que va ha dedicado una gran parte
de su ejercito de conscriptos, a la pro-
duccion industrial Y agrfcola, bajo la
lsabia direction de expertos alemancs.

que los alemanes, dirigiendo Y admi-

rio que abarcaria desde el Rhin hasta
el Estrecho de Bering y desde ell Mar

no darfan abasto para hacerle produ-

II. Hays. chairman of the Republic
an national committee. tonight is
sued a statement that was inter-
preted in Democratic ranks as evi-
dence that Cox at last has smoked
Harding of his front porch"
The Hays statement follows:
There will be no change in the
plan of Senator Harding's speaking
campaign. 1t Is his wish, and IL is
the unanimous opinion of the COM
mittee. that the general plan of
campaign shall be built around the
speeches at Marion. However. it
has always been understood and is
contemplated that there may be
speeches on nationally important
occasions at nationally important
places. The demand for speeches, by
Senator Harding from every State
in the union are so pressing and in
sjstent that IL cannot, of course.

such addresses may be made"

COX TO PUSH
SLUSH INQUIRY
viii Confer With Pomerent
Shortly on Campaign
Expenditures.
(By Universal service.)

Columbus. Ohio, July 2l.-Gov
James NJ Cox. Democratic Presi-
Dental nominee, will confer within
a few days with Senator Atlee
Pomerene. of Ohio. member of the
Senate Committee on Campaign Ex-
penditures.
The governor will urge Pomerene
to help make effective the hope ex-
pressed by the nominee yesterday
that the "slush fund" investigating
body will remain in session all sum-
mer so that it may uncover financial
improprieties of the campaign.
Cox flung out a sentence in
answer to a statement made by SEN
ator Henry Cabot Lodge, Repub-
lican Senate leader, in which the
aged politician had promised Gov.
Cox "all the campaign contribu-
tion publicity he wants before this
campaign is over"
Neither Senator Lodge nor my
self" Gov. Cox said. will have any
thing to do with determining which
political party, il either. is worthy
of censure for maintaining a slush
fund. That. happily, is a matter
which the people of the United
States will decide"
Senator Lodge participated for an
hour in the session here of the ex-
ecutiye committee of the Republican
National Committee which journeys
to Marion tomorrow for the Harding
notification ceremonies. The Sen
ator then motored to Marion.
A number of women Democrats
visited Gov. Cox today and assured
him that ratification by Tennessee of
suffrage would swing victory to the
Democrats.
The Democratic stump campaign
will be opened simultaneously in the
Middle West and East by Cox, and
in the Far West by Franklin d,
Roosevelt about August 1.
A Democratic campaign commit
tee will be appointed during the
next few days by Gov. Cox and
George White, former Representa-
tive of Ohio. elected chairman of the
campaign committee.

MILK WASTED
SAYS FOWLER
Nearby Farmers Charged
By Health Officer With
Pro6teering.

Charges that dairy farmers in
nearby Maryland and Virginia are
wasting thousands of gallons Of
milk to prevent a falling market
we're made yesterday by DIR. William
). Fowler. district health officer.
Every conceivable device is being
resorted to by the farmers to keep
District milk prices high, 1t was
stated.
Following reports to this effect
from several authoritatives sources.
DR.. Fowler expressed regret that his
department was unable to take
action against the MASTERS of milk.
Hands Are Tied.
Il am very sorry" he said" that
The departments hands are tied in
this instance, but we have exhausted
all means to bring about a change
IN the situation. 1 personally have
tone what I could, through confer
snces with milk distributors and
farmers, to cause at least a tempo
rary fall in the price of milk, b ut
have been unsuccessful"
While Washingtonians are paying
practically twice as much for milk
as before the war, scores or hogs
on dairy farms which furnish milk
for the District are being fattened
on milk thrown to them, it is charg-
cd. In some cases, however, il is
said, the milk is not used at all,
being simply thrown over the
ground or poured down sewers.
According to a report received by
DR.. Fowler, one farmer sold his en-
tire, milk supply to a butter fac
tory at a rate lower than would be
paid by a milk distributor, for the
purpose of preventing the possibil-
ity of having 10 accept still lower
prices.
The local milk supply is normal,
the market having been juggled so
carefully by manipulators that
neither a scarcity nor a surplus
would be evident, it is claimed.

ing never been apprehended since
his disappearance in May. 1918.
When he stepped up'to the guard
at the ferry entrance. he was ac-
companied by an older man, who
told the noncommissioned officer
stationed there that he was former
magistrate Romig of Philadelphia,
who is himself under Federal In
dictment for aiding in Growers es-

Romig spoke to the guard and
said: i've got Erwin Bergdoll here.
He wants to surrender"
The guard Immediately made out
the necessary passes for passage to
the island and the two went aboard.
As the ferry pulled away from Its
slip, Bergdoll took one last look at
the Manhattan sky line and then
turned his face resignedly toward
Fort Jay.
