The food administration's bakers' com HftltUe has announced that the belt the lufcsewlfe can hope for Is a slxteen-ounce loaf for eight cents. Master bakers here, conducting the fight against the cheaper Ief, declare "there Is absolutely no chance f a nve-cent loaf -with wheat at $2.20." Agricultural experts and consumers' rep resentatives on the wheat price-fixing coin ntttee say that they agreed to the 13.20 "rice only upon assurances of farmers' rep resentatives that a fourtecn-ounce loaf at Are cents la practicable with wheat at that trure. They were joined by tne two organised labor representatives, who buttled against s, $1.60 price set by producers. The case of the flve-cent fourteen-ounce loaf was fully discussed by the price com mittee, whose story Is here told for the rat time. At the beginning of the discus sions it developed that the $2. 50 members were Charles J. Barrett, president of the Farmers' Union, Georgia ; Edward K. l.add. president of the North Dakota Agricultural College; J. W. Shorthlll, secretary of the National Council of Farmers' Co-operative Associations, Nebraska, and H. J. Waters, president of the Kansas State Agricultural College. James TV.

Theodore N. Vail, president of the Amer ican Telephone and Telegraph Company, was primarily responsible for the $2,20 Price. He nppealed to the members to get together when a deadlock seemed inevitable, President Wilson having asked the board to hand In a unanimous decision. The con sumers' representatives stood out until Just efore the last for $2.17. Agriculture Department experts pre vented figures showing the average cost of producing wheat on the farm is $1.71 per bushel.

Henry Walnut, Assistant United States District Attorney, who Is directing the round-up of draft slackers, assures every new army candidate In the city that he will receive a square deal. He made It plain that the lawyers ap pointed by Goernor Brumbaugh to counsel local draft boards would nlso protect the Interests of men who nre fighting for ex emptions, and was emphatic in his asser tion that no man would be "railroaded into the army." "There are fifty-one 'oral draft boards In the clly." said the Federal prosecutor, "and each board has an attorney, it will become the duty of these lawyers to extend legal advice to the draft olllclals whenever necessary and also tn lmndln exemption appeals that are made to the district boards. "Each board has scores of exemption claims to handle, and It Is only natural that many of the decisions will be qtiRslloncd. Men who nre denied exemptions by local boards have the rlfiht to nppeal their clalmn to ths district appeal boards, nnd hundreds have done an. Such appeal are made. In the form of Hflldavlts, and to protect the district appeal boards against frauds, the attorneys reprcfentlng the local draft boards wilt examine the adldavlts. "The attorneys will receive definite In. structlons on Monday " Labor leaders who, on Thursday, made In timations to Appeal Hoard No, 2 that mu nitions makers In this city were using the draft as a club to force workers to accept unfavorable working and woge schedules, will have to be specific with their charges and put them In the form of allldavlls be fore the appellate board will Institute an In vestigation. Officials of the Mldvalc Steel plant, who Wero named by the labor unionists us the mer who "ought to be watched," have de nied the so-called charges and today an nounced that they would file affidavits dis closing their attitude toward the draft and tin! workers who have been requested to file Industrial claims. "We want nil the Information obtain able." said Walter Willard, chairman of the board, "but the Information must be pre sented In affidavit form. The labor men who appeared before the Board on Thurs day did not make specific charges, but were very fair In their treatment of the board and promised to co-operate by pre senting any evidence which they may ob tain In connection with lneguloritles in the exemption of Industrial workers. "Officials of the Baldwin Locomotive Works and Mldvale Steel plant did the same. We have nothing to Investigate un til somebody files specific charges." NATIONAL GUARD UNITS STIR THRONGS TO LAUGH Field Bakery Company Kneads Bread on Float Baked on Line of March Nntlonal Guaid units In the line of parade today, being thoroughly familiar with the temper of Philadelphia crowds from previous expcilence, brought down many a laugh. This was especially true of the field bakery company. Seven members of this company aboard a big truck were kneading dough for all they were worth, nil the time keeping time with the trune, "Where Do We Go Prom Here," played by a band following them, as they left the starting point. They were knead ing a big pile of dough about four feet across and as they finished it men on foot with uniform of khaki, white caps and long white aprons passed It back to another truck, where an oven was kept hot. The loaves were taken out as the parade pro ceeded. Much disappointment was caused by the First Pennsylvania Cavalry troops A. I and G, which appeared dismounted. The disappointment was apparent as soon as their Identity was discovered all along the line. One mother commented, "What Is an army without mounted cavalry?" The field hospital unit, with stretchers folded for distance marching, were greeted with a kind of cheering entirely different from that of any of the other marchers. The crowd managed to create the feeling that these men were truly of the unit of mercy, and many persons remarked that they "hoped there would be little for these lads to do."

