Wallis's Whistle Summons
Detectives, Who Catch
Purse Snatchers

Two youths snatched purse apiece
last night from Elizabeth Faller, of
1925 Delamere Place, Brooklyn, and
Mrs. Grace Elkan, of $50 West Fifty
fifth Street, as the women stood talk
ing at the downtown entrance to the
Broadway subway at Fiftieth Street
The purse snatchers fled west on
Fiftieth Street, pursued only by the
shrieks of their victims until a police
whistle sounded from an autom mobile
going up Eighth Avenue Then De-
tectives Cassidy and Geraty appeared
magically. AS Cassidy lunged for the
leading fugitive, the latter swung the
purse he was carrying at the head Of
the detective, who, thinking it pis-
toll, pulled his own and put bullet
through the youths leg. Geraty
caught the other sprinter.
At the West Forty-seventh Etreet
police station the wounded man said
he was Patrick Deery, of 423 West
Fifty-second Street. His companion
said he was James Sweeney, Of 1147
Longwood Avenue, The Bronx. Both
were charged with robbery. Deery was
taken to Bellevue Hospital The po-
lice whistle which evoked the detect
ives came from the automobile of T.

missioner, who was on his way home
from tour of roof gardens, where
he had been selling tickets to the po-
lice field days.

Says Prejudice Against
Uniform Has Revived
Special Correspondence


BOSTON, July 18-Declaring that
the pre-war prejudice against the Uni
ted States army uniform was already
beng manifested in this city, Major
General Clarence R. Edwards, in let
ter to the War Department at Wash
ington, has requested that soldiers
stationed at the coast defences be al
lowed to wear their civilian clothes
while "on pass, so that they will not be
subject to further ridicule and insult"
General Edwards has had many COM
plants that enlisted men visiting the
city were openly sneered at and called
trench dodgers" because they were
now assigned to duty at the harbor
forts, although many of them have seen
fighting overseas for more than a year.
Intelligence officers detailed by the
War Department to make a thorough
investigation substantiate the stories.
In has letter to the War Department
General Edwards pointed out that the
public esteem in which the uniworm
was held during the war had appar-
emily disappeared.
ALREADY the first pre-war prejudice
against the uniform is apparent" he
wrote. "At first | could not believe the
story, but l have sent out civilians and
my own men as we'll, to investigate it,
and found it to be absolutely true"

State Will Maintain
Surplus Guard Units
Only 10000 of 1900 Men
Now in New York Regiments
To Be Federalized

The War Department plans for the
reorganization of the National Guard,
announced Wednesday, find New York
with about 5000 more troops than the
Federal government expects to author
ize. The New York Guard now con-
sists of $4,000 men. According to the
arrangements of the Federal govern
ment, it will contain only about 10000.
New York State will maintain the
remaining 5000 as state guard, it was
said yesterday at division headquarters
of the New York Guard.
The two guards, state and national,
will be organized as a single division,
under the command of Major General
John F. Organ. There will be no diff
ference between them, except that the
Federal government will finance one
and the state the other.
The Federalized infantry regiments
are the list, 69th. 23d (Brooklyn) and
Sd (upstatc). The 7th and 18th regi-
ments remain purely state troops. The
Federalized coast artillery is the 18th
command, leaving the 9th and 9th for
the state to maintain. The Federalized
cavalry squadron will be a unit of the
upstate 1st Cavalry, so that Squadron
A will be state guard organization.

now is prohibited, to protect American
consumers.
French food officials, it is explained,
were given an option last fall on as
large a proportion of the Cuban sugar
crop as they wished. The French, how
ever, took only about 81 per cent of the
crop, although American officials warned
them of an impending world sugar
shortage. Now that the French face a
serious sugar deficit they are seeking
an American supply, where prices are
lower than elsewhere. Sugar is avail
able in Czecho-Slovakia. but the Czechs
are asking 25 cents pound. Stocks
are available elsewhere, but at prices
far higher than in the United States.
Consumption of sugar has increased
at such an unexpected rate that Amer
lean refners have been unable to meet
the demand, although raw sugar is
abundant Since the United States
went dry, it is said here. consumption
there increased, $4,000 tons monthly,
chiefly because of its use in sweet
drinks.
While sugar was rationed the per
capita consumption in the United States
dropped from eighty-fve pounds year
to forty-fve. Indications now are that
the increased use of sugar since the
armistice will make the consumption
exceed all previous figures.

