A HOUSING sEND-oFF
 FOR 1o2ND REGIMENT
Was Witnessed by 5o.ooo Persons in
 the Yale Bowl.

New Haven, Conn. Aug. 27.-The night spectacle arranged for the mem bers of the 102nd regiment in the Yale Bowl tonight passed off without any thing to mar it and 50,000 persons witnessed the circus stunts arranged by a committee of New Haven citi- Zens. The affair was in the nature of send of for the soldiers and they were there almost to a man with sweethearts, wives, friends or rela- tives. From nearly every part of the state came also those close to the soldiers.
 The carnival features were greatly enjoyed by the boys in khaki but they were themselves not very conspicuous because they mingled with the civilian attendance throughout the huge bowl. The entertainment began and ended with the playing of the Star Spangled Banner and the sight of 50,00O people pressive.
 A minute before the show started 300 naval reserVists in training here marched across the greensward of the "gridiron." taking seats together. Just before the close they marched out again, their navy uniforms making a fine showing under the glare of my riads of lights. against the carpetlike surface of the Bowl. They won mighty applause as they entered and left.
 The rush of people was SO great to the carnival that car service was in adequate and long lines of persons walking to and from the Bowl form ed a graphic reminder of football day. Despite the immense throng there were no accidents reported.

GOVERNMENTS POWER TO
 KEEP WAR PRICES. DOWN To Be Defined by Attorney General Gregory at Presidents Request.

Washington, Aug. 27-An interpre- tation of existing laws which will de- fine clearly the governments power to keep war prices down has been asked of Attorney-GeneralG Gregory by President Wilson. The president par ticularly wishes to know how far the government can go under the food control, and the national defence acts.
 The defence act authorizes the deer supplies at fair prices, but doubt has existed to whether the law vests in him power to force produc- CTS to sell to the allies and to the general public at figures obtained by the government.
 Under the food control act the pres ident has wide authority over the p1 O. duction and @ distribution of food StuffS. but prC<-iSiOnS of the act de- over "neceSSarieS" never have been clearly defined in the minds of many officials.
 The president has emphasiz that the administrations policy will be to obtain fair prices for the public on all commodities and that American and allied government purchases SwiIl not be permitted to increase prices to the private buyers.
 With the price of coal disposed of for the time being, the government now copper The war industries board and the federal trade commission are working together to arrive at fair prices for both these.
 If a test comes over the avOwed in- tention of the government to see that the public shares in price reductions it will come first over steel.

PURPOSES OF VISIT
 OF JAPANESE MISSION
Given to The Associated Press by
 Viscount Ishii.

Washington, Aug. 27-Viscount Ishii, the special Japanese ambassador, gave to The Associated Press tonight a statement defining the purposes of his mission to the United States. Mem bers of the mission noticed at Hono- lulu, at San Francisco and finally here In Washington indications that their coming might be misinterpreted by certain clements, and it was found necessary to explain that nc commer- cial or selfish interests were to be subserved.
 The amb ssador's statement follows:
 The imperial Japanese mission came to tSc. Halted States for two req sons: First, to convey to the president and to the American people the ap- preciatioI. and congratulations of the emperor and the nation of Japan for the entrance of the United States into the war as allies of Japan and the other nations now waging war against the enemies of freedom: second, to de- termine how best to cooperate with he United States in carrying the war to a triumphant conclusion.
 Having determined in what manner Japan can use her resources and strength to this end, it is the purpose of the mission to further aid the allied cause by showing what she can do with the help and cooperation of the United States. Japan is entirely un- selfish in her aim. We are fighting for common end and we wish to aid in the common efforts.''

against the French line in the region of Verdun, but not only have the forces of General Petain maintained their gains in their entirety but have taken more than LOO additional prisoners
 Likewise, on the Aisne front the German crown prince is keeping up his offensive against the French, but here also the attempts met with com plete failure.
 Along the front held by the British the operations have scarcely risen above the character of trench raids, although on various sectors vigorous artillery duels are in progress.
 The Berlin war office reports the capture of Russian positions near Ja- cobstadt, between Riga and Dvinsk, on the northern Russian front but makes no mention of a resumption of the operations begun last week east of Riga. In Rumania the Russo -Ruman- ian forces still are holding their own against the invaders, having retaksn height positions northwest fo Soveia which the Germans captured last week. On the Foxshani rector Field Marshal won MaCkensen's forces seemingly have been una ble to make further advances owing to the stiffening in the line of the defenders.

TIGHTENING GOVERNMENT
 CONTROL OF EXPORTS
Additions to List for Which License is Required for Shipment to NentraIs.

Washington, Aug. 27. - President Wilson frightened the governments s control of exports tonight by issuing an order forbidding the shipment of any goods to European neutral coun tries except under license, and by extending the lists for which license is required in shipment to the allies and neutrals other than European countries, to include cotton. all meats, sugar and most of Americas other export commodities
 In a statement accompanying his proclamation the president said one of the first intentions of the govern ment will be to see that no American products are made "the occasion sof benefit to the enemy. either directly or indirectly" Officials interpreted the order as forecasting a vigorous use of the export control as a war weapon and a policy of strict ration ing of countries contiguous to Ger many.
 Exports to Germany and her allies also ares formally prohibited by the presidents order and this is under stood to mean that the export control is about to supersede the British sys- tenn of giving letters of assurance for American cargoes. Up to now there has been nothing except the British blockade to prevent the shipment Of American goods to Germany To nights order in this respect accom- plishes one of the purposes sought in the trading with the enemy bill pend ing in congress.
 Coin, bullion, currency and evil dences of indebtedness are placed un- der export license restrictions to Flu ropean neutrals, whenever regulations governing their export have been pro- mulgated by the secretary of the treasury.
 The presidents order contains the first formal announcement of the transfer of administration of the eX- port control from the department of comrnerc to the export administra- = tive board of which Vance McCOr- mick is chairman. When the admin istrative board made the fact public a few days ago 1t was explained that the action was taken to facilitate the issuance of licenses

 WHEAT PRICES TODAY Runor Says It Will Be Slightly More
 Than $2.

Washington. Aug. 27.-The price the government will pay in it's purchases of the 1917 crop of wheat will probab bly, be fixed tomorrow by the committee headed by Dr. H. A. Garfield It will be made effective beginning Septem- Der 1,
 Members of the committee have guarded closely their discussion but runnof- tonight said the price named would be slightly in excess of $2.

FRENCH RAILROADS
 ARE IN SPLENDID SHAPE.
American Engineers Amazed at the
 Way They Found Them.

Washington, Aug 27.-Official re- ports to the war department show French railroads to be in splendid shape after three years of war. Amer ican engineers have been amazed at what they found in this regard and no report has reached the department tending to confirm rumors that the transportation systems in France were badly rIn down and would have to be reorganized.
 Secretary Baker said today that the American railway engineer regiments already organized, and several of which are now in Europe, are intended for work on military railroads only. It will be necessary to take over from the French or British engineers, as the case may be, such military fines as are needed to serve the American bases. This will be done as soon as the American forces in Europe reach a strength to justify the action