SIDELIGHTS, GRAVE AND GAY, ON GREAT MARTIAL DISPLAY Women Wistfully Watch Marcher With Final Chance to "Be a Man" Needlework Con tinues Briskly on Sidewalk and in Auto Two women one old and giay-h.ilred atid stooped, the other oung and uray hnlred and stooped stood and watched the long column, apparently unmoved by any thing that they saw, unmoed by the sober, determined faces of the men that marched, unmoved by the martial music, unmoved by the patriotic cheering of tho throngs. Hun dreds and hundreds of men passed by and then thousands. Still these two women watched. After a long time a mm passed that they knew, lie was looking for them, and when they saw him they acd their handker chiefs and smiled, but did not speak. The man smiled, and ho did not speak. He was a big fellow, strong of body but he had a weak chin. You could see his hands were used to work and he was not good-for-nothing, but lie was weak of will. You could see that. Whisky had made Its marks on his face After a while the younger woman said. "Well, its his chance. Maybe It will make a man of him." "I shouldn't wonder." said the other, not ery hopefully. That was all. Maybe they were mother and sister; ma j be mother nnd wife. rialn may have reduced t lie number of men that marched and It may hae teduced the number of women that knitted while they waited for the marchers, but those who did participate in tho columns or on the "side lines'" were full of enthuslusm. Women of all ages, sires, shapes and colors wero busy with their needles while they waited for the parade, using what shelter they could find or using none, nnd laughing Just tho same, if they could find none. The spirit of democracy was among the women, too. Here and there one could see a woman of humble station showing some new "stitch"' to a "fine lady," here and there a weman smiling from a parked au tomobile at one standing on the curb lie- cause they were both making mufflers. It seemed that the colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady were sisters under their skins, and more. One of the marchers, who took the whole thing as the most serious business, ap peared to be marching just because it was the thing to do, nnd not because he really wanted to. He looked as if he thought the parade was a kind of foolishness that Blmply took everybody's time nnd didn't accomplish any good. He was a man with no Eentlment Just a sense of duty and a disposition to do what his Government told him to do. A shower of capsules bearing the city's good wishes fell from an airplane far in the air. His comrades scrambled for them, but the man went on, smiling Indulgently. Presently the wind caught one of the cap sules and droc it againM the man's cheek, slinging him. Ills hand went up involun tarily nnd his face winced with pain for an Instant. A few members nC the crowd, maybe two or three who had seen laughed. The rest of the crowd laughed, Just because when two nr thiee do nearly everybody else Just has to. Then the man grinned mid his fellows In the column began to laugh. Not moio than a dozen perilous knew what the cause of the mirth was In the beginning, but soon everybody was as "tickled" as If he knew all about It. One of the drafted men who assembled at Thirteenth stieet and Allegheny avenue was n tall mulatto, who had been hand some vet lecently. lie was straight ns un at row. well dressed, clean looking and had one of those stylish little moustaches. Hut lie had a lot of bandages around his fote head. Questioned, he said he came by the bandages this wny: Ills wife had planned a trip to Atlantic City for today, but when she told him tc- get up and dress this morning ho said he guessed he wouldn't go to the shore ; ho preferred to march with the ret,t of tho drafted men, But his wife was more mus cular than patriotic. She seized a clothes line prop nnd wielded It with telling effect. Tho patriotic draftee recovered conscious ness in a hospital nnd went out to march. He said he hoped lie would meet Hlnden burg before he met his wife again. While the selected service men were foini Ing In line at Broad and Cumberland streets, nn aged, white-bearded man suddenly called out, "There Is my boy !' A policeman of tho KlcveiUh nnd Winter streets station, who was standing nearby, turned toward the aged man, pointed at the recruits, and said, "There goes my boy. too." The two proud parents clasped hands and wept si lently for several minutes. A feature of the parade was the elaborate display of the Baldwin locomotive Works" Kddysjone plant, which was led by an auto mobile bearing a banner. "Our Knergles are Concentrated to Help Win tho War." There followed a float bearing a full-size model of a gasoline engine, such as are being sent to Kurope by Baldwin's. Over It was a banner saying, "These Will Carrv Food and Supplies to the V. S. A. Boys In the Trenches." Another float showed the 200 separate parts of a rifle, and in the middle was a Mack of complete rifles. "This is What the I". S. A. Hoys Use When They Go Over the Top" said the banner. On this' float was a target, and men In soldiers' uniforms demon strated rlfie tests. The Baldwin display was completed by two floats bearing steel and brass shells from three to twelve inches in size. A ban ner said, "These Will Clear ths Way for the I. S. A. Boys When They Go Over tho Top " PHONES SPREAD NEWS ALONG PARADE ROUTE 48 Bottles of Ale a Day His Capacity HALIFAX', Sept 1.

