FOOD SUPPLIES
BEING SHIPPED
Government Store Experienced Delay
at Start, but Assures Public of
Prompt Delivery Now.

Owing to the wide publicity given by
the newspapers relative to the plan to
open a quartermaster retail store in
Boston hundreds of orders were received
before the store was opened In addi-
tion to this handicap some difficulty was
experienced in the organization and
training of a personnel to handle the
business of forwarding the vast supplies
OF surplus army foodstuffs.
So many inquiries have been received
at the zone supply office in Boston with
reference to delay in receiving purchases
made through the mail order department
that Col. L. L. Glasgow of the quarter
master corps and superintendent of. the
retail store has sent communication
to postmasters, including Postmaster
Moran, in. which he says:
I'VE are now forwarding mail orders
at the rate of about $500 day. This is
in excess of the number of orders re
ceived daily, so that it is only question
of short time when the mail order de
partment will be able to forward al
purchases without delay
Every order received is being consid
cred in its turn, and every order will b.
filled as far as possible If for any rea
son orders cannot be filled, or only par
italy filled, the remaining money vii
be refunded without expense to pur
| chaser.
/ IF the public will exercise REASONABLE
patience every purchaser will be consid
cred and his request filled as far as pos
sible"

RATIFICATION POSTPONED.
Entente Cannot Set Up Machinery to
Do It at Once.

PARIS, Oct l6-The formal ratiica-
ton of the peace treaty with Germany,
making the instrument effective, will not
take place this week, as has been expect
cd, it was announced last night by the
American delegation to the peace confer
cncc. There has been an indefinite post
ponemcBt Of this step, it was stated
Earlier in the day it had been thought
that the exchange of ratifications by the
representatives Of Greet Britain, Italy
and France with Baron Won Lersner, pres
ent head of the German mission, would
take place on Friday or Saturday.
The decision not to complete the formal
xratihcation this week was due chiefly to
the inability Of the three ratiiying powers
upon the entente side to make the neces
sary preparations to carry out provisions
Of the treaty which must be attended to
within a brief time after the actual rat-
cation
The creation of various commissions,
| which, according to the treaty, must in
augurate their work Immediately or with
j III ID days after the treaty comes into
effect, the dispatch of troops into the
areas in which plebiscites will be held,
the delimitation of the Sarre Valley states
ond the assembly of the council of the
league of nations entail "a great amount
Of work This the powers will be unable
to accomplish without delaying the date
Of ratification
In view of these provisions of the
treaty, which must be carried out imme
diatcly after it goes into effect llfrencl
rarcrs are asking what will happen i
tie United States delays ratification o
Tie treaty, which they consider neces
sary preliminary to organization of the

Have Packers Shorn of Transporta-

WASHINGTON, Oct l6-Reiteration
of the claims that the five big packing
companies of Chicago bid fair to dominate
the wholesale grocery trade and already
handle more than 300 foods unrelated to
the meat packing industry, many of them
is made in part four of the federal trade
commissions report on the industry pub
lished today.
The extent to which the packer should
be permitted to enter unrelated food lines,
the report said, is matter which the
public interests alone should determine.
Two questions primarily economic are in
volved, the report says Does this wild
ening of activity result in additional econ
omies of production and distribution; does
it result and will it continue to result to
the public in lower prices and better
qualities of product and service! \
third question not here discussed relates
to the ultimate effect of such vast and
powerful organization on the political and
social fabric of American institutions
| Included in the list of commodities sait
! to be falling under the control of the
big five" are poultry and game, dairy
products, lard and butter substitutes
