Hope to Reduce Prices in
Paris 40 Per Cent Within
Forth i g t. A Tip for
Woodrow Wilson.
(Special United Press Wire. }

Paris, March 6.-The French gov
ernment has started an offensive
against protiteering with the excep-
tion of lowering the cost OF living in
Paris 40 per cent within Il fortnight.
Fifteen large sheds, located in
various public squares, have been
opened for the sale of government
controlled provisions. More will be
opened as soon as possible. These
supplies consist principally of food
bought from inter-allied commissions
already in existence.
The state will transport them from
ports to selling places by special
trains. The government expects
price reductions on other comlnod-
tiles through indirect compression.
The model scientific ration for the
average man, as worked out by the
interallied commission, now costs 65
cents a day i'm Paris. Under new
government sales system the cost
will be only 30 cents day. If the
Paris experiment is successful food
will be sent to other towns to be re-
tailed subject to state control.
The ministry of food supplies is
also arranging Il system of workmen's
restaurants in Paris capable of serv.

CANADIANS WERE
SACRIFICED in
BATTLE
Sir Sam Hughes Charges
Men Needlessly Slaugh-
tered That Officers Might
Get Advancement.

Toronto, March g. - All Canada
has been stirred by charges made in
the house of commons by Sir Sam
Hughes, former minister of militia,
that officers commanding the domin-
ion forces in France had needlessly
sacrificed the lives of their men in
order to advance themselves. Al
though his allegations were assumed
to refer to Sir Arthur Currie, COM
manderin-chief of the Canadian
forces, there is apparent a strong in
clination in many quarters to dis
agree with him. Soldiers who served
overseas already have taken up the
cudgels in support of General Currie.
Sir Sam opened his attack with the
announcement that he had protested
several times to Premier Borden
against the waste of Canadian boys
lives in unnecessary stunts on the
battlefield. He then read a letter he
had sent to Sir Robert protesting
against what he termed needles,
slaughter at Cambria and stating thai
he had drawn attention of the prime
minister on previous occasions to the
"massacres at Lens, Passchendaele
etc, where the only apparent object
was to glorify the general in com
mand and make it impossible
through butchery to have a fifth and
sixth division and two army corps.
He declared that any general who
would undertake the attack at Cam
brai by suburban or street fighting
should be court-martialed. The sam
was true, he said, of the officer who
had ordered the storming of Mons
four hours before the signing of the
armistice. This, he characterized as q
bit of theatrical display which hau

boys who could i'll be spared

said prisoners had been victims of
wartime passion OF prejudice and had
been given long sentences not COM

eliminate any possible injustice, the
reviews were undertaken. Officials
explained, however, they would take
care not to recommend clemency for
the scores of persons against whom
there was strong evidence OF disloy-
atty, whose sentences were not eX-

Frederick Kraft of Newark, N. j..
