Congressman Clyde Kelly. Of Penn

View Citizens Association last night
IN the Park View School And wash
iuEton, as well as the whole country,
should examine the methods used By
the community for distributing its
food, he said, 20 ind the true answer
high cost OF living.
The Congressman cited statistics
showing the actual amount OF food
produced in the United States during
the past year. and showed tire cost
OF food did not come from the de-
crease in the United States produc-
tion Of food. NAlthOugh there are
hundreds Of plans underway in every
part Of the country to solve the
problem OF lowering the cost OF food,
none Of them. he said, are touching
the real root Of the trouble-the dis
tribUtion. The use OF the United
States postal service and the school
houses aB means OF distributing the
food to the consumer Is the practical
method Of lowering the cost OF living.
Praised Community.
Mr.. Kelly praised the work OF the
Park View community, and pointed
toward IL as an example which every
other organization In the country
should follow.
The Citizens Association last night
set a precedent in electing the prin-
cipal Of the community school to the
post OF community secretary. Miss

office, the occupant OF which will
have charge OF the community work

AMERONGEN. June 10 (by the AS

formerly chief of the civil cabinet of
William Hohenzollern, dined last

has been cut into one-inch discs, many
of which have been distributed among
Herr Hohenzollern's attendants and
advisers. The tree was six inches in
diameter and each disc was marked
by the sawyer with his initial and the

After the saving was finished just
before luncheon the former en-

Krieg of the German foreign office
and Herr Won Esebeck were observed
in animated conversation in the
grounds of the castle. but nothing
could be CLEANED as to the subject of
conversation.
Dutch gendarmes guarded the estate
in stronger force than usual, possibly
owing to the recent visits of parties
of American soldiers and sailors from
Rotterdam, whose arrival seems to
have created some nervousness.

VIEWS ANARCH|ST!C

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. June 21.-
J. S. Reeves, professor of political
economy at the University of Michi-
gan. was called to the witness stand
yesterday in the Ford Tribune libel suit
to testify to the beliefs of anarchists.
He was shown an article by Edward
Marshall, which was largely quota
tions from Mr.. Ford. and asked if they
were similar to those held by any
well known anarchists.
Prof. Reeves quoted from Mr.. Ford
the following as constituting an anar-
chistic view: The trouble is we are
talking of this country. this state.
this city. this factory, as If il mat
tered" Witness named half a dozen
anarchists" as he called them, in

COUNCIL CONFIRMS
| FOCH'S ADVANCE PLANS
Little Delay by Allied Armies if
Germans Refuse to Sign
Treaty.

PARIS. June 20 (by the Associated
Press).-The supreme council con-
firmed today the plans made by the
military authorities for a resumption
of the advance into Germany in the
event of the failure of the Germans
to sign the peace treaty within the
allotted time.
Marshal Foch. Maj Gen. Bliss. Gen.
Robertson of the British army, and
other military chiefs were before the
council this afternoon and explained
the details of the allied plans. The
reports of the fall of the Scheide-
mann government had not reached
the council when these plans were
discussed.
1t is not expected that the order for
the allied armies to advance will be
given exactly at the time of the ex-
piration of the time limit of the allies.
but it was indicated today that there
would be little delay, if any. in the
maneuverS.
Baron Sonnino was not present al
the meeting of the council, but the
fact that Gen. Cavellero was calied
in was regarded as indicating that the
allies still regard 1taly's position as
| not materially changed by the over
throw of the Orlando government

Other sentiments attributed in the

should be embroidered across the
breast of every soldier"
Two classes benefit by war. the

Patriotism is the last refuge OF

kissing and booing of several thou
sand socialists and radicals, who had
gathered in Madison Square Garden
to hear speech by L. c. A. K. Mar
tens, head of the Russian soviet bu-
reau, detectives tonight forced their
way into the center of the crowd and
arrested man and a woman. The
ostensible reason for the arrest was
that the woman had been waving a

fered with the officers who had ar
rested her. The building was sur
rounded by 100 detectives.
In addition to Martens, the speak
ers at the meeting included Mrs. Rose

Ruthenburg of Cleveland and James
Larken of Ireland.

for believing was a correct copy OF

Mr.. Polk was quoted as asking Sec

American secretary of state, today re-
cefved from Hugh S. Gibson, United
States minister to Poland, the follow
ing instructions issued by Gen. Halter
commander of the Polish army, or
dering the army to refrain from the
persecution Of civilians:
Soldiers: l have been told by the
Jewish population of this country that
they have been treated by Polish SOL

neither with the honor nor the great
ness OF the Polish army; that they
nave been beaten abused and injured
that their property is being destroyed.
Such demeanor is unworthy of Pol

holy cause. All those guilty of per-
scouting any portion of the population
shall be severely punished and court
martialed by my orders.
THE Polish soldier is bound to dis
tinguish himself with his good be-

Second Great Step Now On.

Cooperation in the work of a small
band of forty or fifty reclassification
experts to be sent out by the commits
sion was asked by Secretary Heating.
The joint commission is now engaged
on the second great step in the work
before it, the Redistribution of posi-
lions themselves. The questionable
work was the first step. For the time
being all thought of salaries is left
out Of consideration. it was explained.
Fixing salary schedules will constitute
the third step.
The fifty Investigators will be
drawn from the various departments
and from the moment they join the
staff Of the commission they will alb
solutely cease to be connected with
their former working places. These
men and women will investigate per-
sonally the 10000 cases it ks estimated
will arise in which investigation will
be necessary to ascertain the exact
work they perform.
Redistribution of positions. the work
on which the commission is. now en-
gagged, will result in more than 1900
well defined classes. and the divisions
will be practical as we'll as scientific. it
was explained. When the division Of
classes has been made, and not until
then, will the work of fixing salary
schedules be attempted.

ules as thoroughly as we are attempt
ing to do the Redistribution of posi-
TONS" Secretary Heating declared. He
said the commission hopes to have a
report SO fair that the employees and
Congress will unite in approving it's
recommendations.
Semi-monthly reports of changes in
the departments will be another job
for the supervisory heads of the
thirty-four departments and indie
pendent bureaus. with the District of
Columbia government counted as one
bureau. Position lists will be kept
strictly up-to-date. SO that when the
commission reports to Congress next
January IFS report will be as. near to
the minute as it Is humanity possible
for it to be made.
ChaYting of the positions in the va
rious bureaus, according to- the vari-
Gus jobs, the exact sort of work per-
formed. will be another work of the
commission during the next few
weeks. The reclassificationists are
well ahead of schedule now.
This will be the first and last
classification. because it will be cur
rent and up-to-date." said Mr.. Cooper,
explaining the magnitude Of the work
before the commission. And we will
report such a system as will enable
Congress to keep it up-to-date."
