.PERSH|NC DEFENDS
ORDER TO CRUSH
SPIRIT OF HUN
Foch Also Ordered Troops
to Fire on Enemy Until
Last Minute.

Washington, May 23.--General
Pershing has informed General March
chief of staff, that orders issued from
American headquarters in France,
that firing was to be continued to
IL m. November 18th. 1918, along
sections held by American troops,
were based upon good military rea-
sons. The commander in chiefs re-
port, made public today at the war
department, was in reply to an in
quiry from General@March prompted
by criticisms in congress and else
where that orders caused an unnec-
essary sacrifice of American lives.
These ORDERS" General Pershing
said, "were dictated by the necessity
of taking every opportunity to rem
der certain complete acceptance bv
the enemv of, the armistice and were
undoubtedly concurred in bv the
allied commander in chief, General
Foch, who himself issued orders to
the same effect"
The report said that with the ex-
ception of one small unit, which fail
ed to receive instructions until 11:10
a. m. all firing ceased exactly at the
minute of the armistice and that no
American soldiers were, subsequently,
killed in action. If British or French
officers ordered CESSATION of firing
on their fronts before liza. M, Cen
eral Pershing said, they did so with
out proper authority. 4.3
A copy of General Pershing's re-
port has been forwarded to Senator
Chamberlain, who, as chairman of
the senate military affairs, commit
tee, had called the departments at
tention to the wide criticism of the
orders.

of the steel company in recent years,
in support OF his contention that the
rail prices quoted were unreasonable.
"It is important to remember" said
Mr.. Rines in conclusion, shat the
present policy of the steel interests
in adhering to high prices on the
ground that present costs necessitate
them is a policy that does not work
both ways It is policy to- keep
prices from going lower as business
increases and costs qdiminish.'
Washington, May 23.-Orders+ for
100000 tons of open hearth rails have
been placed by the railroad admins
tration with six steel companies
which in response for request for
bids, quoted uniformly a price based
ON the agreement between the steel
interests and the recently dissolved
industrial board of the department Of
commerce.
Director General Hines, whose re
fusal to abide by the agreement. was
an influential factor in the dissolution
of the industrial board, in announcing
the orders tonight said they were
placed "'under protest" and with the
emphatic disapproval of the prices
and the manner in. which they were
established" t...
The price submitted by all of the
bidders was announced by Director
General Hines as SAT a ton, which is
the exact price agreed upon for such
rails by the steel manufacturers, and
the industrial board. The companies
submit bids were Carnegie Steel
company, Illinois Steel company,
Tennessee Coal and Iron company,
Colorado Fuel and Iron company,
Bethlehem Steel company, and Lack
awanna Steel company.

calendar year, as was proposed by the
industrial board. and thereby giving
an official sanction to prices which
were unreasonably high and which
would merely serve as d, starting point
for still higher prices later on.
Result Expected.
1.-The result has been in exact ac-
cordance with this forecast. Six of the
leading steel interests, in response to
the railroad administration request
for bids for steel rails, have submit
ted bids which are uniform in all re-
spects as to price and conditions of
manufacture and are in strict ac-
cordance with the prizes proposed to
and approved by the industrial board,
In view of the immediate need for
100000 tons of steel rails, orders have
been plaed at the prices submitted
but with emphatic disapproval of the
prices and the manner in which they
have been established.
THAT action of these six steel COM
panies in making uniform bids was
taken under the leadership of the
United States Steel corporation is
clear from the fact that Immediately
after the prices fixed by the industrial
board. Judge Gary, for the steel cor
poration, took the initiative in an
nouncing publicly that the steel cor
poration was strictly maintaining the
prices approved by the industrial
board and that it seemed to him that
would be the attitude of other manu-
facturers.

Alternate grazing as relief for con
tinuous grazing has long been recon-
mendcd by experts, but little practiced
by farmers. II involves the division q,
pastures so that each portion Of the
field may be given alternate periods OF
rest during the grazing season. Grass
makes u maximum yield If allowed
definite periods of uninterrupted
growth. However the extra expaises
for fences and labor deter many farm
ers from following this system which.
