CONTINUE CONTROL,
URGES FOOD CHIEF

Unless food prices in the District
are controlled for some months after
the war. either by the Hoover admin
istration. or in case OF its disSolu-
tion, by the citizens council, the price
of food Is bound to become almost
prohibitive In Washington, in the
opinion Of Clarence r. Wilson, Dis
trict food chief.
Although prices, will go down to
about normal within the course Of
few months, under the direction of
the Food Administration, economic
conditions would soon force them up.
IL the restraining influence of the
weekly fair price list were removed
suddenly" said Mr.. Wilson.
III. the Food Administration re-
mains in existence for q year or so
after the war, the fair price list
could be continued and the articles
now listed gradually dropped. This
would restore the food situation to
an ante-bellum basis without serious
disorder. Provided the Food Admin
istration automatically ceases to ex-
list at the conclusion OF peace, would
suggest that the citizens food coun-
ell get together with the grocers and
butchers of Washington and appoint
JOINT fair price nX1ng committee
This committee should have much the
same powers as the price fixing COM
mittee OF the District Food Admins
tration.
The retailer apd wholesaler would
thus have q voiee in the fixing Of
prices while the consumers necessarily
would be willing to stand by the de-
cisions Of his representatives on the
committee Thus citizens would act
a. a safety valve for the merchants
and vice versa Prices would. necessar-
ily, be neither too high nor too low.
In order to successfully carry out
such q plan. in the event Of the dis
continuance of the activities OF the
food administration It would be neces-
sary for all. food dealers voluntarily to
agree to abide by the decisions or the
price fixing committee. unless Con-
gress extended the present food laws
to cover such an emergency.
The plan Of Washington commun-
ity centers to bring foodstuffs to
Washington by motor truck. now in
its early stages, win aid materially in
keeping down prices in the National
Capital after the war and with the
food dealers-citizens price-flxing COM
mittee would preserve Washington
from the food 'gouger' following the
wars end"

NATION HAS SENT 1,019,1t5
TROOPS ACROSS ATLANTIC
Transport of Men Grows Each Month
Navy Holding Sea Losses
to 291.

Washington, July 2.-Americal
troops sent overseas numbered l,
019,115 on July /.
This was made known tonight by
President Wilson, who gave to the
public letter from Secretary Baker
disclosing a record OF achievement
which the President said must cause
universal satisfaction" andr which
will give additional zest to our ma
tional celebration Of the 4th Of July.
The first units-non-combatant-
left American shores May 5, 1917
General Pershing followed twelve days
later and at the end of the month
171S men had started for the battle
fields of France. June saw this mum
ber increase by 12,261, and thereafter
khaki-clad Crusaders from the west
ern republic flowed overseas ina steady
stream, until upward of 100000 had de-
parted when the great German thrust
began last March.
President Wilson's determination to
meet Germany's supreme efforts with
the utmost of Americas available man
power to assist the desperately resist
ing French and British armies is
sharply reflected in the movement of
troops during the past three months.
The March sailings of S3,S11twere in
creased in April to 117,212. May saw
another 244,345 men embark and last
month 276,372 were sent away, making
total for three months Of 637,9 ,929.
This, Secretary Baker said later, put
the troop movement six months ahead
OF the original program.
Substantially thirty divisions are
now in France ready to meet whatever
move the German staff has in prepara-
ton. Some of these divisions already
have been formed into the first field
army under Major General Liggett,
others are holding trench sectors at
important points along the battle line
and still others have been broken up
and brigaded with the French and
British troops. And so when the Ger
man thrust comes the Americans will
be called upon to play no small part in
meeting it,
General Pershing and his staff sail
ed May 20, 1917. The embarkation in
the months from May, 1917, to and in
cluding June, 1918, are as follows:
May LIS, June 12,261, July 12,9SS,
August 1928, September s2,E23, Oct

PIP, May 244,345, June 276,372, Marines
1854, total 1,019,115.
Secretary Baker wrote the President
the supplies and equipment in France
for the million men who have gone is
shown by latest reports to be adequate
and added: "The output of our war
industries in this country is showing
marked improvement in practically all
lines of necessary equipment and sup
ply"
