NATION FIGHTING
MAN|PULATORS OF
PRICES OF FOOD
Congress and Entire Ma
chinery of Department of
Justice at Work.

Washington, Aug. 14.-United States
district attorneys from all over the
country telegraphed the department
of justice today asking for special
agents to aid in the crusade against
the manipulators of food prices. The
department officials stated that they
are pleased with the interest shown,
and would aid in every possible way
In addition to the activities of the
department of justice, the department
of commerce ordered general in
yestigation into food supplies and
prices. Where extraordinary condi-
tons are shown, the reports will be
turned over to the department of
justice.
A general determination is evident
both in congress and in the govern
ment departments to reach those re-
sponsible for increases in prices and
it appears that those who are trying
to maintain an artificial scale of
prices, will have difficult road to
| travel.

Brussels and Amtwerp-Belgians
Report Staying 5000 ut HaeIen.

London. Aug. 14-The greatest bat
tie in the history of the world IS
impending.
Reports are coming in OF fierce
skirmshing on the Russo-German
frontier. The Austrians are SAID 10
have been badly defeated in north
eastern Galacia.
These events indicate that the huge
eastern armies of Germany and Aus
tria will soon be at death grips Win
Russias mighty forces.
The sooner the eastern confllct
commences the better it will be Tor
the allies in the west, where the
German main army is moving into
great thanking movement on Belgium,
which. despite repeated repulses by
the heroic defenders, would seem to
threaten Antwerp and Brussels.
The Germans believe they can take
Brussels en- route, having given up
the attempt to storm the Lfege forts.
It is certain that long before the
German army can take Brussels, the
enormous German forces will be en-
ga eed both east and west In the most
tremendous battle ever imagined.
The Germans now realize that by
unfortunately sowing mines In the
North Sea they have hampered their
own shipping and impeded their own
food supplies. This may cause a
sudden and fierce attack on the Brit
ish naval forces awaiting in the North
Sea for any desperate tactics by the
enemy. who, in the meantime, is safe
| within his own ports.

Geneva, Aug. 14.-Madame Favre
Schwarz of Basic, a young and beau
tiful Swiss lady, married to one of the
richest men In Alsace-Lorraine, was
shot today after court-martia1. She
was accused of attempting to blow
up an important tunnel on the railroad
line near Leopoldscholl.
Nine. Schwarz made no secret of
her intense French sympathies. Hav-
ing been found guilty and sentenced
to death, she shouted "Vive la
France" and she died with this cry
upon her lips.
She was we'll known in the best
cosmopolitan society, not only OF
Basic, but Of Berlin.
Switzerland. although not actually
engaged. is suffering the terrors of
war. Italy has modified more than
100000 troops on the Swiss and Aus
trian frontiers. In the high mountain
passes above Sermatt, the Swiss and
Italian patrols meet and fraternize
discussing the war.
OF the 5000 Americans in Switzer-
land. several hundred have automo-
biles. The Swiss refuse to allow any
of these cars to go out, and the SOL
diers will not allow any Americans
along the German frontier.
Many Americans made the journey
from Vienna to Buchs on the Swiss
frontier by the last train that came
through. The trip. which ordinarily
is made in one day, required four
days. In two compartments in the
coaches intended to hold eight per-
sons. were damned from twenty tc
thirty suffering refugees. The cor
ridors and even the lavatories were
packed. Windows were smashed te
avoid suffocation. Some Americans
threw their baggage out of the win
dow and lay weeping children in the
baggage racks to cry themselves tc
sleep.
The expresses arriving from Berlin
also were from one to two days late
The travellers were dropped near the
German station Of St. Louis, whence
they had to walk thirty miles to
Basic.

Sugar Steadily Ascends.

New York, Aug. 14.-The sugar
market showed further strength today.
Leading refiners were quoting refined
sugar on a basis of 7h cents for
granulated, less per cent for cash.
The advance was due, it is alleged, to
a further sharp rise yesterday in the
market for raw sugar, which was
brought about by competitive bidding
between European and American re-
finers.

Goeben and Breslau, as it is feared
the acquisition of these vessels may
make Turkey uncomprosiing on the
subject of the disposition of the
Aegean Islands. A rumor that Tur-

Mitylene is taken as justification
for this belief.

London. Aug. l4.-Great :'fltaln
France and Russia have sent sharp
demand to Turkey for the immediate
of the German cruisers GOeben aId
Breslau.
1t is reported that the two cruisers
were met by Turkish vessels outside
and escorted into the Dardanelles.
There is no official confirmation
of the actual purchase of the cruisers
by Turkey, but the report to that eff
feet is generally credited.
A dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph company from Athens says
that King Constantine, at the sugges-
ton of the premier and minister OF

leaders to determine the attitude OF

The newe developments in the war
situation were discussed with interest
in y,n1ifioo1 oir VIII, II hold
fraught with the possibility of grave
results.
1t was stated semi-official quar-
tiers that the vessels would become a
strong weapon in the hands of Tur-
key if Constantinople abandoned it's
attitude of neutrality.
The belief was expressed that the
purchase precludes new position on
the part of Turkey and in favor Of
Germany and Austria-Hungary, which
is especially important as bearing or
the interest of the Balkan states.
The Tribune says that the prepare
| tons made at Messina "for noble
death" by the officers of the German
cruiser who before sailing from that
port, made their wills, left the pub
lie "unprepared for the farce"
The paper continues: Seeing tn
impossibility of escape from thu
Anglo-French fleet if they followed
their original idea of molesting tn
transports moving Fre1ch-Africal
troops, the German cruisers sough
refuge in the Aegean sea, where, wit
