NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS All Government Forces Concentrating on Fight Against High Cost of Living. FOODS IN STORAGE SEIZED Test Case Against Alleged Sugar Hoarders—Labor Situation Is Little Improved—Kolchak's SiberiP an Armies in Flight—Roumanians in Hungary , Defy Allied Commission. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Spurred on by the welcome, if longdelayed action of the chief executive, all available forces of, the federal government are devoting themselves to the tasfc of reducing the cost of living, and. they are receiving the enthusiastic co-operation of state and municipal bodies and officials all over 4he country. Attorney General Palmar sent out Instructions and authority to confiscate at once hoarded food stocks, and large quantities of foodstuffs in warehouses •were seized in Chattanooga, Tampa. Jacksonville, Fla.; Fort Sam Houston. Tex., fnd other places. In every case, (according to Mr. Palmer’s instructions, the names of the hoarders and the amounts of food seized were made public, for it was thought the publicity would result in the immediate release of excessive amounts of foodstuffs that have been withheld from consumption. The attorney general centered his attention especially on Chicago, not only because it is the greatest food storage centef of the world, font- because he had learned the speculators there had been particularly and perniciously active. The Chicago packers, naturally, are the chief targets, because they are alleged to be in control of the cold-storage business, not only there but all over the country. This they deny. Senator McKellar has introduced a bill for federal regulation of cold-storage plants and In supporting it he told of the vast amounts of poultry, eggs and butter In storage and of the apparent exorbitant profits made on those commodities by some middlemen. Louis Swift says he has been,and is in favor of regulation of storage methods; and President Horn of the American Refrigerating association asserts his organization would not object to reasonable regulatory measures, but that ■most of the suggested plans are too drastic. The government’s fight against the (sugar hoarders also centered in Chiicago, and the first test case is that ingainst the officials of the Central Vulgar company who were arrested a week or more ago. Henry H. Rolapp, head of the sugar distribution committee of the food administration, said ■the situation was serious, as canners ©nd dealers were clamoring in vain (for sugar. The railway etrike entered into this, as 20,000,000 pounds of sugar was delayed in California by lack of cars. Mr. Rolapp (said that in a few days the arrival of cane sugar from New Orleans and beet sugar from the West would flood the market. The entire food crusade had its effect on retail prices, in some instances only slight and in others, notably potatoes, very marked. The federal agents intend to go after the retail grocers and butchers for profiteering, as well as after the bigger game, and (before long the suffering consumer (may get relief that will actually affect Shis bank roll. In Boston a grand jury Investigation elicited the rather surprising information that the American people demand «hoes of high grade and high price and scorn the cheaper grades, of which the manufacturers say they have large the statement of a Berlin paper that "/American shoe dealers are making (strenuous efforts to find a suitable

NEEDS PERIOD OF SECURITY Chinese Foreign Minister Ranks That Above the Question of Finance for His Country. / London. —“China wants a period of security against exploitation and the elimination of further domination by foreign powers. This security, we think, has not yet been assured by the treaty of Versailles. China wants to develop after her own ideals, not those of some foreign power.”

market for their goods in Germany, The witnesses in Boston said their margin of profit was no larger than when,shoes were selling at much lower prices, and that a decline might be expected, perhaps a year hence. The British, too. are attacking the cost of living problem with vigor. The house of commons had before it a bill to curb profiteering, and after a hard fight the measure was amended so as to empower the board of trade, after an investigation, to fix wholesale and retail prices. Sir Auckland Geddes, minister of national service, said this would operate in cases where communities~were likely to be bled by any combination, national or international, for the purpose of raising prices; and Andrew Bonar Law made it clear that the government had'no intention of establishing a general system of pricefixing throughout the country. Belgium is suffering, like most of the rest of the world, and the labor party there has suggested to the prime minister a series of measures to arrest «the increasing prices of necessaries, to encourage the home growing of food and to insure »he equal distribution of imports. The party wants the government to fix the prices of foodstuffs and to control the prices of coal and clothing. Baris was the scene of some lively scrapping last week between the food vendors In the markets and the price vigilance committees and would-be purchasers. The committees endeavored to prevent foodstuffs bought by the hotels a’d other large consumers from les'lug the markets, asserting that the willingness of those buyers to pay any prices, however high, resulted in the .«>sing of all prices. During the fighting many stalls and shops were looted. The labor situation In the United States did not show marked improvement. Tn spite of all efforts to make them return to work, the striking railway shopmen in many localities were obdurate, and the officers of their international union were compelled to threaten them with expulsion from the union If they did not resume their labors. Then delegates representing 500,000 shopmen met in Chicago and voted to gp back to work. Before August 25 a general strike of steel workers throughout the country’ may be declared. The men have been taking a vote on the question in all the plants. They demand $1 an hour, a 44-hour week and better working conditions. Such a strike will affect more than a million men. As congress has not yet acted on the Plumb plan, the railway brotherhoods are waiting. Meanwhile the Plumh plan is getting some very hard knocks from industrial and railway experts, some of whom assert It would increase the cost of living. Charles Plez says the Plumb bill is about as bad as it could be made, adding: “As a shipper and citizen, I should like to be told what advantage or profit the public will get outside of the privilege of paying the yearly deficit.” Mr. Plumb told the house committee on interstate commerce that he either had or could procure evidence proving that a systematized plundering of all the railroads has .been conducted under the direction of the Morgan and Rockefeller banking interests. More interesting than Important was the strike of the members of the Actors’ Equity association, which, starting in New York, spread to Chicago. A number of theaters in both cities were forced to close their doors. The actors demanded recognition of their association and various reforms in the conditions of working. The dispute was carried into court by injunction'proceedings. A situation arose at the Chicago stockyards which may teach union laborers a lesson in the matter of observing their contracts. Federal Judge Alschuler, mediator, ruled that the employees who quit work during the recent race riots had violated their pledge not to strike for one year and thus had lost their seniority rights. Union officials objected violently to this, but it seemed likely most of the packing house workers would abide by Judge Alschuler’s rulings, for the present at least. In New York 1,200 interior decorators quit work; and representatives of

