Wheat Price for 1917
Likely To Be So
Carfeld's Committee Says IL
May Be Higher, but Will
Not Exceed $2.10

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The price
to be paid by the wheat purchasing
division of the Food Administration
for the 1917 wheat crop will be ap-
proximately 50 bushel.
II was learned to-day that the COM
mittee appointed by the President to
fix fair basic price for government
purchases is nearly ready to make an
announcement of its decision and that
farmers need not be alarmed that the
government will fix low price.
officials in close touch with the stu
alton said that while the exact price
to be paid has not been determined
the committee has found nothing to
Justify scaling the price much below
50. and that the investigation probably
would warrant figure slightly in ex-
cess Of SO a bushel, but not over S2.lO.
The committee, headed by President
Harry A. Garfield, is now in session
here and must complete its work by
September 1.

Us. Planning Aid for Russia in Crisis;
Germans Push Five Miles Nearer Riga

quate to mfet the needs OF the ma
ton, either civil or military.
Fresh and stronger measures have
been taken by the Provisional Gov
ernment to restore discipline In the
army, tribunals having been organ
lied for its enforcement.
Inadeouacy Of the food supply and
it's TRANSPORTATION form the most seri-
Gus economic problems, according to
the Russian Embassy, where it was
declared Russia is suffering from no
shortage Of ammunition.
II is probably the shortness OF the
time in which relief can be afforded
to Russia which has led to the pres
ent excitement over her future. II is
likely that means of improving the
railway situation will be at once
rushed to Russia. The Petrograd gov
erpnent will be favored above all the
Allies in the shipment OF locomotives,
cars and steel rails as long as trafic
remains open.
Priority Difficult Question
The question of priority among the
Allies in shipments like these is one
of great difficulty, for the needs of
several countries are pressing. And
there has been a disposition in some
quarters to think that little could be
hoped for from Russia in the future
and that it would be better for this
country to extend its first aid to more
efficient fighting nations. Apparently
the view of the United States upon
questions like this will be more inde-
pendent in the future and less colored
by the opinions of the more important
Allies. And there are indications that
the recommendations of the Root mis-
sion will be followed and a special
effort made TO sustain the Kerensky
government and keep Russia in the
lists against Germany.
Whether Russia would be in a posi-
tion 20 conduct an offensive next spring
was said TO depend upon this question
of materials. Russian Embassy off,
cials declined to make any prediction,
and refrained from divulging any fur
ther information on that point, assert
ing that il would not be in the mill
tarv interest. Il was declared TO be
the Russian view that any discussion
Of military possibilities in Russia
would be unwise and wholly unrell-
able.
The embassy, il was stated, had
been in communication with the State
Department, and had not been in
formed Of any alarming reports re-
ceived from Petrograd. II was be-
lieved that if any such reports had
been received the embassy would have
been informed. Newspaper accounts
of military disasters come 70 pass or
innpending in Russia we're said to be
fantasies in the minds Of the news
paper men" At the same time the
embassy official admitted that the en-
bassy had no new reports on the mill
tary situation in Russia.

New England Troops
To Go Next to France
Guard Ordered to Mobilize at
Once for Foreign
Service

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The War
Department to-day ordered General
Clarence R. Edwards, in command OF
the Goth New England National Guard
Division, to mobilize his command at
once for foreign service. AdJutant
General Mccain authorized the state
ment that the New England Guard
division would be sent to France at
once. The port of embarkation has
been selected, but, of course, will be
kept secret.
Besides the New England troops, u
is believed that in the near future the
Northwestern National Guard division,
comprising troops from Washington
Oregon. Montana, Wyoming and Idaho,
will be sent to France. The Northwest
division is to be modified at Charlotte.
n. c., within the next week, according
to reliable information, and after
about six weeks training, will be
shipped abroad.
War Department officials decline to
explain the change in plans which re-
suited in the order 70 send the New
England troops to France without pre-
vious intensive training. II is under
stood, however. that the availability OF
transportation facilities at this time
had much to do with the change.

Policy of "Might"
Is Doomed, Asserts
German Secretary

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 23.-"A policy
based on might alone and not on right
is doomed to failure from the begin
ming" was the admission made by DR..
Richard Won Kuehlmann, German I'm
perial Foreign Secretary, in his maiden
speech TO the Main Committee Of the
Reichstag yesterday. The new Secre-
tary. according to a telegram from
Rerlin. dwelt on the tremendous re-
sponsiblity in assuming ofice when
the country is beset by the mightiest
of enemies without and grave dlficul-
ties within"
DR.. Won Kuehlmann laid down the
following programme: First, the main
tenance Of cordial relations with Ger
many's allies and. second, with the neu-
trails, whose right and necessary con-
ditions Of existence we shall be most
careful TO respect as far as is com
patible with enemy trickery and our
own military needs
"To arrest further detection Of I'M
portant neutrals is an extremely
serious and important task confront
ing u.s." said DR.. Kuehlmann. we
can only solve II successfully by ob-
serving the principle that In politlcs
might counts, but also right, and
that only if we base our conduct on
both can we hope to achieve lasting
results. Furthermore, We still nave
relations with the belligerents, al
though, of course, official relations are
ruptured. yet currents OF pubic
opinion watt across the border line OF
the trenches.
"Wa have finally to consider our re-
lations with our enemies. Although
direct diplomatic relations have been
broken, public opinion is not bound by
frontiers made by our guns and
trenches. Our newspapers reach enemy
countries, and we study enemy jour
nails. Every official remark. even
though uttered in confidential con-
versation, reaches our enemies in some
form or other, or goes as an echo. IL
is our important duty 10 study the
psychology of our enemies, TO follow
their intrigues and the changing cur
rents of public opinion, so that our
hand may not be profered when the
spirit Of our enemies is hard and un-
bending, and also so that sharp words
may not be said when the ice on the
other side is melting and concili-
atory feeling is beginning 10 be shown.
There is also the factor of rela-
tions between the German federal
states and the Reichstag. / ask
the Reichstng 10 give me its con-
fidence. Now, when we probably are
beginning the last year of the war
and ! say it after mature consideration
we desire, as far as my department
is concerned, 10 begin with the firm
intention Of holding out until satis-
factory end has been reached, trusting
in our Incompatible army and its
great commanders, in our young and
brilliant feet and in the sound sense
of the German people. | hope for a
peace which will guarantee Germany
in future against recurrence Of the
sufferings OF these times"

