Developments in the Department Of
Justice food probe are expected to
come rapidly during the coming week.
Grand jury investigations in many cities
have been completed. and that a num-
Der of indictments will be handed down
in each of six Of these Investigations is
assured.
In all of these cases the Department
OF Justice will rely on the Sherman law
provisions against restraint of trade"
In bringing prosecution against those
Further advances in food prices are
not anticipated. AS stated in last
Sundays Times It is believed by Of
ficials here that food prices will grad
ually recede to normal or to nearly
not directly affected by the war. Dis
trict attorneys in many cities report
ed reductions last week, particularly
in the flour milling center Of Min
neapolis.
Housewives Meet Tomorrow.
Superintendent Of Markets Sherman
will have his next meeting with Dis
trict housewives in the board room Of
the Municipal building tomorrow
morning at II o'clock. At this meet
ing it is probable that he will tell
ed though the cooperation Of the
Federal Department of Agriculture
for a modern and approved consrm-
ers' market in Washington.
The District grand jury will not meet
until Wednesday or Thursday, when ac-
ton is expected.
With nationwide warfare against in
creasing. food prices bearing fruit, Gov
ernment investigators are preparing to
turn the probe against drug and COM
cause of increases The Department
of Commerce is to study the situation
with respect to European patented
drugs and to determine whether or not
these can be advantageously manufac-
tured In America. The Department is
also studying the possibility of wide
spread increase In American manufac-
lures and exports generally as result
Of the war.

where. Grosner was surprised by the

mand for these famous clothes said IL

The Tribuna today says the approach

The Tribuna expresses tAe.opinion that
the chances favor Cardinal Ferrata.
At the congregation last night the car
dinals, after taking the oaths to main
tain secret their discussions, even to
the shedding of blood" performed the
traditional ceremony of breaking the
fisherman's ring.
The rite. however. was not literally
carried cut According 10 the rules of
the Sacred College, the ring should be
broken and later reset and presented to
the new Pope. Today, after each of
the members present had identified the
ring, IL was found that none had the
strength to break It, even though a
hammer was emulcved. Aid was not
at hand, as Cardinal Della Volpe had
not permitted the presence of any one
except the cardinals. and the latter
finally decided that the symbolical
ceremony would be properly observed
If the symbol Of office was scratched.
This was done.

SPREADS CONFIDENCE
Officials at Paris Express Sat-
isfaction Over "SuccessfuI
Advance of Russians"
By WILLIAM PHILLIPS SIMMS.

PARIS. Aug. 23.-With the German
army striking toward Lille. nothing but
the greatest confidence was expressed
by the war office today.
Satisfaction is shown over official dis
patches from St. Petersburg. telling Of
the continued successful advance of the
Russians into Prussia.
Admission is made of the .'tempor-
ary checking" of the French advance in
Lorraine, but this is offset by the VIC
tories in Alsace. the war office de-
clarsd.
In an official statement the war Of
fee declared:
German reports Of tremendous
French defeat in Lorraine are grossly
exaggerated. The French successes in
Alsace are Of much greater import
ance than those of the Germans in the
other province which shall soon be re-
stored to France"
An engagement is expected at Null
hausen where the French has en-
trenched. A force of Germans, sup
ported by heavy oetachments of Aus
trians, is reported to be within five
miles of Mulhaus@n. 1t Is evidently
their intention to attack the French in
force ard endeavor to cut them off
from their base at Belfort.

make of his share cannot be deter

Bottineau, May 3O.-Through the
courtesy of the DUPONT Powder Co.,
the School of Forestry has been fur
nished with twenty-five pounds Of
dynamite. and this is being used in
the planting of trees on the campus.
One-half stick is being used for each
tree hole. Tha resulting explosion
thoroughly powders the ground,
breaking up the hard pan for a
depth of twenty feet. This makes
it possible for the roots of the trees
to easily penetrate the ground. The
use of dynamite makes it much easi-
er work to plant trees and the sav-
ing of time alone is nearly equal to
the cost of the dynamite.
