Washington, Sept. l0-The price Of

made clear Saturday at the food admin
istration, despite isolated protests from
farming interests that the figure is too
low. Virtually the only objection of any
consequence, ii was said, has arisen in
North Dakota, where the crop was un
usually poor.
North Dakota farmers are demanding

speculation. They particularly object to
restrictions against elevators storing
grain more than 30 days.
DR.. X. A. Pearson, assistant to the sec.
rotary OF agriculture, is Just back from
trip throughout the West with report
that he found the wheat price generally
acceptable, except in communities where
crops were far below normal.
The result OF the price fixed, food ad-
ministration officials say, is that the
farmer will receive about 80 per cent
more bushel than last year On the
other hand, through arrangements made
for the elimination Of speculation and to
control distribution, the consumer should,
they contend, obtain saving of at least

Suspected of Dis
loyalty.

Washington; Sept l0.--Closing the
mails to disloyal citizens is under con
sideration by the postof1ice department
and the department of justice as another
step in the governments campaign to
wipe out disloyalty and sedition, accord
ing to a dispatch received from Wash
ington Saturday.
The subject was discussed Saturday
by William H. Lamar, solicitor of the
postoffice department, and William c.
Fits, assistant attorney general, under
whose direction the nationwide seizure
of industrial workers of the world papers
were made Wednesday.
The two officers will hold further con-
ierences before decision finally is
reached Attorney General Gregory also
has conferred with postofiice authorities
on the contemplated step. Should it be
decided to close the mails to disloyal
citizens and others suspected of disloyal-
ty, the action would not be confined to
passage of printed matter through the
mails but would include correspondence
of all sorts.
Activity on other phases of the cam
paign to suppress anti-war movements
continued Saturday undated. lnves-
tigation of the mass Of documents taken
by government agents in raids upon in

has resulted, 1t was said, in many inter

SPORTING NOTES

Clark Griffith, manager of the Wash
ington American league team, is seeking
permission to take a subscription before
the start of the worlds series games to
aid nhis plans to supply the American
soldiers with baseball equipment. 1t is
thought that his request will be granted
by the national baseball commission.
Foster, the Red Sox pitcher, did a good
days work Friday, when he held the
Philadelphia Athletics to four hits, had
putout and two assists to his credit.
At bat he made a double ad two singles
in four times at bat.
Ainsworth, the Washington catcher
had a perfect day in the first game of
Fridays double bill with New York,
when he had four singles to his credit
out of four trips to the plate
AT recent call for candidates at the
Great Lake naval station three hundred
veteran football players answered the
call. This is an xample of only one
of the many service camps and shows the
places where the football players of the
country are. There will certainly be no
dull moments when these players reach
France.

FRENCH OFFICERS OUT OF MIND.
Terrible Strain of Battle Affects Their
Reason.

Paris, Sept. l0.--A train of POI French
officers and men arrived in Lyons recent
ly--prisoners repatriated from Germany.
OF these, not fewer than l55 were out OF
their minds Their reason had gone, prob
ably under some terrific shell lombard
ment, leaving them often without any
bodily injury, incapable of any mental
effort.
One, typical example, was second
lieutenant, apparently p or % years old.
He was calm and quiet, but unable to
reply to a question. On his tunic was
pinned card with the words, picked
up, without wound, at , 1914
These unfortunates have been informed
at Lyons, and their photographs are to
be circulated throughout the country in
the hope of identifying them, so that
those who no doubt have long mourned
them as lost forever may perhaps be
able to win them back from their living
tombs.

THE FACTS
Michaelis Concealed Part of
the Evidence at the Sioux
honlinoff Trial
ACCUSATION is
. NOT BORNE OUT
Ex-Chief of Russian Staff
Told of Learning Germany
Was Secretly Mobilizing

Copenhagen, Sept l0.-With the arrv.
al here of Russian newspapers, some
light is thrown on the campaign which
the German government has been CON
Quoting on the strength of testimony
brought out at the trial of General Sioux
homlinoff in Petrograd for high treason,
Accounts of the trial published in the
Noyoe Vremya of Petrograd show that
in the attempt to prove that Russia was
responsible for beginning the war, the
Germans deliberately suppressed impor-
tant parts of the testimony given by
General Januschkevitch, ex-chef of the
Russian general staff.
In its report of the trial the semi.offi-
cial German news agency omitted in its
entirety passage regarding an inter
view between General Januschkevitch
and the German military sttache in Pet
rograd 1t appears from the Novoe
Vremya that General Januschkevitch
testified precise reports had been received
that German mobilization already was
secretly in progress. The Russian staff
knew that this could be done. under the
German law, without formal proclama-
ton, whereas in Russia public mani
festo from the emperor was necessary.
On the following day, according to the
testimony given, dispatch was received
from the Russian ambassador at Berlin
confirming the previous information that
the German mobilization was in progress
The emperor then expressed his thanks
to General Januschkevitch for not having
revoked the mobilization order
The foregoing dispatch gives the first
intimation from a Russian source in re-
gard to the testimony which the German
DIR. Michaelis, said, earlier in
the week, established "irrefutably" that
Russian emperor, and not Germany,
which chose the time for the war. The
said that, If the American gov
eminent had had knowledge of this tes
timony, its Judgment as to responsibility |
for the war, as expressed in the presi- |
dents reply to the pope would have been |
quite different.
The principal point made by DR.. Mi |
chaelis was that the Russian emperor,
convinced at length of the German EN-
peror's desire for peace, ordered the can.
collation. of the mobilization order, but |
that "a couple of criminals disregarded
the order and thwarted its execution. No
reference was made by the chancellor to
the suppressed testimony, which is now
Ut hand, indicating that the Russian staff
had learned the German mobilization was
in process secretly, and that when this
fact had been established definitely the
Russian emperor thanked his chief Of
staff for not having carried out the order
20 cancel the mobilization decree.
