Price of Bread and Flour in
Austria Advanced to Aid
Retailers.

Vienna, Feb. 16.-The Austrian gov
eminent has refused longer to bear
the burden Of the loss Of about 49,
900, 900 crowns a week to cover the
difference between the purchase and
selling price of cereals and, conse-
quently has raised the price Of bread
and flour. :
This problem of providing bread
and flour at prices which the people
difficulty by the constantly declining
exchange value of the crown. In the
latter part OF. January the treasury
was paying $50 crowns to a dollar
while in some private trades as high
as $40 crowns were paid for a dollar.
IT,. Food Problem Worse.
The food problem has been made
worse, by the failure of. neighboring
countries to live up to agreements and
contracts. For months Jugo-Slavia has
had some 5000, 900 real dollars of
pay for stipulated food supplies. In
not one week. it is said. has more than
a small percentage of the agreed upon
amount, Of foodstuffs been delivered,
although, according to allied investi-
gators. there is a food surplus in
Ju~go-Slavia.
Neither the pressure of the entente,
the Representations. of the sub-com-
mission Of the PREPARATIONS commits
sion, nor the visit Of Chancellor Rem
ner to Pragues las brought" Czecho-
Slovakia to the fulfllment of her coal
agreements. The proportion Of the
agreed upon coal deliveries from that
country has beer negligible and is re-
garded as the principal factor in Aus
tria's present plight.
Plays Vital Part.
The disruption Of the railway sys-
tenn of the old empire also plays a
vital part in present conditions. It was
designed as a single system and adapt
ed to the needs of the then existing
state. But it has been broken into sep
arate systems in each country. Aus
tria- Bohemia and Jugo-Slavia. each
is attempting to operate its portion as
independent system while railway ex-
perts of the allies have pointed out in
vain hat none of them can be made
efficient under the circumstances.
There has been an unequal ,distribu-
ton of cars and locomotives and while
the entente representatives and COM
missioners are struggling with the
problem of a fair ALLEGATION of rolling

thousands of readers of the novel will
recall is the Black Hills, in the days
of the gold rush, when the white man
broke his treaties and forced his way

FLIRTING WITH THE SOUTH

"The Republican party is how smil-
ing at the South and trying to flint
with itSsays the Baltimore Sun. Gin
the past it has attempted a. timcs
to rape II w fore bis. to divide
it by fraudulent political issues, or
to seduce it by material hopes and
fears. 1T is making now the offer
of ain honorable affair of the heart.
The proposal to nominate a South
ern man for Vice President is in
dorsed by nearly all leading Rcpub-
licans and appears to be considered
an unusually fine play.
Heretofore the solid South has re-
fused to surrender to threats or to
melt because of Establishments. She
is probably this year in more APP
,proachable frame of mind than at
any time since the Civil War. No
Southern man has been vice president
since Andrew Johnson, and, if a. gen.
timely representative southern iiia'i
should be nominated by the Republi-
cans, he might, at as. heil: tc make
a dent in some localities south Of the
Potomac.
"But: if the Republican party is
to strengthen itself in this cnemy's
countryjit must nominate man at
the head of it's ticket who is in SYM
pathy with the situation in that sec
ton and who will not complicate its
difficulties. The suffrage amend
ment involves a danger which can
not he i"rorcd, and, Il it should be
ratified, The South *. ID want to be
guaranteed against any feminine
force bills to render it effective.
Unless it gets virtual assurance to
that effect, no Vice Presidential bait
will induce it to swallow the Repub-
l:can hook"

INVITE PRESIDENT
To WITNESS FETE

President Wilson was today noti-
fed that a special box would be con-
structed for him from which he might
witness the American Legion Armi-
stice day celebration in November, if
he could attend the big demonstra-
ton that will continue at the Amer
lean League Base Ball Park for three
days, beginning November II.
The invitation was delivered to Sec
rotary Tumulty at the White House
by Mrs. Kenneth Croft. who is aiding
the committee in it's work of
larrangingt for the celebration, which
will be under the auspices Of District
of Columbia posts of the order.
A stage. dance pavilion, motion
picture studio and various other at
fractions are to be installed in the
park. The program will open on the
AFTERNOON of the 18th with a
patriotic concert, at which the COM
mittee has promised there will be one
or more grand opera stars of interna-
tional reputation heard. In all there
will be six performances, starting at
3 o'clock in the afternoon and o'clock
| in the evening of each day.
| 1t is planned to have one program
J especially for children, when attractions
! for little folks. The date will be ar
| ranged so that it will not conflict witt
! school hours.
| The main stage where the concerts
| will be given will be Immediately ir
| front of the grand stand, and will have
| a sounding board in the rear so that Il
| will be in a measure cut off from the
| rest of the ball field. At the opposite
i corner of the field, too far away to allow
| the music to conflict, a dance pavilion
will be erected, and the other attrac'
| lions will be situated around the edge:
( of the ball field.

particular appeal to the motion picture
