Washington.—President Wilson laid
several specific proposals before Con
gress for checking the high cost of
living, but at the same time declared
permanent results could not be ex
pected until peace time bases were
fully restored by ratification of the
peace treaty.
High prices, th* President told Cdk
gress, were not Justified by shortagO
of supply, either present of prospec
tive, but were created in many, cases
fartificially and deliberately" by "vi
cious practices." Retailers, he said,
were responsible la large part for ex
tortionate prices.
Strikes, the President warned the
labor world, would only make matters
worse and those who sought to em
ploy threats or coercion were only
"preparing their own destruction."
Leaders of organised labor, the Presi
dent said, he was sure would present
ly yield to second sober thought.
"Illegal" and "criminal" were the
words the President used In charac
terislng the methods by Which some
present dsy prices have been brought
about
Present laws, he said, would be en
ergetically employed to the limit to
force out food hoards, and meet the
situation so far as possible, but to sup
plement the existing statutes he spe
cifically urged the following:
Specific Recommendations.
Licensing of all corporations en
gaged In Interstate commerce, with
specific regulations designed to se
cure competitive selling and prevent
"unconscionable profits" In the meth
od of marketing. -j ;
Extension of the food control act to
peace times and the application of Its
provisions against hoarding to fuel,
slothing and other necesltles of life
as well as food.
A penalty In the food control act for
profiteering.
A law regulating cold storage, lim
iting the time during which goods
■nay be held, prescribing a method ot
disposing of them If held beyond the
permitted period and requiring that
when released goods bear the date
of storage.
Laws requiring that goods released
from storage (or Interstate commerce
bear the selling price* at which they
went into storage and requiring that
all goods destined for Interstate com
merce bear the prices at which they
left the hands of the producer.
Enactment of the pending bill for
the control of security Issues.
Additional appropriations for gov
ernment agencies which can supply
the public with frill Information as to
prices at which retailers buy.
Jiarly ratification of the peace treaty
so that the "free processes of supply
and demand" can operate.
Immediate Stepe Promised.
Immediate steps by executive agen
eles of the government promised by
the President Included:
The limiting and controlling of
wheat shipments and credits to facili
tate the purchase of wheat in such a
way as nOt to raise, but rather to
lower the price of flour at home.
Sale of surplus stocks of food and
clothing In the hands of the govern
ment.
The forced withdrawal from rtoroge
and sale of surplus stoclsa in private
hands.
General Recommendations.
General recommendations included;
Increase of production.
Careful buying by housewives.
Fail dealing with the people on Ike
part of producers, middlemen Bad
Merchants.
That \here be no threate and undos
insistence upon the Interests of a tin
gle class.
Correction of "many things" in the
relation between capital and labor In
respect to wages and conditions of la
bor.
In concluding the President made a
plea for deliberate, Intelligent action,
reminding Congress that an unbal
anced world was looking to the United
States.
"We and we almost alone," he said,
"now bold the world steady. Upon
our steadfastness and self pMseeslon
depend the affairs of nations every
where. It Is In this supreme crisis—
this crisis for all mankind —that Amer
ica most prove her metal."

HIS BENEFACTIONS IMMENSE
Peace, Charity and Education Are the
Chief Beneficiaries of the Dead
Multi-millionaire.
Lenox, Mass.—Andrew Carnegie,
ironmaster and philanthropist, died in
his great mansion overlooking a lake
in the beautiful Berkshire hills, where
he sought seclusion when bodily in
firmity overtook him and his mind
was saddened by the entrance of hi*
country into the world war.
Although he had been in feeble
health for more than two years, hi*
final illness was brief—a matter of
days. A severe cold developed
quickly into bronchial pneumonia,
the aged patient lapsed into uncon
aciousness and the end came as
though it were but the beginning of
a deeper sleep.
When Mr. Carnegie returned to
hi* summer home las,( spring, it wan
evident to his intimate* that the
once great industrial leader wa* a
broken man and that any slight in
disposition might have a fatal end.
However, the air of the Berkshire*
and the seclusion afforded ni his
beautiful estate appeared to benefit
him and he exhibited occasional
flashes of the old exuberance that had
made him a cheerful companion for
so many years.
Peace, charity and education are
the three institution* that have bene
fited most from the va*t donationa
of Andrew Carnegie. He erected hi*
own memorial* in the 3,000 librariea
that perpetuate hi* name throuhgout
the world, in the *» 1,500,000 temple of
peace at The Hague, Holland, in hia
hero, peace and educational funds.

Blise regarding the Shantung prob

garded the letter as confidential since
it contained certain references to
other governments.

HE TELLS WHAT HE

tt sometimes takes the new-comer

korn la often too close to the situa

Deans US the world today. He la used
to all that It offers, taking It as a mat
ter of course, and frequently loses the
rlslon In sordid detail; while the
new-comer—but listen to what one of
them had to say.
He Is George E. Illhfcany of the
1919 class of the Boston High School
#f Commerce and he came to this
oountry from his native tond, Syria,
when he was 10 years old. In a fuur
mlnute speech on the value of War
Savings Stamps, given at the school
recently, he snld In closing:
"Hate Is not characteristic of the
American people, but the Germans
taught us unwillingly how to hate
tlrem .Vow It Is a sin not to hate the
spirit the Hun showed and not to abol
ish It from tho face of the earth. Of
the latter we are positively sure, be
cause the American passion for Jus
tice Is a hundred times stronger than
was the Oerman passion for conquest.
"I never entertained the Idea of be
coming an orator and I am sure that
I lack oratorical ability, but such
qualifications are unnecessary on au
occasion like this, because the only
and best Inducement to a true Ameri
can Is the call of his duty and govern
ment, and not even the best oration of
the greatest speaker of all times.
"Whether we all realise It or not,
we are now In the midst of a period
which will he known to all t#e op
pressed peoples of the world as the
American liatlon porlod. Now Is the
time for every one of us to prove
whether he Is a sham American or a
genuine American."
The practice of tjkflft P" r '

now jfood Indications of the genuine
American. They make for financial

Various ways (or prospective lavee
tors to detect the unscrupulous stock
promoters are contained In a bulletin
reoently Issued by the National Vigi
lance Committee or the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the World. The
bullotln Indicates several unmistaka
ble signs of the "wild cat" stook ped
dleis which owners of War Saving*
Stamps and Liberty Bonds will do well
to consider before eichanglng their
valuable securities for the offering*
of northern docks. The warning to
prospective investors Is as follows:
"So far as w* have been able to as
certain not • single case haa ever been
reported where the promoter* of a l»
Ultimate, worthy tnterpilse have of
fered to take Liberty Bonds In pay
ment for the capital stock of a new
company. We bellevo that the very
offer to take Liberty Bonds should
piompt the bond owner to consult a
banker or legitimate broker as to the
value of the stock that Is offered In
escbange for the bonds. The offer to
exchange Is an earmark which should
serve as a warning.
"Another earmark of the faker Is
his attitude when it Is proposed to
postpone action pending an Investiga
tion. He will usually snoer at the
thought of consulting a banker or
broker of standing, suggesting that,
of course, they would not recommend
the stock because they have stocks of
their own to sell.
"In such a case the prospective in
vestor might be sensible enough to
remember that It is the one who casta

standing who Is likely to he the fly-
