Canteen Pie Profit Big
Enough to Hire Clerks,
Say Tired Doughboys

The high cost of pie bobbed up
in the Capitol yesterday as a rea-
son for discharges-from the army.
A delegation of Camp Meade SOL
diers visited members of Congress
protesting against being kept in the
army to sell pastry and other deli
cacies at the post exchanges.
They pointed out that whereas
pie was formerly 10 cents for a
quarter cut when dispensed to over
seas heroes awaiting demobiliza-
tton, 1t has recently been advanced
to 10 cents for a one-sixth portion.
Since the wholesale price of the
pies is 81 cents. the soldiers con-
tend that the profit of 33 cents per
pie is sufficient margin to permit
the authorities to hire civilian
clerks to dispense it and thus re-
lease men in the service for dis
charge.

Conservatives. Thirteenth and z
streets northwest.
More than 1000 persons visited
the exhibition of the brilliant blos-
sons. Ranging from waxen white
to the deepest of red tones, with
their brilliant hues they presented a
gorgeous impression. Their heavy
heads, measuring in many instances
fourteen inches in diameter. were
balanced on slender storks that bent
under the weight of the blossoms,
The exhibition yesterday has
been the work of six years. The
$40 plants on display were raised
from seedlings of the parent stock
shown at that time.
Those who saw the effective lily
like blossoms yesterday were en-
thusiastic about the exhibition. Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson, who with Mrs
Houston, wife of the Secretary OF
Agriculture, reviewed them at a pri-
vate showing Friday afternoon,
yesterday sent a note of appreciation

This plant group will be a perm
anent part of the local Conservatives

in Greece, on the Aegean sea, halt
way between Athens and salonika,
there Is total absence of coal and
extreme shortage of fuel of all kinds,
so acute that in a few cases owners
OF olive groves have decided that the
olive trees offer quicker and better
profit when sold for fuel than for
olive raising. Some OF these trees are
centuries old.

rives with cargo of charcoal il is
besieged by long line of refugees and
other poor people. hoping that they
may buy even a pound or two Of the
precious charcoal, which is burnt in
old tin pans and offers their only
means of cooking the little food they
can obtain.
Often, however. a large local con-
Germ has bought up the entire cargo
for its own use. The ship owner
naturally preferred to dispose of il in
one lot rather than TO dole II out in
small portions.
If the local concern had more than
II needed II sold the unfortunates the
surplus-at a substantial profit.

Contracts for new ships totalling
sfe0. 900. 900 have been cancelled or

the House Appropriations Commit
tee. gave a review of the shipping
Boards work during the war and
explained the problems the board
now Is facing. He said that early
in September. 1918, the shipping
Board reached ''the peak of the pro-
gram and the goal of endeavor TO
perform"
Orrt september 26, 1918, the last
contract for new tonnage was let
he said. It was shortly after TINS
date. according to Hurley's letter
the pruning of outstanding contracts
was begun

cordingiy, we sharply reduced our
wood ship construction program, re
grstfiily on our part because OF the
sisturbance created. We felt, now
eyer. that our first duty was to con-
ssrye our resources and devote our
epergies to the construction OF the
more valuable and useful steel ships.
Relative to the plans under con-
sheraton by the shipping ooaru'
Hurley said, I'VE have taken ADVICE
Of the best shipping experts in the
cbuntry as to revision of our pro

We believe is the limit Of cancelIa-
ttous on a large scale"
Hurley explained that to make iur-
ther drastic cancellations might IN
ctease rather than decrease the cost
OF the program as outlined for the
present year. He expressed the oplh-
ion that to suspend further contracts
might create "a perfect orgy OF liti-
cation" as well as disturb the Ia
Dor condition Of the country"
