No coverings of any kind were

clared, although there were many
canvas tarpaulins scattered around
the camp or being used for less i'm

Approximately $500 motorcycles,
after being placed in perfect repair
for use by the A. E. F., were parked
at the same camp and allowed to
stand exposed to the weather for
months until they became useless

DEALERS PLAN
|. A REDUCTION Of
CLOTHING COST
Conference Called for Janu-
airy at the Instance Of
Assistant Attorney
General.

Washington, Dec. lo.-Steps to
check the rising price of clothing
will be discussed at q conference
here early in January of persons in
terested in the production OF wear.
ing apparel, from the producer OF
raw materials to the consumer OF
the finished product.
The calling of the conference was
announced today by Assistant At
torney General Figg, who said that
In addition to effecting economies in
operation, it was planned to provide
for the production of standard
quality cloth and garments at rea-
sonable price as an inducement to
the public to check extravaganza in
purchasing.
Producers Call Meeting.
Suggestions for the conference
came from the producers of wearing
apparel, and a committee of IL is
being chosen, the personnel of
which will be announced after the
Christmas holidays. The amalga-
mated clothing unions will be repre-
scented in the conference.
Mr.. Figg said it was generally
agreed among producers that one
essential for reducing the cost of
clothing was to have manufacturers
devote their plants to necessities,
meaning the type of clothing pur-
chasable by the average man. Some
clothing manufacturers were said TO
believe that mems suits now selling
for SIS retail could be sold at
profit for SIS, if an arrangement
could be worked out between mills,
manufacturers and retailers, where
by a certain percentage of business
could be devoted to goods of stand
ard quality to be turned out in
quantity. ~
There is no intention to design a
uniform" for the public, Mr.. Figg
said, and the standard goods under
consideration would be standard in
quality rather than in pattern.
The Department of Justice also 10
taking other steps to turn the atten-
ton of the public to the lower
priced goods, neglected ig the re-
action from war prosperity. Mr..
Figg has suggested to the National
Retail Drygoods association that
economy" departments be estab-
lished by the associations members,
which would call the attention of
customers to the fact that goods of
excellent quality but medium in
price still are to be had.
Another H. c. L. Meeting.
Mr.. Figg has disapproved the ae-
ton of some merchants, however,
who were said to have taken advan-
tage of the suggestion and inauguI
rated economy sales" The govern
ment does not desire to stampede
the public into purchasing goods not
needed, simply because they are adj
vertised ass bargains" Mr.. Figg
said.
With the coal strike over, officials
expect to give renewed attention to
the cost of living. A call was sent
out today from Attorney General
Palmer's office for a meeting OF the
committee, with whom he had met
frequently in the past on the trend
Of prices. Secretaries Baker, Dan
iels and Wilson, Director General
Hines, Chairman Murdoch of the
federal trade commission and others

Illinois Reduces Its
Rate Of Taxation
For Second Time

Chicago, Dec. 1o-The Illinois
tax levy board fixed the 1919 tax
rate at 40 cents on the $500 of waltz
alton. This means a saving of
100000 over the 75-cent rate of
1918, or 100000 over the o0-cent
rate Of 1917, despite the fact pay
ment will be one-half instead of 4
third of valuation, according to
Omar<H. Wright, state director Of
finance.
The last legislature provided for
the assessment of property on the
basis of half the full valuation in
stead of a third. The levy of 40
cents this year would have been 60
cents on the old basis, and is re-
duction of 20 per cent as compared
to 1918.
Director Wright said Illinois was
!. the only state to reduce its taxes
last year, so far az known, and that
the boards action showed 4 rate re-
duction for two successive years.
3, The total value of all property in
the state is little more than S., 1000,
000,000.

charged with brutality to American
soldiers of the overseas forces in LIE
Mans, France, Lieut.. Col. E. O.

of the American expeditionary
forces, testified that the accused Off
GERS reputation was excellent" and
that under the same circumstances
he would reappoint him to the judge

toned at Chicago.
Names High Officers.
The witness named several high
officers in the D. c. l. who, he said,
frequently had discussed Capt. Det-
ger during gatherings at headquar-
tiers in Chaumont, and they always
Spoke of him most favorably."
Among those mentioned was Col.
w. R. Pope, chief Of lie Mans area;
Mai. Gen. H. H. Bandholtz, Captain
Peterson, formerly chief of police
of Oakland, Cal, and Captain Flood,
member of the New York police
department.
"A necessity existed all over En-
rope for D. C. l. men," he said. 1--WE
sent operatives to Germany, Italy
and England in addition to having
them in France"
French Looted Trains.
Looting of trains carrying sup
plies for the army of occupation,
was so frequent, Colonel Saunders
testified, that an armed convoy had
to accompany each train. Whenever
trains stopped, the armed guards
had to get off and patrol. The wit
ness said a great many Of the thefts
were committed by French civilians
and he believed the greater part Of
the footing was done by them, many
arrests having been made. 1t was
necessary, he explained, to organize
eight companies with a total of 1000
men. After the armist;cc, the force
was enlarged.
