8 SURPLUS SUPPLY CF SUGAR IS TO BE SOLD PEOPLE Colonel Kemper Announces 21,000,000 Pounds Are to Be Disposed Of Colonel J. B. Kemper, Army re cruiting officer for the Harrisburg district, announced to-day that the Secretary of War, acting upon rec ommendation made by the of sales, has authorised the United States Sugar Equalir-ation Board a department of the United States Food Administration, to dlspose "[ the War Department's entire surplus of granulated sugar, about 21,000,000 pounds. None Sold for Export The War Department has stipu lated that none of this supply of sugar shall be sold for export, but that all must be made ' f< £ domestic consumption with a Mew to relieving promptly the acute su trar shortage that now exists in cer tain sections of the United States. The United States Sugar Equali zation Board was selected as the medium for distribution of this su gar because, having erected during the war the machinery for the al location of the nation s sugar sup ply, It is the channel through which the War Department's surplus stock may be made available to the £ en " era! public most expeditiously and the most equitable distribution may be assured. Public to Get Benefit The export market afforded a higher figure than the War depart ment will realize through this method of marketing. Offers of 10 cents per pound had been made for the entire surplus by exporters, but the Secre tary of War, realizing that a short ar of sujrar existed In the I nlten States during the canning season, a time when the demand for sugar ia greatest, desired that the Ameri can public be given the benefit of the surplus held by the Bar Depart ment. ... _ _, The Sugar Equalization Board, through sales control, will afford the general public protection against exorbitant prices, and, through its machinery for allocation, will as sure distribution to those communi ties in which the need for sugar is most urgent. Courage Which Brought Victory Will Carry on Through Reconstruction By Associated Press. Pari*. Saturday, July 12.—1n the statement issued to the French press to-night prior to his departure for Brest. Secretary Lansing expressed belief that the courage which had carried Franch through to victory would bring her through the trying period of reconstruction. The Sec retary's statement follows: "I return home with a deep sense of what Franch has suffered in the war. but with a still deeper convic tion that the courage which brought her through to victory will carry her over the trying days of recon struction. "I think that I should say that a delay in the sailing of my steamer has brought my departure to the eve of that day so historic to France and which now is doubly consecrat ed by the first victory parade of the Allied and Associated powers. "The temptation to remain is great, but imperative necessity pre vents my doing so. The demands of peace, including the ratification of the Treaty and the Franco-Ameri cam agreement and the expansion of the work of America's Depart ment of Foreign Affairs to meet the new problems involved are no less stern than those of war, and I am ] sure that the French people, to : whom I am deeply indebted, will | appreciate better than many others the call of duty."

THOUSANDSWITNESS REVIEW OF MILITIA [Continued from First Page.] and officers' quarters of A and B Companies, both from Philadelphia, were flooded. Adjutant General Beary reviewed the brigade in the afternoon. The "Governor's review on Thursday will be the only other brigade review held during the en campment, as the regiments will be inspected and reviewed individually during the week. The troops formed in line of j masses prior to review yesterday, 1 reforming afterwards for inspection j in column of companies at close order. Immediately after the bri gade was reformed, the bands re tired to the rear of their respective regiments and as the general com pleted the inspection of each unit it was moved off the field by its commanders. General Beary stated that General Richard Coulter, of Greensburg, will probably be here to-morrow for the conference on the reorganization of the National Guard to be held on that day. Breaks Arm Cranking Car The third minor accident of the eftcampment occurred on Saturday 1 at the rifle range, where the quar | termaater corps is stationed. Pri j vate Leo A. Lutringer, Jr., of Har risburg, formerly a member of over- I seas Company C, One Hundred and ' Third Ammunition Train, and now I connected with the Quartermasters Department here, was cranking a truck when the engine "kicked," . breaking his right arm. Lieutenant ' F. R. Balcli, a physician belonging to the Second Infantry, temporarily set the fracture. Later Captain Hicks, superintendent of the State arsenal and military reservation here, took the young soldier to a I Harrisburg hospital. Private Lut j ringer returned to camp, where Captain Leo A. Lutringer. Sr.. con nected with General Beary's office in Harrisburg. is also stationed. The strange part of the acuident was the fact that Private Lutringer had gone through almost twejve months' ac tive service overseas without a scratch, only to be put "out of business" on this side by the kick of a balky motor truck. Perhaps the most unusual inci dent of the encampment so far wu that experienced by a Philadelphia boy, Private Joseph C. McClintock. when he discovered that the rifle issued to him Saturday was the same faithful companion which had gone with him through five hard fought battles in France.

