BARUCH EXPLAINS PROGRAM
Chairman of War Industries
Board Explains Plan to
National Retailers.
A COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED
Clothiers Name Members to
Make Agreement on Suits,
and Other Articles.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 3 Prices
and distribution of practically all
articles of wearing apparel are to be
controlled by the war Industries
board. Hegulatlons issued yesterday
prescribing certain fixed prices for
shoes constituted only the first step
In a general policy for prl; control
of clothing.
That wax disclosed today by Chair
man Jlarucli of the board in an ad
dreits at a special meeting of Ihe
National Retail Dry Goods aa.40cl
atinn. Referring to the putting Into
effect of the agreement between the
board and the shoe industry, Mr
llaruch said:
"After that will have to come the
regulation and distribution of most
all of the things which you gentle
men have to deal with. I don't wart
you to say it can't be done, because
It must be done. It Is unthinkable
that only the man with the longest
pneketbook can get the things that
he needs."
The retailers were called unon bv
Chairman Baruch to take the prod
uct or the manufacturer whd tn
some extent, has his prices regulated
and limited amounts allocated to
him," with the determination to dis
tribute It "in some fair and equitable
way, seeing that as far as possible.
each individual gets his share and
ij: at a price that Is fair.-
"When It comes to the question of
a fair price." Mr. Baruch continued.
that It difficult to answer. I should
say roughly that a fair price Is some
thing like the normal profits In
normal time. I know you will all
say that these are abnormal times.
They are,, and we haere got to do
abnormal and new things."
To meet the renucat that represen
tatives be named t confer with the")
war Industries board In matters of
distribution and price control, the
association appointed a war service
committee.
Though no details of the plan to
be followed in controlling clothing
prices has been announced by the
board, it Is believed that the general
policy adipted in fixing the prices
of shoes will be followed. Standard
prices for standard grades of men's
and women's suits, hats and other
articles of clothing probably will be
established by agreement with manu
facturers and retailers.
By the agreement reached by the
board and the shoe industry, addi
tional details of which were made
public today, the program and vtyles
and shoes under the regulated price
plan will conform to that announced
by the board In June, whereby both
styles and colora were restrloted.
A number of manufacturers al
ready 'have started work on the
standardised grades. Tb
prevent
Joes to manufacturers of high priced
shoes, the agreement provides that
shoes retailing for more than $12,
the maxlmuari fixed price, which al
ready have Been manufactured, may
be sold until June, 1919. after that
date It will be Impossible to buy
ready-made shoes for more than $12.
For low shoe of the type usualjy
worn in the summer months the
maximum price will be $11. .

KING ALBERT DRIVES WEDGE
operations of Solillcr-Klng Are
(milted With Causing German
Retreat Now in l ull Swing.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. -The
German retrcut from the Hinden
burg line waa In full swing today,
menaced by the French, Belgian
and IlrltlMh thruUi at vital polnta.
While official reports told only of
me evacuuiion or Armentieres and
Letts' officers here confidently ex
pected that this phase of the with
drawal must be expanded to the
south nt once under the threat of
the British push northeastward from
their lines between the Scarpa and
Cambral. As evidence of the com
plete confidence with which the al
lied leaders have studied the future
ever since It became certain that
the I'nlted Stales would succeed In
getlng a great army to France for
the fighting this year; It la now
known that re-occupation of the
Lens coal fields has been definitely
figured on for some months In com
puting fuel needs and supplies.
There also are Indications that
American coal mining units, equip
ped with the most up-to-date ma
chinery, even with ''the means of
fighting possible fires In the work
ings, will be ready to enter the
mines as rapidly as the armies force
the enemy beyond them. General
Pershing's forces, no doubt, will get
some part of their coal this winter
from this source, relieving the ship
ping situation to that extent
Albert Causes Retreat.
The force that compelled the
German leaders to order the evacua
tion of the LensArmentieres front
undoubtedly, in military opinion
here, was the wholly unexpected
rush In Belgium In which the Bel
gian army Itself, tinder command
of Its soldler-klng, formed tha spear
head that broke the way for awVt
expansion of the victory by Frsnoh
and British forces. There appears
to be little doubt now that King
Albert will be able to re-establish
his capital on Belgian soil this win
ter, i
Standing on the flank of the Ger
man communication system from
Armentieres to the Immediate vi
cinity of Courtal, General Plant
er's second British army Is believed
to hold thf key to a wide stretch of
territory now In enemy hands.
Extension of the Franco-Belgian
drive north of General Plumer'a
line, however, would permit tha
British commander. to move forward
to the southeast In a wide encircl
ing movement For that reason It la
thought a new drive Is to be antici
pated on the Routers front wfth
large French or British forces sup
plementing the work of the Belgian
armies. It has been reported al
ready that an entire French army
has been shifted to this front.
Donal May Fan Soon.
The evacuation of Lens fore
shadows the ear'y fall f Doual, al
ready closely pressed from the
south. It is now clear that the
grand strategy of Marshal Foch
contemplated pinching tha enemy
out' of the whole Lllle-Doual sector
and the abnormal quiet that has pre
vailed along the Lens front up to
now la explained. The supreme
commander la today realizing the
full success of that plan.
It Is believed here also that tha
evacuation of Lens and Armentieres
had no place In the Immediate Ger
man plana a week ago. On the con
trary there aeemed every reaaon for
this barrier on the flank to be held
and the first admission by th enemy
that the Hindenburg line waa broken
came with the beginning of his with
drawal Just west of Rhelms. it Is
apparent, therefore, that the plans
of the German general staff for
gradually falling back from tha most
exposed' position In the center and
retiring along the wmSle front from
a snctor at a time already has been
shattered. "
