 Secretary Houston who was called in- to the conference, made clear the ad- ministration's intentions concerning price control. It is not intended, he pointed out, to fix maximum prices gen. erally, but only in specific instances to force the unloading of hoarded stocks of food Minimum prices would be fixed generally to producers if neces- sarv to encourage production.
 The president said that in his opinion the three factors that will control the war situation, in the order of their i'm portance, are the actual fighting forces, control of the food situation, and con- trol of the transportation facilities of the country

'.FLORODORA" AT THE SnUBERT.

Following long series of requests
that he revive "Florodora" at the Shu
bert, Manager cambridge announces
that famous opera for next week, fol-
lowing the successful run of '"The Man
Who Owns Broadway" now playing
at the theatre. No light opera ever writ
ten, scored both the artistic and Won
derful financial success recorded by
''Florodora" at the Casino theatre, New
York City, where it ran continuously
for nearly two years. The music of
the opera swept over the country with
fre-like rapidity, and the royalties from
the sale of the score alone netted the
owners a fortune. Even at the rra~~--'
time, the music from the famous sex
tette of "Florodora" is one of the most
popular talking machine records offer
ed in music stores.
Young folk of the present generation
next week will be given an opportunity
to see and hear an opera that fascinated
their elders a score of years ago, and
the same elders will be afforded an
other chance to hear "Florodora" all
over again. The story narrated in the
book of the opera is interesting and the
music unusually melodious, and stage
director Price and musical director
Mobley, are planning to give Shubert
patrons a very finished performance of
the once famous opera After reading
through the dialogue of the play, and
listening to it's music, Manager Balm
bridge is convinced that "Florodora"
compares most favorably with any of
the latter day offerings of light opera
or musical comedies.

to Offensive Tramp Steam
ers When Investigated

Washington, April 7.-RepOrts OF
German commerce raiders off Allan
tic ports were flashed along the sea-
board today and all shipping practi-
cally was tied up while naval pat
rol went out to establish the identity
Of the mysterious ships reported near
the shipping lanes. 1t was the first
breath of war at the doors of Amer
lea and it sent thrill through the
country.
Note Strange Ship.
The first report came from Man,
tucket lightship which saw a strange
ship passing west this morning anu
promptly reported it to the Boston
navy yard and the navy department.
Destroyer floatillas are at sea in the
vicinity, and presumably they heard
the wireless warnings which swept
the coast line and set out to locate
the mysterious craft. Meanwhile
shipping was warned not to venture
out.
Held in Port.
Soon after, came a report of
raider off Virginia capes from Hamp-
ton Roads. where shipping. also was
held in port while armed craft went
to sea to investigate.
Navy officials expect many reports
of raiders while the seacoast is at
high tension and many such probably
will turn out to be unOffending
tramps. No precautions are being
overlooked, however, and the naval
patrol is on the alert to examine all
strange ships. ''."N
Consider it Strange.
Officials considered it would be
strange for raider to venture so
close to guarded ports. They would
expect a raider to lie off at sea on
the edges of the shipping lane, in
stead of venturing close enough to
shore to be observed and reported.
1t was considered not improbable
that the wireless warnings caused
by the mysterious ships passing Nam
tucket were heard all along the coast
and might be responsible for other
reports of another commerce raider
lying in wait.
The first alarm of the German
American war was spread on the
New England coast today.
The Nantucket shoals lightship
flashed to the navy radio station
here that German commerce raid
er had passed the lightship bound
west. Instantly plans for the navy
for just such situation became op-
erative. There was assurance that
if the audacious warship held her
course, she would be given warm
reception.
200 Miles From New York.
Meantime shipping in the vicinity
was warned to make port or hold its
anchorage. The raider was directly
in the lane for westbound shipping
and not more than 200 miles by the
usual course from New York.
The supposed raider showed two
masts and huge smokestack. She
appeared to be about 10000 tons ana
some shipping men who heard this
description expressed the opinion
that she was an armed cruiser dis
guised as merchantmen.

WILD FLUCTUATIONS.

Chicago, April THE appearance
of a supposed sea raider followed by
a pessimistic government crop report
caused wild fluctuations in the wheat
market here today. At one point,
May wheat sold at $2.l2, 6 to GA
cents higher than the previous close.
Opening sales were made at $2O7R
to $2.06h2. The appearance OF the
raider caused a drop to $204B. Then
on the crop report, quotations made
a perpendicular leap to 1912.
Accepting wheat crop conditions
shown by government crop report as
calamity, the wheat market later
advanced sensational from SIS cents
per bushel for May option to 1871
cents for September. July advanced
2% cents. May corn sold up to 5A
cents and May oats rs cents.
