HOSTILE ACTS REVIEWED.
Freneh Cabinet Sets Forth Alleged In
suits Endured From Kaiser.


Paris, Aug. 1.-The French cabinet
council deliberated until early this
morning discussing the crisis and pros
pective measures. President Poincare
signed three DEGREES. the first extend
ing until Aug. 81. the terms for the pay
ment Of obligations becoming due with
in that time; the second prohibiting the
export Of grains and other products Of
the soil and the third abolishing duties
on the importation Of farinaceous prod
ucts.
A brief formal statement setting
forth the action of the council was
given out and q review Of the develop
ments to date was sent out by semi
official news agency. This communica-
ton after referring to the extreme
gravity of the CRISIS, says:
1T is learned that since July Is up
to today. Germany has armed it's forts
vile (Hiedenhofen) and Metz q number
Of army corps. Their outposts are
formed of numerous troops on the
border Of our immediate frontier. The
patrols Of cavalry Of Germany have
even penetrated our territory.
Grievances Set Forth.
I'VE know also Of other grave acts
which have been committed Commune
cation has been cut, the routes have
been barred and patrolled by soldiers:
numerous automobilists proceeding as
tourists have lost their machines thru
con1scation. Railroads in proximity to
the frontier have been destroyed and
machine guns have been placed along
this district. Three locomotives Of the
Eastern Railroad Company have been
stopped at Montreux- -Vieux, a German
frontier station and fourteen other loco
motives at Amanvillers (another Ger
man station) have been put in such a
condition as to make their return to
France impossible. At the moment there
is no normal means Of transit between
France and Germany. We believe that
the council Of ministers deliberated on
these facts and considered measures
necessary"

Ruination in Chicago Wheat Pit
Averted by Board Of Trade "Ansei"
Chicago. Aug. 1.-Armour's millions
Friday rescued the wheat trade from
panic.
Instead Of chaos resulting from a
settlement day in the midst of a war
market, with possibly scores Of firms
embarrassed and virtual certainty
that bankruptcies few or many would
ensue, the Chicago board OF trade was
enabled to maintain the record OF
never having closed no matter how
great the emergency and at night not
q single failure big or little had taken
place. The chief reason was that
seventy five entangled firms and indi-
viduals on change were freely given
Friday by Armour & Co.. whatever aid
the necessities of the situation re-
quired. - -
President George e. Marcy OF tho
Armour company was the man who
rose to the occasion. He quietly circu-
lated word on the floor of the board
partly in person and partly thru his
lieutenants that any member in trouble
need only come to him. Before night-
fall he had taken over 100000 bushels
of open trades which if not transferred

safely settled in due contract time, the
expiration Of business hours at the end
of the month.
Marcy HaIts Price Advance.
In addition to the relief extended
directly President Marcy ordered the
sale of 100000 bushels of wheat in
the open market and was largely in
strumental in preventing Chicaso
prices from balancing the wild up
ward sweep that in Liverpool came
ahead of a steep subsequent fall. The
Armour sales of wheat were supple
mented by simultaneous disposal of
quantity Of oats. These sales were at
terward covered by purchases when
ever pit conditions would allow with
out disturbing the course of prices.
Mr.. Marcy said: The Chicago board
of trade owed a duty to the country
not to close 1t was not a similar case
to that of the stock exchange in New
York Millions of bushels Of grain III

effect on railroad and other interests
had to be taken into account. Grains

Possibly clear idea of the strain
that reached climax Friday can be

example. On single trade, one firm

on for $650,000 in margins-$i00. 900
