how large its surplus would be.
Mr.. Hare asserted that In his judgment
nearly all the food remaining unsold inl
the possession of the war department was
good and that such deterioration or such
falling below standard as had been dis
covered was only what might be found in
such an enormous quantity of food at
any time. He said, however, that the
food ought to be sold within a few
months.
Arrangements have been made where
by any community may purchase food
from the war department, taking it in
carload lots and paying for it at the
end of 10 days from the proceeds of the
sales Less than a carload was sold in
Baltimore last week because that was

practice is not encouraged. Bacon which
cost the government 40 cents was sold for
a fraction over 2S cents. This Mr. Hare
considered a good price, although efforts
are being made to realize so per cent on
most sales.
Mr.. Reavis called attention to the
agreement made by the quartermaster's
department to hold off the sale of canned
goods to accommodate the Gamers, which,
Mr.. Hare said, had been Cancelled. Mr.
Reavs also read letter written by
| Colonel Davis of the quartermaster' de-
partment last March assuring the can
ners that he was acting along the lines
suggested by them and had recommended
| that certain vegetables be added to the
soldiers rations- mot for the sake of

WASHINGTON, July 10.-A special

Sought yesterday to learn from c. w.
Hare, director of sales of the United
States war department, why millions of
dollars worth of food should have re-

the armistice was signed when there was
such a demand for food in the country
and when the government needed the
money.
Mr. Hare said he did not know The
only reason why he had not sold surplus
supplies sooner was because no surplus
had been declared and he had to wait on
such declaration He insisted that he
had sought the opportunity of disposina
of such supplies especially as We're sub
ject to deterioration, but that there were
so many obstacles and so much detail
that it was impossible to get action. In
