Will NOT RAISE
PRICE OF WHEAT
But Present Price May Be
Extended To Protect
American Farmer

Washington, Aug. 27.-(SpeciaI).-
There will be no increase in the 1919
1920 prices Of wheat with the CORES
bonding increase in the cost Of liv-
ing this would entail. The world
wheat situation and the proised eff
fort to bring peace to the world in
1919 will prevent any such action.
It Is known that Western senators
and representatives are engaged in a
program to raise the price of wheat
to $3.50 or to remove the price alto.
gether. Both efforts will fail, the re-
cent veto message Of the President on
the measure raising the price of wheat
to $3.50 clearly indicating his attitude,
and the position of the secretary Of
agriculture Is known to be opposed to
any increase in the price. The ar
rangeents which Herbert Hoover is
making in Europe for the victualing
of the Allies are based upon a contin-
uation of the report basis price at
Chicago Of 1928.
Food Administration in Control.
Immediately upon Mr.. Hoover's re-
turn from Europe an effort will be
made to renew the present price on
wheat situation and the promise eff
the same time the Western represen-
tatives will stage their effort to have
the price increased or omitted alto
gether. In view Of the fact that the
floor administration is the pur-
chasing agent for the allies, and
consumers must purchase
to regulations laid down by
1t, it practically controls the situa-
ton. In fairness to the farmer, how
ever, 1t believes the price should be
fixed because Of the world situation
in wheat which will. in itself. insure
the success of the viewpoint Of the
Of Agriculture and the
food administration.
At the close Of the present crop
year the food administration will have
a surplus Of wheat amounting to about
200, 900 900 bushels. South America
has an exportable surplus Of 175,000,-
900 bushels, with new crop coming
on. This wheat NAV be, purchased to-
day at $1.38 a busheL
Britain Guarantees Price.
Australia and India have a surplus
Of 50O,000,000 bushels, with another
new crop coming. The British govern
ment and the colonial governments
have guaranteed the Australian and
indian producers price Of 95 cents
b bushel during the war.
The moment peace Is declared this
world wheat market will be dumped
On the market. If no price were guar
anteed to the American farmer he
would be met with this competition.
which would let the bottom fall out
Of wheat prices. AS 1t Is expected
1919 will be the victory year it is felt
this world wheat situation will stop
any agitation looking to an increase
IN price or the removal OF a guaran-
iced price.

Loaned Millions
To T. S. Farmers
CBy Associated press.N

New York, Aug. 81. American
Life Insurance companies loaned
$3.50, 100000 to American farmers
within two years and nine months
ending October 1, 1917, enabling them
to increase their supply of food for
the entente nations. About $270.-
100000 Of this was loaned to farm
ers or on farm mortgages in 10
states Of the west and south. These
states are supplying the bulk Of
American foodstuff to this country
and its allies in the war. The aver
age interest rate on farm loans un
to 1917 was 518 per cent or less.
These facts are shown in a. report
submitted to American life inslr
ance companies, today by George T.
wight of New York city, manager
OF the Association of Life Insurance
Presidents. 1t is compiled from
original statistics and covers 1915.
1916 and nine months of 1917.
If this increase in life Insurance.
loans to farmers has continued since
September, 1917, Mr.. Wight indi-
Gates, life insurance companies have
invested in farm loans about 81 900
600. This is more than one-haIf OF
all their real estate mortgage loans,
which amount to nearly $4,000. 00O,-

Ludendorff Fighting Rear
Guard Actions, May
Stand at Peronne

With the British Army in France,
Monday, Aug. 26, Evening.-The ex-

the Scarpe has brought the attack
ers to within striking distance Of a
good part Of the Hindenburg line,
back of which is open country with
the terrain and roads in excellent
condition for the movement of tanks
and horses.
The British made steady progress
again today especially on the new
section of the front, around Bapaume
and astride the Somme. German re-
sistance again was stubborn. How
ever. 1t Is beginning to look as
though the enemy was fighting rear
guard actions with the hope of hold
ing UP the British.
No fresh German divisions have
been identified in the recent fight
ting The strategy Of the Ger
man high command now is to leave
battered divisions to fight rear guard
actions and incidentally. to have a
large part of remnants Of, these
formations chewed to pieces by the
British fire.
Gen. Ludendorff perhaps has some
plans to make stand to the rear
Of the present line and is saving
what men he can for that purpose.
1t would not be surprising If the en-
envy intended to put up a stiff de-
Tense somewhere on line running
generally north and south through
Peronne. There was hard fighting
today around Bapaume, Favreuil,
just north of Bapaume has been TAX
en- and the streets run red with
blood of the Germans killed there.
The enemy was prepared to launch a
counter attack here, but as his troops
moved toward the town from the
east they were caught under the fire
Of the British artillery. The british
then stormed into the town and cap
tured what Remained of the enemy's
force-110 men and five officers.
From FavreuiN the British pushed
east and south further encircling
Bapaume.
British shells have been raining
The new section Of the battle front
south Of the Scarpe offers great pos
sibilities. The attacking forces here
are driving eastward astride the Ar
ras- Cambria road and beyond Nom

positions are on the Hindenburg line.

AS soon as the rain ceased scores

continued their systematic attacks

Hoover Outlines Food Sit
uation Of World TO
President Wilson


washington, Aug. 37.-Herbert
Hoover, food administrator. yester-. :.
day told President Wilson the details
OF his trip abroad and OF the ara
rangements regarding foodstuffsz
made with the government of allied
nations, and of the part which the
United tSates must play in added
economy of wheat, fats and sugar.
The wheat situation was touched
upon at the conference and the
amount of this cereal to be shipped
to the allies and the price to be paid
for it were mentioned, but no CONF
illusions were reached. Decision on.
the question Of wheat shipments is
expected to be reached late this week
after conferences with other offs
Gals. .
Mr.. Hoover said after the confer
ence with the president that the food
administration has in view no new
voluntary "rationing" plans for the.
people of the United States, but that
a campaign with economy for its
watchword, is planned. He said the
people of America have not yet
been introduced to economy as it is
known in Europe, despite the saving
of wheat and sugar that have been
effected at the instance OF the food
administration through economy
campaigns.

Captured U-Boat Officer
May Be Man Who
Sank Lusitania

Paris. Aug 27.-Lieut. Schweiger,
the man who sunk the Lusitania,
has been captured by French pa
troll boat In the Mediterranean, ac-
cording to La Journal.
A large submarine, Of which he
was second in command, had just
torpedoed a British steamer between
Malta and Sicily. The German was
waiting to see the vessel sink when
two French patrol boats emerged
from the fog and sank the U-boat.
OF the crew OF rs, only one Off
GERS and four men were rescued
by the patrol boats.
While being taken to Toulon, the
officer appeared i'll at ease. When
he thought no one was looking he
tried to throw some papers over
board, but sailor seized his arm.
He refused to answer questions but
an examination of the papers ex-
planned his uneasiness.
LaJournal asks If the man who
committed the most vile, the most
barbarous and the most cowardIy
act in the annals of war" is merely
to be- sent to a prison camp.
A dispatch from Toulon last Fri
day which described the sinking Of
a German submarine in the Medi-
terranean by patrol boats, added
that the mate OF the submarine at
tempted to. commit suicide when
brought on board rescue ship. The
man appeared to be insane and was
reported to have declared that the
lost U-boat had torpedoed the Lusi-
tania. .,...
The German admiralty, according
to advices from London, August 10, 4
admitted that Lieut.. Schweiger was
killed when a U-hoat that he com
struck mine in the North
sea- The dispatch said that his
death occurred in September, 1915.
