plies to at least one Of the many and
devious pe'hs which old man II. c. l..
treads In his effort to make living
complex and expensive for the average
person.
The particular byway referred to Is
that which wholesale shipments Of
food follow In their costly travel from
the railway car to thereafter. A car
load OF fruit or vegetables can be sped
half way across the continent In
day or two. but on arriving In the city
where the food Is to be retailed. the
shipment starts on a winding trail
which too often adds little but IN
necessary costs and delay.

determine how much expense Is add

this phase Of the distribution problem.

could finish another job. After this

with the peaches. Thereupon they
started for the wholesale house which
was two miles away.
The Transfers route lay through the
most congested part OF the city. the
wholesale district being close to the
busy retail section. The wagons were
a full hour and a quarter making the
trip. Meanwhile. the sun beat down
on the peaches and the cIty's dust and
dirt filtered In through the crates so
that the fruit was far from being as
fresh and attractive as when taken
from the car. Moreover. the journey
so jostled and bruised the fruit that
some Of II had TO be sold at dis
count.

ularly anxious to get the peaches de-

Of arrival, because OF the favorable
market, only about one-thlrd OF the
shipment came In by closing time and
IL was noon the next day before the
remainder was delivered.
The long. winding trail did not end
at the wholesalers. Once unloaded,
the peaches were put on display for
the benefit OF various jobbers, some OF
whom purchased few dozen crates
and some larger amounts, Some of
these men were situated within two or
three squares of the Wholesaler and
their purchases were delivered on

WILSON'S CHARGES
AGAINST FOCR NOT
FRANCE, IS CLAIM

Paris, Mar 11.-President Wilson's
charges against France made in the
letter he sent early this week to Gill
bert ". Hitchcock. democratic leader
by "Pertinax" political editor of the
Echo De Paris to be aimed at France
by name, but at Marshal Foch by inn
plication."
''The so-called imperialism of
France" says the writer. in discussing
Mr.. Wilson's letter. consists in the
conviction. fortified by all the lessons
of history that. to guarantee herself
against attacks from central Europe
she must hold the Rhine bridgeheads"
'Pertinax" says President Wilson
went TO the session OF the supreme
council May 20. 1919, much perturbed
and read to Premiers Clemenceau and
B. Noyes. American member of the
Lloyd-George letter from Pierrepont
Rhineland commission who declared
the agreement reached on May IL for
the administration OF the Rhineland
was more brutal than its authors
themselves would desire as it provides
for intolerable oppression of 6.00O.-
600 inhabitants of the region during
many years"
Mr.. Noyes proposed plan of
occupation involving minimum of
military domination. 1t is said.
This nlan." the article asserts.
was nothing more or less than the
convention providing for occupation
of the Rhineland signed with Ger
many at Versailles June 2S. 1919, be-
cause President Wilson was able at
the meeting of May 30 to impose the
views of Mr.. Noyes on the supreme
council, and new commission con-
sisting of Marshal Foch. General
Tasker H. Bliss, American peace
delegate and Field Marshal Sir Henry
Hughes Wilson, chief of the imperial
staff of the British army, received
strict orders to prepare new
scheme of occupation based on
American ideas"
