DETERMINED TO
MAINTAIN FAIR
WHEAT PRICES
L. S. Will Take Over Whole
Harvest if Necessary; Cor
poration Formed


Washington, Aug. 15.-Government
purchase of enough of the 1917 wheat
crop to stabilize prices in the United
States was forecast in the formation
to-day of a s5O,OO0,OO corporation by
the food administration.
The intention is to take over the
entire harvest if necessary to main
tain fair prices. The corpora ton will
make all allied purchases of wheat
and flour and thus will stabilize
prices to the allies. Through this ar
rangement, too, it hopes to secure
itself against any possible loss.
The food administration will open
agencies at all the principal wheat
terminals, carrying on it's transac-
tions with the usual dealers. No COM
mission charge will be made except
to cover costs of operation. The
price to be paid for wheat will be
fixed by committee under the grain

Washington, d. c.. Aug. 15.-WhiIe
1t is known authoritatively that the
pope sent a peace note two or three
days ago to all the belligerent gov
ernments, as announced in a dispatch
from Rome, there still seems to be
considerable doubt as to the accu-
racy of the reported contents of this
note. According to the Rome dis
patch, the pope proposed a virtual
return to the status quo ante bellum,
the restoration of Belgium, Serbia
and Rumania and a settlement by
negotiation of the questions of
Alsace-Lorraine, Trent, Trieste and
Poland.

Probably War Taxes
Cause of Price Drop

New York, April 16.-The New York
Evening sun financial review today
said:
The foreible reminder to the country
at large of the people S grave war
time obligations contained in PTesi-
dent Wilson s appeal for conservation
and utilization Of resources, the bur
dens foreshadowed in the government s
extensive program for taxation and
other developments of minor import
anee, operated to cause hesitation and
unsettlement in today's securities mar
kets.
The professional traders who did
the bulk of tine business transactions
on the floor of tlc stock exchange
were bearish scarcely without exeep-
tion. Trading was only moderately
active and most Of the price changes
were on the downward side, losses in
many cases being as much as two or
three points.
Opening prices were narrowly irreg-
ular, but after the first few minutes
the trend was unmistakably down
ward. There was little movement eth
cr way in the afternoon. United States
Steel moved listlessly near Ill. The
other steel shares and the copper group
were heavy as were the motor and mu-
milton shares. The railroad depart
ment was soft and neglected. Active
selling in the late trade carried prices
a point or so lower.

insofar as the public Imagination is con-
cerned is the visit of the allied high
commissioning England s and France s
noted officials, Drawing the perils Of the
deep and possibly the fate OF Kitchener,
that they may counsel with their newest
war friend, America,
Aside from momentous cooperative
questions the issue of peace terms is
vital for them.
The allies know each others terms
and they knew the broad principles of
President Wilson S terms. But these
views doubtless will be co ordinated in a
general agreement as to when America
and her allies shall regard Prussianism
as obliterated for all time
Mere discussion of such terms does
not mean peace move In fact, Of

By H. @. Hamilton.

New York, April 16.-With the sec

The finger of suspicion is directed

natl Reds, and Connie Mack IS Philadel-
pha Athletics, neither Of which teams
has been considered of more use in the
two big leagues of late than furnish
ing a place to stop off on trip some
where else.
The dope finger is directed strongly
at the antics of the Giants and White
Sox, There may be something in the
old superstition that its bad luck to
win the first pot, but Clarence Row
land and John MeGraw are the kind of
managers who believe game won now
will count as the season nears its close.
The fact that Eddie Cicotte pitched a
no-hit, norm game may not mean any
thing, but it will get him lot Of room
on the sidewalks.
The Giants, despite the temperament
al makeup, have been blistering base
balls with reckless abandon.
The Athletics nearly turned the base.
ball world over when they ground out
20 hits off a hotful Of Washington
pitchers. The surprise was unnecessary,
however, for Mack has gathered in his
several years Of search team of ter
rifle hitters, who will shoot disaster
into the nerves of many u hmler before
tho season is over.
The Reds have done remarkably we'll
so far Pitching, hitting ana baseball
in general have been rolled together by
Matty as the results are to see. His
team is new and may fail to maintain
the stride ii has started, but a team
that plays this sort of baseball is not

Judge Gary Says United Steel
Would Pay This Under
Proposed Tax

New York, April l6.-The proposed
government war taxes on corporations
will cost the United States Steel Cor
porati0n $i3I 100000, according to es-
Inmates by Judge +. II. Gary. chair
man of the board of directors, present
ed at a stock holders meeting held IN
HobOkea this afternoon. That other
laws will be passed 10 one at the pres
ent time can doubt, said Held. 1.-THE
burden which VII be imposed upon
corporations and individuals win be
large. | am sure no loyal citizen can
object, providing there is a fair and
reasonable distribution OF the burden.
II the disposition of the law makers
shall be to secure as much money as
can possibly be expended for all the
purposes which have been suggested,
then it seems evident that all the prof
its or earnings Of all the corporations
and all the individuals may be taken
away from those who possess them. ]
do not believe that is going TO be the
attitude Of the lawmakers.
"lf the disposition will be only to
secure such moneys as are absolutely
needed for government purposes and
the distribution of the burden is fair
and equitable, 1t seems at the present
time that the earnings of the steel
company would be very large this year
"The corporation has never before
the last Is months had a full Oppor-
tunity of demonstrating how much
value there really is in its property or
how much earning capacity it has, or
the total amount Of earnings that can
be obtained. Onr mills during the last
year and more have been running to
their full capacity and that has been
increased since the corporation started
more than 100 per cent"
Robert Bacon, Samuel Mather, Thom

rectors, whose terms expire this year,

after most exhaustive hearing and

such action desirable, the commission
must refuse to alter its original find:
