MORE SEIZURES PROMISED Senate and House Committees Prob ably Will Report on Amend . raents to food Control Bill. WASHIA'GTOX. Auk. IT. The gov ernment's fight to reduce the cost of living is expected to result in action In many states this week to force hoarded food on the market, while con gress Js debating legislation dealing with the question. Reports to Attorney-General Palmer have indicated that instructions to dis trict attorneys to proceed vigorously in the enforcement of the food control law were betas- obeyed literally. Instances of the seizure of foodstuffs In St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City. San Dtego and the south, officials here be lieve, will !c multiplied in the next few days. Mr. Palmer, directing the campaign from Washington, will go to New York tomorrow to confer with the fair prit-e board for that city. Senate and house agriculture com mittees probably will report this week on an amendment to the food control la.w providing a criminal penalty, w hich hitherto has been lacking, and expand- in" the law to cover clothing. Cold storage legislation also may be acted on by the house interstate commerce commission. Consideration of requests by several departments for appropriations to car- ' ry on work in reduction of living costs will be inaugurated tomorrow by the house appropriations committee. The renste's lostrict of Columbia subcom mittee will continue its hearings with a view of framing "model" legislation for regulation of prices. flO!ely akin to the consideration of the living-cost question will be the hearings to be started tomorrow by the senate interstate commerce committee on the Kenyon-Kendrick bills to license m-at packers. W. B. t'olver. member of the federal trade commission, which has investigated extensively the pack- ins industry, will be the first witness. 'Gallons. To tho French, accustomed from childhood to drink light wines with their meals and a nip of liquor with I their after-dinner coffee, America's I adoption of complete prohibition is I wholly incomprehensible. They simply cannot credit it. They still cling to the I hope that what little their newspapers I have told them of the great American drought is untrue, or. at worst, thit the constitutional amendment will be re-1 pealed. "But your soldiers all liked our good wine," the peasants say. '"Even those I who had never tasted it before they 1 came here grew to appreciate now pleasant and healthful it is to drink glass or two of claret or burgundy with! one's dinner. Surely, it ten't possible I that they will be content to swallow I nothing but water the rest of -their I lives." WHITE RUSSIA IS SAVED HOGEIt .AVERTED BY FORMING CIVIL GOVERNMENT.

Organization of a state bank at Car ver, Clackamas valley trading point and the present terminus of the Carver rail road, was decided upon at a meeting Saturday evening at the Carver school house, at which about 50 residents of that section wfre tn attendance. tentl ment was practically unanimous for the bank, and R. I I'eck. Carver resident who has fathered the Idea, and U. M. Slocum. former middle western banker, were named a committee to proceed ih arrangements. The meetinc Saturday nipht was railed as the result of a request sicned by 6S residents of that auction. Sub scriptions amounting to approximately $75o were obtained before the close of the meeting:, and little difficulty is an ticipated in raiding- the full $15,000 of capital which will be needed to open the bank under a state charter. State Bank Examiner Bon net t already has personally investigated the matter and passed favorably upon it, it was re ported at the meeting. The principal speaker was R. S. How ffrd. vice-president f the ladd & Tilton bank. Mr. Howard acted in an ad visory capacity and gave the Carver residents information and advice as to curing a bank charter and be ginning operations. The town of Carver is mst favorably locked fr a hank. Mr. Howard said, as it is the natural trading point for both sides of the Clackamas valley. A L strong nuines oeveiopmeni was rore cast for the community in view of rich stands of timber and agricultural re sources near Carver. A bank will play an important part in community de velopment. Mr. Howard declared. It is planned to have the bank owned and controlled entirely by residents of th Carver section and the $15,000 of capital for the bank will be obtained through the sale of stock at $100 a share. Wide distribution of the shares was urged so that the bank will be truly a community enterprise. BT ARNO DOSCH-FLEUROT. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub- I lished by arninsement.) WARSAW. Aug., 12. (Special Cable.) I left Minsk yesterday just as the l civil governor, Raczkiewicz entered in to full function in White Russia. In setting about to organize the municipal and the provincial govern ment. Raczkiewicz had the advantage of knowing all the elements of tne population. Pacification was made eas ier by the first move, which was to or ganize advisory councils of White Rus sians, Jews and Poles. As the Polish I army was over on the Beresina river, the occupation was practically com plete and a civil government was un-1 tier way aU within three days. whatever feeling might have exist ed that the Poles were taking terri tory not distinctively Polish is far more than counterbalanced in the eyes I of the local population by the fact that they came before the crops were I cut and so saved them for the inhabi- I tants, who otherwise would have suf fered another starving winter on ac-I count of the red army requisitions. It is a very backward country, iso lated by great forests on every side. The peasants seemed unmoved by the I change of nationality. Being asked I whether they considered themselves I Kusian:, Kuthenians or Poles, they I invariably replied: "We are people of this country. Instead of an imported bolshevik bureaucracy of 10.000 this small govern ment will have a few hundred func-, tionaries chosen from resident Poles and Ruthcnians. General Szeptyckl, commander of this I front, is a Ruthenian Pole. He told me that this occupation, which had been under preparation .a month, was launched only after the urmy south of Minsk had surprised the bolshevik! by cutting their rear by moving across I the marshes. While this was comparatively small I warfare, it was serious. The marshes were crossed by building a light rail-I road about 40 miles long. What has impressed me most about the Polish army in action Is its serious ness about re-establishing old Poland at any cost. But they could not be in duced to go a foot further, which no body wants them to do. LOS ANGELES STRIKE FELT SERVICE OX TW O STREET RAIL I WAYS IS IMPAIRED.

Prohibition in America has dealt France a stagcering blow. How much they are fated to lose through the abrupt cessa tion of their export trade with the I'nited S:ates Is only now beginning to h plain to the slow-thinking peasants of the vineyard countries. With the ctm1uiiI realixitlon of their lo. com Inc at a time when the French have imperative need for every cent they can scrar tocether, there s aris'ng a very considerable feeling of bitterness toward their trans-Atlantic allies.

The 1912 export figure show that France sold America, all told, some $t.00.0'O worth rt liquid products of the grape. But .French wine experts claim that that sum in far below the total that would be derived from mine shipments to the t'nited States This year if prohibition frf not in effect. They affirm that the :,00.000 sol diem if the American expedi .onary foret-s have acquired a taste for the bevt-rages of chARipacne.. burgundy and bordeaux mhicu would have vastly in creased the consumption of these 'healthf u! drinks, as the French gov ernment officially terms them in the land of the douchboy. J4. Andre Cuesticr. president of the Bordeaux cnamber of commerce, be lieves that the annual loss to the French wine trade may be set at fully $12,000,000. In add i turn, he observes there must be reckoned sums running into sevrral millions which would have be to stinu indirectly by shipper j LOS ANGELES. Aug. 17.
