Aside from these main trenches OF

Each Of the main trenches forming
one line of each main position is a
series of connected bomb proofs, but
which are now developed into nothing
short of earth fortresses. Ammunition
supply depots are so laid out as to be
easily reached and yet so deep under

WILSON STRIVES TO
 KEEP PR.CES DOhN
President Urges Trade Commits sion to Act to Control Mark ets-TO Form Policy Repre- senting War Purchases.

Washington, Aug. r. President Wilson turned his attention today to the subject of war prices and paid a visit to the Federal Trade Commis- sion to urge expedition of investiga- tions to ascertain the costs of produc- ing materials required by the govern ment.
 At the presidents direction the commission has undertaken inquiries to determine production costs on most of the basic supplies for war uses, in- cluding coal, copper, coke, steel, iron, petroleum, tin, aluminium, wire, zinc, lead, cement, lumber and their deriva- tives.
 Announcement of definite policy representing war purchases and prices probably will be made soon. Adminis- tration officials have clearly defined ideas as to the course the government will pursue. War profits will be kept to a minimum and if producers and manufacturers show any great un- willingness to supply the country's war needs at reasonable prices, the governments power to commander materials will be invoked. The ad- ministration's hope is that this never will become necessary.
 The biggest problem is protection for the public. Although the propos- al is meeting determined opposition the administration intends that the allies shall share with this govern ment in reduced costs for supplies. It will be easy to accomplish this be- cause the American government, if negotiations with producers fail to produce the desired results, can go in- to the market and buy for it's asso- ciates.
 Heavy government purchases will tend to raise prices to private con- sumers and this presents an obstacle that is causing considerable concern. If there is any way to accomplish it, the administration desires to keep prices generally down without resort to legislation. Some officials believe this may be done in an indirect way when the new war industries board begins to decide priority of manufac- ture and shipment of goods.

ALLIES DELAY NEXT
 MOVE IN OFFENSIVE
Even the Artillery Activity Les sens on the Flanders Front Canadians Operating Against Lens Continue Successes.

New York, Aug. 7.-Aside from the Russian theater the hostilties on all the fronts are practically at a stand still. Bombardments at some points have attained fairly violent propor- tions and at various places small in- fantry maneuvers have occurred in Flanders, but as yet the operations have not taken on the aspect of a contemplated resumption of the big allied drive which the bad weather of last week brought to an abrupt end.
 The Canadians operating against Lens have again made successful thrusts into the environs of the al ready encompassed coal center. which apparently cannot hold out much longer. By the use of train fire the Germans are endeavoring to keep back further encroachments here, but even with this fire against them the intrepid Canadians continue almost daily to extend their saps and now are firmly ensconsed on the south and west outskirts of the town.

MARKET CLIMBS
 HIGHER, BREAKS
August Reaches New High Mark
 of 27.70-Close 42 Up to 9 LOwer-New Cotton Coming
 in Freely in Southern Texas.

New York, Aug. 7.-There was an- other advance at the opening of the cotton market today and August con- tracts sold at 2770, making a new high record for the season. Offerings increased around 26.5Oc for October and that delivery broke to 25.95c in the late trading, closing at 25.97c, with the general list closing steady, net 42 points higher to points liver.
 August showed the big advance, while other months were 9 points lower to points higher, as compared with last nights final figures.
 Bullish overnight spot advices and continued dry weather in the South west seemed chiefly responsible for the early buying. The market opened firm at an advance of to 26 points on covering and buying of the same character as that noted on the ad- vance of yesterday. Contracts were very scarce until the market showed net advances of about 44 to D points, with December selling at 26.21c and January at 26.20c during the middle of the day. This made an advance of about 210 to 21S points from the low level touched on the reaction of last Thursday. The more urgent demand in shorts then appeared to have been satisfied and the market broke pretty sharply during the afternoon under realizing and selling for a reaction. Texas advices say new cotton is com ing in very freely from the Southern part of the state. Port receipts to- day, 1O,766 bales. Unitd States port stocks, 566,109; exports, TOO; exports so far this season, 45,694 bales.

