A ruling on tlio present laws which will decide clearly tho Government's power to keep war prices down has been asked of Attorney General Gregory by President Wilson. The President particularly wishes to know how far tho Government can bo under the food control and the national de fense acts. The defense net authorizes the Kx tcutlvo In tlmo of war or other na tlonarcmergcncy to commandeer nun piles at fair prices, but doubt has ex isted as to whether tho law vests In him power to forco producers to sell to tho Allies and to tho general public at the same figures obtained by th Government.

The procla mation becomes effective August 30. The administrative board of the Exports Coun cil, of which Vanco McCormlck Is chairman, Sirlll supervise the work of control. P Coin, bullion, currency and evidences of Nebt even wero Included in the restricted lUUtt affecting tho European neutrals and tnemy countries, although It was specified (hit thev would not bo Dlaced under the rj licensing system except on order of the Secretary of tho Treasury. This step was UXen to Indicate that the Government was prepared, If It felt such a courso Justified, to atop American money going to neutrals Won whom Germany, offering coal and ether essentials, applies in return made de mands for gold. Enemy countries and neutrals adjacent to Germany and Its allies were treated In a separate section of the proclamation. An other section directed that certain coramod. Kits be added to the list of articles already trader export control to all countries of the wrld, Including the allies of America. COTTON AND SUCAR ON LIST The most notable of these were cotton, niar and lumber. It was predicted In the Evenino Ledueu recently that these "essen tials" would shortly be controlled by presi dential proclamation because of the tro- Iv mendoiit crrmvth In the exoorts to allies and neutrals. Th fact that the President treated the position of the European neutrals, such as the Scandinavian countries, Holland, Spain id Switzerland, In a separate section and tut off 'from them, except under speclar license, virtually every commodity from the United States was considered here as most , slmiflcant and pointing absolutely to a rigid Bollrv nt rntlnnlni- nn a. basis that WOUld ll leave tor Germany no hope of succor from wat quarter.

Its civilian population is deserting the town, at tho order of the Austrian high command, according to the Zurich correspondent of Corriere d'ltalia, whose dispatches were cabled to the Italian embassy hero today. Most of the citizens left yesterday, taking with them "all articles of value," the cable stated. They sought refuge in the interior of Austria. Hourly tho Italian offensive becomes more certain of a military decision, cable messages say. The Austrian troops in the sector dominated by Monte Santo are reported so far ahead of the Italians that no trace of them can be found except stacks of abandoned munitions, guns and food. From Monte Santo many square miles of territory can be raked by the Italian artillery. No Austrian position in this zone can be held more than a few hours. Monte Gabricle and Monte Daniele, northeast of Gorizia, are still held by the Austrians, but are isolated. No food or munitions can reach the beleaguered troops. The fall of these mountain forts is a matter of days, the cables say. Emperor Carl spent the entire day of August 22 at the front with the Austrian high command and General Borocviz. He saw Tarnovo captured and , one fort on the Carso destroyed by tho Italian bombardment. He left while the Italian troops were charging to victory. Austrian papers admit tho precarious po-.tion of their troops. The Lokal Anzeiger correspondent makes no effort to conceal the important advantages gained by the Italians. HAIG'S TROOPS PLOW FORWARD 2000 YARDS AT LANGEMARCK LONDON, Aug. 28. Lunging foiward In the sea of mud left by yesterday's heavy rainstorm, the British advanced 2000 yards southeast of Lange marck (West Flanders front), the War ORlco announced today. The gain was made along the St. Jullcn-Poclcappelle road. Hits gain followed heavy fighting. The attack was begun yesterday, when front lines were carried by storm. The British attacked In forco both east and boutheast of Langemarck. Apparently the assault was preceded by a feint toward the east of Yprcs. BERLIN, Aug, 25. Except for a "small Indentation."

