three years Of war so brilliantly have
stood the test, has been carried
through by all arms more quickly and
more energetically than was expected
and was a surprise to the enemy. A
crushing blow hit him, so he lost his
bridgehead.
Stronger Prospect for Wars End
"The liberation of Riga is the deed
Of the Eighth Army and its well tried
commander. IL again has proved that
our Steelhard will to victory will de-
fend us, no matter how long the war

of Riga increase the prospects that
the end will come soon. They add to
the glory of our arms and give fresh
laurels TO the troops participating.
Therefore, ] express to you my
thanks for the brilliant feat of arms,
the fatherland's thanks, and the en-

BERLIN (via Londou), Sept. Sin
thanking the Eighth German Army for
the capture Of Riga, Emperor William,
IN an address TO the victorious troops
at Riga on Thursday, declared that
such victories as that at Riga in
crease the prospects that the end of
the war will come soon. The Emperor,
according to an official statement.
spoke as follows:
Riga is free. When this news ran
through all the districts of Germany
a storm of jubilation and enthusiasm
arose everywhere in the fatherland and
IN the foremost trenches in the enemy

Says Town Is Liberated
"This town. founded by the spirit of
the old German Hanseatic League,
which has a German history and al
ways has endcavored to maintain its
German origin. has gone through
heavy times. BY the German army,
in which is Incorporated all the Ger

Leopold of Bavaria, was begun and

kevitch and the German military at
tache in Petrograd. 1t appears from
the "Novoe Vremya" that General
Januschkevitch testified precise re-
ports had been received that German
mobilization already was secretly in
progress. The Russian staff knew that
this could be done under the Ger
man law without formal proclamation,
whereas in Russia a public manifesto
from the Emperor was a necessary pre-
requisite.
On the following day dispatch was
received from the Russian Ambassador
at Berlin confirming the previous in
formation that the German mobiliza-
tion was in progress. The Emperor
then expressed his thanks to General
Januschkevitch for not having revoked
the mobilization order.
The foregoing dispatch gives the
first intmation from a Russian source
in regard TO the testimony which the
German Chancellor, DR.. Michaelis,
said earlier in the week established
"irrefutably" that it was the military
party around the Russian Emperor,
and not Germany, which chose the
time for the war. The Chancellor
said that if the American government
had had knowledge of this testimony
its judgment as TO responsibility Cor
the war, as expressed in the Presi-
dents reply to the Pope, would have
been quite different.
The principal point made by DR..
Nichaelis was that the Russian En-
pcror. convinced at length of the Ger
man Emperor's desire for peace, or
dered cancellation of the mobilization
order, but that "a couple of criminals"
disregarded the order and thwarted its
execution.

regarding conditions here so that you
can let the men due in the next install
ment know what to bring.
So far we have received no uniforms
or clothing of any sort and have no
idea when we will do so. The ar
rangements for Quitting the men are
so far from complete that the officers
seem wholly unable to outfit five per
cent so that when eight times as
many come there is small chance of
their being QUILTED for two or three
weeks after arrival.

do so that they will need heavy water

EDITOR MIRROR:

EDITOR STAR-MIRROR:
The article in yesterdays Star-Mir
TOR on excessive milling profits, by F
II. Mckay of Spokane, is grossly miss
leading and does an injustice to the
millers in the Pacific Coast territory
Mr.. Mckay may have bought wheat fol
10 years for the northwest mills and
no doubt is fully informed on that
phase of the milling industry, but he
displays woeful ignorance of mill
ing from the manufacturing and sell
ing standpoint If Mr. Mckay can
guarantee an excess profit of $2S7 for
each barrel of flour manufactured, he
is foolish to remain in the banking
business-any large coast mill would
pay him a princely salary to operate
their plant on such basis.
Mr.. Mckay is fairly correct in cal
culating 1-2 bushels of wheat at $190
as the raw cost of wheat that goes in
to a barrel of flour This is 1855. AL
so 20 pounds of feed at$35 per ton, or
S122 is sufficiently correct.
He makes his mistake by putting the
selling price of flour at $11.20 per bar
rel. No mill in Spokane or anywhere
else gets $11.20 barrel for its output.
S1120 represents the retail selling
price of best Montana patent flour to
the family trade. The mill perhaps,
gets $1,000 or Whereabouts wholesale.
Is 1t fair to charge the grocers and
jobbers profit to the miller2
AS matter of fact the miller gets
nearer $3.50 wholesale for it's patent
flour from local soft wheat. Fur
thermore only rs percent of the barrel
is patent flour, the remaining rs per-
cent being cutoff, or second grade
flour, which sells for about $1.00 a
barrel less. Any mill will sell Mr.
Mckay patent flour by the carload at
$40 barrel laid down in Spokane, so
he most certainly is in error by stat
ing that the wholesale price is $11.20 |
In Spokane.
He also forgets to include cost of
containers. Sacks at present cost
