ularies to replace the militia, 1t is un-
derstood, was formulated.

WEIRD STORY FROM WYOMING.


Cody, Wyo.-David Grootch,
stenographer of Jonesboro. Ark, who
was found on Il small island in the
Shoshone river near here by Under
sheriff Walter Barber, told weird
story Sunday of having been mnrooned
for twenty-five days on the island
within sight of wagon road over
which people were constantly travel
ing. During this time he said his
only nourishment was water.
Grootch said he had been working
on Il ranch near here and came to
Cody for visit. He set out for n
walk toward the river when his men,
ory left him.
When he regained consciousness he
found himself on the island 200 rods
below a wagon bridge. He could not
swim and the current was too swift
for him to wade.
Finally, Grootch said, he became
so weak he could not stand and lay
helpless in the underbrush until n
passerby saw him.

GROWN PRINCE IS
SACRIFICING MEN
CONTINUES TO THROW BEST OF
GERMAN TROOPS IN BATTLE
WITHOUT SUCCESS.
Desperate Fighting Shows French
VaIor, Attack After Attack With Un-
precedented Rapidity Being Re-
pulsed by Sturdy Frenchmen.

Paris.-The crown prince continues
to throw the best German troops into
battle In a vain endeavor to win back
his positions on the Aisne and IN the
Champagne.
The French are displaying the same
tenacity and stoicism that gained them
the Verdun victory, beating off every
attack
The fighting is OF the most desper-
ate character, attack and counter
attack succeeding one another with
great rapidity while the gun prepara-
tlon Is always OF the most intense
sort.
Sundays assault on the one-mile
front between Pantheon farm and the
Chevregny spur was a spite battle
ordered by the German command. The
French seized number Of valuable
trenches here on July 30, and, accord
ing to prisoners, the enemy staff had
warned the Forty-third reserve divi
sion that it would get no rest until ii
had regained the positions it had lost
After an all-night bombardmeni
three battalions supported by two adj
ditional companies of "stosstraphen'
{shock troops), and flame-throwers
advanced on the battered trenches
But they encountered some Of the fin
est French troops, the foot chasseurs
under command of General Brissaut
Desmaillet, who inflicted terrible
slaughter In savage hand-to-hand fight
ing.
The battle lasted all day, but just
before dark the French turned theil
special guns on fragment of q trench
where the enemy still had precarious
footing and compelled its abandon
ment. The Germans left behind greal
heaps of corpses and many prisoners
were taken.

PLANS BEING LAID BY FOOD AD-
MiNIsTRAToR FOR CONTROL OF
WHEAT, FLOUR AND BREAD.
All Speculation In Foodstuffs to Be
Placed Under Ban, With Prosecution
Certain for Those Holding Sup
plies Exceeding Business Needs.

Washington-Herb c. Hoover.
the food administrators announced. on
August y, the plan for the control of
wheat, flour and bread
they are specific and comprehensive.
They have been worked out fully in
view of the disrupting and disturbing
conditions of the European war and
the part this country still has to play
They provide:
1-For the vigorous prosecution OF
all persons who hold more wheat and
flour than is required In their normal
business.
For the maintenance of fair
price throughout the country, by seiz-
Ing, If necessary, the entire 1917 har-
vest and determining the cost to the
consumer
3-For food administration agencies
at the principal wheat terminals
throughout the country.
4-For the restriction of storage to
thirty days unless special permit is
given by the food administration.
5-For the elimination of specula-
ton by compelling all mills and ele-
vntors with more than one hundred
barrels daily capacity to take gut
government license.
Effective September I.
The regulations will go into effect
on September !.
MIR. Hoover believes that by rigid ap-
plication of the regulations the price
of wheat can be stabilized throughout
the year.
With the price of wheat stabilized
it is believed that the price of flour
will conform and thus stabilized
price of bread will be maintained
