AS these are especially valuable
now, he told the solicitor that If
the committee would send some one
to measure the trees and ascertain
their value, he would be willing to
sell them and buy Liberty Bond

Accordingly Boy Scout will ar

COST Of FOOD IN
N|NELARGE CITIES
Comparison of Prices Shows
Washington Leads in Al
most Every Commodity.

A comparison Of retail prices OF the
principal articles of food III nine large
cities of the country for last July l5'
as reported by the Labor Department
shows that Washington led the eight
other cities in almost every commod-
ity, which included meats, butter
eggs, poultry and potatoes.
Cities compared were Washington
Baltimore, New York. Detroit, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Pitts
burgh and St. Louis. Sirlion steak
brought $.492 cents pound in Wash
ington, while it's nearest competitor
was Pittsburgh, which charged $.471
cents a pound. Prices in the other
cities were lower.
Washington led by a great margin
in prices obtained for round steak,
rib roast, chuck roast. pork chops
lard, lamb, hens and potatoes. st.
Louis alone outpriced Washington on
plate beef, and Los Angeles and San
Francisco were higher on butter.
Washington and Los Angeles led on
the price of milk, the charge being IA
cents a quart. Wherever Washington
was behind other cities on prices, IN
most cases, the difference in price was
slight. All in all. Washington held by
a long lead her standard OF hlgh
prices.

Regulations Effective Tomorrow
Are Calculated to Save Many
Million Pounds.

New regulations, to become effective
tomorrow, will require the consumer
to buy his allotment of sugar every
fifteen days or semi-monthly. instead
of weekly as at present, according to
a new ruling Of the United States
Food Administration.
The new order will prohibit a per-
son obtaining more than two pounds
of sugar a month and result in the
saving Of approximately 200.000,oo
pounds year, it is announced
Many people," says the announce
ment, were unconsciously breaking
the regulation regarding the distribu-
ton of sugar by purchasing their
sugar on the basis of one-half pound
per capita per week. On this basis of
four weeks to the month there would
be only forty-eight weeks to the year.
or three hundred and thirty-six days.
This would leave Twenty-Five days,
or practically another month. during
which sugar would be consumed on a
basis of two pounds per capita With
a population of 100,000.000 people this
would require about an additional
zoo, 100000 pounds of sugar"

German Prisoners Pleased.

The German prisoners in American
hands were told early today of their
countrys peace offering. Instead of
adding to their gloom the general eff
feet was to stimulate them to some
liveliness. The good humor of the
prisoners was lowered somewhat, at
least in one cage, by the suggestion
that they might be detained until
French villages are restored.
Along the roads and in the trenches
the American soldiers were disposed
to regard the peace development as a
matter of course, one for satisfac-
ton. but not for premature rejoicing.
The fighting at the Marine and on
the scissors. st. Mihiel and other. sec
tors has developed in the American
soldier a grimness that it would be
difficult to explain. There were few
comments on the peace situation as
the business Of warfare proceeded to-
day.
We'll. If Heinie wants to quit ne
can do SO. But it's up to him to do
the quitting" was the most general
expression used by the American
troops.

Effect Just as Expected.

The effect produced was what might
have been expected. There were rare
instances of outbursts of enthusiastic
cheering. but for every man who so
displayed his emotion there were a
hundred whose only comment was an
expression of doubt as to the honesty
of Germanys Intentions.
There was nothing in the days
operations to convince the Americans
that the war was over. Before day
light the Germans displayed more
than usual activity in Smelling certain
positions. East and west of the
Mouse they brought up fresh forces
and counter attacked. All of them
broke down before the violent firing
of the Americans.
As the day wore on the fighting de-
veloped greater intensity along the
western part of the line. but it was
confined almost wholly to the artil-
lery wings. the American fire finally
attaining the proportions of barrage,
although it was not followed up by
infantry attack.

Whether the news Of their govern

has reached the Germans is not
known, but the greater part of the