London, Saturday, July 12.- —Sel- dom has any people received such a swift and vivid lesson in practical economics as the British govern ment has given this nation by the notice in the House of Commons on Wednesday that it was raising the price of coal six shillings per ton from next Wednesday. The response has been immediate and specific, and comes front almost every branch of industry in the kingdom, from steel manufacturers, managers, gas works and almost all shipbuilders, ship owners, railway sorts of manufacturers and indus tries down to laundries artd bakeries. They explain just what the govern ment order will cost their concerns and serve notice, also, that they must pass the cost on to the buyers and consumers. Kick oil Coal Increase Great export industries declare that the increase in the price of coal will handicap them in their competition with other countries and may mean, in some instances, a stoppage ot their plants and an increase in unemployment. The gen eral public is told how much the higher price of coal will inflate liv ing expenses. The government ap parently meant this to be an ob ject lesson as to what would result from the prevalent agitation for higher wages and shorter working hours. It also seems to be trying to throw cold water on the campaign for the nationalization of industries by trying to show that government management does not mean that wages can be increased and prices decreased indefinitely. I*abor has taken up the gauntlet immediately, charging the government with wish ing to kill the plan of nationalization and also declaring that the govern ment is favoring capitalists and mis representing conditions by bungling bookkeeping. The government holds that the increase of six shillings was nec essitated bv increased wages grant ed as a result of the report of the LABOR LEADERS TO SPEAK HERE Arthur Henderson, Member ot English Parliament, to Stop on Tour of Country Arthur Henderson, labor leader in England, and F. T. Hawley, of the United States Department of information and educational service, will address labor organizations of this city within a short time, ac cording to announcements made by officials of the Central Labor Union. Mr. Henderson is a member of the House of Parliament of England, and a former member of the war cabinet. He now is in this country on a lecture tour in behalf of or ganized labor. He will speak at four different points in Pennsylvania, one of them being Harrisburg. The date ot Mr. Hawley's address is likewise undetermined. J R. Hurst was elected president of the Building Trades Council, at a meeting last evening. Other offi cers elected were: C. W. Kutz, vice-president; D. S. Wenrick. re cording secretary; D. T.

This last tribute was in mem ory of 72 members of the Lafayette Kscadrllle who lost their lives during the war. JolTrc Rides Alone Marshal .loffre, the victor of the first battle of the Marne, passed under the Arc de Triomphe at 8:45 o'clock. He rode Hlone. Behind him came Marshal Foeh*. the coipmander-ln-chlef of the Allied forces during the final campaign of the conflict. A storm of applause arose from the vast throng as the two marshals passed the President's stand and down the brilliant avenue. Americans Swing By General John J. Pershing. with a number of American generals, came •next In line and was received with equal enthusiasm. Forty American or ganizations, soldiers and marines, marching with wonderful precision, were greeted by a sea of waving hand kerchiefs and flags and with deafen ing cheers. It In estimated one mil lion people went sleepless in Paris last night, three-quarters of them from choice and the others because they failed to obtain shelter. The railroad stations disgorred upon the already overcrowded city thousands of arrivals bearing loaves of bread and victuals. While the crowds on the boulevards were as dense as on armistice night, the spontaneous enthnslssm of Novem ber tl was missing. Groups were danc ing, singing and striving hard, atmost painfully, to enjoy themselvea, but the majority of the people were