TO REU
OF:
WASHINGTON, Sept 7. Congress
man McArthur attended a conference
yesterday of the mohair war indus
trie boaru. The failure of representa
tives of the Mohair Growers' and Pro
ducers' association to reach an agree
ment with the government on prices
for this fall's domestic clip of mohair,
r s i 1 t e d in an announcement
through Lewis Penwell. chief of the
wool section of the war Industries
board, that the price will not now be
fixed, and the government releases
the fall clip.
Jt waa represented to Mr. Penwell
that the cost of production was
around $1 a pound. Growers and
producers said that a price less than
85 cents a pound would be ruinous.
Mr. Penwell explained that, while the
government needed the fall domestic
clip, it could get along without It
and the government did not feel justi
fied In paying to the groweis the
price they were asking.
Penwell hoped that the mohair
growers could take care of them
selves by selling direct, or nearly di
rect, to the manufacturers, and that
speculators would try to take advan
tage of the situation to profiteer and
thus force the government to take
k other actions.

Reames be given the fall confidence
and support of organized labor until
labor could present proof that he was
not entitled to its support.

PACKINGHOUSES
ARE IN DANGER
OF U.S. CONTROL
trcops brigaded with the British and
French have been withdrawn and are
being assembled at a point he did not
designate. This accounts for the
small number of Americans engaged
in the present forward movement of
the allies.
The situation on the western front
General March said, Is more satisfac
tory than It has been In mouths. Good
progress Is being made, he said, and
the outlook Is bright.
At no point along the front where
the present battle Is rrglng are the
allies more than 12 mile's from the
Hiiidetiburg line, while upon the up
per part of this line has been pierced
by the British troops. ,
The committee was old that there
are now between 9000 and 10,000
American troops with tho British
forces .
Because of the gradual withdrawal
of American troops which have been
briguled with French and British
forces, the senators said they were
told, only one division the 32d Is
now engaged In tho present battle.

of tho German population aud wide

The correspondent says that Informa
tion reaching lilui Is so sensational as
to inspire skepticism, but declares
that he has received corroboratlou
from nuthoratlve sources which es
tablishes the authenticity of tho In
formation.
He asserts that the German army
is filled with despondency and seeth
ing with mutinous spirit, and that
alarming outbreaks have occurred In
several units, principally Bavarian
and Slleslan. One incident of tho
Arrna front terminated In a whole
Bavarian division being disarmed and
transported to Bavaria, where It was
placed In a prison camp, aud the mu
tiny of one of the Slleslan regiments
resulted In nearly a hundred of Its
men being executed.
A huge number of desertions are
occurring, the correspondent nays
and It la estimated that there are
more than 20.000 deserters In IVrllu
alone. Large numbers are scattered
throughout the country.
Disobedience and defiance of of
