II of Pershing's Men
In FIoboken Hospital
Are Invalided Home for
Mumps and Other Unwar-
like Diseases

Seventeen members of the American
EYpeditionary Force have been inva-
lided home from France and are in St.
Msry's Hospital, Hoboken. it was
learned Yesterday. Two of them have
the mumps. and the ailments OF none
of the other fifteen are due to bullets,
high explosives, gas or anythings else
more warlikc than kidney disease.
On their arrival in France. according
TO DR.. Blankenship, house physician Of
St Mary's. the soldiers were subjected
TO a rigid physical examination. The
seventeen at St. Mary's were among
those sifted out, and after undergoing
treatment in France, they were sent
back. DR.. Blankenship said that he
understood they were to be discharged
from the army when they were able TO
leave the hospital.
Rumors that American soldiers had
been sent 20 the hospital had been rife
all day. 1t was reported that already
the American troops had been in action,
and those were not wanting who could
paint an cnsanguined picture Of the en-
cagement and name the very trench
section occupied b. the Americans. DIR.
Blankenshlp made this statement after
he was informed or the rumors.
The men in the hospital were mem
bers of the first contingent 70 sail.

Enemy's Lire

LONDON. Aug. 27.-Fresh Austrian
forces, believed TO have been hurried
into the Italian war theatre from the
Rumsnian front. have enabled the Aus
trian command to offer sitter resist.
snce to the Italian advance across the
Bainsizza plateau. But General Ca
dorna reports that the troops OF MS
Second Army have again overcome the
enemy defence az various points and
are in a position to make new progress
toward the eastern edge Of the great
tableland.
Rome admits that the struggle IN TINS
sector has assumed a renewed violence
due to "the extreme desperation OF
the enemy" That the fortunes OF
the dsv were fuctuating is indicated
by the fact that the Italian War once

oners. about a sixth Of the number
taken daily while the Austrisns we're
retreatinc after their main positions
had been turned.
Nevertheless Vienna confesses con-
siderable withdrawal all along TINS
front. and il is unoflicially stated that
all the heavy Austrian artillery has
been removed to Chiapovano, more
than ten miles east of the bend OF the
IsonZo River. The Italian army has
not vet been able to bring its heavy
pieces up over the difficult ground and
the battle is being fought on both sides
with guns Of light and medium caliore'
Italian ai- squsdrons, assisted by
French and British hers, arc carrying
the fight resolutely into enemy terri
tory and are not only bombing lines
of communication throughout the
length OF the Chispovano Valley, but
are attacking troop formations on the
hattie lines. Rome declares that they
are Sowing destruction III the enemy
lines and Increasing the disorder OF
hurried retreat"
At other points southwark to the
Adriatic Sea the battle is not raging
so fiercely, though Italian Alpine con.
tingents are attacking the slopes OF
San Gabrielle. mountain stronghold

most sure to fall. as il is dominated by
the greater height Of Monte Ssnto. up
which Cadorna can nov bring his artll-

AN ATLANTIC PORT. Aug. 27.-De-
struction OF a German submarine with
all hands by British submarine in the
Atlantic was described to-day b. the
captain of steamer which was tor
pedoed by the U-boat. The trader re-
turned here from a British port after
being repaired.
According to the captain of the trad
er, the German submarine opened gun
fire when the torpedo failed to send
the merchant ship TO the bottom. The
traders crew. who had taken 10 the
boats. witnessed the arrival of the Brit
ish submarine and its attack. The Ger
man U-boat was broken in two and
sunk by a torpedo.
The steamship crew then boarded
their vessel, numped her out and

Strict Rationing
For All Neutrals
Licenses Must Be Obtained
for All Shipments to
Europe

WASHINGTON, Aug. q. - Presi-
dent Wilson frightened the governments
control of exports tonight by issuing
an order forbidding the shipment of
any goods TO European neutral countries
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 in
clude cotton, all meats, sugar and most
Of Americas other export commodities.
In a statement accompanying his
proclamation the Preside,t said one of
the first intentions Of the government
would be 70 see that no American prod
uets are made "the occasion Of benefit
to the enemy. either directly or indi-
rectly" officials interpreted the order
as forecasting a vigorou: use of the
export control as a war weapon and
policy Of the strictest rationing of
countries contiguous o Germany.
Exports TO Germany and her allies
also are formally prohibited by the
Presidents order. and this is under
stood to mean that the export control
is about to supersede the British sys-
TEN of giving letters of assurance for
American cargoes. Up to now there has
been nothing except the British block
sde to prevent the shipment of Ameri-
an goods to Germany. To-night's or
ar in this respect accomplishes one

