Washington. Aug. 27. - President
Wilson will begin his trip to the Pac-

be arranged, probably within ten days
or two weeks. Secretary Tumulty
made this definite announcement to-
day adding that the president felt he
should make the trip. II is regarded as
likely that the president will reach the

Secretary Tumulty said the tour
would occupy about twenty five days

the itinerary is expected to be COM

The president was represented as re-
garding 1t more pressing than ever he

planned that he would not necessarily
wait for the peace treaty to be report
ed to the senate by the foreign rela-
tions committee.
May Change Program.
While the president wishes to start
on his tour very soon there are var
ious elements that must be considered,
including the necessary arrangements
for his receptions in the cities to be
visited, and his desire to greet General
Pershing when he arrives in New
York next week.
Secretary Tumulty said the press
dent felt the speach making tour was
of greater Importance, and that pos

at ST. Louis as the general plans to

Washington viii Say No.

Washington. Aug. 27.-No inquiry
has been made of the United States as
to whether Won Haimhausen, former
councillor of the German embassy here,
will be acceptable as ambassador, bu:
there is every indication that this gov
ernment will not receive Haimhausen
or any one else formerly connected
with the regime Of Count Won Berns-
torff
Nearly every one connected with the
embassy in Washington in days pre-
ceding Americas entrance to the war
Is regarded by the government as more
or less involved in the intrigues and
plots which stirred the country.
When 1t was proposed to send Bern
storff to Paris at the head Of the Ger
man peace commission the American
delegation let 1t be known that while
they had no legal right to dictate the
personnel Of the German commission
yet they would have no communlca-
tion with Bernstorff and his appoint
ment would not add to the Germans
chances in securing the best terms.
Haimhausen's attachment to the
German commission was scarcely less
welcome. but it was tolerated by the
American commissioners for the rea-
son that his familiarity with the is
sues might make him useful and his
connection with the operations here
was less than that of his principal

SUNDAY to wean that town from the

Johnston's advance work was faulty.
He had not prepared himself to with-
stand that delight of your free-born
-"heckling"-whereas the anti
prohibition faction, which seemed to
include most of the townsmen, had
come thoroughly prepared for the en-
counter. and they were on the visitor
with spurs from the moment he step
ped onto the platform.
He hardly had opened his mouth be-
fore questions began to whiz at him
from every quarter of the house-trick

ans of British political meetings
Johnston. serenely ignorant of what
was coming, was as wide open as n
park cato to verbal Jolts that shot Ii;
from every row of the audience. and
his confusion was great and delightful
to the enemy.
Cat calls and derislve shouts
drowned his voice when he attempted
to tell the Villagers how much good
prohibition was going to do in Amer
ica, and. altogether, 1t is safe to say
the active prohibition campaign turn
ed turtle at the launching.
The British press was eagerly watch

UNCLE SAM, MERCHANT.
Governments Plans For Entering -,
tail Trade Extensive.

Washington Aug. GA radical
project Of vast proportions to force
down prices on the necessities of life
and hold them In check pending the
restoration of normal price and pro-
duction conditions. is being considered.
by the administration.
The proposal Is that the government
establish retail stores th-uout the
country, purchase food, clothing, and
other necessities In Immense quantl-
| ties, and resell them TO consumers at
| cost.
h A step in this direction was taken
today when the war department an
nounced that Sept. - 1t would open
| fourteen or more retail stores for the
| sale directly TO the people OF surplus
army clothing, blankets, soap. and
other articles
Sales will be made by the govern
ment at cost. either over the counter
| or on catalogue orders deliveries to be
made by parcel post to any part Of the
country at counter prices.
If it Is determined to undertake the
larger project OF the government reg
| ulating prices b. acting as middeman
and retailer and selling at cost, the
war department will resume wholesale
purchase ON a large scale, keeping the
stores open after the surplus army
supplies are disposed of and. besides,
opening many other sales centers.
Altho this suggestion OF setting up
government competition with retailers
was discussed In the cabinet meeting
today. in the course of general con-
sltferatioR~of the cost OF wing crisis,
iy,I nf his
opinion OF the feasibility Of the scheme.
strong objection has been advanced
on the ground that neither the war
department nor any other government
Fhgency Is authorized by law to buy sard
sell commodities for the purpose OF
supplying tho public.
The war Departmental was pointed
out Is authorized to purchase for army
needs and 10 dispose OF surplus after
such rcquirements have been met.
Advocates Of the plan took their cue
from the experience Of the war de-
partment In selling surplus army foods.
Before the foods were placed on sale
market prices declined and the war de-
partment promptly cut it's own prices
below tho lowest market quotations
Government competition became II