merely looking on from mere curiosity. Per haps ths presence everywhere of legless, armless and blinded soldiers proved a deterrent to the enthusiasm of the throngs. , TV ratling He-ads Americans General Pershing rode at the head of the American troops, which were commission headed by Sir John Sankey, and the falling off of pro duction. The present position of rail ways and mines is that there is government control with private ownership. The question agitating the coun try, particularly politicians, is whether the government proposes to adopt the demand of labor unions for naUonalization. Colonel Winston Spencer Churchill, secretary of war, told hjs constituents in Dundee dur ing an address in the last election campaign that the government had decided to nationalize the railways. Conservative members of the Lloyd George coalition cabinet opposed this bitterly and appear to have car ried the day. Andrew Bonar Law. government leader in the House of Commons, said in the House on Wednesday: "It is utterly impossi ble that on industry like coal should be subsidized out of the taxpayers' pockets." Sir Eric Geddes, speaking on the transport bill said: "The surest way to national bankruptcy is to go on subsidizing services. Each service must stand on its own legs." U. S. Competition Feared Among the statements and esti mates as to what a six shilling rise in the price of coal means, the Fede ration of British Industries, repre senting pounds in capi tal, says that engineering products must be increased in price from 3 to 10 per cent.; textiles from 3 to 4; chemicals, gas and electricity, 10; building trades steel, $6 a ton: bricks, 5 per cent., and glass from 5 to 10 per cent. Steel manufactur ers estimate their increased costs at 2 pounds per ton. American competition is feared. It is said that Americans are now selling at less than English cost prices in London. Gas companies say that their product will cost the people of London 6,000,000 potmds more per year. Inflated prices be ing England's greatest problem to day, these predictions startle peo ple. separated from the French by a space of 300 yards. General Persh ing's personal flag, a scarlet Held with a row of four white stars, was displayed for the'first time. It was borne by a mounted sergeant riding directly behind the American com mander-in-chief. Behind General Pershing rode Ma jor General H. G. Harbord, chief of-staff, followed closely by three aids, Colonel George C. Marshall, Jr., Colonel John G. Quekemeyer and Major Thurston Hughes. Behind these rode two army corps com manders, Major General Henry T. Allen and Major General John L. Hines. Next came four rows of American officers. In the first row rode Ma jor Generals Brewster, Langlitt, Mc- Glachlin, Le Jeune, Howze, Hershey and Lafltte. In the second row were Brigadier Generals Poore, Russel, Bethell, Harts, Marshall, Rice and Sladen. In the third row 1 were Brigadier Generals Mclntyre, Walk er, Cruikshank, Connor, Malin, Craig, Davis and Booth. In the fourth and last row rode Brigadier Generals Mosely, Neville, Parker, Bamford, McCoy and D. F. Craig, and Colonels John T. Knight and Collins. Triumphal Marching Stop Colonel Babcock commanded the detachment of American troops that followed. The American military band was composed of 126 men. The American troops in line con sisted of a composite battalion se lected from all the regiments of the Ameriaan Army of Occupation, formed in four companies. The first two companies in line were sepa rated from the second two by a detachment of men carrying forty regimental flags. The color-bearers and guards, numbered altogether about 200. Last in the American section of the procession came a company of 150 marines commanded by Lieu tenant Meyer. Altogether there were in line a few less than 1,500 Americans. The marchers used the "triumphal marching step" by di rection of Marshal Foch. This calls for 128 steps to the minute. The parade was viewed from ad vantageous points by about 3,000 American Army officers and enlisted men. OBSERVE BASTILK DAY New York. July 14.

