81; seems to me that it Is not ques-
ton of what the distributors ~ fluid milk

turers OF butter. cheese, condensed milk

products utilize two-thirds of all the
milk produced. not only In this State but
In all dairy States. Butter, cheese and
condensed milk made in New York State
cannot be sold for a higher price than
the same things maze In other States.
GLOW then can either the manufactur-
ers Of these articles, or the farmers pro-
ducing the milk that goes into them
continue in business unless both are pre-
pared to meet the market do
not believe you will deny that the ruling
prices throughout the country for butter
and cheese form the basis for the price OF
fluid milk every where, and the old law o.
supply and demand still makes the
prices for butter and cheese and every

disabuse their minds of the notion that
the next loan would have to be sub

Secretary Glass expressed himself as
confident that the Governments appeal
to the people would not be made in vain

Call Hearst Their Friend.

I'VE believe said the memorial in
part. Mr.. Hearsts appointment is a
proper recognition Of his interest In the
welfare OF our soldiers. sailors and ma
rines and that our heroes have no
greater champion, no more sincere and
patriotic friend, than Mr.. Hearst
Our brave men put forth their great
efforts and risked their lives that true
democracy might live, not only political
democracy, but in a larger sense. n
democracy OF equal economic and in
dustrial opportunities.
Mr.. Hearst has fought the fight
against intrenched privileges in this
country. and it il fitting and proper that
a conspicuous defender OF the rights OF
the people should DO a conspicuous
member OF the committee which greets
the peoples soldiers.
THE appointment Of Mr. Hearst is
taken advantage OF not so much to crit
iclze you as TO afford occasion and on

Witness Told House Committee That
Valuable Army Machines Were
Destroyed in France.

NEW YORK, July 30-The sub-com-
mittee of the house of representatives
which has been investigating cruelties
practiced on prisoners in American pris-
on camps abroad turned its attention
today to destruction of American army
property in France under the direction
of army officers. The first incident taken
up was the disposition of 100 airplanes
at Colombes les Bellies.
Paul L. Lockwood of Stamford
Conn, formerly lieutenant of aviation
in the first pursuit group testified that
upon returning to America he met
number of his colleagues who told him
that the planes had been damaged and
then burned. The engines were shot
out, the witness said his informant told
him, only the gas tank and radiators
being saved. The planes then were
thrown into pile and burned
While the fire was in progress armed
guards patrolled the vicinity to prevent
photographs being taken, according to
the witness, who estimated that the sal
vaged parts were worth about l5 cents
each. Some of the machines, he had
been told, had been flown only 90 min
utes.
A telegram from General Pershing
denying that the reported destruction
took place was read into the records
| The only witness examined who saw
| the fire was John G. McKaye. an en-
| listed man in the air service. He testi
| fed that most of the machines des
troyed belonged to outfits. leaving
France for home. He put the tota
number of planes destroyed at 115 ant
said the conflagration was commonly
referred to by the soldiers as the mil
lion dollar fire. Despite restrictions
he said, certain soldiersvtook snapshots
He promised TO get them for the com
mittee.
Representative Bland stated tha
when he visited the front last Angus
he was told that at one place six Amer
lean aviators had lost their lives in g.
| days because of defective planes
