The London Post described his state
ment that the allied troops were ut q
low point Of morale in 1918 as "not
only ungenerous, but demonstrably un-

American troops and their leaders and
asked If 1t isn't unreasonable that in
return we should look to such dis

"Pershing, like many OF his country
men, has mistaken the psychological

the British army smashed the Cambria
line and that was the end Of the war.

ALFRED SM|T 7 H
NOT ARTHUR

In suit for annulment of his
marriage, filed in San Francisco
in June. Aubrey Willard Duncan,
an enlisted man in the Navy,
charged his wife with fraud" F."
alleging she had concealed news
of a former marriage.
Duncan charged his wife's
former husband was Alfred st.
Clair Smith, rear admiral.
Publication of these charges
with the similarity in names has
embarrassed Rear Admiral Arthur
st. Clair Smith, attached to the
U. S. S. Rochester on duty in the
Canal Zone.
In a letter to the Navy De.
partment. Rear Admiral Smith
today asked that it be made alb
solutely clear that he is not con-
nected with the Duncan case in
any way. He wrote:
"All the assertions of the
article in regard to myself or
my family are entirely false,
and have no foundation of fact.
The present Mrs. Smith has
been my wife fo- "a years, and
we have lived constantly to-
gether. Neither of us has ever
been divorced"

OCEAN RATES

PARIS, July 30. 0N.sJ
American tourists scattered over
Europe were pleased today with
the news that, beginning August
II, North Atlantic steamship
fares would be reduced 10 to 30
per cent.
Third class fares were reduced
about IS per cent, while various
supplementary charges for the
best cabins and other services in
all classes were heavily cut.
The reductions were decided on
yesterday by the North Atlantic
Conference meeting here. Eigh.
teen steamship companies were
represented.
The action of the conference
represent a determined effort on
the part of shipping men to
stimulate waning tourist travel.
A detailed list of reductions
will not be made public before
August II, but after that day it
will be possible to cross the At

HAND To MOUTH
BUYING HITS
WHEAT
Uncertainty of Farm Boards
Plan to Sell Surplus Causes
MiIIers to Cut Purchases

SALINA. Kan, July 3O-Adding
to the distress in the wheat belt,
where lack of storage space and
unprecedentedly low prices have
caused the piling of 25,000,000
bushels, estimated, on the ground
in fields and farm yards. millers,
bakers, jobbers and retailers, are
soft-peddaling on their purchases
of grain and awaiting develop
ments here and in Washington.
AS an illustration of conditions
here a Salina miller today said
he had $4,000 barrels of flour sold
as against 25O,OOO barrels at this
time last year.
Now Buys Less
In. consequence this miller, as
are other millers, is cutting down
his wheat purchases.
He has bought recently $685.
bushels of wheat, contrasted with
1,147, 500 bushels this time year
ago. This is one angle of the
story that runs all through the
wheat-producing States.
A group of Southwest millers
met in Wichita a day or so ago
and their reports, by and large,
showed that only about one-third
as much floor is booked now as
was booked at this season a year
ago.
Hand to Mouth,
In this section bakers, jObbers
and retailers are buying flour on
"handtO-mOuth" system. They
do not look ahead for three Or six
months because the wheat yitua.
tiOn is so uncertain that a new
and unwritten rule of caution"
has spread through the whsat
belt.
It is understood here that Vice
President Curtis and Senator Ar
thur Capper of Kansas, and others
are to make further representa-
tions to the Federal Farm Board
for more definite announcement
concerning it's program for the
disposal of the 2O0,000,O0 bushels
now held by the Government.

sixty-eighth birthday today.
Meanwhile, the plants Of the
Ford Motor Company were closed,
temporarily throwing $4,000 men

The plants, reports said, would

PARKWAY DRIVE
PLAN PUSHED

The Rock Creek parkway and
drive, dream of city planners
here, is being scanned by
surveyors from the office of
Public Buildings and Public
Parks as the next big project for
that office. The preliminary
work, some of which is now
being done, is under the super
vision of Col. U. S. Grant, 3rd.,
director.
It was learned today that
appropriations to care for the
work will be sought at a coming
session of Congress. There have
been several plans suggested for
the drive, which will connect the
two largest park systems in the
District. The drive will run from
Rock Creek Park to Potomac
Park.
Numerous obstacles stand be.
fore the planners for the project,
not the least of which is the fact
that the creek, along which the
roadway would be built. is
polluted. There has been sugges-
ton that the creek be "bridged
over" and that the roadway be
run on top of it. This finds
favor in number of quarters
while others believe the plan
would, in eliminating the creek,
detract from the natural beauties.
Necessary plans for the project
have been completed, it was
learned and a model of the route
is now in the central corridor of
the Navy Building.
This model shows all of the
various changes that will be
made, including the erection of
bridges, and the replacement of
others
