PRICE OF WHEAT FIXED.

BY proclamation issued Monday,
President Wilson set $2.20 a bushel
as the minimum price guaranteed by
the government for the 1919 wheat
crop.
A disinterested commission, the
president stated, will be appointed
next spring to see whether the in
creased cost of farm labor and sup
plies would justify an increase above
that price.
Possibility of peace before the mid
die of 1920 was indicated in a mem
orandum written by the president and
accompanying the proclamation, as a
factor in determination of the presi-
dent to maintain the present price
for the 1919 crop.
In giving a guaranteed price for
wheat one year in advance (the only
industry guaranteed by the govern
ment), there is involved a consider
able national risk the president
said.
"If there should be peace or in
creased shipping available from the
middle of 1920, Europe will naturally
supply itself from the large stores OF
much cheaper wheat now in the
southern hemisphere; and, therefore
the government is undertaking a risk
which might. in such an event, result
in national loss of as much as
$500, 100000 through an unstable
surplus; or, in any event, in main
tanning a high level of price to our
own people for q long period subse-
quent to freedom of the world s
markets"

CAPTURE OF JUVIGNY
BY AMERICAN FORCES

American Forces on the Aisne
Front, Sept. Once the enveloping
movement about Juvigny had been
consummated the little place was
taken by assault. There had been
sent forward another attacking party
in the direction where the enemy was
expected, but they too succeeded in
spite of machine guns. The plan
was for them 10 arrive from the west
at the same time as other troops APP
peared from the east and to close in.
They did.
From their dugout positions they
mad passed through a machine gun
barrage into old trenches that had
been in service since 1914 and
through them into the Courrone
woods. Again they were subjected to
a grilling fire, but they kept on I'M

FORD LOSES IN PRIMARY

Henry Ford, Detroit automobile
manufacturer and choice of Presi-
dent Wilson for the Michigan sena-
torial nminoation, has been defeated
on the republican ticket at Tuesdays
primaries and nominated on the
democrat ticket.
Truman H. Newberry of Detroit,
commander in the Third United
States Naval district, and former
secretary of the navy, has won the
republican nomination for United
States senator by a vote which in
complete returns indicate may equal
the total number of votes polled by
both Ford and the former Governor
Chas. S. Osborn.
In the democratic balloting, how
ever, the Detroit manufacturer, who
was a candidate on both party tick
cts, defeated James w. Helme, fig
ures being two TO one in favor of his
candidacy
Returns from 1919 precints of
the state show:
Newberry, 59.707; Ford, 25,144;
Osborn, 1926. There are 1.O9S
precip2ts from which complete re-
turns have not been received.
Incomplete but unofficial figures
show that Newberry has probably
carried seventy-eight of Michigan's
counties, Osborn four
and Ford one county.

10 is PRO-GERNIAN
THE MA

The man who is pro-German in this
country now is pervert. He isn't
normal. He doesn't know enough to
seek shelter when it rains.
Before the United States entered
the war a great deal of money was
collected in the country ostensibly for
the German Red Gross. Thousands
of Germans gave to this fund with
the impression that in so doing they
were clearly within their rights as
citizens of this country. And they
were not, in fact, violating the neu-
trality of this country in giving
funds for relief work through the in
strumentality of real Red Cross.
The facts since we entered the war
have been dug out Lists OF these
contributors have been secured by
government agents. They are sur
prisingly large They include promi-
nent people. These agents have also
traced the money from the givers to
the distributors. Instead OF THIS
money going to the relief of wounded
men and INDECENT women and chill
dren in the fathorland it went to
Bernstorff at Washington and by him
was paid out for the purpose of ped
ding German lies in this country IL
was used to blind the eyes of the very
people who gave, the money. It was
| in truth, used to make them traitors
this country.
With these facts clearly before
them how can any man, even though
| he has German blood in his veins,
stand for such criminal conduct On
the part Of men representing the
present government of Germany? The
German government has attempted to
bunco the people of German blood in
thi scountry.
OF course our own government will
use these lists of names with discre-
ton. They will not be published
broad now. But every mans
name which appears on those lists
will be investigated. If his record as
supporter of this government is
| found good it will not be held that his
contribution to the German Red
| Cross was done with any intent to
violate American neutrality. But if
his record of support of this country
is full of flaws then there will be
reason to assume that he gave this
money because he loves his former
home more than he does his adopted
country.
In situations of this kind it will he
wise for us to excise precaution
We should not jump to the conclusion
that a man who gave to the German
Red Cross is traitor, per Sc. Before
condemning him in toto look into his
record. He may have proven by his
record since America went into the
war that he is 100 per cent Amer
lean. If he is such the chances are
that he gave to the German Red
Cross under the impression that the
money was to be used for the relief
of widows and orphans. He did not
| give with the thought that it would
be used to help get him into trouble
by making him traitor, which il
would have done had he read and be
lieved the stuff his money was used
to circulate. We must be just and
generous in these matters.

