The local order of Eagles is entitled

FEDERAL FOOD ORDERS
FIGURE IN SUIT HERE


For the first time since the organi-
cation of the Federal Food Admins
tration its orders became the subject
of litigation here yesterday when
Squire Fred w. Bauer heard the case
of j. NJ. Wheatley VS.. The Sardis Mill
ing Company
1t seems as though Mr.. Wheatley,
prominent citizen of the Sardis neigh
borhood, entered into a contract with
the Sardis Milling Company for six
barrels of -four last year and paid for
1t, with the understanding that he
was not to take his flour home at one
time but was to call at the mill for it
as he needed it,
Mr.. Wheatley called for three bar
rels of the flour before the Food Ad-
ministration issued its fifty-fifty order
and limited the sale of the flour. When
he called for the fourth barrel the
Milling Company refused to allow him
to have barrel saying that the Food
Administration orders would not per-
NIT them to sell that quantity and
that they must sell like amount of
substitute with all flour sold and de-
livered.
Mr. Wheatley claims that the con-
tract for the flour was made before
the Food Administrations orders
went into effect and sues the Milling
Company for the value of the three
barrels of flour he has already paid
for and they refuse to deliver.
The jury in the case yesterday hung
and the further development of the
case will be watched with much in
terest here.

BOYS CONFESS
TO Three OTHER
BOLD ROBBERIES
Youngsters Arrested for Bauer g.
klipp Robbery Also Confess to
RObbing Mike Brown and
Frank Deyine.

Edward Byron, Arthur Ennis and
Harold Beighle, the three small boys
arrested late Saturday afternoon by
the local police in connection with the
robbery of the Bauer & Klipp harness
and hardware stores. were brought
before Chief of Police Harry A. Ort
again yesterday afternoon and CON
fessed to the robbery of the Mike
Brown harness store on the same
Sunday afternoon they entered the
Bauer & Klipp store. They also con-
fessed that three weeks prior to that
robbery, they entered the Mike Brown
store and stole about $12. On the last
trip they secured about SIS in this
store
When arrested Saturday all three of
the boys denied any knowledge of the
robberies at Mike Browns store and
at Wells Restaurant but yesterday
they were pinned down so closely by
Chief Ort that they made clean
breast of the Brown robbery but they
still claim that they did not rob the
Wells restaurant
After being question very closely by
Chief Ort in regard to the robbery of
the Frank Devine store in Market
street several weeks ago, young BY
ron finally confessed that he robbed
the Devine store as we'll.
This confession practically clears
up all of the small robberies going on
about the city for the past several
weeks and it proves the belief of the
mHmbers of the police force that small
boys were doing the jobs.
All three of the boys were in the
court for the first time. They were
too small for any severe punishment
and the officials thought the Reform
School would not help their cases so
after agreeing to report at police
headquarters to Chief Ort each week
and after the parents of the children
had promised to take them home and
give them a sound whipping, they
were released and allowed to return
home with their parents.
1t appears that all three of the
youngsters have had mighty good
lesson and its safe to say that they
will all three reform. 1t was quite
lucky for them that they were caught
just at this time for the way they
were going at these small robberies
showed that they were on their way TO
become real criminals and had they
not been stopped now they might have
found themselves in some very SER
ious trouble in the future.

With the American Army on the

evening, the Germans were heavily
shelling the American forces, but
were getting shell for shell in return
and their fire seemed to be diminish
ing.
The VauX district is comparatively
calm now, On the American right
heavy fighting is in progress.
American machine gunners along
the river assisted materially in break
ing up the early Boche plans for they
stuck to their posts and poured dead
ly streams of bullets into the enemy
and only withdrew when their guns
were so hot they could not be fired.
One group of machine gunners hap
pened to be in a place where the Ger
mans were anxious to erect a bridge,
but their efforts were frustrated. The
American bullets piled up the German
dead on the opposite side of the river
every time the enemy started to cross.