Saturday the prices at which these stocks of canned and cured meats will be offered to municipalities to be re tailed to the public through markets controlled by the municipalities were announced us follows: Beef, corned, No. 1, cans, $3.60 per dozen. Beef, corned, No. 2, cans, $6.96 per dozen. Beef, corner, six-pound cans, $24 per dozen. Beef, roast, No. 1, cans, $3.48 per dozen. Beef, roast, one-pound cans, $4.92 per dozen. Beef, roast, two-pound cans, $7.92 per dozen. Beef, roast, six-pound cans, $26.40 per dozen. Hash, corned beef, two-pound cans, $4.80 per dozen. Bacon in crates, 34 cents per pound. Bacon, in twelve-pound tins, 36 cents per pound. These prices are approximately 20 per cent, below the cost of the com- I modifies to the government an<d are uniform throughout the thirteen zones in which the surplus stocks are located. Canned vegetables avail able to towns and cities will be sold to the municipalities at their invoice cost to the government. Since these goods were produced by hundreds of different canners at varying prices, the price which will be quoted to municipalities may vary somewhat in the different zones. Quotations on vegetables may be obtained from the surplus property officer at each of- the thirteen zone supply offices. Golden Opporuntty Right here in Harrisburg we are on the threshold of one of the largest distributing depots in the country at New Cumberland. Mayor I Keister and his committee could run J a line of trucks right up to the I doors which are bursting with canned goods and cured meats and dis tribute the same to the people of this city at cost. It is believed some way should be found to take ad vantage of this opportunity. Offers Credit to Municipalities A War Department statement reads: "This subsistence is offered to mu nicipalities in not less than carload lots, but at those warehouses at which stocks of vegetables and meats are stored a municipality will be permitted to purchase a mixed car load of either vegetables or meats, or both vegetables and meats. The prices quoted are F. O. B. location. The War Department cannot pay freight charges or transport the goods. The responsibility for such detail must be assumed by the mu nicipality. "To make these food supplies as accessible as possible to the general public, the War Department will permit municipalities to purchase the surplus stocks and defer pay ment until they shall have been dis ! posed of, provided this extension of ! credit shall not exceed a period of ten days after the goods shall ac tually have been delivered to the municipality. "The War Department will nego tiate only with a properly accredited official of a municipality for the sale of this subsistence. It will not con cern itself with the manner in which the municipality, having obtained the goods, shall offer it to the public, I further than to stipulate that the municipality shall sell at cost. The | municipal government is at liberty ! to conduct the sale of the foodstuffs under the direction of municipal officials or civj.c bodies to whom it may delegate authority. Inspired by the revelations being made before the subcommittee in vestigating the conduct of the war, Representative Upshaw of Georgia to-day offered a resolution in the House, directing the Secretary of Article.

S. Army Washington, D. C., July 14. With General Gerahlng due back In the United States In little more than a month, tha question of whether he or Oeners) Peyton C. March will be the chief of staff Is becoming the chief topic of discussion In Army circles. It can be suthoritstlvely ststed that President Wilson will support General Pershing, end thus ths controversy will be brought to s close, notwlthstsnding the srdent efforts of Secretary Baker In behalf of General March, who wields a strong Influence at tha War Depart " JUEY;, 1919. War to proceed immediately to sell 8120,000,000 worth of surplus food stuffs, so as to relieve the present high cost of living. It had been brought out at The hearing that Secretary Baker had declined to sell canned goods in this country because he feared that the placing on the market of the sur plus would depreciate prices and cause a number of failures among small businessmen. The hearing also developed that bacon and ham had spoiled because it had been held in unsuitable warehouses in Norfolk and Baltimore. Intolerably High "I believo that the excessively high cost of living has lingered entirely too long after the emergency of war conditions has passed," said Mr. Up shaw, "and that the holding of vast quantities of surplus foodstuffs by the Government in tho face of this condition is inexcusable. "Prices persist in remaining stub bornly and intolerably high. Meat and bread are not scarce in this country, but they are higher than they have been for a generation. I believe that the first duty of the Government is to take prompt and vigorous action in an honest effort to relieve the necessities of millions of consumers, who have borne with unmurmuring loyalty the rapid ad vance of the necessities of life, ac cepting with all good faith the state ment that It was necessary in order to feed the Army and the starving in Europe. "However worthy may have been the purpose of the Government to hold this enormous amount of food to prevent a hurtful collapse in prices, it seems to me that that policy has lasted long enough, and in the speedy solution of this problem the Government should proceed on the fundamental doctrine of the greatest good to the greatest number. The manufacturers and distributors should be considered, but the con sumers should receive first consider ation." . Up! Up!! Up!!! Appended herewith are some Philadelphia prices compared and a Harrisburg dealer says they are about the same as the prices here with a few exceptions. If there is any reason for this ter rific jump of food prices it is be lieved the Government should explain to the people so that they may know the conditions which cause the bur densome cost of living for all classes, With the raising of the embargo against shipments to Germany on Saturday it Is probable that prices may go even higher. Not only food stuffs are rising, but many other things which the people must have.

Humors to the effect that General Pershing or General March would re sign from the Army are not credited In Washington, although It la persistent ly rumored that the politicians have their eyes upon the commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Forces as a candidate for 1920 and will not permit him to remain long In the office of chief of staff.
