of Raymond D. Fosdick, Chairman of
the Commission on Training Camp
Activities, expressed in report made
public today by the War Department.
Secretary Baker was said to be sub
stantialIv in accord" with Mr.. Fos
dicks view.
Rivalries engendered by sectarian
nature of the Young Mems Christ
ian Association, Knights of Column
bus, Jewish Welfare Board, or other
societies sharing in the United War
Work Campaign fund of $172, 000,0 900,
Mr.. Fosdick found to have provided
"the worst possible basis for social
work with the army" a result for
which he held the Training Camp
Commission responsible for having
turned to these private agencies.
at seems to me-" said Mr.. Eos
dick, chat the lesson of the war in
social work involves perhaps three
points: The elimination of sectarian
auspices; reduction in the number of
agencies employed; and the transfer
to the Government itself, of much of
the activity heretofore left to private
initiatives"
Discussing the work of the six or
carnations that served abroad with
the army, the report said, the Young
Mems Christian Association, handling
SO per cent Of the war work budget,
and with 5000 representatives in
France, was far the largest and re-
ceived great deal of criticism from
the soldiers in France"
"Some of this criticism is merited,"
Mr.. Fosdick said, "Much of it is due,
| think, to misunderstanding"
Complaints Due to Canteen
The bulk of complaint arose from
Young Mems Christian Associations
operation of army canteens, which
Chairman Fosdck said was mis-
take although it was undertaken as
service to the army and released a
large combatant personnel From
early days, the canteen had been an
army perquisite and the soldiers
could not understand why it should
be handed over to "private society
which was at the same time raising
millions at home for support" the re-
port said and continued.
"Moreover the personnel of the Y.
M. c. A. was unframed for this kind
of work and it soon found itself in
maze of business and technical diff
ficulties with which it was unable at
first to cope. In the minds of the
soldiers, it Immediately became a
commercial organization and from
this stigma it has never succeeded in
freeing itself"
So far as the effect of the transfer
of the canteens went on the army
command, the report continued. it was
a genuine relief to the General Staff
that during the fi@htine days of the
army. it did nat have to handle the
ever troublesome canteen question.
"Fhe charge that the Y. M. G. A.
made money out of the canteen is
of course erroneous" said Mr.. Fos-
dick. "However HIGH its prices may
have been in individual localities,
considered as business venture the
total results show large losses"
Some Men Not Qualified.
Another ground for criticism of the
Y. NJ. C. A., which Mr. Fosdick said
was somewhat justified was in the
character of its personnel. While
many of its men were we'll qualified
for their work, he said that many
others were utterly unadapted to this
purpose and had no common ground
in MIXING with our virile. red-blooded

MONTENECR|NS
SUSPICIOUS OF
ALL BUT YANKS
King Nicholas Supporters Plot
to Restore Him to the
Throne.

Nifsich, Montenegro, April Is, via
Athens, May 5, (By 'MaiD This
town and the hills are full of revo-
lutionists who are scheming to put
King Nicholas back on the throne Of
Montenegro. The Royalists and Nat
ionalists of Montenegro do not take
kindly to the idea Of their little coun-
try's inclusion in the Jugo-Slav state.
The American doughboys who are
bringing food into Montenegro for
the Food Mission and the American
Red Cross Balkan Commission are
well liked and trusted by the Monte
negrins who suspect the motive Of the
troops of other nations in the coun-
try.
The Mantenegrin, however, is a
great deal like the Kentucky noun
taineer of old He dislikes intrusion
of any sort and shots have been fired
at the numerous power stations which
operate the cable tramway by which
the American food is swung through
the air from Cattaro to Cettinje. The
instinct of the Montenegrins to pre-.
serve their aloofness from the world
dies hard.
Hitherto American flour brought in
by the Food Mission and the Red
Cross had to be laboriously carried
over the Loochen road in oxcarts
Recently, however, the Americans put
the line from Cattaro up to the top
of the first pass in good order SO
that it is now used by the Red Cross
for the transport of it's goods over

He has the distinction of being

was the response of the corn -
ket today to the announcement thai
the government would maintain the
guaranteed price of 1925 for wheat.
The biggest rise was in the prin-
cipal trading delivery, December,
which scared at once to S1.52.
Wildness to buy was evident to-
day as yesterdays rush to sell.
Holders and spectators had done
the selling on the expectation that
the government would decide to
pocket a huge loss and would at
once cut wheat prices to consumers
as much as so cents a bushel.
When this idea was shown to be
baseless. the market conditions
were squarely reversed, and for the
time being little or no attention
was paid to the notice that -four
would be reduced 81 a barrel.
All Join in Advance.
New price levels extending to
other commodities. Oats quickly
shot skyward 2 cents to 5A cents,
lard IS cents a hundredweight and
pork $3.50 a barrel.
In the excited trading specnla-
tors found themselves whipsawed
to an extent not often equaled. A
majority yesterday were on the
selling side, trying to anticipate the
action of the government. Today
the lightning-like advance left no
chance to get out of the predica-
ment without a costly penalty.
So large were the buying opera
tons today that individual trades,
no matter on what scale, counted
for little. Offerings were limited
and came only from the compare
tive few who were fortunate enough
to be in a position to collect
profits.
Cut Regarded BulIish Factor.
One of the freakish Developments
was that dealers for the most part
regarded the cut of 81 in flour
prices as bullish instead of bearish. |
For the moment the view was gen
orally accepted that such a small !
cut where much larger one had !
been looked for would tend to lift |
the market for all Commodities rath-
er than to relieve the situation.
One of the reasons for the con- !
tinued strength of the market in |
the face of the $100 cut in -four
prices was that it had been figured |
by traders here yesterday that the |
government price of wheat to mill |
ers would be $175 instead of SIPS,
and that this meant -four would be
cheaper to the public by 81 bar
rel . $50.
