ACUTE CRISIS IS
 FACED IN LONDON
Government Plans to Use if Necessary, Armed Force in the Railway Strike Food Problem is Serious.

London, Sept. 26.-The government tonight was marshalling all the facili- ties at it's disposal with the avowed intention of fighting to bitter finish a countrywide strike of railway men, which was due to begin at midnight as result of the refusal of the na- tional union of railway men to accept the governments proposals regarding the fixing of permanent rate of wages as basis for further negotia- tions.
 From an authoritative source, 1t was learned tonight that the gov ernment intends to use it's every re- source, even to the employment of armed forces if necessary, to combat what was characterized as "heinous offense" and "a strike against the life of the community"
 Already preparations have been made to continue the transport of necessities by motor cars; the war office has suspended all leaves of
 absence and further demobilization of the military forces, and the food min lister has revived virtually all the war measures regarding the rationing of food.
 | London, Sept 26.--The food con-
 troller tonight issued an order virtu- ally reviving the war measures re garding food, namely, by prohibiting hoarding beyond one weeks supply and applying the ration of meats to public eating houses, which will not be allowed to. serve sugar, milk, or butter separately, except to children i. under 10 years of age. The order comes into operation to- morrow. Local food controllers are
 empowered to fix maximum prices of
 articles which previously have not
 been affected by such methods.
 All persons able to drive vehicles are invited to offer their services to
 the government.

are not permitted to come home? Now most Americans know that troops had to be held on the Rhine until peace was signed and they were held therein case of emergency. It is about time that the folks at home knew the naked truth, and let them question personally or write the War Department for the record of any man who tells them that we were being kept there because we are un- fit to associate with clean Americans. The overwhelming chances are that the men who spread these various reports are, or were, diseased them
 selves. The regiments today being
 held over there are the elite of the American army, and they are morally
 clean, too, among them being many Arizona boys.

VICIOUS REPORT IS BRANDED
 IS FALSE

w. ]. Young, until recently with the Third Division, army of occupa- ton in Germany, has reached Camp Merritt, N. J., and in due time will arrive in Prescott discharged from military service. He is a son of Mrs Alice Fernandes, and to her sends an interesting recital of his experi- ence.
 Reports printed in many Ameri can newspapers that men in the American forces in Germany are dis eased and were sent to hold the lines in Germany as punishment for moral laxity has aroused a whirlwind of indignation and protest from men of the Third Division. A terrible wrong has occurred in the states by the cir culation of reports that the men on the Rhine are being held there be- cause they are unclean and morally unfit to be sent home. Such an inn putation is malicious and despicable. Whoever heard of men being sent to the line of duty who were physically diseased? Would it be liability or an asset to a unit? It is also known where fathers and mothers have writ ten asking if their hoy had fallen by the wayside and had to remain until he could have received the treatment which would allow him to return. I know of one case where a soldiers sweetheart in the states got married to soldier at home simply because the newspaper said the report was generally true. It is not punishment for the American forces that are still stationed on the Rhine, but the op- posite, for those divisions still or duty there are the ones which ac- complished the most and could be depended upon. Now here is another case to mention and there are scores of just such letters coming over

AS Time is Marked at Versail-

Signatures of Austrians is
Being Prepared.

While time is virtually being
marked by the peace congress at
Versailles with regard to Germany,
awaiting the coming of next Thurs
day. when the Germans ere to make
known their answer to the allied de-
mandS for peace, the council Of four
daily is at work deciding questions
which have arisen through the pre-
sentalion of notes by the German
pleripotentiaries. Protest against the
Saare Valley award and the question
Of reparaticns by Germany were dis
cussed by tie council Thursday and a
reply was returned To Versailles by
the allies of the note dealing with the
repa triaion of German war prisoners
Indications arc that German prisoners
guilty. of crimes will be held for trial
and punished.
Prior to the receipt Of the German
reply, it is expected that the Aus
trians VIII be handed the peace treaty
they are expected TO sign. The belief in
Paris is that this will occur early
next week. Meanwhile the Turkish
and Bulgarian peace delegates have
arrived IL Switzerland, where they
are awaiting Il summons to France
by the peace congress.
There has been some friction in the

Probes Seed Sales

Columbia, May 22.-Referring to
two letters of E. W. Dabbs with ref
erence to the sale Of cotton seed at
less than the stabilized price. it seems
proper to say that the food admins
tration has investigated every report
OF sales 1T less than the stabilized
price and will continue to do SO as
long as it exists. With reference to-
the sales at Olanta, the sales referred
to b. Mr.. Dabbs were investigated
promptly after they were called to
our attention and a detailed report
forwarded to the division of enforce
ment of the food administration ct
Washington with recommendation for
prompt and vigorous handling.
The food administration in this
State is maintaining the stabilized
price Of cotton seed with all the legal
powers it has, and all sales at less
than the stabilized price of S71 for
car load lots and s6S for wagon seed
are investigated and reported to
Washington with proper recommended
'tion. The stabilized prices are for
sound and mature seed. and circular
regulating sales of unSound and in-
mature seed has been sent to the
trade
Our estimate is that not more than
3 per cent of the seed in South Car
clina is unmarketed.
