 AbandOns Plan

Washington, August 1S.-In response to a message to the President from Mayor Behrman, asking that the fed eral authorities take over the New Or leans Electric company, on accoune of labor troubles there, Secretary Tumulty today telegraphed the mayor that the President held that the federal govern ment has no power to take over such companies, and believed it is impera- lively necessary that local and state authorities take action for immediate relief.
 The message follows:
 "Hon. Martin Behrman, Mayor of New
 Orleans:
 '@rhe President asked me to acknowl- edge your important telegram of yes- terday and to express his opinion that as the existing law is interpreted, the federal government has no power to take over electric railway and light ing companies. The conditions under which such companies operate in diff ferent parts of the country vary by so wide variation that no common rule, it would appear, or method of relief could be applied to them and 1t is the Presidents judgment that it is imperatively necessary that local

Order Stops Issuance
 of All Commissions

Washington, August 13-The war de- pertinent order cutting off voluntary enlistment in the army. pending action on the new draft age proposals, in- cludes a prohibition on the issuance of any commissions in any branch of the army that was not in process of issue when the order was signed. Sec- retary Baker made this lcear today in answer to questions, adding that appli- cation for commission would not be regarded as entitling the applicant to exception from the order.
 The only exception now probable, Mir. Baker said, had to do with some 400 men specially sought out for com mission in the engineer corps, and who had already been recommended for such commissions. It was made clear that no enlisted man or men now at a training camp is in any way blocked from obtaining commission by the new order which does not affect them-

Hubbard Bros. & Con Letter

New York, August 13.-The market was lower early this morning on heavy trade selling and reports of rain in Texas which was subsequently, not confirmed The market recovered sharply as soon as it was seen that only scattered show CTS had occurred and in consequence of very unfavorable crop reports which in- dicated the possibility of a low condition report again in September.
 Business was much less active and there is not as yet very active demand from the trade, partly owing to uncer- tainty as to the effect of sudden rains in the southwest or the weight of the early receipts upon the market. As Is very natural, the war news is less ex- citing, but there is strong feeling that if will continue to be favorable and that the uause represents the usual consoli- datic;i of ground gained.
 The local feeling is to expect increas- ing receipts and an increasing effect upon the market. As we have before re- marked, this feeling is very natural in view of the general conditions which confront the trade this season. The only qusstiori is whether We are not still some distance from movement in volume and as to what may happen in the mean time, Hubbard Brose & Co.

The decision of the war labor board awarding the employees a wage increase aggregating s2.2O0,000 yearly will make it impossible for the company to operate without increasing the street car fares to at least seven cents and raising the gas and electric rates. the mayor said he had been informed.

 'it will he the happiest moment of our lives when we are ministering to the wounded and sick in Italy," said Sister Chrysostom. "The sisterhood feels keen ly the desire to be of the utmost service in caring for the soldiers of Italy or any of the other allies of America. War makes its demand upon the wom- an power of America as well as upon her man power, and all who can do so, no matter what the sacrifice, should serve the interest of Americas part in the war
 .There is no more important task be- fore the country at this time than the building up of a nursing service large enough to care for the sick and wounded American and allied fighting men, and 1t is the duty of all trained nurses to enlist for this service through the American Red Cross"
