BAKER EXPLAINS
SALES OF ARMY
MEAT ABROAD
Stock EquaIIing Normal Out
put Of Packers for Two
Years Not Put on Market
to Maintain Prices.

Washington, May 14.-Secretary
Baker denied today that there was
relation between any attempt to
support the prices of meat supplied
in this country and the tentative
arrangement reached by representa-
tives of the War department and the
packing industry for the disposal
abroad of 250,000,000 pounds of
canned meats. The department an
nounced few days ago that this
stock, amounting to the normal out
put of American packing companies
for two years, would be placed on
the European markets.
There has been misapprehension
with regard to the policy of the
department in disposing of meat
supplies the secretary declared in
an informal statement. The meats
in question are specially prepared
products in special containers, and
OF kind never sold commercially
in the United States-roast beef and
especially salted pork-which are
not articles of ordinary commercial
trade here. The cans are not even
labeled. The question of disposing
Of these supplies is not one of main
taining price levels-the War de-
partment has no interest in that
but Of finding way to dispose of
them"

MILLERS GIVE NO HOPE
OF LOWER BREAD PRICES.

Minneapolis, May l4-Minne-
apolis millcrs declared tonight that
although the United States grain
corporation may provide the mills
with less expensive wheat from Can
ada they did not believe it would
be possible to reduce flour prices
enough to make decreased bread
prices possible.
Frank L. Carey, grain corpora
ton agent for the: northwest, an
nounced that the price of Canadian
wheat purchased in Canada and re-
sold to the millers would be about
$2.40 a bushel. This is about 40
cents less than the price the millers
have been paying recently.
Millers declare that if the grain
corporation purchases only a small
quantity Of wheat from Canada, as
announced, the supply will not be
sufficiently large to bring about a
reduction in flour prices.

Mrs. Saltzman wanted her hus-

But this wasn't from Pershing.

He went to France last Septem-
