Paris, Wednesday, Sept.' 7. The
ministry of provisions has issued a
decree restricting the grades of po
tatoes which starch manufacturers
may use to small or diseased po
taoes. , i'i.Y'i '
It is pointed out that if unlim
ited liberty of use were allowed
the starch manufacturers, scarcity
might be caused, giving speculators
an opportunity to inflate prices. All
sound potatoes beyond the restrict
ed size found in the starch makers
works will be requisitioned.

Hungarian Papers Agree
With Wilson's Peace Note
Amsterdam, ' Sept 7.Two Hun
garian newspapers, the Ac Est and
the Magyar Orizag, 'fully agree with
the views expressed in President
Wilson's reply to Pope Benedict's
peace proposals, to the great disgust
of the Vossische Zeitung of Berlin,
which asserts they take a view which
is almost incomprehensible. The Az
Est says: "President Wilson's reply
is to clear' that every true friend of
peace, every patriot, can endorse it.
.America adheres, in this note, with
out reserve, to the policy of peace
without annexations, which is most
important for Hungary."
The Magyar Orizag, whish is the
organ of the independence party,
says: "AH real pacifists must be
grateful to Mr. Wilson. He who. from
the ; standpoint of peace, condemns
Mr. Wilson's note, has sold his soul
to the war devil and does not wish
peace. From the Hungarian viewnoint
therefore he is the enemy of peace.".

socks and mess kits are available, but
no breeches, shirts or blouses, have
arrived. The quartermaster's depart
ment worked all night getting cloth
ing ready to issue. . Today boxes of
clothing were sent to each company
and there distributed to the men.

the first contingent of men after they
arrived here. The time is all too short
to train the first contigent to act as
non-commissioned officers and in
structors for the second contingent..
and so early tqday little knots of tour
men scattered around through camp
were being taught the rudiments of
moving their feet in unison, and walk
ing erect, witfi their chins in and
chests out.
Good Eats in Morning.
All the men had plenty of room in
the light, airy sleeping quarters last
night, and 'although they were not ac
customed to the canvas cots, and the
blue army blankets, they slept very
well. This morning they were ready
for a hearty breakfast of bacon and
eggs, bread, butter, coffee and cottage
fried potatoes. After that, it was
work.
Thursday 221 men arrived from the
various states.
As far as possible the men will be I
assigned to regiments representing
almost entirely the localities from
which they come. This will be car
ried out still further and certain local
ities will be assigned to certain bat
talions. Some regimental commanders may
even try to get the assignments down
so close as to form their com
panies from certain localities.