The foregoing declarations were made in an exclusive interview granted to a representative of the International News Service by Lou Tseng-Tslang, Chinese foreign minister, who has just left for Paris after a visit to London to present the respects of the Chinese president to King George and distinguished members of the British government. Replying to a question as to what is China’s greatest need today, the Chinese foreign minister said: “Most of the people I have talked

21 international building trades unions began planning for a national strike because of a dispute there between two unions of plasterers. Considerable uneasiness, not to say anxiety, was caused in the capitals of the allied nations by the news that the Kolchak government of western Siberia was “on the run” if not quite collapsed. The bolshevik armies gained repeated victories over Kolchak's forces, apd at last reports the latter were hastily moving eastward. The admiral's plight was laid to shortage of guns and ammunition, and large supplies of both were dispatched to him from the United States byway of the Pacific ocean. Whether they would reach him in time to save his troops from disaster was uncertain. Better news came from both north and south Russia. On the Dvina a force of British and RtfUaians destroyed six battalions of bolsheviki, taking 1.000 prisoners and many guns and advancing its front 12 miles. In Volhynia the Ukrainians have taken the railway* center of Lutsk and the fortress of Dubno, and the bolsheviki also abandoned the Important city of Vinnitsa in the Ukraine. General Denikine’s armies were making steady progress toward Odessa and at the northwest corher of the Black sea they were only 50 miles from a junction with the Roumanian forces. The Roumanians who occupied Budapest, were a stubborn lot and flatly refused to take orders from the allied commission there and get cut again, declaring they would remain until a stable government was established. The'peace coua.cll at Paris was a bit flabbergasted and feared that if Romfiania were permitted to defy its orders, Germany- and other enemy countries might be encouraged to do likewise. The Roumanians threatened that if they were forced to withdraw they would strip Hungary of everything portable, and indeed they are said to be doing that now. Their representatives in Budapest said the only policy for Hungary was union with Roumania under a Roumanian king. Antonesco, the Roumanian minister to Paris, says Roumania-does not favor the installation of Archduke Joseph in power, considering him reactionary. The sitpation was strained but the peace council was hopeful of an amicable settlement. According to an edict of the peace conference', Austria is to be known as the Republic of Austria, the word “German” being eliminated. There is a movement in Vienna to re-estab-lish the monarchy, 'but the entire armed forces of the country, there and in other cities, are demanding that the republican form of government be »e---talned. After long delay, the British government has found a man to represent it in Washington, but only temporarily. Viscount Grey has agreed to fill the post of ambassador until a permanent appointment has been made, early next year. Great responsibility attaches to the position just now, for financial and treaty relations between the two countries must be readjusted. The London press predicts that he will have some difficulties, and the Daily New’s says his path will not be smoothed by the British government’s “sustained refusal to make any approach to a solution of the Irish problem.” Presumably Viscount Grey will come over soon and will be in Washington when the prince of Wales visits our national capital. That young man landed in .Newfoundland and is now making a triumphal tour of Canada. The death of Andrew Carnegie removed one of the few survivors of an industrial age that has passed when men of vision made Incredibly large fortunes in ways that were not considered reprehensible. His avow’ed desire to die a poor man was not realized, for though he gave away more than $350,000,000, it is believed he left an estate worth nearly $500,000,000. Henry Ford’s libel suit against the Chicago Tribune resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff, who w'as awarded nominal damages—6 cents. The trial of the case had lasted many weeks, affording pecuniary profit to a few perl sons and amusement to still fewer.

China expects the friendly nations, particularly America, to give her a period of security—a period during which she can reconstruct her administration, which, above all, is very important" Dr. Lou indicated that it would be asking too much from him to predict what would be the result from the widening boycott of Japanese goods throughout China
