Demand the Government to Take Over Products Until After War
 Is Growing.
ACTION IS NECESSARY
Advance in Prices Has Been Over Hundred Per Cent. Since
 War Started.

WINNIPEG, Man. Nov. 9.-There is well grounded demand west Of the lakes in favor Of the Dominion government communicating an the grain, mills and miled products and establishing a maximum price for fu- ture crops until the termination of the war. The action Of Che British government in the United Kingdom may be accepted as a precedent and communicating of 2O.OOO.OOO bushels of wheat in the lake terminal ele- yators last fall by the Ottawa gov ernment at an arbitrary price for old country purposes is regarded as an excuse for further move in that direction That step was taken last year in Canada because of the action Of spectators and artificial imitation of prices by the identical interests is held responsible for the condition in the West that now de. meHds this drastic innovation
 Here. in the center of the grain growing zone flour is selling at ten dollars barrel and bread at ten cents. This represents an advance Of nearly 100 per cent. since the war began and further increases are fore east. Speculators put up the price of grain and the millers find in that an excuse for the increasing price of flour. The miners' scale arbi- trarily forces the bakers Co put up the price of bread. There is a feel. ing iu the west based on a sense of proportions. that while 1O-cent bread which cost five cents in 1914. might be warranted by new condi- tions in Montreal and Toronto. by no sense of fairness could such a price be extracted in the center of the grain-growing zone of the prair ies.

Germany VIII Make War on Neutral Shipping and Put Blame on

Steamers VIII Be Sunk Regardless of What CaTgOeS Are on
 Board.

LONDON. Nov 9.-A special dis. patch from Amsterdam features a statement of the Berlin Kreuz Zei- tmg to the effect that Germany has decided 10 make the safety of neu. tral ships carrying neutral cargoes dependent upon guarantees that no part of such cargoes shall be landed, whether through British compulsion or not at any British port
 Such guarantee. according Co the Kreuz zeitmg can consist only in formal undertakings by Great Bri- tain and such undertakings win be recognized by Germany only from case to ease.
 This is taken 70 mean that in the event of any neutral cargo or part thereof being landed in England. the German government immediately will cease to recognize the inyiol- ability Of neutral ships. The Berlin paper implies that the case Of the Dutch freighter Bloomersdijk, which was sunk by a German submarine off Nantucket on Oct. 8 will be ar- gued along these lines and it will be contended since the intermediate destination of the vessel was Kirk wall there was no guarantee that the whole cargo would reach Hol- land.
 The British press also infer. from a Berlin dispatch summarized in the Koeinischo zeitung, that Ger. many proposes to sink ell neutral ships. whether bearing neutral car goes or otherwise. unless Great Bri. tain consents to abandon the right Co compel discharge at Kirkwall of any part of a neutral cargo suspect ed of having an enemy destination.

Officials Are Taken on the Carpet to Give Complete
 Explanation
BLAMES UNITED STATES

LONDON, Nov 9.-m the House of Commons Carlyon W. Benaire asked Lord Robert Cecil, War Trade Minister. the reasons the Foreign Office had granted Q free conduct to Captain Karl Boy-ed, formerly German naval attache at Washing ton. at the time his withdrawal was requested by the American govern ment.
 MT. Beilaire also asked whether Lord Robert was aware that Captain Boy-Ed was tho heed of an organi. zation engaged in forgery murder and arson in the United States" and was now organizing occasional U-boat operations off the American coast from Lubeck."
 Lord Robert replied that the safe conduct had been given to Captain Boy-Ed in difference to the officially expressed wish Of the United States government. The British govern ment felt that the Captains capac- ity for njuring the interests of this country was at least not greater in Germany than in the United States, The government had no reason to regret this view, he said.
 Regarding Mir. Bellairss query in regard to Captain Boy-Ed'5 present activities. Lord Robert said: "I have no reason to doubt that cll Mr. Bel laire says about Captain Boy-Ei is true. Some of it i5 officially known to be true, but do not think any thing would be gained by cnncunc- ! ing that no further safe conducts i would be granted"

Julien southerland, assistant solicitor of the postofice department, who passes on most of the fraud order cases, 'but the records show that during the last four years the schemes suppressed had flched from the public over $239,- 100000. One concern had receipts of over S85O 900 last year. The promoter of a fake anti-fat preparation spent S5oOOO In a single month on advertis- ing.
 During the last four years the de- partment has had over 15,OOO cases tn- volving fraudulent use of the mails, and during that period has received and answered about 100000 communi- cations relating to fraudulent use of the malls.
 Last year investigations were un- dertnken in 1000 cases, and over 10000 complaints and inquiries were re- ceived."
 During the Taft administration com. parahvely few fraud orders were is- sued, 1t being the position of the chief executive that persons guilty of violat- ing the postal laws should be prosecut- ed in the courts.
 It was pointed out, however, that legal delays of one sort and another often made 1t possible to conduct a fraudulent business for months and years. Even after conviction the fine was often much less than the govern ments cost of prosecution.
 The present administration has adopt ed the policy of issuing a fraud order wherever one is believed to be war ranted.

Volhynia is looked upon as the most
probable scene of the expected Teuton

eastward would compel the Russians
to withdraw their lines now menacing

HAS PLENTY OF GAME.
Turkeys, Quail and Pheasants Numer-
Gus In Pennsylvania.

Harrisburg, pam abundance of
wild turkeys, as well as pheasants and
quail, is promised for the central coun-
ties of the State by State game war
dens who have been going through the
districts adjacent to the States game
preserves. In the last two years the
State has 'set OUT many wild turkeys
and the reports indicate that the birds
have bred well and that there are
many young ones in the weeds. In the
Juniata Valley counties the turkeys are
frequently seen and along the south
ern tire they are not uncommon close
to the State highways.
The pheasant experiments have
been successful; and in some districts,
thanks to private enterprise and farm
ers protecting birds because of value
in destroying bugs, quail are heard in
districts where they have not been
known for years.

FRENCH GAIN COMPLIES.

London.-The French have gained at
last foothold in Combles, long one of
the detectives of Allies offensive on
the Somme.
In what is described by the Paris
midnight communiQue as "a brilliant
surprise attack" an isolated structure
at the extreme outskirts of the i'm
portant German base on the Somme
was captured by the French. The
building had been strongly fortified as
a defence work. Three officers and 81
men were taken prisoner.
simultaneously, General Foch's
troops pushed forward to the south
east of Combles, Tightening the ring
around that town. In this action 40
prisoners were made. A semi-oficial
estimate says the German losses suf-
fered in the vain counter-attack around
Bouchavesnes on Wednesday were
10000.
More than f55,SOO prisoners were
taken by the Franco-British forces on
the Somme from July 1, when the
Allied offensive began, up to Septem-
Der 18, the French night communique
says. This makes an average of near
ly 700 prisoners taken daily for 80
days OF the total the French alone
took 34,050.

sulting from the British blockade, but
comparatively little about the priva-
lions of the allies. The following let

cents pound and each thin slice
comes to ten cents. Butter is uneat-
able at less than sixty-four cents a

Gasoline is twenty cents quart. AL

now forty-eight cents quart as COM
pared to fourteen before the war.
Sugar is fourteen cents a pound.
