Washington.-Preside Wilson peF>
sonally, by letter. called the attentioo
of the attorney general to the general
and apparently abnormal initiation Of
food prices and asked the Department
Of Justice to conduct an Investigation

whether there Is a conspiracy. The
Presidents letter was as follows:
"The rapid and unwarranted In.
crease in the prices of foodstuff in
this country upon the pretext OF the
conditions existing in Europe Is so
serious and vital a matter that I take
the liberty of calling your attention

II would be very much obliged II
you would advise me II there is under
the existing law any action which tho
Department of Justice could take
either by way of investigation or le-
gal process and what federal legisla,
ton, II any. would, in your judgment,
be justifiable and warrantable in tho
circumstances.
Il feel that this Is a matter that
we cannot let pass by without trying
to serve the country. Certainly the
country ought to be defended. II pos
sible, against men who would take
advantage OF such circumstances to
increase the price OF food and the diff.

received in London this morning de.
clares authentic information has been
obtained that the Car will at an early
date sign proclamation granting to
the Jews in Russia full civil and po-
litical rights, placing them on the same
footing as the rest of his subjects
This information has excited as much
attention here and is regarded fully as
important as the news from the Far
East telling of Japan's preparations to
enter the war. The dispatch also an.
nounces that the Car is making ar.
rangements to go to the front with his
troops and assume personal command
of Russian military operations in the
field
The proclamation giving the Jews
unrestricted equality has been preced-
ed by proclamation in which Russian
Poland is guaranteed complete auton.
omy and the right to large measure
of representative government
These two political reforms an
nounced by the Emperor are said to
have aroused a tremendous national
spirit. Dispatches say that great out
bursts of enthusiasm have greeted the
news that the Car is going to the
front
Huge parades have taken place in
st. Petersburg and in other large cit
les of the empire.

! Toxic. Aug. 17.-Japan sent an ulti-
matum to Germany Saturday night de-
manding the withdrawal of German
warships from the Orient and the evac-
uation of Kiauchau and giving Ger
many until Saturday, August %, to
comply with the demand. Otherwise
the ultimatum states that Japan will
! take action.
/ Japan demands that Germany, not
later than Sept. 10, deliver to the Jap
anese authorities, without condition or
consideration, the entire leased terri
tory of Kiauchau, with a view to the
eventual restoration of the same to
China.
Treaty provides that whenever. by
attack or action, or any power inn
perils the peace OF eastern Asia. and
either Great Britain or Japan shall be
involved In war on that account
Great Britain and Japan shall join
forces and fight for peace.
| American government assured by
Japan that its interests will be safe
guarded. but United States officials
regard ultimatum as one of the gray
est developments in the war situa
tion, as 1t brings the great military
power of the Far East into a range of
conflict heretofore held within Europe.
The general expectation here is that
the ultimatum will be followed by
war. Takaaki Kato, the Japanese for.
eign minister simultaneously with the
dispatch of the ultimatum, conferred
with George w. Guthrie, the Ameri.
can ambassador. and made to him a
broad statement calculated to assure
the United States that American ia.
terests in the Far East would be safe
guarded and China's integrity upheld.
The government also notified Count
Won Rex, German ambassador to
Japan. and likewise retarded the time
limit for reply until August %.