STAGE SET FOR FALL
MARKET WEEK

The Merchants Market Week Com
mittee has completed its prepare
tons for Fall Market Week in Oma-
ha, Sept. Gil, and everything is in
readiness for the biggest and best
Market Week Omaha has yet had.
Buying goods, of course, is the real
reason merchants visit Omaha dur
ing Market Week, but buying goods
is hard work and for that reason
Omaha always offers her visiting
friends some diversion at the end of
each day. The first day, Sept. 9, the
ladies will be given an auto ride
through Omaha, followed by the
alter party at the Orpheum at S:15,
while the men will be guests at Ak
Sar-Ben at the Den; Tuesday, Sept.
10, there will be buffet dinner and
dancing party at the Field club, and
Wednesday, Sept. IL, will be the
grand outing at New Krug park at
which time $1,000 worth of prizes
will be distributed.

hand-to-hand fighting. The defending
force appeared to realize the futility
of further resistance.
The remainder of the line advanced
to positions and united with the
French on the left and right. Ger
man dead and wounded and fresh
made she'll holes marked the path Of
the American advance.
Little of stores was left by the Ger
mans. There was one big gun in the
woods, scores of machine guns and
quantities of ammunition, but it was
evident that the German command
had anticipated a repulse and had re-
moved most of the supplies.
A few of those same machine guns
were used on the Germans today.
The German prisoners, who were
killed and manned by their own
army's shell, had been taken to the
rear and were being escorted down
into an old quarry, cave that might
house thousand men. That particu-
lar cave had been used as division
headquarters by the Germans.
A shell landed at the entrance at
the instant it was crowded with pris-
oners who were to be kept there for
few hours. The Germans, who were
nothing more than boys, were thrown
into mangled piles.
Many, on recovery from the shock,
cursed their countrymen for what
they regarded as punishment They
believed their guns had fired on them
in retaliation for having surrendered.
One asked when ne would sail for
New York. He said he heard all
prisoners were sent to America The
extraordinary grit displayed by the
American wounded has aroused COM
ment in the dressing stations at the
advanced positions. One young man,
who was brought in with fourteen
wounds from shrapnel and machine
guns, anxiously asked when he would
be able to get back into the trenches.
The commanding officer of the
French army today sent to the Ameri-
cans his personal congratulations on

Sergeant Captured 30.
Thirty prisoners were accounted
for by Sergeant S. B. Leschinsky of
Milwaukee in the capture of Juvigny
by the Americans. In command of
fourteen men, he lost his way be-
yond the town while the encircling
movement was going on.
A turn in the road brought the de-
tachment face to face with two Ger
man captains. He ordered them to
halt and they did A minute later a
marching detachment of thirty Ger
man appears who, on seeing the Of
Ulcers had been taken prisoner, sur
rendered. The German officers
questioned the authority of their
captor to take them and they re-
sisted
The sergeant and his own men
made their way back to headquarters
with the thirty prisoners. (The two
officers presumably were shot.)
Another incident of the fighting
occurred during a accommodating tour
by sergeant. He remembered a
shell hole in which there had been a
German machine gun and made his
way to it. There he found two
American officers who had become
separated from their organization.
The officer asked the sergeant what
he was going to do. The sergeant
replied that he was going to take the
machine gun and drive out the Ger
mans from a nearby quarry. The
gun was placed in position and the
Americans opened fire on the quarry,
after which forty-seven Germans
came out of the limestone cave and
surrendered. They had entered the
place and the barrage had caught and
held them there. They had been
without food for two days.
Another case is typical of the man

hunted down. An American corporal
captured seventeen Germans. He
found them in one end of trench.
A squad of his men was nearby, but
not with him. Tie corporal, who
speaks German, as do many other
members of his organization, shouted
to the occupants of the trench to sur
render. The Germans, thinking they
had been surrounded by a superior
force, did the bidding of the Ameri-
can. The corporal and his squad
made additional captures in this
zone.

Ready To Oblige.

Among the letters from France that
have been printed in the Atlantic
Monthly there is to be found this
entertaining episode:
The code il the German officers is
never to surrender; but Of course they
cannot all live up to it. In a recent
raid sergeant | know made a pris-
oner of German captain who, as they
walked to the rear, cursed his luck
in fluent French saying that he was
caught unaware; that an officer never
surrendered, but fought to the end.
"Stop here, my captain, and let us
consider this" said the sergeant
seriously. "There are several articles
of your equipment to which my fancy
runs. That watch, for example, those
leather puttees, and that fat purse I
saw you change to your hip pocket
Perhaps | can oblige you and crafty
my whim. Suppose you were suddenly
to run-a quick shot would save your
honor, and me for the trouble Of es-
corting you to the rear. And | am an
excellent shot, assure you"
But the German was not interested
