PERSf1ING MAKING LAST TOUR
 GERMAN OCCUPIED TERRITORY

Paris, July 31.-(By The A. P.) Prior to his departure for Coblenz to- his 'valedictory" tour of German oc- cupied terriS.<y, first visiting the American troops and then the Trench and British zones. General Pershing, the American commander in chief, this afternoon received the American newspaper correspondents in his Paris home.
 General Pershing talked with the correspondents on various subjects the American dead buried in France, against the removal of which he said he would advise; the preparations that are being made for the American troops to leave Fra-S. and concern ing the release of the AS, 900 German prisoners held by tss American army.
 After his reception of the corres- pondeLts, General Pershing reviewed the famous American composite bat talion which represented the Ameri can eXpeditionary force in Paris in the Bastile Day parade and in London at the Victory Day celebration.
 In declaring that he did not favor the removal of the American dead said he was arranging for a confer ence with American artists with view to making plans for the beautif- cation of permanent cemeteries and the erection of monuments to the American soldiers. The commander in chief spoke with some emphasis, saying he felt that as the men had fought and died in France they should lie in France He said he believed the French felt the same as he did and that the presence of the American dead in their scA would always be reminder of how the two nations had fought together. He addei that each year there would be official represen- tation at Memorial Day celebrations.
 General Pershing said the task of assembling the American dead in na- tional cemeteries was progressing raS pidly and satisfactorily, notwithstand- ing the difficulties encountered.
 With regard to preparations for leaving France, General Pershing said the service of supply was rapidly cleaning up everywhere. and could be ready on ten days notice to turn ev- erything over to the French. Of the American forces remaining in France, General Pershing said about 325 off, cerS, largely reserves. were on duty with the Hoover commission, engaged in relief work. Most of these officers would remain in civilian capacities when demo bilized.
 It was his opinion. General Pershing declared, that the 48.000 German pris- oners held by the American army. man peace treaty is ratified by three of the great powers. He did not be- lieve it would be necessary to await ratification of the treaty by the Unit ed States senate.

RACE RIOTING IN
 CHICAGO LESS VIOLENT

Chicago, July 31-Race war terror and bloodshed had abated tonight at- ter %Sur days and nights of rioting, but violence continued to occur spor- adically, notwithstanding a force of $500 state troops and thousands of policemen >re on active duty in tho South Side negro quarters.
 Three negroes died today of bullet wounds, making the official corrected death list S2. of whom eighteen were negroes. Only one of the three was shot today, though a dozen or more members of both races were wounded in the scattered disturbances. most of of them of a minor character. In the downtown district tonight crowd of white men attacked and severely beat a negro who was on his way home from work. The police rescued the negro, and he was sent home in a pa- trol wagon. There was no shooting by troops who were ordered on the streets last night by Governor Low den on the request of Mayor Thomp- son.
 The negro area was comparatively quiet tonight. The presence of the troops apparently had calmed the ne- groes' fears, and had had a salutary effect on disturing elements among both whites and blacks. The troops were well distributed and the military machinery was running smoothly.
 Food supplies were rushed into the negro sections by cooperation Of the  lice and the troops. The black belt remained a barred zone where whites might not enter and even the guarded trucks of groceries were driven only to the dead line" by white chauffeurs who then were relieved by negro driv- CTS under police escort.
 Many of the poorer negroes were re- ported in dire. need of food and with out funds. Today was pay day at the stock yards but negroes feared to go there to draw their wages. Thous- ands of negroes have not attempted to go to work all week.
 Among today's disorders. only two involved any considerable number Of persons. Several hundred whites in search of four negroes who had hidden in the stock yards were driven off by militiamen with lowered bayonets af- ter the whites had demanded that the blacks be delivered to them. No cas- ualties resulted.
 About 400 white men beat one of three negroes severely at Forty-sev- enth street and Vincennes avenue this afternoon. The other two. both arm ed, escaped after firing a few shots. No whites were wounded.

In response to questions, MT. Palmer admitted that there was no law by which prices could be lowered direct ly, but he declined to say whether new legislation was needed to enable the department to punish men who may be guilty of profiteering.
 There is a great 'ieal of good law on the statute books the attorney general declared.
 When a course of action is decided understood to be ready to supply the most extensive collection of industrial information ever gathered by any government. Production cost figures have been obtained by the commission on industries representing $30, 1000, ,000,- 900 worth of capital. as the result of its activities during the war in advis- ing the government what prices to pay for the millions of dollars of purchases made by it. For this req son, it is believed the commission is ready to urge that further investiga- tions. which seem to be foreshadowed by resolutions pending in congress. would only muddle the situation. causing the loss of valuable time and the waste of the money involved.
 Ire commissions investigations during the war. all of which deal only tion derived from the books of com panies involved. are said to have shown that profteering was at minimum in the retail trades, most of the exorbitant profits which are be- ing made going to the manufacturers and wholesalers. As a remedy. the commission generally is understood to favor q licensing system for corpora tions doing an interstate business. the system to be applied first in those cases where the mulcting of the pulp lie has been most fragrant.

If lmanufa cturers and generally follow the dic- tates of common sense, but all pur chases far in advance of actual needs, or buying in quantities in excess of those needed for seasonable goods must stop"
