The proiest was overruled. Borge- meister stayed as Heynen's secretary. “After President Wilson issued the “proclamation forbidding Germans to [Mtive‘or work in certain barred zones without permits, Heynen applied to Mr. Knox personally for # permit, on the ground that the German Club is within a half-mile of the Twelfth Regi- 4) @Ment armory and that his office in No. 46 Broadway is within the zone of the Army Building on Whitehall Street.

Braye- en-Laonnols, on the Chemin-des- Dames, is ten miles cast of Vauxall- lon.) “In Champagne,” the report con- tinues, “we have aarried out in the sector of Mont Haut and to the east of Mont Carnillet (twelve miles east of Rheims) — detailed operations which enadled us to reduce two small salients and to capture a score of prisoners.

Many German youths of the 1918 class, this correspondent says, lie in front of the French lines and in the shell craters with their packs still strapped to their backs. “The German Crown Prince had ar- ranged @ surprige party for us,” the commanding Geéneral told the cor- respondent, “in order to offset the Russian victory in Galicia, but he knocked at the wrong door and re- ceived a disagreeable reception.’ Neither on the Somme, at Verdun nor in the Champagne, this General sald, had he experienced a more in- tense artillery bombardment He! could not communicate with his ar- tillery commanders because the wires had been broken by projectiles, Hoe was utterly astonished when he saw his own artillery, without awaiting orders, open a barrage fire. This, and the French rifle fire from the trenches, made it almost impos- sible for the Germans to come over the top. in Night t Ballecourt, LONDON, July 7.—The lull tn the fihting on the British front in France and Flanders continues, “A second form of spying was or- ganized by the German Consuls in jreat Britain, who collected inform: tion by means of hotel waiters, bar- bers, governesses and domestic se: Vants, to whom they pald compara- tively small sums monthly, “In naval and military towns tho German Government provided Ger- mans with capital with which to open and purchase hotels, All this was done through the consuls, “Then there was a series of aples organized by the famous departmen which had its headquarters in Brus- tela, These were spies who moved about In a good social circle as a ruls, picking up any information they could get.

BPRLIN, July 1—Tho battle in Eastern Galicia between the Teutonio forces and the Russians has developed afresh to-day after a Aolent artillery action. “Massed assaults by the Russians between Zborow and Kontuchy and at Brrezany broke down with very heavy losses to the enemy,” says the official statement issued last evening by the German Army headquarters staff, “Between Zborow (nine miles southeast of Zlodhow) and Brzezany lan artillery battle of great violence developed,” the official report says. “It diminished during the night and has increased again since daybreak, Also at Zwyzyn, Brody (near the border line of Galicia and Russia) and Smorgon (far to the north, fifty miles east of Vilna) the artillery was very lively at intervals, observed preparations by Roumanian infantry for an attack against @ome heights held by us south of the Casinu Valley on the Roumanian front. These were dis- persed by our destructive fire. On the Lower Danube the enemy was more restless than he had been lately.” The official statement from Austro- Hungarian general headquarters to- y says: the south of Casinu Valley 2 pared to attack, were dispersed by our fire, “In the Galician battle sector the enemy artillery fire increased yea- terday afternoon and early to-day. An attack west of Zborow to-day was repulsed.” An official report from Constant!- nople concerning the activities of the Turkish troops in Eastern Galicia says: “Our troops captured yesterday 202 Russians in repelling an attack. Five hundred Russians were killed with the bayonet.

FOOD AND MARKET Pe THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1917 WORKINGS OF GERMAN SP COVERNIENT IN NATON WIDEFIHT TOUT BREAD fT Washington Conspiracy Indict- ments are Beginning of the Federal Crusade. WASHINGTON, July 7.—A Federal Grand Jury herg has returned in- dictments against four men said to be agents of two leading baking com- Dantes and one grocer on charges of conspiracy to hold the retail price of bread at 10 cents a loaf. The agents are also charged ,with having con- siired to decline to sell their product to a grocer who desired to retail bread at 9 cents a loaf. | This is believed to be only the be- ginning of a widespread investigation by the Departinent of Justice and the Federai Courts in an effort to compel the big baking companies to reduce the cost of bread as the price of flour goes down. Lower prices for ohickens the year around was the object of a conference held at the Bureau of Markets, De- partment of Agriculture, to-day. Rep- resentatives of the frozen poultry in- | dustry from all parts of the country were in attendance, to hold their chickens until they weigh from three to four pounds instead of selling them as “springers” with an average weight of one pound. This, it was pointed out, would hold back the farmers’ supply while the cold storage surplus was being placed on the market. The poultrymen evinced & Gisposition to sell off their surplus in such quantities that speculators} cannot get hold of it and store it. Retailers are eald to be largely re- sponsible for the present high price of poultry, according to facts developed in the conference. The wholesale price now is 6 cents less than at this | time last year, but the average re- tailer has made no reduction and ts much more responsive to market changes when the price goes up than when it goes down. Figures worked out by an expert | jovernment statisticlan and made | public to-day indicate that from 17,- | 686,000 to 34,783,000 persons could have been acientifically fed for one year on the total amount of food- | stuffs exported from the United States | July 1, 1916, and April 1, 1917. ison of the wholesale price of flour in the United States and Eng- | land for three years shows that, while the English wholesale price was some- what higher in 1916, the American price was markedly higher in 1917 and slightly higher in 1915, uniting the 7,000 flour mills of the country’ to aid the Government in its task of food distribution are now be- ing worked out, according to an an- | nouncement to-day by James F.
