Probe Brutality to Soldiers.

New York.-Scores of instances of
brutal treatment of American soldiers
in the prison camps of France, de-
scribed in some cases as amounting to
a system of torture, responsibility for
which was placed by the witnesses on
high. army officers were related before
the congressional subcommittee which
is investigating the disciplinary sys-
tens, of the A e. r.
The committee consisted of Repre-
sentative Royal G. Johnson of South
Dakota and Representative Oscar E..
Bland of Indiana.
The lien higher up who We're Ill
rectly charged by witnesses with re-
sponsibility for the prison conditions
included Brig. Gen. w. w. Harris,
former commander of the American
troops in the Paris district; Major
Gen. Frederick Smith Strong, of the
10th division; Col. Edgar Grinstead,
commander of the 15Sth infantry, and
Col. j. S. Maui, of the field artillery.
A number of captains and lieuten-
ants also were named as having taken
an actual part in the brutal treatment
of the prisoners.

No Second Sessions.

Lincoln.-Governor McKelvie APP
peared before the special session of
the legislature and in a communica-
ton read to the house refused to call
a special session of the body to pass
legislation to combat profiteering as
requested in resolutions introduced.
The communication was lengthy and
detailed his reasons for opposing the
special session. He called the atten-
ton of the members to two bills in
troduced at the last regular session
which had they become laws would
have provided means to prevent
profiteering.
The code bill against which a ref
erendum was fled he said contained
these provisions, as did Senate File
245, providing for the establishment
of state trade commission.
He called attention to the fact that
every democratic representative, with
the exception Of one, who was absent,
voted against the trade commission
bill and 33 republicans joined them in
defeating the measure. He called at
tention to the fact that he had per-
sonally urged them to pass the bill,
and they had taken no notice of his
request.

Move to Buy Collectively.

London.-Steps toward international
collective purchasing of foodstuffs to
check profiteering and speculation
which are declared to be rife in all
countries, have been taken by the SUI
preme economic council. The return
to the system in vogue during the war
was proposed by the British, French
and Italian representatives. The pro-
posal was referred to committee
which will coordinate the plan and
present it to the American government
with an invitation for it's cooperation.
The members of the council stated
they recognize that profteering and
speculation had been going on gener-
ally for some time, but the activities
toward unwarranted price raising dur
ing the past thirty days are consider
ed alarming. This was due, the mem
bers believed, to sharp fall in the
harvest prospects in the past month.
1t was pointed out there was no rea-
son to believe there was not sufficient
food to last throughout 1920 and there
was no reason for the undue advance
Of prices.

Chicago, nl.-After whites and
blacks of the south side had engaged
in series of bloody battles for four
nights in which it is officially an
nounced that thirty-two persons were
killed, fourteen whites, eighteen ne
groes, and several hundred were in
jured, a number of whom will die,

Back of the Immediate cause of the
rioting is the resentment the whites
long had felt at the rapid influx of
negroes, who have spread over a large
territory formerly constituting a fine
residential quarter of the South Side.
Property had decreased in value and
whites had emigrated to other parts
of the city by thousands, but many
others had chung to their homes while

RAIL CRISIS LOOMS
WILSON REQUESTS CONGRESS TO
REMAIN IN SESSION..
BIG WAGE INCREASE SOUGHT
Men Declare They Will Quit Work
October I Unless Demands Are
Met BY Government.