Aug. 28. Violent artlllerylng over half a dozen sectors of the French front, coupled with raids, were reported In today's ofllclal state ment. "A violent German bombardment of the California plateau and at rhevreaux was stopped by the French artillery," the War Ofllco said. "The enemy was unable to at tack. French troops raided Butte Soualn, taking prisoners. "Around Verdun, In the Avoeourt -wood and Beaumont tectors, aitlllery lire was very aetUe." Germany has lost more than GO.OOO men In the Flanders battle alone since July 1. The figures were compiled today when the assembling of data obtained from prisoners was completed. Prisoners said thirty-seven German divisions (approximately 635,000 men) had been engaged In tho Flanders sec tor since the first of last month. Thirty of these (approximately 450,000 men) hao been withdrawn on account of losses. Tho German high command's usual prac tice is to withdraw a dMslon for reor ganization after Its losses have taken from JOuO to 2500 men. Taking this as a basis. It can be assumed that If Gei many Iihh withdrawn thirty di visions her looses must bo anywhere from C0.000 to 75,00i. A conservative estimate would put them considerably above 50,000. Seven German divisions which were on the Flanders front on July 1 nie still there. These estimates of losses do not take Into account tho huge casualties width the enemy l.ns sustained of lato around Ver dun and the Chemtn-des-Dames. By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD MOSCOW, Aug. 2!. President Wilson's message to the llus slan conference electrified that assembly to day. Ills pronileo that America would aid now Ilussla "with all moral and material power" was greeted with thunderous cheers, ills cntlio statement produced a deep Impression, coming as It did after speeches by Cabinet officials had bared Russia's grave need ot financial, industrial nnd moral aid, The President's cable was received nt midnight. Tho conference hnd labored for long hours beforo that. The great hall ot the meeting was stilled as the tired dele gates prepared to leave. Tho messago was read by Premier Kercnsky amid a silence that bespoko eager nttentlon. Then came a storm of cheering. Every delegate In tho hall nr'o'e to his feet. Tho bedlam of sound continued for several minutes. It was tho first time since the conference assembled that there was any unnnlmlty of action. Even tho Cadet party members Joined In the demonstration. Heretofore they havo sat stolidly, almost glumly, ap. plaudlng no speakers except those of their own parly. Tho chasm between these nulet Cadet forces and the Workmen's nnd Soldiers' ienrecntatlvcs was Just an wide early to day when tho session concluded as It was In preceding meetings. Tho single point of unanimity between the two forces de veloped In the reading of President Wil son's message. General Kornlloff today added to his pes slmlatlo plcturo ot Russian conditions by &a Ing: "Our railways are demoralized. By No vember the, army will not be receiving sup plies. As I read the statistics or production, munitions have failed CO per cent In out put In tho last four months. A southwest ern commander has telegraphed there Is a bread famine there. With all these grave situations I believe the genius and the rea son of the Russian people will eave the country." General Kalcdln, leader of the Cossacks, spoke to the Russian conference Immedi ately following Kornlloh", and urged that his commandcr-ln-clilcf's suggestions be car ried out. All of Moscow Is guarded In a fashion reminiscent of the old days of autocracy. Cossacks patrol the city hall, where the conference meets. Admltanco Is guarded strictly. Uniforms are sprinkled everywhere. AUSTRIANS RENEW DRIVE ON BESSARABIAN FRONT GENEVA. Aug 28. Archduke Jos-eph's Austio-Hungariaii TANGIBLE HELP OFFERED NEW REPUBLIC BY WILSON WASHINGTON. Aug. 2S. Ettieme significance Is attached In diplo matic elides to the message forvvnrded by Piesldent Wilson to the Russian National Council at Moscow. Brief as Is the mes sage.

Ken. nard, vice president of the Bell Telephone Company, today Informed Philadelphia Ap peal Board No. 1 that of tho 2358 male em ployes of the company who are subject to the draft In Pennsylvania exemptions which be aeked for one-third of that number. "We shall not ask for the exemption ot men In the financial, clerical or admlnlstra. five departments," said Mr. Kennard, "but must ask the help of the 'Government m order to keep tho force Intact. At present the Bell Telephone Company is doing a work that Is done by military forces In for. clgn countries." Outlining the work being done for th Government Mr. Kennard asserted that 120 men are at work on the telephone plant at tho Wrlghtstown cantonment. "That Is but one of the countless Jobs we are doing. If we are to continue the Government must exempt the skilled men who cannot b replaced. Nine per cent of our male em. ployes are either In tho service or headed that way, but we must not permit all of them to enter. INDU.STP.IAL, EXEMPTIONS CLAIMED Tho board held Its first public meeting and representatives of moro man twenty big industrial concerns were present ana presented Information In regard to the number of exemptions they would demand. The meeting was held In the board room of the Provident Trust Company, Fourth and Chestnut streets. William M.

Traylor, president of the Traylor .Shipbuilding Company, which Is affiliated with the Emergency Fleet Corporation, said that 100 men out of 600 employed In the company's plant at Bristol cannot be re placed. Itepresentatlves of Industrial establish ments who appeared before the hoard to day, while pointing out that their plants are virtually part of the Government sys tem, displaced a gratifying spirit of co operation by keeping their requests down to a fraction of the employes liable to con. scrlptlon. A representative of the New Tork Ship building Corporation. Camden, directed at tention to the fact that the plant is twice hit by the draft because about 1000 of th employes live In Philadelphia, so that th force is drawn uppn by two cities. lie as. sorted that the plant Is 3000 men short ot the number that oould be used at present. Incidentally, he revealed that when the Government commandeered the yard worlt was suspended on the battleship Idaho in order to permit greater speed In turning out destroyers. The speaker also took th stand that the ship yard Is now really a. part of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, and us such should have Its employes exempt from other Government service. He said he was not prepared to give figures as to how many of the employes subject to ths draft would bo considered Indispensable, but Indicated that It would be a large per celitage.
