TAKE RENT,CASE
UNDER BALL ACT
TO MGHCOURT
Appeal to Supreme Bench
May Test Laws
Validity.

An appeal to the Supreme Court
of the United States to advance the
case of julius Block VS.. Louis Hirsh.
involving the constitutionality of
the District of Columbia rent Lave,
was made yesterday by Julius L
Peyser and Jesse c. Adkins. attor-
neys for the plaintiff in error,
Since the BAll act, under which
the Rent, Commission was created,
continues for only two years. and
as a number of States have passed
similar laws, the Supreme Courts
decision on the question is import,
ant, not only to the Federal gov
ernment but to the State govern
ments. the attorneys said in their
petition. The court Is asked to fix
an early, date for the hearing.
Although the District Court OF
Appeals held, in the case of Block
VS.. Hirsh, the entire act to be un-
tn Rent Commission
is still functioning
Chief Justice Smyth flied dis
senting opinion to the decision of
the Court of Appeals. A large NUM-
Der OF cases arising under the same
statute are pending in lower courts.
The Ball rent act was specifically
excluded in the repeal of other war
time measures under a resolution
passed by the House earlier in the
week.

Won't Withdraw
Rhine Troops,
Says Sec. Baker

Withdrawal of troops IN the
American Army of Occupation is not
being considered by the War De-
partment, according to the state
ment made yesterday by Newton d.
Baker. Mr.. Baker said that there
had Teen no official protest received
either from the allies or the Ger
mans relative to S1s cost Of main
tanning the American soldiers.
ne present Y1tcy of tho DEPART
ment, it is. understood. is to limit
the number of men In the Army of
Occupation to 1000 and at the pres
ent time only the absolutely neces-
sary replacements are being sent
over for the Rhine army.
The protests which may have been
voiced at the Brussels conference
are due, II Is believed. to the fact
that the American army still Is
being maintained under the terms
of the armistice, which obIieates
Germany to pay for the expenses
of the troops.
The cost of the Army of Occupa-
tion since December. 1913, % the
end OF the present fiscal year has
been $257.os5,00o. OF this amount
Germany has paid less than $685.
100000. a sum below the cost of
maintaining the American forces for
a month when the expenses were
at their high mark.
The cost of the Army of Occupa-
tion this year has averaged Just
above s2,ooo,ooo a month.

judged by the results of that oc-
cupation." says the court.
Now for the first time In more
thanAa hundred years tranquility
apd security of life and property
may be said to prevail In Hayti
THE Haytian people themselves
welcomed the coming of our men
and are unwilling to have them de-
part.
The establishment and mainte-
nance of tranquil conditions and
then OF life and property all over
the Republic Of Hayti has been an
arduous and dangerous and thank
less task. That task our Marines
have performed With fidelity and
great gallantry.
The outstapding characteristic
of officers. from the brigade COM
mander down. has been their SYM
pathetic attitude toward every step
that would lead to a betterment of
the couptry and to Improvement in
the physical, mental and moral con-
ditions Of the population.
With slender resources and in
adequate administrative authority
they have accomplished much. where
Anything more than suppression OF
organized insurrection seemed i'm
possible.
"The above remarks apply with
particular force to those officers and
enlisted men of the Marine Corps
who have been serving as officers
OF the gendarmerie of Hayti."

During the next month from

the average price on New York
Extras was 61.52c per pound.
while the local cream stations at