Bum' Elaborate System, Devised by Chief of Electrical Bureau, Keeps Crowds Informed By a most elaborate system of tele phones, devised by Chief McLaughlin, of the Electrical Bureau, the thousands of persons that thronged the sidewalks were kept con stantly Informed as to the progress of the parade both while It was In process of for mation and while It was passing down Broad street to the place of dispersal. Telephone booths were erected at twenty four of the principal street Intersections along the route of the big procession.,, In each sat nn employe of the Electrical Bu leau, with a telephone, headset crowning him like a helmet. His mouth was close to a transmitter that hung before him. As each division passed, he icported the fact to the Electrical Bureau. When some one In the crowd asked a question about any division, he queried the Electrical Bu reau and received the Information that had been supplied by one of the other sentinels. Frequent announcements of the movements of the line were made to the crowd by megaphone, "How soon will she start?" shrilled a small boy at the southeast corner of Broad and Chestnut streets, some minutes after It had been announced that the head of the line had left Lehigh avenue. The man on duty In the booth consulted with the Elec trical Bureau for a moment then shouted through his megaphone. "The head of the parade has Just arrived at Qlrard avenue, It will reach Chestnut street In twenty-five minutes." Throughout the afternoon, while the marchers were sweeping past, mothers, fathers and other relatives and friends of the conscripted men kept up a constant flow of Inquiries. "Did the Frankford. boys pass yet?" called a womsn, The men of the Thirty-fourth District, which Includes Frankford, are now passing Arch'Street," was the answer. One woman,, greatly wrought up by ex citement, pride and grief, merely demanded, "How soon will my boy passT"' "Where does he liver' asked the Elec trical Bureau man.

Buptist Conference Hears How Missionary's Wife Proved Loyal to Adopted Land How one German mother decided the question of loyalty was told today at the Atlantic Conference of German Baptists, which closed Its business program at the Klrst German Baptist Church, Ninth and Luzerno .streets. It was the recital of Mrs. Jacob Heln I'lchs, who Is on furlough with her hus band from the German Baptist mission at Itamapatam, India. "I received a telegram, while my hus baiiad was In the West," said Mrs. Heln richs, "from my son In Boston, stating that he had been called to France nnd was to sail in three days, and asking me to meet hin- in New York. 1 hurried to catch the ntxt train. "At the end of the three days my son asked that he might have my blessing be fore he went. My boy, going to fight the people I loved. "I, Bald 'Yes, you are going with my blessing, because we must be loyal to our country, no matter how we'feel about th war.'" The question was brought up privately among the ministers at the conference on the advisability of sending a message to 1'resldent Wilson assuring him of the? loy. alty of the German Baptist churches The consensus of opinion was that such a tteo was unnecessary, likening It to the reoetl Hon of the marriage pledge of loyalty and faithfulness which Is not deemed necessary after having once been given. They had nothing to thank the Kaiser for they said; he did not help them get their dally bread and butter. This country gave them better conditions, a better future and they were thankful to the Government tinder which those conditions might be maintained. 97-Year-OId Woman Inherits Money CHAMBEnSBUUQ, Sept. 1.