Washington.-A new labor crisis.
growing out of the high cost of living,
is facing the railroad administration.
So pressing are the demands of the
railroad employees for more pay to,
maintain their standard of living that
President Wilson, following extended
conference with Director General
Hines asked the house of representa-
tives to abandon proposed recess of
five weeks and remain in Washing
ton to consider the creation of 8
commission which would determine all
questions concerning the wages OF
railway workers.
The house voted to comply with the
presidents request, which previously
had been Endorsed by the republican
executive steering committee.
New Step Taken,
The president took new step In
railroad legislation in stating to con-
gress that the act to create the COM
mission should make the decisions
Of that body mandatory upon the
rate-making body and provide when
necessary increased rates to cover
any recommendation for increases in
wages, and therefore in the cost of
operating the railroads"
This was the first time that con-
gress ever was asked by the chief
executive to order the interstate COM
merce commission to advance rates.
Big Wage Raise Demanded.
In the face of growing deficit, the
railroad administration now has be-
fore it demands for increased wages
which would mean an addition of be-
tween $SOOOOO,OOO and 100000
to the pay rolls.
All of the demands are backed by
statistics, with the purpose of show
ing. that steadily mounting prices for
all things which man eats or wears
have wiped out all previous advances,
/ leaving the employees perhaps worse
off financially than they were before
New wage demands before Director
General Hines, upon which hearings
have been held, total $500, OO0,O 900, and
include $21, 100000 asked by the shop
men, who have announced that they
would strike October If no relief was
i afforded by that time. Some of the
demands would advance wages 100
per cent over the pre-war level.

Britain Faces Critical Situation.

London-The general industrial I'M
rest in Great Britain, which has been
seething ever since the armistice,
seems to have reached point which
menaces the commerce of the country
with at least a temporary disaster.
1t is considered possible that it may
mean the downfall Of the Lloyd
George government.
The strikes of the past month have
been serious enough, but they are
merely symptoms Of an epidemic Of
dissatisfaction which appears to pre-
vail throughout the ranks of organized
labor. Half million Lancashire
cotton operatives were idle for more
than three weeks Two hundred
thousand Yorkshire miners have been
on strike since July 20. The Liver
pool lockers have paralXzed shipping
there for two weeks, holding up hun
dreds of ships of all sizes. On top
Of all of this is the threat of direct
action by the triple alliance of rail
way men, miners and transport work

HUGE war STORES ON SALE
Surplus Stocks Offered Consumers
Through Postmasters Of Nation
Acting as Agents for U. s.

Notwithstanding the postlnas-
tiers of the country, the war depart
ment has offered direct to consumers
its present available supply of surplus
foodstuffs, amounting to approximate
sly 341,O00,00O pounds. This surplus,
consisting of canned vegetables and
meats, is expected to be sold within a
short time at prices representing the
cost to the government plus postage.
Arrangements for the sale of the
foodstuffs, directed by a resolution,
passed by the lower house of congress,
were made at conference held by
Secretary Baker with postoffice de-
partment officials.
Secretary Baker said price list
covering the entire available surplus
would be prepared at once. This list
would be sent out to each of the 3D.
600 postmasters of the country and to
every rural route carrier.
The postmasters and carriers will
act as government statesmen, inform
ing interested consumers Of the prices
and methods of sale and taking orders
for the foodstuffs.
Payment must be made by buyers
at the time the orders are given the
postnasters.
The foodstnffs will be distributed by
parcel posi- end the prices to be quoted
at each postofice will represent the
original cost of the foodstuffs to the
government and the parcel post trans
portation charges from the nearest
war depot having the foodstuffs in
storage The price quoted, officials
said, would be considerably below the
prevailing market prices.
The value of the surplus available
July s, is approximately as follows:
Canned vegetables, 500, 100000; corn
ed beef, $24,OOO,O0O; bacon, s23,000,-
600; hashed corned beef S10,O00,O00 F;
roast beef, S2O,OO0,OOO and fresh frozen
meats and poultry, $20,O00,000.

LADY BEATTY's RICHES COSTLY
An income Of 100000 year is

An income of 100000 year is
supposed to insure one from fear of
the wolf at the door. But not If one
lives in England and owns property
in the United States. Here is what
happens in the case Of Lady Ethel
Beatty, wife of Admiral Sir David
Beatty of the british navy, and daugh-
ter Of the late Marshall Field.
The British government takes 80
per cent of her income on the ground
that she is a British subject, being
married to Briton. And the United
States government takes 60 per cent
because her property is in America.
Her income is known to be between
100000 and 100000 year. because
it is only on incomes of that amount
that 60 per cent is levied.
Say, then, that Lady Beatty draws
100000 year from her property.
The British government takes $780,
600, the American government takes
$4,000, and her income Is $4,000
less than nothing at all. If her income
