San Francisco, Cal-Rufus Patter-
son, a private detective, convicted OF
placing bomb in the pocket Of labor

cape, while the pickets would be ar
rested.

CAR NICHOLAS Is MOVED
FROM PALACE TO SIBERIA

Petrograd, August 16.-The semi
official Russian news agencies an
nounce that former Emperor Nicholas
and his family were removed from
the palace at Tsarskoe-Selo and that
it was reported they were being trans
ported to TObolsk, Siberia. y
They were removed in an ordinary
train instead of the gorgeous imperial
train on which Nicholas was brought
to the palace. The former emperor
appeared to be very much depressed.
former Empress Alexandra seemed to
be pleased at the prospect of change.
n. V. Nekrasoff, vice premier. said
that the removal of Nicholas was de-
cided on after a series of secret ses-
sions of the council of ministers late
last month. The motives of the min
listers, he said, are political and mill
tary. 1t was decided to get Nicholas
out of the way before circumstances
arose making it difficult. When the
former emperor reaches his destina-
ton the facts will be announced.

ALLIED ARMIES ARE STILL
GOING AHEAD IN FLANDERS
British and French Are Now Looking
Back on One of the Greatest
Achievements of the War

British Front in France and Bel
GUM, August 1S.-Another phase of
the battle of Flanders has ended and
the entente allies are looking back on
one of the great achievements of the
war Attack against the Germans east
of Ypres, which resulted in such san
culinary fighting, has not accomplish
ed the advance desired, but the great
push to the north of here represents
one of the remarkable accomplish
ments of the year.
The French are now consolidating
the positions won and the British are
establishing themselves well beyond
Langemarck, their forward positions
being about half mile to the east
of that place.
Fighting is still continuing at vari-
Gus points where the Germans are at
tempting to regain lost ground, but
the positions remain much the same
as at the close of Thursdays battle
In the Lens theater of operations
the Canadians have added still another
section of the German defenses to the
positions already wrested from the
enemy. The Canadians attacked
strongly fortified trench system just a
little northwest of Lens and after sew
eral hours of fierce fighting materially
advanced their lines.

GOVERNMENT PREPARES TO
BUY YEARS WHEAT CROP
Fifty Million Dollar Corporation Form
ed by Food Administration to
Stabilize Prices

Washington. August 16-The food
administration has prepared to take
over the entire 1917 wheat crop if nee
essary to stabilize prices throughout
the year. 1t formed $50OOO,OOO cor
poration with all of the stock held by
the federal government, to buy and
sell wheat at the principal terminals.
The move was the first of series
to be taken to reduce the price of
bread. Millers already have agreed to
put themselves under voluntary regu-
lations and are working out with the
food administration differential of
profits Distribution of flour by whole
salers and the baking of bread will be
taken up next.
The hope of the food administration
is to establish q scale of prices from
the farm to the grocery store. elm
mating undue profits, and ending
speculation. The maintenance of
standard price for wheat, its officials
believe is the first and most neces-
sary step.

just as the first grey streaks of dawn
We're appearing. All night the British
big guns had been pouring a steady
stream of high explosive shells into
the German positions.
The British barrage was without
flaw. Behind it the Canadians mount
ed Hill 40 and swept along the rest
of the line.
The first serious resistance from
where the enemy was entrenched
strongly in connected cellars and here
sanguinary fighting occurred. Lens be-
fore the war had a population of 3d.
600, but it is now q mass of ruins.
Following their usual tactics, the
Germans had carried out systematic
destruction of the houses and had
constructed strong underground de-
lenses. The whole city is undermined.
The effect of the British preliminary
bombardment was most demoralizing
to the enemy. Prisoners already taken
were in q dazed state as the result of
the terrific bombardment they had I'M
dergone and it is not strange, perhaps,
that when the British began their bar
rage fire, many Germans were seen to |
desert their posts and flee to the rear. |
The capture of Hill 20 is another |
triumph for British fighting organ
cation. Wounded Canadians returning
from the heart of the battle were loud
n their praise of the perfection achiev-
I'd in preparation and the efficient pro-
ectiOn afforded by the artillery.
The extreme depth reached in the
irst stage was 800 yards and this
vas achieved in 90 minutes.
A considerable number of German
prisoners are beginning to arrive at
he British camp and it is remarked
hat many are mere lads. Some of
hem apparently are not more than II
ears of age.

ALL AMERICAN SHIPS WILL
BE C0MMANDEERED SOON

Washington. August 14.-Comman-
deering of American tonnage now on
the seas will be begun by the shipping
board as soon as an operating depart
tment can be organized and practical
shipping man can be found to head
1t. The board has the names of several
men under consideration and probably
will make an announcement within q
few days.
The board deems it unwise to take
over for operation any ships until q
definite plan is formed and until II
has an organization to handle the YES
sells.
Two plans are before the board.
One calls for government operation
of all ships requisitioned and the other
for a system Of communicating char.
tiers. Under the latter plan the yes.
sells would be turned back to their
owners for operation under direction
of the boards operating department
The latter plan probably will be
adopted.
