This view from the crow's nest of H. M. S. Renown, on which the Prince of Wales will make his headquarters when he visits America next month, shows some of the British fighting craft's armament and a seaplane ready to "take off" from a gun turret. The prince will make a brief visit to Washington, later visiting New York, where the Renown will be waiting in the harbor. It is believed that, following the

precedent set by King George when Pres't and Mrs. Wilson visited London, the prince will be a guest at! the white house during his stay in the capital. j

taMv which government officials have heard in a long time came in this connection, in the statement of W. (J- Lee, president of the trainmen, before the wage adjustment board. Mr. Lee told the board that an increase in wages was not the proper solution of the present economic hardships under which workingmen are laboring, because, they would be followed by new increases in the cose of everything; which would more than absorb the additional pay. Until all classes get together to stop "profiteering," he said, the only thing for every ore to do is to et all the wages he can, a course which he declared would result eventually in precipitating the "upheaval" now staring the country in the face. l'ool by Mail. As a step toward the high prices, plans are being made by Sec'y Baker, Postmaster Gen. Burleson and Rep. Kelly of Pennsylvania, to sell through the parcel post surplus armv food stocks valued at $1-4,000,-00 0. OlTlcials who attended the attor' ney general's conference declined to

discuss what took place. Mr. Palmer stated that the conference was called chiefly for the purpose of making a survey of the situation, .eveloplng any information on vhich the head of the nation's law enforcement machinery might act to curb profiteering. "It seems to be a universal pastime, putting this thing up to the attorney general," Mr. Palmer said smiling. "Kven the governors have taken to blaming this department for existing price levels." No Laws Apply. In response to questions Mr. Palmer admitted that there was no law by which prices could be lowered directly, but he declined to say whether new legislation was needed to enable the department to punish men who may be guilty of profiteering. "There is a great deal of good law on the statute books." the attorney general said. When a course of action is decided upon, the federal trade commission is undei-stood to be ready to supply the most extensive collection of industrial information ever gathered

ty any government. Production cost figures havo been obtained by the commission on industries representing $30,000,000,000 worth of capital, as the result of its activities during the war in advising the government what prices to pay for the millions of dollars of purchases made by it.

To Investigate lrofiteering. LINCOLN. Nebr., Aug. 1. The lower house of the Nebraska legislature Thursday r.i.-ht by a vote of 5C. to 14 adopted a resolution requesting Gov. McKelvy immediately at the close of the present special .-ession to ca'l an extraordinary ses

sion of the legislature to iind means ; for dealing with food profiteers audi to devise means for lowering hig!i living costs.
