tagr&tioB of Main Factor in Yal- j
lies i
Washington, Aug. 7.?President;
Wilson turned his attention today to
the subject of war prices and paid a 1
I>ersona] visit to the federal traae'
CU Ulgc CAjJCUillUII UI All- j
vestigations to ascertain the cost of
producing materials required by the!
government.
At the president's direction tne^
commission has undertaken Inquiries
to determine production cost on most
of the basic supplies needed for val-j
uses, including coal, coke, steel, Iron. |
petroleum, tin, aluminum, wire, zinc, |
copper, lead, cement, lumber and
their derivatives. Preliminary reports
will be forthcoming within a
lew weeKS. Announcemern. 01 a uennite
policy respecting war purchase?
and prices probably will be made
Boon. War profits will be kept to a
minimum and if producers and manufacturers
evince any reluctance to
supply the country's war needs at
reasonable prices the government's
power to commandeer materials will
fce invoked.
Although the proposal is meeting
determined opposition the administration
intends that the allies shai:
share with this government In r?nluc-/vtafe
frtr .ammKes It. is realied.
however, that heavy government purchases
will tend to raise prices to
private consumers. The administration
desires to keep prices generally
down without resort to legislation.
Trade commission officials admft
thetr investigation of production
costs are proceeding slowly. This Is
?iue, it is said to the fact that a great
fewtfeoi of work has been thrown on
tee commission for which it was
ipeerly prepared. -1
The commission some time ago began
inquiries into the fuel and Ium
fcer industries and data on production
?osts of these materials will be reacy
cooa. Although charged only with an
investigation of costs it is entirely
likely the commission will make suggestions
as to what it considers r&ir
prices for materials and that the war
fcoard will follow closely its recoa
aaaecdations.

etrength 10 infantry strength. Ma
chine gun units are also increased
ana when the order is put into effeC
an American division will be smaliei
! but made up of units practically tlin
! same as those used by the allies. Thl.j
will provide for many more majci
generals.
I The ratio of artillery strength t<
| infantry strength is greatly increas
! ed. reads the statement. A divisioT
j will hereafter include only rour in
1 fantry regiments in two brigades Ir
; place of the old division of three t>rl
gades, each comprising thTee regl
j ments of infantry. There will still D<
| three regiments of field artillery t<
every four regiments of infantry In
stead of the ratio of three to nine. Ii
addition a trench mortar battery >.
1 attached to each division.
Better Firing
j The machine gun arm is also ma
| terially enlarged. A machine gun bat
talion of four companies has Deei
made a unit of each division, in ad<li
tion to the three machine gun com
panies included to each regiment.
I j
The American division will be mad'
| by thi-s order to conform practical 1;
! to the units utilized by the entente
t
j allies, among whom a division nuni
! bers approximately 19,000 men. Th
reason for the change is that the ai
{ vision as heretofore made up of abou
j 28,000 men is too unweildy for the fie
| mands of trench warfare. With s<
\ large a unit, sure and swift commun
' ication with all parts is difficult. Th
, problem to be met was basicly on
i of mobility for the peculiar needs o
, fighting on the western front.
' The smaller sized divisions call to
maintenance of all units at full fight
ing strength. For this purpose re
serve battalions will be provided
i These will consist of 612 men each an*
. are listed in ike general order a
"separate training battalions." Th<
. number of these battalions has no
j been made public. Details of regl
j mental organization are also with
held for military reasons.
| Entirely New
i The new order provides for arm:
i corps and armies, units which ha**<
practically existed only on ^pape:
since the Civil war, Corps were or
S?mzed during the Spanish war bu
werp. not actually operated as such i<
any great extent.
Bach army corps will consist o:
three infantry divisions, corps headquarters.
and certain army corps
troops not specified. Each army wil
normally consist of three or mor<
army oorps, headquarters and certair
aranv tmrtM not SDecified.
Under the new order, each infantry

ALLIES HATE OF YICTORT
r
By Karl H. Von Wiegand
The last American newspaper man
to leave Berlin, who has just arrived
3 from the Scandinavian countries,
s New York, Aug. 7.?The United
e States is going into the world war
t has undertaken the "biggest job" 112
- the history of our country. The Amer
- can people nave not yet awaKenea
to the "bigness" of that job, the seriousness
of that task nor the heavy
? sacrifices in American lives an'l
5 American treasure that undertaking
r calls for and will demand of oar
- country, unless peace should come
t before the United States gets into tne
> war with "both feet." America does
not yet realize what war?modern
' war?terrible, horrible in every as
pect, means. Those are the impresJ
sions that strike one forcibly upon
1 arrival here from Europe,
i! To Ftefct
1 In 1915 Crown Princess Cecilia remarked
to me in a hospital where she
was visiting wounded; "Isnt it better
J and nobler that a man die for love
- of country than for hatred of tne
enemy?" Blind hatred, verbal machine
gunfire at the enemy, the hurl,
ing of epithets across the broad Atlantic
and screaming head lines over
. news too often deceptive or wholly
i
untrue, will not defeat the enemy, nor
bring the end of the war, which every
person with any human feelings
must certainly desire, any closer.
Germany is not yet defeated.
Whether with the defection of Russia,
who to all practical purposes is
out of the game, at least for this year
a fact which no amount of "news"
and phrases can alter, the condition
in Italy, the failure of the SaloniTci
j expedition, the terrible losses and
| suffering sustained by France, whether
with all this and the seriousness
of the U-boat war, Germany can now
at this late date be militarily dej
feated is a question over which ex
I perts may differ. There can, howj
ever, be no difference that if Geri
many can be militarily defeated and
is so to be defeated, that the United
Vi rk in-nif olH ftfatpa a Tone

can now achieve that result.

J Stories that Germany is now comj
pelled to use mere boys and old men
to fig-bt her battles hare cropped up
again in the dispatches of the last
days. Such stories are misleading

many's strongest "pillar," even after
three years of war. I have seen ths
war from the German and Austrian

of the war. At the same time malting

of B. F. Neves, a wealthy citizen or

Governor Manning, offering- himself

? Each man's story of the shooting
' differs in some mariner from the story
told by the others. The best info^!
mation obtainable seems to be that
i
. the seven men who are now under arrest
were in an automobile coming to
j Greenville when the car passed
I Neves. It is understood that the hat
of one o? the men in the car t)lew off.
at this time and fell in the road..
Neves dismounted from his horse and
| picked up the hat, starting toward
1 the car with it. What happened dur1
ing the interval while the men were
r
; with Neves in the road could not be
' learned. A shot was beard and the
men returned to the car and came on
to Greenville. Neves was found a
, few minutes later lying in the road
