The Austrian crews are said to have
revolted under the i'll treatment of of.
ficers and bad food while the clash
with the German submarine crews
was caused by the overbearing coz
duct Of the latter.
The dispatches say the tension be.
tween the Austrian and German crews
became so alarming that extraordin-
airy measures were taken to prevent
a recurrence of the fighting between
them. The fighting between the two
sets of crews is described as having
been sanguinary.
This news Of mutiny in the Austrian
navy, received almost at the same
time as Amsterdam dispatches re-
porting further mutinies in the Ger
man navy-this time among subma-
rine crews-created a profound i'm
preston among American naval Of
ficers and among other officials who
have been watching the situation with
expectation since the first mutinies
in the German feet were reported a
few days ago.
The first signs of mutiny in the
German fleet were regarded as most
significant, since unlike the army it
has endured little Of the hardship of
campaigning. Dispatches from abroad
confirm the opinion of American ma
val officers that it probably was due
in part at least to the drafting Of
seamen for submarine crews, a serv-
ice which has come to hold terrors

the infiexible British policy of never

Fring of Wheat Price Is Delayed
 for Short Time
(By Review Leased Wire).

WASHINGTON. August 2S.-The committee headed by Dr. H. A. Gar field named by President Wilson to recommend the price for 1917 wheat crop failed to reach an agreement to- night and will continue deliberations tomorrow.
 It had been announced that price would be fixed at tonight's meeting.
 Members of the committee declined to discuss the situation but it is un- derstood several votes were taken. It had been declared earlier that three forrths voete would determine the price.
 The fact that a conclusion was not reached was taken to mean that con siderable differences of opinion has developed as to what is a fair valua- ton of the crop.
 The basic price fixed will be for No. northern wheat or its equivalent. Prices for other grades and classes will be left to the food administration which will work out scale within the next few days.
 Representatives of the grain pro- dusing interests on the committee have contended for a high price be- cause of the short crop. arguing that since congress has fixed an arbitrary price of s2 for mex years yield. with every prospect of increased arceage this years crop is worth a much high CT figure.
 It is general pre- dicted that the price will be between s2 and s2.30.

ARGENTINE WINS DIRECT PROMISE
 FROM GERMANY
Decided Change in Foreign Policy of Imperial German Government Seen in Prom ise of Indemnity to. Argen- tina
(By Review Leased Wire).

N0J 4hCfAC" 6~co~4 W ASgs BUENOS AIRES, August 2S.-Ger- many's reply to Argentina's note em- bodying demands in connection with the submarine campaign as affecting Argentine shipping has been received. In official circles it was stated that the reply was satisfactory.
 Germany Modifies Blockade.
 The note says that Germany. ''in order to maintain friendly relations with Argentina, is willing to modify her blockade of enemy coasts. allow ing freedom of the seas to vessels un- der the Argentine flag carrying food" The note also promises the payment of an indemnity for the sinking of the Argentine steamer Toro by a German submarine.
 indemnity Promised.
 This indemnity is to be arranged by German and Argentine appraisers. The note probably will be given out for publication officially tomorrow. Both the foreign minister and the president were outspoken in their indignation to- day that an intimation of the contents of the note was given to an after noon newspaper by County von Lux burg the German minister before it was made public by the Argentine gov ernment thus preventing secret con sideration of the document before the gist of the reply was generally known.
 The Note.
 The note:
 "The German imperial government desires to maintain cordial relations with Argentina. and. to prove with facts its friendly sentiments, has de- cided, after a new investigation of the Toro case, to indemnify the Argentine government.
 'The imperial German government declares at the same time that the freedom of the seas, in which Argen- tine shipping would share. would form one of the objects of this answer.
 Navy Instructed.
 "The naval forces of the German empire have received orders and in structions in agreement with this viewpoint and the imperial German government is convinced that after these declarations no incident will oc- cur to disturb the friendly relations between German and Argentina. "(Signed)
 "LUXBURG."
 Foreign Policy Modified.
 BUENOS AIRES, August 2S.-La Epoca. the mouthp!ece of the presiden- tial party. says concerning the German note:
 Germany accepts Argentina's claims. She comedies ample satisfac- tion and promises indemnity and what is more. guarantees the future inviola- bility of Argentine's sovereignty in the blockaded zone. This diplomatic triumph exceeds most optimistic hopes considering that Germany enlisted the United States among her enemies and caused a dup ture with Brazil by denying them the same rights she now has conceded in order to maintain the principle which | inspired her submarine blockade" La Epoca believes the note indicates | a modification of Germany's foreign | policy.