Washington, July 15-An air of ella
tion was apparent in government cir
cles tonight as dispatches from
France unfolded the story of the val
liant struggle of the American troops
along the Marne against the renewed
German offensive.
Official advices we're slow and no
formal reports on the German effort
to drive the jaws of a great pincher
movement about Rheims on a sixty
five front was available at a late
hour, Press reports made it clear.
however, that the enemy had not only
been stopped, but hurled back by
American counter attacks along the
Marne, where they hold the left bank
of the great battle front, while the
French army, aided near Rheims by
Italian divisions. stood fast over the
far greater extent of the line they de-
Tended against fierce assaults by the
enemy.
AT the White House the President
read the account, At the War Depart
ment, Secretary Baker, General
March. Chief of Staff, and other high
officers received eagerly the brief
glimpses of the battle flashed across
the country in press bulletins from
the battle front. Every line of the re-
ports was studied with delight as II
became evident that the enemy had
met with a decided check in the first
rush of his greatest effort thus far.
The fact that credit for stopping the
heaviest parts OF the assault thus far
reported belongs to men of the first
corps added to the feeling of elation
which officials had difficulty In con-
cealing.

MORE ELASTIC
EMBARGOSYSTEM
BEING PLANNED

The United States is making an
exhaustive study OF the effect pro-
duced on foreign exchange by a
ruthless system OF placing embargoes
on certain products needed for war
materials. IL became known today,
and arrangements are going forward
between the War Trade Board and
the Treasury that will tend to react
favorably on exchange through the
operation of a less stringent en-
barge program.
Officials have pointed out that Ger
tain products, such as tin. lead. COP
per. and numerous other metals and
commodities. should be rightfully
embargoed, but that the order should
not be too comprehensive in its in
depreciation. The exchange problem
is undergoing rapid changes, and the
principal factor in adjusting IT fav-
orably TO the United States Is the
establishment in foreign countries
of trade balances favorable to Amer
lean merchants and manufacturers.
By the operation OF an absolute en-
barge on certain metal IL was found
that many manufactured products
which sell for large sums and which
have a ready market abroad could
not be exported because they con-
tanned small quantities of the en-
bargoed products, such as tin or lead
or copper.
Treasury officials have been i'm
pressed with the system that pre-
vents extension of a favorable trade
balance simply because a few ounces
of an enlarged material has the
power to withhold the export Of
large quantities of articles that
could be sold abroad. II was pointed
out by one official that one ton of
tin was the approximate amount used
in the manufacture OF certain kinds
OF dental products in a year: that II
this ton OF tin could be released. il
would be a comparatively small item
in the country's supply OF the metal,
yet would be instrumental in swell
ing the favorable trade balance
about $4,000 900 higher, through the
export OF the product in which it is
used. The same was true OF pianos,
in which certain metals are used in
small quantities. yet the sale of the
products would more than compen-
safe for the small amount of embar-
coed material used, because OF its
favorable reaction on the rate OF eX-
change.
The adoption OF a more elastic en-
barge system today is looked upon
as a certainty, and plans are being
discussed that will cover all export
products from this country.

WAR WARNING IS
ISSUED TO SHIPS
NEAR BERMUDA

A war warning" presumably of
presence OF enemy submarines) has
been issued to shipping operating in
the area east OF longitude 40 between
the latitude OF Cape Race and Ber-

nounced today.
NORFOLK, Va. June 26.-Marine
and naval circles are specializing here
today over reports reaching here that
German raider, apparently 400 feet
in length and capable OF fifteen
knots an hour, is cruising in waters
east of Bermuda. It is believed by
some that the vessel is the mother
ship" which has been fueling the
U-boats recently in United States
waters.
Suspicion was first aroused when
several allied craft raced away from
the supposed raider. Instead of fol
lowing, the raider went in an oppo-
site direction.
The ship is reported to be Of the
cruiser type, rakishly built, and show
ing a clean pair of heels when any
attempt to get up close is made.
In some quarters there is the be-
lief that the craft Is a former fruit
steamer plying between Baltimore and
South American ports, but recently
captured and converted into an enemy
raider by Germany.
