Bt ft (I, 1 nv 1 ygj: UncIeSamWillBllin Fight on Profiteers A Washington dispatch, dated Oct, 11, says: Prosecution by tho fodoral government of profiteers in all parts of 'tho country wore boing planned hero tonight as tho rosult of action by congross today In finally approving additional authority neodod. Evidence, it is known, has boon col lected by tho department of justice in many communities in anticipation of tho passage of tho additional legis lation, which consists' of amendments to tho fodoral control act, and it is tho plan to Attornoy Gonoral Palmor to instituto proceedings against prof iteers simultaneously in all parts of ctfn m 1 i ' m THIS 'SMOKE I HAS ME DIZZYJ fAl the country imediately upon tho sign ing of tho legislation by tho Presi dent. -Palmer has stated that ho intends to make "conspicuous examples of tho worst profiteers in each locality, be lieving that other dealers, seoing that tho government means business, will stop exacting exorbitant profits. The food control amendments wero sent to tho President today after brief debates in both houses, tho votes 'in. the senate boing viva voce, while in tho house a roll call showed 207 in favor of their final paosage and eight against. Tho amendments allow tho depart ments of justice to prosecute all prof iteers, whereas under tho original food control act, dealers with an an nual business of less than $100,000 wore immune. The dopartme t of justice plans to devote considerable attention to the petty profiteers, be cause of reports showing that retail prices have adv need, slifehtly, while wholesalo prices have been reduced. Another amendment gives the gov ernment authority to regulate 'cloth ing prices, which have shown a large advance since last spring. Another gives the same power 6ver food con tainers. The legislation makes it certain that a fine f $5,000 or imprisonment for two years hangs over the heads of the violator of any section of the food control act, whereas penal provisions were lacking for some sections of the original law.

DON'T WANT IIUGE ARMY The Baker bill for army reorgan ization, familiarly known in Washing ton as tho War Department bill, is moving Blower with each succeeding week and the time may be close at hand when it will cease to move at all. The testimony Major-General L. Sibort against the measure follow ing that of other capable military men beforo the House Military Affairs Committee lengthens the already long line of objectors and criticisms of the bill to perpetuate the war time auto cracy of the general staff. Congress man McKenzie of Illinois is reported to have informed General Sibert that funeral services will soon be held over the War Department military bill as one reason for soliciting the general's opinion on reorganization which was given unreservedly against autocracy by the general staff and a big army. There may be some doubt whether in the stress of the fight in Washing ton, political and military, the house committee and many congressmen may not have overlooked the one real reason for the general satisfaction Lthe defeat of the Baker plan will pro vide ror tne greater proportion of tho general public. Members of military committees and array officers of vari ous grades .may have professional reasons for desiring the substitution of a different scheme of reorganiza tion. The general American citizen ship is more interested in one point than In all others combined that the defeat of war department meas ure and others of similar character will save the United States from 'the dangers that inevitably accompany a great military machine. Whatever may have been the mental reserva tions of others during, the war tho American public was sincere in its hostility to militarism, and naturally rocoiled from the movement which had every appearance of turning the United States into a militaristic, na tion. That is of more importance in the popular mind than any of the hair line distinctions as to the seat of greatest authority under anv hill The American people want no huge army lujsuiuiuBB oi lisv directors, or their individual v-idoas.
