Intervention
in Mexico to
Double Army

WASHINGTON, July S1.-The
Mexican situation has caused Con-
gress to revise it's original plans for
the demobilization of the reserve Of
ficer personnel of the army.
New legislation introduced by Con-
eressman Kahn, chairman of the
House Military Affairs Committee,
provides for permanent establish
ment of 10000 commissioned Off
GERS, instead of the 5000 originally
fixed. This bill is inspired by the
prospect of intervention in Mexico
and also the fact that huge loss viii
be caused through scrapping of ma
terial, ETC., by the immediate contrac'
ton of the American military forces
to a skeleton basis.
The bill provides that "the add
tional officers shall be selected, 81
far as practicable, from officers wh'
served during the emergency and ar
applicants for appointment in the
permanent establishment"
The discharge of reserve officer
is being regulated at the present tim
by the Mexican situation. If tn
Kahn emasure can be passed With
the next few weeks the War Depart
ment may be enabled to add to it
permanent establishment many re
serve officers, who already have bee
discharged.

Government Busy
on Plans to Cope
With Living Cost

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Govern-
mental machinery was set in motion
today in response to demands from
the public that some official action
be taken to relieve the high cost of
living.
Prices, as they affect the average
citizen, assumed first place in interest
in the capital. At the White House
President Wilson was said to be CIV
ing "deep and careful consideration
to problems presented to him and the
railroad administration by members
Of the railroad brotherhoods, who rep
resented that prices would have to
come down or wages go up if social
unrest was not to develop into up
heaval. In the senate and the house
the situation gave rise to several res
olutions to investigate the cause of
existing price levels, another to reduce
the volume in circulation as means
of debating prices, one to request the
attorney general to stop speculation
in foods on exchanges, and another
, to sell this years wheat crop at mark
ct prices instead of at the government
guarantee, the difference to be made
up by the government.
Late today Attorney-General Palm
er met eight high government officials
whom he had summoned to his office
for discussion of high costs and
the best methods to pursue to effect
a reduction. After general talk
lasting nearly three hours the con-
ference disbanded to meet again, prob
ably next week, for further counsel
based on additional information to be
collected in the meantime. Those at.
tending the conference included Sec.
retaries Glass, Houston, Redfield anC
Wilson, Director-General Hines, Chair
man Hines, Chairman Murdock, Of
the Federal Trade Commission; AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Lef
fingwell, and w. B. Colver, of thu
Federal Trade Commissions.
Demands Pending.
It developed today that demands TO,
more wages were pending before thu
railroad administration from severa
hundred thousand employees. Perhap
the frankest talk which government
officials have heard in a long tim
came in this connection, in the state
ment Of w. G. Lee, president Of tn
trainmen, before the wage adjustmen
board. Mr.. Lee told the board tha
an increase in wages was not the prop
er solution of the present economi
hardships under which working me
are laboring, because they would b
followed by new increases in the cos
of everything which would more tina
absorb the additional pay. Until a
classes get together to stop "profteel
ing" he said, the only thing for ever
one to do is to get all the wages h
can, a course which, he declared
would result eventually in precipita
ing the "upheaval" now staring tn
country in the face.
As a, step toward breaking the hig
prices, plans are being made by Se'
retary Baker, Postmaster-General Blu
Lesson and Representative Kelly,
Pennsylvania, to sell through the pa
eel post surplus army food stocl
valued at $124,00,000.

Treasury Departments Plan to Award Hand Grenades
 Blocked

The War Department has cancelled its contract to supply the Treasury De pEtment with 15.000.000 hand grenades which were to be converted into saw ings banks to stimulate the sales of War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates. according to telegram received by c. A. Farnswortk, associate director of the War Loan Or ganization in the Twelfth Federal Re- serve District, from Washington. Banks and Trust Companies of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District had ordered nearly 100000 grenades before news of the cancellation was received.
 The telegram to Farnsworth read:
 "As the War Department has deter mined that the distribution of hand grenades as souvenirs should be dis continued, and has cancelled it's ar rangement for supplying grenades to the Treasury Department to be manu. factured into grenade savings banks, the Treasury is unable to continue the distribution of the banks.
 Tn order. however. to recognize the efforts of the children in working and saving during the vacation time, each one who would be entitled to bank will receive a certificate of achieve ment from the Treasury iu apprecia- 'tion of his industry in saving and buy ing government securities"
 The hand grenades were known as Mills bombs No II and were ready for shipment to American forces in France when the armistice was signed. ''I am deeply disappointed as know the peo- pie who looked forward 10 receiving one of these war souvenirs will be" said Mir Farnsworth. However. feel sure that thrifty, patriotic folks who are investing regularly in War Savings Stamps will continue to help the gov ernment."

 Only by increasing production and by rigid economy and saving by the people can we hope for large decreases in the burdensone cost of living which now weighs us down
 Despite the fact that the Department Of Justice is scufrying about investi- gating high prices and throwing profit .eers in jail. the Presidents cure for high prices is the only one.
