No food, no shelter. Swept by machine gun and shell fire. An inferno day and night. And little hope of escaping.
 Five days of this! But not daunted soul among the four hundred and sev- enty Americans in the Lost Battalion.
 Commanding the little group was Major Charles W. Whittlesey. To the offer of safety if they surrendered Whittlesey replied without moments hesitation: "Tell them to go to hell"

Stabilizing Organization En-
poets to Relieve Uncertainty
and Revive Business.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.-The new Gov
ornment price stabllIzatlon organization
being created at the Instance of Score
tary of Commerce Redheld is to be known
az the industrial board of the Depart
ment OF Commerce. 1t will be charged
with sterilization OF prices for basic
commodities and the fixing OF Govern
nent fair price" expected to bring into
place the large latent buying power OF
the country.
Secretary Redfeld believes that only
in This way can threatened stagnation be
avoided and factories brought into full
production.
The whole situation. the Secretary
believes, is a matter of prices. Prices
have not come down appreciably and the
law of supply and demand Is not yet
back on the job. in his opinion. He is
proceeding on the theory that while there
is plenty of goods and money there is
no demand because the entire business
world Is uncertain about prices and
there lis a general feeling that prices are
too high and are about TO come down.
No merchant or factory buyer wants
to stock up on down market Secre-
tary Redfeld believes that II prices can
on a basis that the Government will APP
prove as fair. that business will rapidly
pick up and resume normal when the
rainbow of coming lower prices fades.
The full personnel Of the industrial
board will be ave. iced as soQl.aI ac-
ceptances have been received II will
be headed by George ~ Peek. former
vice-chairman OF the War Industries
Board. Hugh Frayne. labor representa-
tive on the War Industries Board. will
be on the new board. and Thomas c.
Powell. director of capital expenditures
Of the Railroad Administration, will be
the Government representative.
Fair prices arrived at by the new or
ganization will be published. They will
be found through cooperation OF produ-
GERS. labor and the Government
In announcing execution OF the Red
field programme the Council OF National
Defence states:
THE immediate need for carrying out
Secretary Redhelds programme is evil
dent, for there exists an abnormal situa-
ton in the Industrial world--a stagna-
ton of business and Industrial activity.
Mills and factories are idle or are pro-
ducing but a small part Of what they
are capable OF doing and building
operations are at standstill
zone OF the striking features of tho
present situation is the high price de-
marded for practically all articles and
commodities OF trade and commerce
This high price condition Is undoubtedly
the cause of most Of the business mac
tivity and therefore also Is the cause OF
the widespread unemployment of labor.
while living costs OF the present are
unusually high and will continue high
until there are substantial reductions In
fhe cott On the necessary staple food
stuffs, II is believed that there Is salts
factory latent buying power IN the coun
try-an abundance OF money--but money
that is not being used to employ or to
purchase goods and materials"

TAFT APPEALS FOR

Ex-President and Others Call

From People.
TWO DANGERS THREATEN
Bolshevism or Return Of Au-

Alternatives.

BITTER CREEK, Wyo., Feb. 23.-Appeal
to the people of the United States to
express their opinions on the proposed
League Of Nations $50 clear and strong
that our representatives in Congress may
know that the people of the United
States are determined to assume their
part in this crisis of human history"
was made In a statement issued here to-
night to the Associated Press by Will
lam Howard Taft and other members OF
the party touring the country in the
interest of the proposed league.
Asserting that the alternative to a
League of Nations is "the heavy burden
and the constant temptation of universal
armament and that without a league a
new war of even greater dimensions Is
threatened. the statement points to the
dlsorganized state Of Europe and possi-
bilities of German autocracy again get
ting the upper hand.
Between Two Fires.
The statement was signed by Mr.. Taft,
Henry Morgenthau. a. Lawrence Lowell
and Henry van Dyke. II bears the cap
ton. IAN appeal to our fellow citizens
and Is as follows:
"The war against military autocracy
has been won because the great free ma
tons acted together and It's results will
be secured only II they continue to act
together. The forces making for auto
cratic rule on the one hand and for vio-
lence OF Bolshevism on the other. are
In thn
State Of Prussia so organized Central
Europe as TO defy the world. In the
present disorganized state Of central and
eastern Europe that can be done gain

the destruction and debt in another
world war would turn civilization back
ward for generations. In such war
We shall certainly be involved and Cur
best young men will be sacrificed as the
French and English have been sacrificed
In the last four years.
Such n catastrophe can be prevented
only by reconstruction of the small
states now seeking self government on
the basis OF freedom and ] stice, but
this Is impossible without Ieague, for

avoid the risk and must assume the re-
sponsibilities OF It's position. II cannot
stand aloof, but must face bodily the
facts of the day with confidence in itself

or unlawful charges be placed who'll

the commission be extended to hold

which actually operate interstate
transportation lines, and that rail-
road operating rules be standar rdized.
The commission reports again that
In many cases it's work has been oh.
structed because necessary records
and data could only be obtained
from holding companies.
FROM its Investigations of train ac-
c1dents the commissions investio,-
tors concluded that the failure of
engineers to obey signals and failure
