these there are about 100 who really
merit discharge and they will receive
It as soon as get orders which will
allow me to draw on some other or
ganizatlon for their replacement.
These departments must be kept up
to their highest efficiency and this
rush to get out Of the army before
peace is even declared is making It
very hard, not only on us, but also on
those whose condition makes their
release really urgent. These boys did
not have to risk their lives on the fir
ing line and It is only fair to the ones
who did, and to the country, that they
keep going efficiently and without
complaint until their duty is done"

TOO FREE A FLOW TO SUIT

Senator Chamberlain, defending the
Food Control Bill, said in Washing
ton!
How unmeasured the attacks on
this excellent bill have been. Now,
am like the boy at the movies. I
like measure and restraint.
Two boys at the movies saw a
tragic picture play, and one of them
was overcome. He took out his hand
kerchief and wept and sobbed.
Why, Bill, ye're blubberin'l" said
the other boy.

GONE FOR A COP
That Was the idea That Mr.. SChwab
Had Relative to the Confession
Business.

The following ancedote was told by
Charles NJ. schwab at the convention
Of the reconstruction congress of the
United States Chamber of Commerce.
do you know" said Mr.. Schwab,
"the other night when was down at
Bethlehem, l had a dream. l dreamt
that l ought to go to confession to
tell some of the things l did twenty
odd years ago when a lot of big cor
porations were formed. You know,
had a little to do with the formation,
of one Of them, at least. But in my
dream I seemed to feel that l ought
not to go to confession, unless I took
Mr.. Morgan with me. But then I re-
membered Mr.. Morgan was a protes-
tant, while I was a Catholic and, in
the dream, couldn't figure to bring
Morgan to the confessional.
But then a happy thought struck
me. remembered that my parish
priest good Father Zahm, who is sit
pathy as broad as charity, and so
asked him If I could bring Morgan to
confession. He thought it over for a
while and concluded that he would
strain a point and receive Mr.. Nor
gan's confession with my own. A
few days later as I dreamed the
dream, we went to confession and we
told Father Zahm-Mr. Morgan and
Ia lot Of things that we had never
told anybody else before and we new
er told anybody else afterward. Fin
ally, when we seemed to be all
through with our stories, the good
father said:
You fellows wait here for a little,
and I'll be back
1T seemed to me that he was gone
an unconsclonable while. and l was
getting nervous 1 waited a while
longer, and then said to Mr. Nor.
gan:
" Where do you suppose he's
gone? and Morgan replied:
" oh, he's Just gone out in some
other part of the church and will be
back shortly
II thought for a moment, and ther
said, Don't you believe it. AS sure
as shooting, he's gone for a cop

CAMP FUNSTON, Jan 23.-with
applications for discharge coming in
by the hundred, commanding officers
of various permanent camp organiza-
tions here are swamped under an
avalanche of afidavits, testimonials
and letters from and about soldiers
who want to become civilians.
Two classes of men are being
shown up, say officers who are strug-
Cling with the flood of applications
One consists of the men who were as
signed to the quartermasters, utilities
and other permanent organizations
| through no wish of their own but be-
cause of training or ability along GER
tain lines and who have made the best
of thankless job.
The Scramble for Safety
The other class is that of the ones
who scrambled to get into these safe,
non-combatant organizations to avoid
service behind the business end Of a
gun at the front, and who now are
scramblig just as hard to get out into
civilian life ahead of the rush
The latest regulations for discharge
from these departments which must
be kept up to full strength and eff
ficiency to handle the regular camp
work during the demobllization per-
iod, is that deserving cases may be
released If their places can be filled.
There are many who have good rea-
sons for discharge under this ruling
because of dependents or for other
urgent causes, it is said, whose claims
are being seriously hurt and deferred
because of the rush Of applications
based on every possible kind of aiibi
Married in a Hurry
In many cases where a discharge
claim has been entered for reason Of
a dependent wife, investigation has
shown that the marriages were made
Just before, or sometimes even after
the mans induction into the service.
At one place a man attempted TO en-
ter claim on account of his depend
ent mother. It was found that the
mother, far from receiving any, had
been actually sending him funds all
during his service with the army.
One firm applied for the discharge
OF man on urgent industrial
grounds. A letter admitted that his
place could be very capably filled but
thought that he should be sent home
'at once rather than have a substitute
take the place temporarily. Some
firms are not so frank and declare
that everything will go TO rack and
ruin unless certain bookkeepers OF
mechanics are returned to them at
once.
One man is a partner with his faith
er and several brothers in business in
a nearby city. Several letters and af-
fidavits declare that although the
father and other brothers are on the
Sob, the business will undoubtedly go
to pieces and throw a hundred work.
ers out of employment II the soldier
is not discharged at once.
Out of some fifty letters received
at one time, it is stated, there was but
one application made which warrant
ed consideration. That one had been
Investigated and endorsed by tho Red
Cross.
Here Is the Contrast
In contrast come the cases OF many
who have urgent need Of immediate
return to civil life but who are out
numbered. placed in bad light and
put to a considerable disadvantage by
the others.
There are about 500 men in my
department" said the commanding
officer Of one organization responsible
in great measure for the comfort
and safety of the camp. "out of

SOARING FOOD PRICES
ALARMING TO PARIS
High Costs Play Important
Part in Labor Unrest.
BY ne Associated Press.

PARIS, June 13.-The cost of food in
Paris continues to rise in an appalling
manner, Notwithstanding the attempts of
the Government TO keep prices down. The
high cost Of living is causing great ap-
prehension because OF the important part
II plays in strikes and other demonstra-
tions being made against the Govern
ment.
Foodstuffs OF all kinds are much higher
in price in Paris than In London, and the
difference in the figures in the two coun-
tries Is causing much comment In the
Paris newspapers. While the extremely
dry season Is forcing many owners of
liYe stock to sell their animals because OF
lack OF pasturage. and wholesale prices
OF meat are supposed to be falling be-
cause of this state OF affairs. there has
been little change made in retail prices.
Meat products are selling in Paris
beefsteak, $I.S2 mutton chops, $l.2S;
veal. sl.3s, and ham, $3.50. These
prices must be computed by estimatin
the franc at francs rs confines
10 the dollar, as French wages have
not increased to meet the fall in the
exchange rate.
Chickens are selling at from q to
IS each. Condensed milk Is 40 cents a
can and sugar costs from 16 to Is cents
a pound when It u obtainable. Dealers
are getting s1.1b dozen Tor eggs. The
price OF cherries and Strawberries
ranges from 81 TO 46 cents a pound
while dried beans are bringing rs cents
a pound and old patotoes 6 cents anc
new potatoes IS cents.
