preached a supposedly wounded
German officer. The "Y" man had
gone over the top with the boys

his hands above his head in regu-

FOOD SOLD IN FRANCE

CoRLKNz July 12.--American army
officers who uncovered a plot involving
wholesale thefts OF food and other sup
plies, have notified the French Govern
ment that American bacon has been
reaching territory outside the occupied
region in Germany in French railway
cars.
The army investigators said they had
information which led them to believe
the bacon was sold to the French Gov
eminent for distribution TO French
civilians and they are anxious TO learn
IT, legitimate manner. French and
British authorities have been asked tv
cooperate in the investigation.
A surplus of bacon has been found
recently in certain German districts be-
yond the Coblenz bridgehead. In one
instance the American authorities traced
two carloads of bacon and found they
had been shipped back into the Ameri-
can area. Bacon is selling In the in
terror of Germany at from 81 to $6.25
a pound.
Ingenious methods of smuggling to-
bacco through the neutral zone have
been discovered and the prevention of
these is giving the authorities an
amount of trouble second only to that
caused by the mysterious food ship
ments Recently the Americans found

erals and the Foreign Ministers Is con-
Steering the ACCESSIBILITY OF allowing
Cxecho- Slovakia, Rumania and Jugo-
Siavia to conduct a Joint military cam
paign against Bella Kun, the Bolshevist
leader Of Hungary. No decision has been
reached so far. but It is indicated clearly
that the Allies intend to put an end to
Hungarian Socialism by military meas
ures.
The AHies reached the conclusion some
days ago that the time had come to
efface Bella Kun. The three little neigh
bors OF Hungary offered to undertake the
task If provided with munitions At yes
terday's conference Marshal Foch asked
them how much in the way Of supplies
they needed and they promised to report
in eight days.
The question Of a unified command
also was discussed, but the council with
held its approval of the plan until n re-
port has been made American military
experts are very doubtful as to its sue
cess. Reports have been received here
showing that the Hungarian Nmy is eff
cient, with a good morale, while the
forces of the little Powers are scattered
and It may be impossible to get efficient
common action.
As has been pointed out in these des-
patches, the great Powers are demobiliz-
ing and are not eager to use their troops
for that purpose. The French Govern
ment is preparing to contest the general
strike. one object of which is protest
against Intervention in Hungary.
BAsLE, July 1.-THE representatives
of the Allies in Vienna have decided that
action must be taken against the pro-
ceedings OF Bella Kun's Communist Gov
eminent in Hungary, according to the
Neues Td0bIattof Vienna, as quoted in
a despatch from the Austrian capital

cessions at Tien-tsin. Hankow or

URGES PANAMA Be
ROOSEVELT CANAL

AS a tribute to the late Colonel
Roosevelt, Senator Calder of New
York intends to introduce a bill on
the opening day Of the SIxty-siXth
Congress changing the name Of the
Panama canal TO the Roosevelt canal.
Former President Taft is one of the
strongest advocates OF such a
memorial, which is Endorsed by the
most prominent men in public life.
my bill does not carry any appro-
priation," said Senator Calder, "for
none is necessary. The mere renam-
ing Of the great ditch after the one
man who made it possible will be
sufficient to carry out our idea. OF
course, I assume there will be appro-
pirate exercises when this rededica-
ton measure becomes law"
Inspiration for changing the name
of the canal was received from Her
man Hagedorns book, THE Boys Life
of Roosevelt" by Capt. Thomas But
Ter, who suggested the plan to SEN
ator Calder.
Captain Butler was given his idea
from reading OF the energy and ac-
tivity of the former President in con-
nection with the building of the canal,
and from pictures showing Colonel
Roosevelt throwing dirt from the
ditch"