The son went West several PHILADELPHIA GIVES GLORIOUS GREETING TO HERO-SONS ON PARADE Continued from race One white In spite of the. rain earlier In the day, who flowed by and looked like a great white river disappearing In the distance down Broad street On every hand the croviJ mado comments upon theso wonderful look ing, vigorous, determined young men, who marched with a snap which sent n rever beration of footfalls back up Broad Btreet to that other army of young Americans who will soon be marching with tho same pre cision and tho samo determination to do or die for Uncle Sam. The great column fifty thousand men moved away on time from Diamond street down Broad between lanes of cheering thousands waving flags, smiling and laugh ing In admiration and love for the men who vv'ero going away to fight for them. In the line were approximately 7000 drafted -men and thousand"! of former Na tional Guardsmen. Civic and patriotic or ganizations and thousands of men In service swelled the ranks. Mayor Thomas B. Smith, grand marshal of the parade, with a platoon of mounted police, nnd Brigadier General William O. Price, Jr., headed the column. On both sides of Broad street trom City Hall to Arch stret tut nged veterans of the Civil War In chairs, cheering the men who nro going Into the new National Army. Many of these hoary veterans were mere boys when this country was threatened with destruction as a result of Internal strife. Many of them falsllled their ages to gain opportunity to help preserve the Union and there were nmong the draftees today some that had done the same for the same pur pose. DRAFTED MEN IN LINN A llio linn nim-pd south on llload htieet the ranks were swelled constantly by draft ed men, who, by Invitation of the district boards, had mobilized along the route. The ofllclal reviewing stand was located on the west side of Broad street Just below Arch. Besides Governor Brum baugh's staff, the reviewing party Included Adjutant General T. .1. Stewart. Bear Ad miral Tnppan, commandant of the navv yard; Colonel Montgomery, commandant of the Frankford Arsenal; Major lletherlng ton. Mrs. George Qulntard Horwltz. Mayor, of Moorehaven, Fla., who vrns recently made n major by the Governor of Florida ; Judge and Mrs. J. Willis Martin. Mr. nnd Mrs, Thomas ftobins and Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Hoycr. The city stand, with a seating capacity of 1200, was. erected on the north plaza of City Hall, facing up Broad street. It was occupied by Councllmcn and city and county officials with their wives and friends. Gl'NS SOUND TB1BUTE Around City Hall moved the marchers, nnd as they swung Into view of the Union League a great cheer rose from tho throng assembled on reviewing stands on either side of the entrance. A cannon boomed n salute to them at a signal from John Grlbbel, president of the league, nnd thereafter the great gun spoke in tribute to the drafted men and other soldiers at minute intervals. Women were grouped In one stnnd at the Union League and men In the other. At least half of the drafted men took part In the great procession, which required five hours to pass a given point. They were divided into three battalions, the first carrying red banners, the second bearing white and the third blue. After the salutes were completed the guns kept booming, giving to the event a note of battle realism, which was strengthened bv the appearance of United States air planes, soaring nbovo In the most elaborate flight ever made in Philadelphia. Little capsules or "bombs," containing the city's good wishes for the soldiers, were dropped from the 'planes. MARCHED LIKE SOLDIEItS The drafted men were an Ill-favored lot, so far as uniforms were concerned, but thej marched proudly nnd like soldiers. They wore all kinds of clothes and all kinds Df lints, from cheap straws to pure beaver sombreros. Some were well nnd fashion ably tailored men of affairs; others, labor ers In "hand-me-downs." But they marched with martial tread, keeping straight lines, chests out, shoulders square, heads up. The crowds cheered at times and nt other times only clapped hands. The peo ple that watched wera sober and serious. It was a solemn nnd dignified event, not something to be gay over. The Emergency Aid Commltteo was repre sented by Boy Scouts and Campflre Girls, who carried two forty-foot United States flags and smaller flags of all the allied nations. The Snellehburg Band, playing all sorts of airs, from "Onward Christian Soldiers" to "Yankee Doodle," and the Snellenburg Red Cross Auxiliary of young women made good showings. The St. Francis do Sales Boys' Battalion, manly little fellows In uni form, won great applause. "Where Do Wo Go From Here?" was the most popular and most often heard music during all the march. Tho Foldlers and soldlers-to-be are making it as popular as "Tlpperary" was. FOIIMATION OF PARADE The official formation of the great proces sion was as follows: Time of start: 2 o'clock t. m.
