(Continucd from Page One) instance, leaves entirely alone the sit uation on the Cafso front, where pre- vious reports had announced progress for the Italians toward Trieste. On the front in France the Germans have been throwing counter attacks Verdun, but not only have the forces of General Petain maintained their gains in their entirety, but h7ve taken more than HOO additional prisoners. Likewise on the Aisne front the German crown prince is keeping up his offensive against the French, but here also the attempts met with complete failure.
 Along the front held by the British the operations have scarcely risen above the character of trench raids, although on various sectors vigorous artillery duels are in progress.
 The Berlin war office reports the cap ture of Russian positions near Jacob- stadt, between Riga and Dvinsk, on the northern Russian front, but makes no mention of a resumption of the opera tions begun last week east of Riga. In Rumania the lithuanian forces still are holding their own against the
 invaders, having retaken height positions northwest of Sovea which the Germans captured last week. On the Fokshani sector Field Marshal Won Mackensen' s forces seemingly have been unable to advance farther owing to the stiffening

PRESIDENT WILSON T|GHTENS CONTROL
 ON ALL EXPORTS

Washington, August 27.-President Wilson frightened the governments control of exports tonight by issuing an order forbidding the shipment of any goods to European neutral coun- tries except under license and by ex- tending the list for which license is required in shipment to the allies and neutrals other than European countries to include cotton, all meats, sugar and most of America's other export commodities.
 Tn a statement accompanying his proclamation the President said one of the first intentions of the government will be to see that no American prod ucts are made "the occasion of benefit to the enemy. either directly or indi- rectly." Officials interpreted the order as forecasting a vigorous use of the export control as war weapon and policy of the strictest rationing of countries contiguous to Germany
 Exports to Germany and her allies also are formally prohibited by the Presidents ordor and this is under. stood to mean that the export con trol Is about to supersede the British system of giving letters of assurance for American cargoes. Up to now there has been nothing except the British blockade to prevent the shipment of American goods to Germany. Tonight's order in this respect accomplishes one of the purposes sought in the trading with the enemy bill pending In Con gress.
 Coin, bullion. currency and evil dences of indebtedness are placed un- der export license restrictions to Eu- ropean neutrals whenever regulations governing their export have been pro- mulgated by the Secretary of the Treasury.
 The Presidents order contains the first formal announcement of the transfer of administration of the ex- port control from the department of commerce to the export administrative board, of which Vance Mccormick is chairman When the administrative board made the fact public a few days ago it was explained that the action was taken to facilitate the issuance of licenses

 Tn insisting on our rights, we feel sure that the game was being conduct ed in the same conscientious and straightforward manner in the other cities in the league as it has been in Atlanta. This statement of facts and the league records will show to the contrary and Atlanta fans are entitled to know what's what.
 "On their behalf we are asking only that the other clubs do what we have in complying with the rules, been com pelled to do. Nothing could be fairer.
