 Through the efforts of the Polish National Committee of America and the American Red Cross they were gathered up and transported across the Pacific to the United States, where they were placed in various asylums at Chicago until their return to their motherland could be arranged. A few of the children still have fathers or mothers living, and these, having made their way back to Poland over land, have been anXiously awaiting the children'S return.
 The voyage of the orphans from America was marred by a terrific storm which on January 29 caught the steamer Princess Matoika one day out of New York and so damaged it that it was obliged to return to port.

Expert Says Retailers Charge
Prices Far Above Whole
sale Rates.

The only remedy for profiteering in
poultry by retail butchers. it was as
serted yesterday by p. Q. Foy. market
reporter, lies with the consuming pub
lie. He declared many small tradesmen
were selling fowl at 100 per cent. above
lied agency. he continued, should be
established TO keep the public informed
Of the disparity between wholesale and
retail prices.
He explained that IL the consumer
knew the retailer was selling chickens
at SO great an increase over the whole
sale price he could, by individual boy
colt, force the tradesman to lower his
prices
So greatly overstocked are the whole
salers, it was pointed out by Mr.. Foy,
that the retailers can get fowl at ridicu-
lously low prices and sell them at an
exorbitant profit. Kosher dressed
chickens are selling at wholesale for 32
and 33 cents a pound while the re-
tailers are demandng--and getting-60,
65 and in some cases 20 cents O. pound.
handsome profit could be made on
these fowl, Mr.. F'oy said, if they were
retailed at around 40 TO AZ cents a
pound. The kosher dealers were the
most fragrant prof1teers. he added.
All persons familiar with the poultry
market say that never before has such
an avalanche of poultry been shipped
into the city. One wholesale dealer in
West Washington Market stated that
$4,000 carloads OF live poultry will be
received here this year. compared with
10,700 last season.
H. II. Jones, head of the State Bu-
reau of Farms and Markets. confirmed
the rufnor Of the possibility of an over
stock market within the next few
months. He reported recently that ST.
300,67S pounds of dressed fowl have
been shipped here since January /,
against 4s.37S,576 pounds during the
corresponding period of last year.
The manager of the largest poultry
distributing house In the Chelsea dis
trict is quoted as saying that the only
solution for the increased supply is 10
take poultry off the luxury list and sell

nearer the wholesale price than it is at
present selling