F10D CONTROL. BILL
 70 4 VOTE TODAY
Senate Expected to Adopt Con ference Report at 4 This Af- ternoon-Long Debate Near Close,

Washington, Aug. 7.-After anoth- ar days bedate of the administration food control bill, the Senate late to- dav reached formal agreement by unanimous consent to finally vote to- rorrow at o'clock on the conference report which was approved by the House last week.
 Both advocates and opponents of the legislation say there is no doubt of the Senate's approval of the con- ference report, probably by an over whelming majority Sending of the measure to President Wilson for his signature will be delayed until Fri day, because the House adjourned to- day until Friday, and the final draft must be signed by presiding officers of both houses.
 But few speeches are expected in the Senate tomorrow before the vote. Administration leaders predict less than dozen votes in opposition. I'm mediately after it's disposition it is planned to adopt the conference re- port on the administration food bill providing for a food survey and ap- propriations to stimulate production. Little opposition is expected.
 Discussion today apparently re- suited in conviction among the oppo- nents that further discussion would be useless.
 The principal speech of the day was made by Senator Wadsworth. who said the good things in the bill out number the bad ones, but he protest ed against elimination of the pro- vision for a Congressional committee to supervise war expenditures, and predicted that the two dollar mini mum wheat price fixing provision might not operate as its proponents believe. He urged cooperation be- tween the legislative and administra- tive branches of the government and a greater degree of publicity about the conduct of the war.

prince to win territory against Gen eral Petain's forces on the southern front in France has not as yet been achieved. In the Champagne region the French have penetrated German lines at three places, and on the fa- nous Avocourt wood 304 sector of the Verdun front have repulsed German attempt at an attack.
 Having been enabled mainly through the disaffection in the Rus sian army to drive the Russians from the greater part of Galicia and Buko- wina. the Austro-G Germans now have begun in southern Moldavia a maneu- yer the success of which would be of vast importance against the Russo Roumanian line barring the way to Bassarabia. At Fokshani the enemy has struck a swift blow at the defend CTS of the line and forced them across the River Tyrladesus, thereby threat ening the crossing of the lower Sereth and the road to Galatz, one of the chief Roumanian towns on the Dan- ube still remaining in Roumanian hands. Several guns of various cali bers and 1900 prisoners were taken by the invaders.

APACHE INDIANS GO
 ON THE WARPATH
Forces Two Arizona Asbestos
 Mines to ClOse-Rangers on the Trail-I. w. w. Influence
 is Seen.

Globe, Ariz., Aug. 7.-Apache h. dians in hte Sierra Anchas mountains, 50 miles northwest of Globe, are on the warpath and the two biggest as- bestos mines in the district are tied up, according to telephone message summoning help received here at the sheriff's office tonight. Assistance will be sent immediately.
 The manager of mine, closed as a result of the uprising, informed Sher- if Tom Armer that leaders of the uprising have called all Indian work CTS out of the mines and they were beyond control of the few white men in the islolated district. Deputy Sher- if Dan Armer, at the head of band of mounted rangers, departed for the Sierra Anchas tonight, but, because of the bad condition of the road and long, rugged mountain trails over which the horSemen must ride, they do not expect to reach the mines be- fore morning.
 A call was issued tonight by the sheriff for cowboys from the Tonto section to be ready for duty in event the rangers are unable to subdue the Indians.
 A forest ranger, who rode 25 miles over rugged mountain trails to reach telephone, informed Sheriff Armer that forest fires were being started in the vicinity of the mines and at tempts to burn mine buildings were averted only by prompt action of guards.
 According to the ranger two l. w. w. organizers have been active among the force of 150 Mexican and Indians employed in the district.

The HOME CALL.

They fare afar by sun and star
AS far as east from west,
Hail reckoning hands
Of the stranger-lands,
But it's home at last for Rest,
For Spirit follows the feet that
roam and starts and world-winds
sing of Home.
The battle strife of life for life
And red blades breast to breast,
But the lightning CLEAN
Stays not the dream
The dream of Home and Rest,
They sleep not in shadows of Nights
despair,
For the arms of Home are round
them there.
A spirit steals to their star-watched
sleep
Where the battle thunders cease,
And the low-laid brow
Is holy now
With Homes last kiss of Peace,
And from hill; of the mighty and
lowliest sod
They take that kiss to Heaven and
God.
w.
o strife of Life, with the red thorns
The sounds of battle fray,
We pass from Night
To the Shores of Light
To the Everlasting Day.
Peace, when the strife of the storm is
past,
And the Lights in the windows OF
Home at last.