Overthrow Michaelis, il

tions of Neutrals, Says
Foreign Secretary

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 23.-A large sec
tion of the Berlin papers profess keen
disappointment over the Chancellor's
speech on the Pope's peace plan. The
"Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung''
even goes so far as to proclaim the
necessity of the Chsncellor's overthrow,
adding: "Only a man with definite
plans can in these times conclude peace
and create a new order in affairs" This
standpoint is shared by the "Vosssche
Zeitung."
The "Lokal Anzeiger" says that the
Reichstag session leaves a painful inn
preston, adding: "A majority of the
Reichstag seems to consider the peace
resolution as a sort of creed, which
must be subscribed to word for word
by the government"
The "Morgen Zeitung" says: "Dr
Michaels's first act in the main COM
mittee has been failure"
"Vorwaerts" blames the pan-Ger-
mans for not permitting the conflict
which was temporarily solved by a
change in the Chancellorship, to rest,
and says that they would not hesitate
to plunge the empire, amid a most ter
rible war, into anarchy.
The Pan-German "Deutsche Kurier'
says that Dr. Michaelis in yesterday
remarks asserted that he did not intend
by his declaration on the Reichstag'
peace resolution to bind himself to any
particular condition, because ne must
retain an absolutely free hand for the
peace negotiations. He hoped, how
ever, to bring about peace within the
limits of the Refchstag resolution.
Matthias Erzberger, member of the
Clerical Centre, had preceded the Chan
cellor in a sharp speech, in which ht
declared himself in favor of the Reichs
tag peace resolution, the whole resolu'
ton and nothing but the resolution
which, he said, had had good effect IN
enemy countries and now had found
noteworthy echo in the Pope's proposal

Russian Armies, Now
Rapidly Retiring, May
Make Stand at River
Aa Remainder Of
East Front Stands
Firm

LONDON. Aug. 23.-The German ad-
vance upon Riga continues, apparent
ly with little opposition. Petrograd
announces that General Letchitsky' s
forces, under enemy pressure. have re-
tired from Raggedzem and Kemmern,
where they stood on Wednesday, to the
Lake Schloyira and Frankendorf sec
tor, which indicates total withdrawal
Of about FIVE miles along the coastal
strip. Berlin declares that the Rus
slams have evacuated all the region
west of the River Aa to the Oding-
Bigaun front. while German troops oc-
cupied the intervening territory with
out having to fight for it. However,
it was an intense concentration of
Teuton artillery which precipitated
the retreat, and the fact that the Rus
SLAMS are burning villages indicates
that the retirement is likely to be
permanent.
There is yet no means OF telling
how important this movement may be-
come. At this point the Russian lines
were somewhat extended. and the Riv-
er IA forms natural obstacle TO
Teutonic progress which Letchitsky
may employ TO advantage. The stream

due east, and its northern bank be-

By G. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The pres-

ences with the Administration and the
belief members Of the Root mission ex-
press in the possibility of keeping Rus
sia an important factor in the war are
about tho only outstanding facts in the
Russian situation as ii appears in

TO more active support Of Russia by
the American government All the rest
is rumor and mystery, the rumor
springing from the mystery, of which
there seemed TO be an utterly unneces-
sary amount
The State Department left it un-
checked. Rumor had il that Riga had
fallen, that Petrograd was threatened,
that the capital was to be moved TO

ENJOY BATHING IN
LITTLE SEQUATGHIE RIVER

Large numbers of people enjoy
bathing and swimming in Lit
tie Sequatchie River near here,
and many enjoyed the Fourth
along it's banks and splashing
in its cool waters. 1t is an ideal
river for bathing in, with clear,
clean water, and free from dan
gerous holes, so that the most in
experienced may safely venture
in. Year after year the swim
ming and bathing feature of en-
joyment in this valley increases,
and people who acquired the
bathing propensity from a close
acquaintance with the pleasures
of the Florida beaches now find
as much enjoyment in diving into
the pleasant waters of Little Sc
quatchie. Besides this it is dis
tinctly the most beautiful little
river in the state, as is testified
by hundreds of people, including
artists and photographers who
have invaded its precincts.