Want Food Prices Fixed

TRENTON. y. J.. Aug. Ex-Governor
Edge wants the government to fix all
prices that may be charged for food by
successive dealers from the producer to
the consumer.
Il am convinced" he said yesterday
that the proper kind of Fed 2rsl food
control law enforced to the letter will
produce some startling reductions in
food prices.
From my investigation in New Jer-
sey have not found that the producer
is the man receiving abnormal profits.
"The publication OF their excess prof
its has had some effect upon retailers.
For example. last week in Atlantic City
they cxscted 900 per cent profit on the
farm price. This wek il had dropped
to $50 per cent. Jersey City and New
York City were contest with 50 per
cent"

BERLIN. Aug. 27.-Dr. Won Stumm,
Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs,
has been granted leave of absence,
owing TO ill-health. II is not known
whether he will return 20 the Foreign
Office or be assigned to some other
post. Baron Won Dem Bussche-Had-
denhausen will act in his stead.
DR.. Won Stumm was said to have
criticised an article in the North
German Gazette" aimed at refuting
Ambassador Gerard's exposure Of Ger
man pre-war moves. For this reason,
il is asserted, he was granted leave
Of absence, but this is denied in off,
cial quarters.

Al one time. and it would be illegal
for any person 70 have in his pos
session more than 81 900 worth of the

This provision was made mas
much as il IS the intention OF the
Treasury Department TO make these
bonds attractive 10 small investors
through the payment of liberal in
terest rate and by issuing the bonds
in small denominations. such as 50
and $40. The amount of interest to be
allowed on such bonds is not pre-
scribed in the bill, but is left to the
discretion of the Secretary Of the
Treasury.
From an authoritative source 1t is
learned that the plan IS 10 put the
bonds out through the postal savings
system a. far as possible.
They would bear probably . per
cent interest. although this question
has not been definitely determined
pending the passage Of the bill.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.-Prcsident
Wilson to-day pledged TO New Russia
the limitlcss aid Of the United states.
In a message TO the National Coun-
Gil. at Moscow. the President assured
Premier Kcrensky the support Of
America in his determination that "all
attempts with armed force against the
people's power will be crushed with
blood and iron"
The Presidents Official note 70 the
Moscow Conference. through kerenshy,
wielder of the new power in Russia,
was brief but expressive. 1t follows:
President OF the National Council
Assembly, MoscoC:
take the liberty TO send 10 the
members Of the great council now
meeting in Moscow the cordial greet
ings of their friends, the people OF
the United States, to express their
confidence in the ultimate triumph
of ideals of democracy and self-gov-
ernment against all enemies within
and without, and to give their re
ncwed assurance Of every material
and moral assistance they can cx-
tend TO the government of Russia in
the promotion Of the common cause
in which the two nations are unset
fshly united.
WOODROW WILSON.
"Ultimatum TO Anarchy"
Premier Kercnsky's address TO the
Moscow Conference was described by
officials here to-day to have been an
"ultimatum to anarchy" Great inter
es. was manifested in a declaration by
the Premier believed to have referred
TO the Pontifical peace proposal. keren-
sky said:
"A few days ago We witnessed an
other attempt Ito conclude peacel,
equally base. directed against our Al
lies. The latter rejected It with equal
indignation, and in the name OF the
great Russian people say TO our al
lies that il was the only reply we eX-
pected OF them :,
The quoted passage was connected
here with the Petrograd agency an
nouncement concerning the Pope's pro-
posal. which declared:
'In view of the fact that no mention
is made in the Papsl note OF Russia
the Provisional Government has unsni-
mously decided 10 ignore the inter
yention of the Pope
Both the State Department and the
Russian Embassy professed 10 have no
dispatches from Petrograd or Moscow
relating 10 the peace proposal. but IN
Russian circles it was declared that II
Tho news dispatch from Moscow was
authentic. il means that Russia would
not tolerate the ignoring OF her posi-
ton in the war, and could not counte-
nance any proposition Of peace which
detailed how certain settlements might

ton OF disputed territory. but failed

Enormous Profits Made.

Il has been admitted that with rates
fixed in the present bill certain steel
and powder makers will still have
hugely swollen profits, in one instance
5000. .0OO. 900. even after they have paid
their excess profits tax. The British
rates upon war profits run as high as
so per cent.
The radicals in the Senate viii! make
an effort TO put our rates on a par
with the British. They expect 70 fail.
They may succeed in getting them TO
so per cent for the maximum. The
rates. however. should not be deter
mined this way, but should bear an
intimate relation 10 the price-hxing
plans of the Administration and TO the
social purposes it has in view. Per
laps they will before the House and
the Conference committees OF both
houses are through with the legisls-
tion.
Things move slowly here, but have
a way of getting themselves done.
