PRICES FALL IN CHICAGO.
Combined Efforts Against Profiteer-
 ino Show Results. --s.'

Chicago, Aug 13.-Concerted at tacks by Federal, State and municipal officials on the high cost of living re- suited yesterday in lower prices Of many articles of produce to Chicago consumers It was the first definite benefit from the attacks on food profteers and hoarders. With the decrease in wholesale and retail prices there came a substantial in crease in receipts of various articles of food. It was said that producers were rushing shipments to the Chi cago market in fear of further re- ductiOn of prices in the near future and large quantities of supplies were being taken out of cold storage ware houses and offered for sale.
 Yesterday the first sale of army canned goods at two downtown apart ment stores resulted in the disposal of 60,0O0 cans of corn and peas at a saving of 80 per cent. over the cur rent retail price. To meet this com- petition there was a general reduc- ton of prices by retailers.
 The prevailing retail price for sugar was 2 and 3 cents a pound in a majority of stores after the Federal food administration officials had de- clared that 12 cents was a fair price. A few days ago sugar sold as high as 16 cents a pound. Potatoes today dropped $1 per 1OG pounds in retail price and there was a corresponding reduction in nearly all vegetables and fruits.
 The price of peaches tumbled after the receipt of eighty cars from South ern Illinois, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and California.

PREDICTS CHEAPER SHOES.
But Prices Won't Drop For Year
 Say Makers.

Boston, Aug, 13.-Predictions of a decided drop in the price Of shoes were made yesterday by leather dealers and shoe manufacturers who testified today at the Grand Jury in vestigation of the high cost of living conducted by District Attorney Pel- latter The consensus of opinion, however, was that the decline might not come for another year.5
 Witnesses said that the people de- manded a high grade of shoes ana were willing to pay for them. One leather firm, it was testified, and mil lions of dollars worth of cheaper grades of sole leather on hand which manufa cturers would not buy because it did not come up to the standard demanded by purchasers of shoes
 The district attorneys office said one man called as a witness, repre- senting a large leather house, declined to testify on the ground that his evi- dence might tend to intriminate him.
 Manufacturers, wholesalers and re- tailers questioned all asserted, it was said, that the margin of profit on high grade shoes was no greater today than that received when shoes were selling at @ much lower price.

 ten Letter to Germans.

Jong' Van Beck en Donk, secretary of the Dutch Anti-NIilitariSt League m which he informed her that Mrs. As quith had asked him to put the direct question to the German chancellor, saying that a "good answer would be of tremendous inlportar ce.'
 The letter to Frau Perlen said it was thought that MT. Asquith was ready for an understanding if the Reichstag should demonstrate it ruled the situation and really possessed power in Gerfany. Thi point, it was said would be carried if the majority of the Reichstag should succeed in brin ging out an unique local state ment regarding Belgium. The letter begged her to do her utmost to ln- duce the Reichstag to issue such a statement
 Van Beck said that the declaration of pr. Georg Michaelis. then German imperial chancellor, relative to safe guirding boundaries had, as he con ceived it. created an unfavorable inn pression abrod, and declared that he wantel to establish whether the Reichstag would not make clear the German stand regarding Belgium. Frau Perlen states that she took the letter to members of the Reichstag, who promised to present the matter lefo,-a committees but sht adds:
 "The leading men of the Relchstag parties were so weak against the gov ernment military dictatorship they were guilty of collapse
