 This order shall take effect from and after this date, September 5, 19l4.' Ownership in Dispute As ownership of the Tuckerton plant has been in dispute, both French and German companies applying for a government license the President determined that this station, which is the only high-pow- cred apparatus able to exchange messages with Europe without difficulty, be oper- ated entirely by the American government during the war. Other wireless stations,
 as Sayville, will be continued under their
 present status with American naval of- ficers seeing that no unneutral messages are sent, but code messages will be prohib- ited as heretofore.
 The Tuckerton station will be manned by naval operators so that the protest of Great Britain that subjects of the bel ligerents should not be permitted to handle messages is complied with.s The Tuckerton station will be open to commercial business, but code messages will be accepted only from foreign em- bassies.

 Encouraging Effect
 Reports that Greece had announced her intention of remaining neutral were regarded as likely to have an encouraging effect, at Constantinople. The decision of the Potre on war and peace depends almost entirely on what the alignment will be in the Balkans. Today it was learned on high authority here that Turkey was not so sure of Roumania's support as previously. Rou- mania, it was said, has had secret alliance with Austria for sometime and always has harb bored u grudge against Russia. The Roumanians, however, are racially Slavic and latest intima- tions are that they plan to offset any help Bulgaria might give to Turkey, a circumstance believed to have ca used the Porte to delay action until it can learn better the intentions of its northern neighbors

officials. diminished the confidence Of
some that punishment could be melted
out to those responsible for the increases
It is realized that the only hope for sue
cessfuI prosecutions is where evidence
can be established of combinations and
agreements to FIX prices at higher levels.
The belief has gained ground that Presi-
dent WILSON may find it necessary to
urge special legislation by Congress in
order TO meet the technical needs OF the
situation ~
Comparison Of Prices
The Department Of Justice is preparing
an exhaustive comparison OF prices Of
food products for July of last year
and July l Of this, together with the
prices which have been asked this week.
This will furnish the first authoritative
report of the increases to date.
Secretary of Commerce Redneld con-
ferred with President Wilson on the situ-
alton. Mr.. Redheld afterward appeared
to have some doubts as to the possibility
of reaching the guilty. Nor is be con-
WINGED that all increases will be found
to have been unwarranted.
The Secretary pointed out that although
there is q bumper crop Of wheat. the
corn, rye and barley crops are by no
means as large. 1nese, ne predicted.
might not suffice for more than the needs
Of the United States. This, he indicated,
might justify rise in the price Of wheat
as being the only cereal for which large
expectations are in prospect. In addi-
ton, Mr.. Redfeld pointed out that the
sugar supply OF the world will be d.
minished materially but the cutting of Of
the German beet crop. The German
sugar. he said. had been little used by
the United States. Secretary Redfield
telegraphed to his agents in,various parts
of the country:
You are instructed to inquire imme-
diately and carefully whether there has
been a recent rise in retail prices in
your city and vicinity, and IL 50 on what
articles and to what extent. Special at
tention should be given to foodstuffs and
articles OF clothing and other necessaries.
Learn whether the advance, II II exists,
is general or confined to particular COM
modities, and II SO to what ones. Find
out Of II has been sudden or gradual. II
any articles have fallen in price state
the facts concesning them. Learn what
reasons are given for any advance that
may have occurred and inquire particu-
larly as to whether such reasons are
the actual ones.
