The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-08-29

Washington, Aug. 29-Sec- Iretary Baker admitted yester- day that the two American reg iments ordered to Silesia were sent upon the demand of the 1nter-Allied Council.
 Secretary Baker said the Inter-Allied Council had made its request for American troops to Marshal Foch, that General Foch had passed it on to Gen eral Pershing, and that General IPershing forwarded it to the War Department, with the re- quest that it be complied with.
 It appears from Secretary Bakers admission that Ameri- can troops are now being sent to Europe on demand of au- thority outside the United States.
 The Secretary denied that an ef- fort had been made to conceal the movements of the soldiers.
 He said:
 "The fact Is, l had given orders for the preparation of an announce ment of the intention to send the troops, but I was anticipated by one day by the dispatch from abroad"
 1t has been stated by Secretary Baker that tFe men who are going across are all enlisted men and regu- Jars. Their going will permit the immediate return of nearly all the emergency troops and all non-resu- lars in France, it was said.
 ConCealment Scored.
 It was also thought necessary tC send the new brigade over because of the fact that the First Division nc longer will be on the Rhine Be. sides the Fifth and Fiftieth Infantry .regiments. two regular field hospital and one regular ambulance compan, will be included in the Silesian forca
 The brigade first will go to Cob lenz and there await orders to pro ceed to Silesia.
 In repeating his charge that tn War Department had attempted tt keep the nefs of the Silesian exDedl ton from becoming public. and tha he had been told at the War Depart ment that the 'cat had been let ou of the bag" from the other side

WHY HIGH PRICES?
ny DIR FRANK CRANE
tcopy right. 1919. by Frank cranel

Three million men quit producing in the
United States and went 10 consuming and
destroying. II was all very grand and
noble. but the point is they ceased adj
dtion to the goods OF the world and went
to work at subtraction.
Millions in Europe did the same
Farms were trampled down. horses and
oxen killed. factories Quilted. steel that was
intended for spades and building girders was
used for shells. the only end of which was
big noise.
Millions upon millions of dollars worth
of ships and goods were sent TO the bottom
of the sea.
Somebody has to pay for all that.
Who?
Answer: You and me. We're paying for
IT now. At last all the statesmen. legisla-
tors. kings. generals. and officials. pass
the buck. until finally il gets to THE MAN
WHO WORKS, to you and me, who have
to foot the bills. Jones, he pays the
freight"
So. folks. it is not Capital. nor Labor. nor
Trusts, nor Governments, nor deep Eco
nomic Laws. nor Tweedledee, nor Tweedle-
dun, that is the Niger in the woodpile. It's
the fact that whenever there is big Fire
somebody has to stand the loss, and war is
an enormous conflagration.
IT is that whenever you take away any
portion of the worlds supplies, somebody
must make il up.
We are paying for it now and will be
paying for it for the next 20 years
The name Of War. glorious time-honored
splendid. hammered bloody stupid. senseless.
and fascinating-the real name of War is
WASTE,
And High Prices are the penalty.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1919-08-14

Why is everything so high?
Why does everybody who has anything
to sell, either goods or services, tack on
a little or a great deal to the price. in ex-
cess of what they charged some time ago?
All sorts of reasons have been alleged.
Distinguished experts have brought out
laborious and entirely unintelligble ex-
plantations dealing with economic laws.
Some say IL is shortage, OF labor. others
that it is scarcity of materials. while still
others say IL is all matter of transporta-
ton.
The Bolshevik accuses the trusts. capt.
talists, and profiteers. Nice old gentlemen
with side whiskers and settled incomes say
II is all due to unrest among the laborers.
About the Facts there can be no dispute.
Beef is higher butter is higher. milk is
higher, cheese is higher. and the COW is
certainly jumping over the MOON
Vegetables Are higher. ice Is higher,
meals in restaurants are higher. hired girls
are higher. ice is higher. and the dish runs
away with the spoon.
War taxes are added TO movie tickets
ice cream sodas. and automobiles.
The income tax man hews right and left
And States add to the Nations taxes.
There Is one explanation of all this which
have not seen brought forward.
Because it is too plain. 1t is the Obvious
we all overlook.
II is this:
WE ARE PAYING FOR WHAT WE
WASTED IN THE WAR.
War is waste.
II is a grand carnival of destruction
Big guns doomed night and day for sew
eral years, and every shot cost from $500
to $500. That much value was annihilated.