General Discomfort Laid to

War Blunders Are Cited
Netr York Tribune

PARIS, July 18.-European states
men are considering plan to estab-
hsh great system of food control
as cure for existing unrest and as
a preventive Of future troubles of a
similar nature. The plan is opposed
by American experts, on the ground
mat 1000 control should give way to
international trading as the surest
guarantee that supplies needed bv
Europe would be made available.
Despite the position taken by Amer
leans, the food control plan still is
under scrutiny. In this connection it
IS pointed out that unrest everywhere
is apparent, and the great increase in
the cost of living is the basic cause.
Would Dictate Prices
European leaders believe that by
unity of food control they can die
tate the prices of foodstuffs and strike
at the very root of discomfort.
When this possibility came to the
knowledge of the Americans frank
statements we're made to the Euro
peans. The Americans said:
"Europe's powers of consumption arc

chase of food there is not the slight
est. doubt that the combined nations
could absolutely dictate the prices the
producers should receive
AT first sight this may look we'll.
put we warn you that great danger
lies therein. The experience of this
war has shown that price fixing, which
differs from price stabilizing, invari-
ably results in reducing production.
Under system by which Europe would
be able to control the prices which
producers receive you, at no distant
time, would be faced with such a re-
duction in the quantity Forthcoming
from the western hemisphere that
imports would dwindle to nothing, and
under the happiest circumstance 1OO,-
100000 of Europes population must
iced from imported stuffs"
The Americans cite the case of vep-
etable oils, the great world shortage
OF which to-day is due entirely 20
price fixing at an early stage of the
war. bringing great curtailment of
production. Now, when the lack of
wisdom in this course is apparent, it
is also seen that long time will be
required to correct the mistake.
Americans are urging that what is
true OF. vegetable oils would be true of
all the foodstutfs Europe imports, if
the system of food control were es-
tablished.
Fate of Millions at Stake
The struggle between these two
viewpoints is still going on, and Amer
leans are convinced that the fate of
scores of millions of lives is in the
balance. They assert that the only
answer to the present world crisis is
the encouragement of production by
every possible means.
1t is declared the present food sit
uation in Europe is satisfactory,
though there are shortages in certain
articles, the reason for which is more
probably due to lack of foresight than
to world shortage. In the case of
sugar, however, there is a real shortage
in Europe, due partly to the necessity
of forbidding export from the United
States, where the consumption of

ton Roads; Pays Tribute
to Personnel of Vessels

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-Oficers
and members of the crews of the new
ly organized Pacific fleet were wished
godspeed and safe and pleasant voy-
age by Secretary Daniels in a MESSAGE
sent to Admiral Hugh Rodman, fleet
commander, on the eve of the departure
of the armada from Hampton Roads
for the West coast.
The Secretary's message said:
regret that imperative duties here
IN Washington deny me the privilege
OF reviewing your magnificent fleet as
1t sails from Hampton Roads to the
Golden Gate: The country is to be
congratulated that the American navy
of to-day is big enough and powerful
enough to be organized into two power
tul fleets of 534,142 tons each.
The world gave glad welcome to
what we called our great feet when it
made its historic tour around the
world. The tonnage of that fleet was
206, ,527, or less than half your Pacific
fleet which will soon sail through
the Panama Canal. We have, in addi-
tion to this, an equal fleet in the At
lantic, small Asiatic fleet which is
to be strengthened, and there are still
a number of ships in European waters.
There were 800 officers and 13,50O
AA.S - III eiC IctI Wueu 1T ClrcleQ the
globe eleven years ago. You are hon
ored to command 1000 officers and
$4,000 men in your splendid fleet.
These comparisons afford an indi-
cation of the growth in tonnage and
personnel in these years, but the
growth in fighting power is many times
greater: Then the largest ship had
four 12-inch guns and could shoot
10000 yards. Your splendid flagship,
the New Mexico, of 32 900 tons, carries
twelve 14-inch guns and can hit the
target at 10000 yards. It's electrical
propellng machinery has marked an
epoch in naval progress, and since 1907
the substitution of oil for fuel has
greatly increased the fighting radius
Of our ships.
"From every city and town on the
Pacific Coast kilograms announce the
warmth of the welcome awaiting your
fleet. My greetings to all on board
your sixteen-readnough and other
fighting craft and my best wishes for
fair winds and a successful voyage"

C0blenz Germans
Fire on Americans

COBLENZ, July 1s (By The Asso-

tempted last night to assassinate
Major George Cockriel, of st. Paul
Minn., provost marshal of the Amer
lean forces in Germany. The major
was not injured.
The Germans escaped after firing
several shots from behind at their in
tended victim.
The attempt to assassinate Major
Cockriel was deliberate and premedi-
tated. He is on the German secret list of
marked Americans" and during the
last week has received five threatening
letters, one of which gave MIN only
twenty-four hours to live.
Major Cockriel, accompanied by q
military police officer, was walking
along a dark street of Coblenz at ID
o'clock last night when he met two
|. Germans, who began firing as soon as
they had passed the Americans, blaz-
ing away over their shoulders as they
ran. This probably accounts for their
poor craftsmanship, as neither of the
Americans was hurt, although several
shots were fired.
A dispatch from Coblenz several
weeks ago indicated that several
American officers had been placed ON
a list of marked men," presumably by
Germans who resented the American

Three Men We're Adnriruls

Four men have attained the perma-

admiral, since the United States be-
came a nation.
George Washington was the first
American general and the last until
after the Civil War. Ulysses S. Grant,
the next to attain the rank, became q
general July 25, 1866. When Grant be-
came President in 1859. the rank of
general was conferred upon William
Tecumseh Sherman, who held it until
his retirement in 1884. In May, 1888,
the rank was revived for Philip H.
Sheridan. Pershing, while still holding
the rank of major general, became
temporarily general in October, 1917,
Major General March having received
the same temporary rank the preceding
May.
