The HIGH PRICE OF FLOUR
Is SEVERELY CRITICISED
Congressman Fitzgerald Thinks 1t Is
Time to Get Rid of So-CalIed Ex-
perts in Charge of Food.

BOSTON, Mass.-"It seems to me
the time Is ripe to get rid of the So
called experts in control of the food
products and turn the task over to
some one who is in a position to
know what extortionate food prices
mean to the average family" said
Congressman John F. Fitzgerald, of
Boston, in a telegram sent to the
United States secretary of agricul-
ture.
Newspapers today report the pros
poets of 1,0OO,OOO.00O bushels of
wheat, or 45O,0O0,000 bushels above
our needs. The average export some
years before the war was 100,000,000
bushels, while the biggest export in
any one year during the war was
100000 bushels, some Of which
went to the bottom of the ocean. The
Chicago Trade Bulletin reported on
April /, 100000 bushels of wheat
on hand in this country.
Notwithstanding this wonderful
wheat situation -four increased on
Tuesday 25 cents a barrel, making
the best flour cost $1525 a barrel,
and 1892 a bag. People do not I'M
derstand how, with storehouses bulg-
ing with foodstuffs of all kinds, prices
are soaring until the average family
cannot buy reasonable necessities. ="

and persons to collect in front of

the sleeping man, the official feared,
meant certain death from fall to

station, and Sergeant Kelleher and
a patrolman responded.
The window being guarded by iron
bars, the policemen found it impossi-
BILE to drag O'Connor into the room.
Sergeant Kelleher went to a window
on floor below and took hold of
O'Connor's feet while the patrolman
and superintendent worked at remov-
ing the barred window easement.
They succeeded in getting this out,
and all three, with a combined eff
fort, pulled O'Connor into the room.

Won War in Two Hours

The battle of Cbateau-Thierry was
at its height. The Germans were
pouring in such a hurricane of shot and
shell, liquid fire and poison gas that
the French Polius, staunch veterans
though they were, had begun to give
away before that storm of destruction
and the never ending hordes of on
rushing Huns.
Already the French commander was
preparing for a hurried retreat. Al
ready he had ordered his hospital,
with its hundreds of wounded, moved
to the ear The onlook was dark in
deed-the road to Paris and the heart
of France seemed open to the invader,
when suddenly from ove the hill be-
hind the French lines came the sound
of martial music-of thousands of
fresh young voices singing-Singlng
cheerily, confidently, eXultantly:
The Yanks are coming,
The Yanks are coming,
The Yanks are coming over there.
And thru the mist and battle smoke
broke the long lines of Americans,
their flags to the fore, their guns at
the charge, their %bayonets fixed, ev-
cry mar singing, eXultant at the
chance to get at the foe.
They went at the Germans like so
many wildcats; they killed them
with rife butt. with bayonet or with
they charged right into the face
Of machine guns-tore them apart
and choked the gunners to death with
their bare hands.
In two short, glorious hours the
war wa Won. In two hours
that will rank in history above Water
loo or Gettysburg, the Germans woke
TO the fact that they had not a
ehanca-that they We're fighting
against something too big for them to
