Lemon prices which were soaring at
the time of the federal investigation of
food price increases here three weeks
ago have dropped back to normal cost.
Information forwarded by Fred
Robertson, United States district at
torney for Kansas, started an investi-
cation Of the operations Of New York
importers who were found to have
control Of practically the entire visible
supply OF Aessina and other foreign
lemons Under the joint pressure Of
the government and . marketing con-
dition which put all the smaller doal-
ers OF the country In state OF revolt
lemon prices Immediately subsided to
q point which local dealers now claim
as abnormally low.
Kansas uses California lemons almost
to the entire exclusion OF foreign fruit
which u not % we'll assorted. 1t was
charged before the hearing In Topeka
that the fruit growers association In
California had arbitrarily showed up the
price on the strength Of the disturbed
conditions affecting European lemons.
The high prices then charged in Topeka
were made by the CAlifornians indie
pendently OF the Italian importers who
the prices quoted by both fell stimuli

Regardless OF what the government
may have done," today declared Sam
uel e. Lux, one OF the Topeka commits
sion men who testified At the govern
ment hearing. the price Of lemons was
bound to come down because of the
paraltxation OF the trade by the big
increase in the early part OF August.
The smaller dealers refused to accept
car lot orders in most cases and bouGalt

London, Sept s.-The British people
continue to Except with stoicism the
lack. of news concerning the operations
of the British army on the continent
tie public that all news consistent with
the nations interest would be given
out, and the people are accepting that
assurance.
French Reports.
The French official reports throw
more light On the operations than those
OF the British. The French reports say
the action ON the right or the northern
wing has resulted in checking the Ger
mans for time. The inference plainly
Is that the Germans are employing all
their forces in an enveloping movement
against the allies left wing. That that
part of the allied army Is retiring to the
south ard west indicates that the Ger
mans have not yet outflanked them.
Apparently the Germans have aban-
doned the west Of Belgium to pour all
their forces toward the road for Paris.
Reports tina. they are preparing to at
tack Antwerp are not believed here, be-
cause there seems to be no dominating
strategic reason for such q move. Mil
Fftary experts agree that the Germans
are unlikely to waste more than a
screening body to prevent a serious Bel
gian sortie against their line of COM
munication.
For Moral Effect.
The occupation of Brussels probably
was chiefly a demonstration for its
moral effect, out an assault on Ant
werp. it IS considered. would be a side
issue with SO little effect upon the main
plan of campaign that 1t would be a
useless expenditure OF men ana energy.
There may be a strong method in the
allies policy of gradual retreat and
compelling the Germans to make re-
peatedly costly attacks while the allies
keep q compact front before their last
line of defenses.
Three million Frenchmer are under
arms to defend Paris. They still have
confidence IN the ultimate result of the
war.
The list OF killed. wounded and miss.
ing British officers from the crack regi-
ments which were engaged in the foul
days battle Of last week brings mourn
ing to many noble and aristocratis
homes. This. however, Is the price Of
war, which the corntry appears willing
to pay.

Of Turkish ambassador.
Paris Awaits the Germans.
Paris, Sept. 3.-There is little doubt
in the mind of anyone that the tnvad-
ing forces will strike at the northern
forts, but no complete investment of
Paris is possible in the opinion of mill
itary experts. They insist that it could
not be done even by the wonderful
fighting machine that has cut its way
to within forty miles of the city, but
there Is no doubt that the allies line
will be forced back until the Germans
can engage the outer line of forts to
the north. General Gallieni was plac-
ed in supreme command of the entire
defense Of Paris today.
The only official word from the war
office today was the statement by Cen
eral Gallieni that the French line still
holds.
EVERY attempt of the enemy to break
through at any point in the north has
been blocked" said the general. "Tae
