MICHIGAN CHAPLAIN RETURNS
Father DUNCAN, Ex.Mayor Of laPeer,
Decorated For Bravery.

New York, n Y.-After long ser
vice in the 126th infantry of the
Thirty-second division and as senior
chaplain in the army of occupation,
Major (Chaplain) Patrick r. DUNCAN
formerly mayor OF Lapeer and one Of
the most popular officers that went
out OF Michigan, is back home.
Father DUNCAN is Michigan Ma.
tional Guard chaplain Of IA years
standing. In the old Thirty.second
Michigan infantry, and later in the
126th infantry. he was the idol OF
doughboys. In France he won their
high respect in the early action when
he followed them into battle and ad-
ministered to their wants.
The chaplain wears the French
croix de guerre with star, which b
says was awarded at Juvigny because
he was too old and too fat to get out
OF the way of the German fire."
Fact of the matter is, according L.
army records. he scorned the danger
OF n shell-swept field and stuck with
the wounded men, helping them 20
places of safety and. administering
first aid while shells burst all around
him.

that President Wilson's compromise
offer in response to their demand for

WHOLESALE MEAT PRICE LOWER
Witnesses Testify Price Has Been Cut
But Retailer Absorbs Profit

Lansing.-Evidence that the reduc-
ton Of wholesale prices is not re-
fected in the retail market has been
brought out in the food cost hearing
before Judge West here.
II evidence is accepted at its face
value retailers have maintained their
high prices irrespective OF the fact
that they have been able at frequent
periods to buy at substantial reduc-
tons in the wholesale market.
Harry A. Timmins, secretary OF
Morris & Co., one OF the big Five"
testified that although the wholesale
price OF dressed beef of n certain
grade in May was 81 cents a pound, 1t
had varied so that for three and
half months previous it had averaged
only II 1-2 cents a pound and on Au-
gust it was actually down to IA IL
cents.
Another witness, II. r. Chapman,
district manager OF Armour & Co.,
quoted wholesale prices showing varia
tons at different periods running from
20 IL cents to 10 IL cents.
None OF these reductions have been
reflected however in the prices
changed by retail meat dealers.
