NO AGREEMENT IS . YET REACHED ON 191 ] WHEAT PRICE Committee Holds Another Prolonged Session With
 out Taking Action WIDE DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ON QUESTION Three-Fourths Vote Must Decide. President May Have to Name
 Figure From Several
 Submitted

washington, August 29.--Another prolonged session today failed to bring the wheat price committee to n con- clusion as to price for the 1ai7 crop.
 When an nll-day meeting adjourned tonight it was announced the com mittee would go into session again to- morrow with the prospect of fixing n price before the day was over. To this brief announcement Dr. H. A. Garfield, the chairman. added the statement that the committee is weighing every com sideration carefully and that all ques- tions are receiving serious study.
 Reports persisted tonight that wide difference of opinion had developed as to what Is fair price. The committee sew eral days ago agreed that it should re- quire three-fourths vote to set any figure. Representatives of the producing interests, it is said. are holding out for a price higher than other members are will ing to concede.
 When the price finally is determined the committees recommendation will be transmitted directly to President Wilson and the price will be announced from the White House. This plan drew the sugges- tion tonight that in event the committee cannot agree on a price. two or more figures might be given to the President and decision left to him.
 The committee has II members besides Dr. Garfield. Representing wheat grow CTS and the farming interests include Charles J. Barrett of Georgia, president of the Farmers union. Members who rep resent the consumer and business inter- ests include w. N Doak of Roanoke, Va, vice president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, and R. c. Rhett of South Carolina, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States.

Following Tuesdays reports of the fall
 ing back by the Russians in eastern Bukowina toward the Bessarabia frontier
 comes the news that disloyal to their colors, the Russians in southern Moldavia from Fokshani northward, have quit their trenches and fled in disorder. The enemy
 by reason of this defecton, has material
 ly bettered his positions for an advance
 eastward, and at last accounts was con
 tinuing to develop his success. The Berlin war office says the Rus or wounded and have lost more than 1oo) men made prisoner and three guns and 50 machine guns.
 In addition they have given up splen-
 did vantage points guarding the ap-
 breaches to the Sereth river, the cross
 ing of which by the enemy, taken in con-
 nection with an invasion of Modavia
 from Bukowina, undoubtedly would re-
 suit in disaster to all Moldavia and also prove a valuable asset for a Teutonic advance toward Russian territory north
 of the bend in the Danube.
 Meanwhile, NJ Kerensky, the Russian
 premier has reiterated to the closing session of the conference at Moscow, the determination of the provisional govern ment to protect the results achieved by the revolution and declared that no coun- ter revolutionary attempts would be coun- tenanced.
 A continuation of the stormy weather
 is still holding up major operations in
 France and Belgium, although the Brit
 ish here and there still are engaged in minor trench raiding activities, in which small positions have been captured and aditional prisoners taken.
 The fighting on the Verdun front for the moment has reached pause, only the big guns being active. There have been artillery dues along the Aisne front. Hard fighting is in progress between the Italians and Austrians, on the Bain- sizza plateau, and on the heights around soriza In the former sector the Aus trians are defending tenaciousy pow crfully fortified line to which the Italians have come within striking distance. In the fighting the Italians are still using large numbers of airplanes, which are effectively bombarding enemy positions, More than 1000 additional prisoners and numbers of machine guns have been taken by the Italians.
 TO the south, on the Carsc plateau, the heavy fighting of last week has given way to artillery duels and patrol en- counters.

It is realized, however, by the en- tente representatives in Washington that President Wilson must have had some good and sufficient reason for act ing so quickly. Speculation ascribes the motive to a desire to impress Ia vorably the great Russian convention lat Moscow, while that body Is still in Ia plastic and receptive state. It also Iva suggested that the President might have wished to anticipate bJ his re- narkable state paper obstructive ac- tion by the pacifist elements In ana out of Congress in the United States. NO REJOINDER EXPECTED SOON No rejoinder from the Vatican Is ex- pected here in the immediate future' Comment from the press of Europe, in- cluding Germany and Austria, is await ed with interest Bitter attacks upon the American note by the German press and possibly condemnatory speeches py Herman officials are fully expected when the Presidents reply is finally allowed to leak through the censors to the German public. But for the pres- ent at least no more attempts at peace negotiations on the old basis, involv- ing continuance in power of the pres ent autocratic German regime is an- ticipated.
 SPIRIT OF REVOLT COMING
 While the Germans may wage war with added desperation because of the sweeping indictment of their methods, Sis confidently believed here that the irit of revolt will develop, steadily d rapidly among the people in Ger any bringing nearer the day when

Despite censorship regulations which prevented newspapers from publishing news of the going of the regiment, many persons gathered at the mobili- zation camp Wednesday to bid the sol diers farewell. Many were the tears shed as mother bade son good by, as sweetheart said the final words to her soldier or as wife bade her hus- band farewell until the coming of 6 brighter day for the American nation. Young brides spent the entire day with their soldier husbands, who had won them since the mobilization camp was opened here a year ago. Pathetic csenes were enacted throughout the day as companies swung into the company streets. out through the main streets of the camp and into the railroad yards where solid trains were placed for their reception. Pullman cars and tourist sleepers had been provided for the comfort of the men on the long 1ourney

NO DESTINATION GIVEN

Officers declined to say what was the destination of the regiment and even If they had given it out the vol untary censorship would prevent the publication of the fact at this time. No soldier knew what railroad would carry him to his American training camp. No one knew how long he would remain in America. All each knew was that this was the day for him to tell Alabama au revoir but not good by. Each soldier said he would return to his friends and loved ones. Many at tempted to lend laughter to those who had heavy hearts and to furnish the inspiration which would aid in bearing the burden.
 Eight trains were necessary to move the regiment of 3700 men. When the last section had departed late in the afternoon only about 2500 Alabama soldiers were left in camp. All others had been taken with the Fourth regi- ment. Each company had 25o or moro
