but the Ameri'

An American patrol crossed the riv-

been increasing for some time and the
fire has Increased proper.

HAS new | DIVER Cha SER
Novel Type Of Submarine Patrol
Proposed By Official.
Franklin Roosevelt Assistant Naval
Secretary Has New Vessel To
Fight Raiders or Coast.

Washington, June 1s.-If plans now
being urged in the navy department
materialize, submarine patrol vessels
resembling cross between Ford
eagleboat and a destroyer will be
built to meet the coastal U-boat dan.
ger.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Franklin Roosevelt, who sponsored
the submarine chaser plan. is the pro-
ponent of this new type of craft; and
is urging on other chiefs the need not
alone Of trying out this variety, but
also Of experimenting with several va.
rieties which can be turned out quick.
~. ",.I
Cost Held Less.
The eagle destroyer variety would
be $50 feet long, constructed largely
along destroyer lines with thin plates
and high speed. Its cost would be
half or less than that Of q destroyer
and its period of construction far
shorter.
Roosevelt does not claim that this
is a panacea, but is urging that 1t
and other types ought to be built a.
an experiment and then should they
be satisfactory, should be developed
coincidentally with the destroyer pro-
gram. ...4 ~
Other types he suggests are 120
foot wooden boats with a system OF
propulsion cheaper than that Of the
submarine chasers and a 200 foot
boat that would develop speed with.
out extreme cost. Both these types
could be produced quickly and cheap.
".
