Pershing Generalship
To Be Rrshed Through

WASHINGTON, August 26.-Legisla-
ton will be rushed through congress
comforting upon General Pershing the
permanent rank Of general before he
returns in September.
Representative Kahn, Of California,
chairman of the house committee on
military affairs, has been instructed
to ask the rules committee for spe-
cial rule for consideration.
Action on the March bill will be
delayed, and in all probability meet
defeaA The committee approved the
Persing bill unanimously, and so far
there is no disposition to oppose it.
A minority report, signed by six mem
bers, opposes the March appointment.
Failure to act before General Perish
ing returns, about September Z,
means he would revert to the grade
of major-general and would be out
ranked by General March, who will
hold the rank Of full general at least
until peace is proclaimed.

BITTER
AGAINST Allies
IN vLADIVOSTOK
Siberian Seaport Thrown Into
Commotion by Arrest and
Deportation Of Six Non
BoIshevik Officials.

Washington. March 7.-Vladi-
vostok has been thrown into a
commotion by the arrest and de-
portation of six non-bolshevik
municipal officials by Gen. Ivanoff
Rinoff, commander of the Vladivos-
tok military district under the Omsk
Siberian government.
Official advices today reporting
the incident said there was strong
feeling among the people of the city
against the allies because the seizure
of the officials was permitted. Repre-
sentatives of the allies notified their
respective governments and asked
for instructions.
1t was intimated in official quar-
tiers here that the allies and the
United States would warn Admiral
Kolchak, director of the Omsk gov
eminent, that General Rinoff must
be restrained from interfering with
the Vladivostok local authorities.
Situation Peculiar.
A peculiar situation exists at
V1adivostok. Months ago elections
resulted in the setting up of a soviet
municipal government, although the
city is within the vast stretch Of ter
ritory under the sway of the Omsk-
All-Russian regime. The city is
policed by Omsk soldiery without
regard to the local authorities and
the whole situation actually is con-
trolled by the allied and American
warships in the harbor.
First reports of the action of Cen
erai Rinoff indicates that it follow
ed agitation instigated by Generals
Hovarth and Seminole, Siberian
military commanders, who are none
too friendly to Koichak It de-
veloped later, however, that the men
deported were alleged to have been
implicated in a general plot against
the Omsk authorities. They are said
to have been sent to Hardin.

months before the signing OF the

GOVERNMENT TO

WHEAT TO MILLS
Grain Corporation win Try
to FOreStaII Increase in
Flour Prices by Resale
Of Its Stock.

New York, March The United
States flood administration grain
corporation announced tonight that
on March Is it will begin sale of
its surplus wheat holdings in Amer
lean milling centers in an effort to
prevent an increase in -four prices.
Julius H. Barns, president Of the
corporation, said the Department Of
Agriculture report, issued today, in
Dictated that contrary to public
opinion the crop of 1918 will pro-
vide no more than sufficient TO meet
our home needs and the foreign re-
quirements falling upon us" and
added that already mills were ex-
periencing such difficulty in obtain
ing wheat for milling that they we're
offering as high as 10 to IS cents a
bushel above the governments guar
snteed prices to the farmers.
1.-THE grain corporation" he said,
"by using part OF its accumulated
stock for resale in the United States
hopes TO relieve the public from any
material advance in the price of
-four"
During 1917-l9lS, Mr.. Barns
pointed out, the price of flour was
stabilized by agreement of millers
with the food administration, but
this agreement no longer is in force
and only government sale Of an adj
equate supply OF wheat to the mil
lers would prevent an increase in
flour prices, he said. This, he adj
ded, was in direct contradiction of
"the general belief that only the
purchases by the government of
wheat at the guaranteed price main
tanned the price level for the farm
ers."
The government wheat, Mr..
Barns said, will be offered for sale
on and after March Is at such mill
ing centers as Duluth, Kansas City
Chicago and St. Louis on the basis

ter form. If sufficient time is given
to revise them in my opinion, not
less than $500,000,00O could be saved
the country by proper trimming on
the army and navy bills alone.
$50 far as military or naval ex-
penditures are eoncerned.it is simply
ridiculous to claim there will be any
shortage. In fact the danger is that
these departments will expend too
much owing to the failure to re-
quire the return to the treasury of
the money unnecessarily allowed
them. In the deficiency bill that fail
ed there was SS75,000,000 In one
item ordered cancelled, being excess
appropriations for the quartermast-
er's corps, which until peace is Of
fieially proclaimed. can be transfer
ed under special provision and used
for any military purpose, as for ex-
ample the return of our troops or
any needed supplieh. The only
alarming feature Of the situation is,
that if congress is not soon con-
vened, the War and Navy depart
ments will have immense sums
which they could spend but 1t is
to behoped will not.
Provide for Railratds.
"The railroads also can be easily
taken care of. The war finance cor
poration has on hand over $780,
100000 which could be used for
that purpose. The greater part Of
the loans it has heretofore made
are to the railroads. 1t would seem
that the railroads even under gov
eminent management ought not to
require more than this amount of
aid in a few months, and my own
opinion is that they have no use for
half that amount above what will be
received from the earnings; but
there is great anxiety here in Wash
ington to get / Id of money and to
spend it.
