Taylor. United Press Staff Correspondent.

With the American Armies 'in France, Oct. 10 by mail. At a mudiiy crossroad, near Verdun, a sergeant with a deeply lined face stepped up and asked If he might ride to the next batch of ins, which he called a town. The following conversation was educational to say the least, to the occupants of the press car: "You chaps ain't seen my laundry anywhere in this part of France, have you?" the Sergeant asked. "Laundry? We didn't know there was a laundry in this part of France." "Well, there is.

and it belongs to us. At least it did yesterday. This morning I got orders to report to the corps. You see we've been transferred from the division to the corps. When I got back from headquarters the division had moved and the laundry was gone.

When they left they hitched our laundry to truck and took us with "em. We were ready fe go thouch. "Some division those Ohio lads!" "Your laundry is on wheelR, then?"

ON STORE HOURS NATION TO DIRECT DISTRIBUTION OF FOODAFFERWAR Government May Control Un til Normal Conditions Pre vail in Europe REQUEST TO PRESIDENT Administration Will Cease to Exist With Signing of Peace Armistice Washington, Nov.

S. Government direction of the distribution of food- stuffs after the wat until normaL con ditions prevail in lurope will be cpn-I tinned under the -Department of Agri culture, it Congress approves the request of President Wilson to this end- The food administration will cease to exist with the signing if the peace armistice. Herbert Hoover, United States food administrator, has expressed his desire to be relieved of his duties as soon as possible. is considered certain that i the machinery of the food tion will be turned over to the Depart-! of Agriculture. Kfforts of the government will continue to be aimed at the maximum production of food in America, and the practice of conservation so that the greatest supply of foodstuffs be made available for shipment to' Europe.

Naturally however, with the expiration of the food administration, price agreements with farmers will also terminate unless Congress grants new price fixing powers to the government It has been said that after more urgent appeals for patriotic action In food conservation must be exerted inasmuch as there is no efficient method of policing. Food administration rules are now in force because of the efforts of patriotic people who have been ready to teptirt violations of the food regulations. "When peace comes," said Hoover, "the natural inclination will be to let down un conservation and it would be impossible to continue the present effective policing." The Department of Agriculture, with Its machinery of obtaining exact information regarding the activities of the farmers will be able to Intelligently advise the agricultural and animal producers as to the greatest food requirements and abtaln their co-oper ation.

The war industries board also is likely to be continued some time after the war. possibly as a bureau of the war department.

Depleted of fresh troops as they I are, the Germans would have to form I two separate reserve armies, one to act in France and the other in Belgium, If von Hindenburg were to cling still longer to both French and Belgian soil. Strategically the difficulty of this task is immensely Increased by the fact that the Americans now have under gun fire the principal lines ot coni-municatioti. Xecding the German front in France. Eveii a brief prolongation of the war would compel the Germans to evacuate all of France. While still trying to hold central and eastern Belgium, yon would have to admit the tJ Hindenburg allies into Germany before the end of the year through Luxemburg and Lorraine.

Therefore while the kaiser and his militarists are considering Marshal Foch's armistice terms they know that rejection of the demand for unconditional surrender will, mean a quick of the Fatherland. If they de- occupation of strategic points within Germany by the Allied, armies, the kaiser is well aware that the Allies can seize these points by right of conquest. Therein Is the reason why the Germans must now throw up their hands. DISUNITED GROUPS i 1 REPUBLICANS CLAIM THE II. S.

SENATE BY A MAJORITY OF TWO So Called 'Progressives' in I the Upper Branch Will Hold the Balance of Power WILL SWING THE VOTE Interest Now Centers in the! Course to be Pursued on Reconstruction Issues By C. L. Martin. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Washington, Nov. 9.

With almost complete returns from Tuesday's elec- tions indicating the Senate will be Republican by a majority of two. the so-i called "Progressives" in the upoer branch will hold the balance of power I when the Senate convenes next March. According to indications today TfTere will be 43 Senators on the Republican side and 47 on the Democratic side.

It la on new reconstruction measures, however, that the progressives will get their opportunity to wield the greatest influence. They can beat any measure by filibustering against it. They can put through a progressive Itw because both Democrats and Republicans will be eager to please them to keep their support.
