Commission, Headed BY
Brownlow, to Make
Rapid Inquiry.

Washington housewives have been
gouged for some time in buying fresh
meat. and the local food admins
tration has taken charge Of the situ-
alton.
~ special investigating commissions.
headed by Commissioner Louis
Brownlow, will ask the reason why
prices are continually climbing. Early
next week the commission will start
the investigation with the aid Of the
Baltimore food administration. In
Baltimore. the price OF meat has been
fixed for the last two months. with
satisfactory results.
The first act of the new commit
tee will probably be to fix the price
of meat. and the quoting Of prices
on the weekly price lists.

There has been a wide range OF

tor has made every effort to be fair
10 both dealer and consumer in FIX
ing prices.
Potatoes are quoted as five cents
higher than last week, although there
has been a drive for a more extend
ed use Of potatoes throughout the
city. This raise in the retail price
is explained by the fact that there
is great shrinkage in the handling
OF new potatoes and a very unstable
market
1t was also unearthed that dealers
had been buying No. potatoes and
selling them at No. l prices
Butter Prices High.
No. potatoes are OF medium size

fections that mar their beauty. but
not their edible qualities. No. ! are

Meat May BE Cut Down.


The meat ration. too. may be cut
down. The imperial Meat Office is
planning measures against the ag-
rarian class for not supplying the
communal food organization with
cattle. The agrarians reply that
they haven't got the cattle, which
were Killed months ago because of
lack Of fodder. The Imperial Food
Oince IN answer to this points out
that a sufficient delivery will have
TO be enforced. as the meat ration
cannot be further reduced"
Cattle or no cattle. meat must be
furnished. because German Official

thing wrong in the logic of this
reasoning and the SaXons so dis

available here. without coming TO the
conclusion that the dual monarchy is
undoubtedly doomed to revolution and

The rationing OF bread and meat, he
added, must continue for years. So
great was the hubbub raised over this
threat TO the two foods that mainly
keep the people alive. bread and po-
tatoes, that an official denial was
soon put out to delay alarm. The
War Food Board in Berlin declared
that the assertions are not correct.
The bread ration will not be reduced
for the present. THE War Food Board
hopes TO manage with the existing
stocks. There is no Idea Of reducing
the potato ration, since last year 5
crop guarantees a weekly supply of
seven pounds a head per week until
the new harvest" The phrase for
the present" as applied TO the bread
supply makes the denial meaningless.

cate that the potato ration can be
continued many weeks longer.
