'"Ml BRIEF WA NEWS The Internal eituatloa In Russia con tinues chaotic Bo bad have conditions bccme In petrograd that a state of siege hss been declared by the mili tary authorities. Germane again have trie4 to "out gun" the Americana In their sector southwest ot Toul. As on several for mer occasions the Americans retali ated with each fierceness and accur acy of aim that the enemy desisted. On the battlefronts nowhere has there been an, engagement of great dimensions. On the line In France there have been severs! patrol en counters, with tha Preach the s dures sors against the Germans, of greater then usual violence. The artillery ac tivity along the front continues vio lent In Isolated sectors. Russia has sccepted probably the most costly peace terms ever laid down by a conquering nation to a de feated government. The German de mands Include more extensive annex ations of Russian territory than here tofore mentioned, as well aa virtually confiscating entente allied warabipa in Russisn waters, favored nation com mercial concessions and practically ft Teuton protectorate. AMERICAN PATROL TAKES 22 TEUTONS With the American Army an Franco. An American patrol in the Cbemln-des-Dames sector, to conjunction with a French patrol, early In the morning penetrated a few hundred yards into the German lines and captured two German officers, 20 men and one ma chine gun." Details of the Franco-American raid In the Chemin-des-Dames show that it picked American soldiers partici pated, after every member of their battalion had volunteered. The Americans moved forward eag erly to tha attack behind a barrage fire, the first time this has been done by our troops. Soma ot tha Ameri cans made raptures and others chased Prussian troops through the trenches aa far as 750 meters, going beyond the objectives sought The raid had been planned carefully and rehearsals were held the day before. The bar rage fire began at 5:30 o'clock In tba morning and continued until 0:35, guns of all callbera taking part The artillery duel In the American aector north-northwest of Toul grows more Intense daily. The Germans fired 100 or more shells during the last 24 hours snd later began to bom bard violently some of our batteries with gas and high explosive shells. EXPORTS OF NEUTRALS LESS Shipments to Germany Drop Sixty ' Five Per Cent ' Washington. Food shipments from the northern European neutral coun tries to Germany have been cut 05 to 85 per cent since last year, by the operation of America's export control, aa disclosed in the first annual report of the war trade board. The effect has been also to decrease to a marked extent shipments of other commodi ties from neutral countries to tha en emy. '. ,, " "In undertaking to supply the food and other vital wanta ot neutral peo ples, under carefully considered sgree mente," it declared, "the board has desired to prevent acute suffering in these countries and to prevent them from falling under the economic pow er of the enemy. With German tra ders and comforters in neutral coun tries, however, there is no compromise indicated, but relentless Isolation." THE MARKETS , Portland. Barley Standard feed, $69 per ton.

Washington. Two dollars and flva cents per buahel la to be the Portland and Seattle wheat price for the 10U harvest, the same as laat year's price, under a general proclamation Issued by the president , . The same proclamation fixes tha Chicago price at 32.29 and tha New York price Is 32.23. In addition, new primary marlteta have been established at Spokane, Po catello. Salt Lake and Great Palls, Mont, at each of which places tba price la to be 32 flat The president's action cam at a time when the food shortage In allied countries bos created alarm. The prica be fixed, be says, la hla statement to the farmers, "sssnres a reasonable profit even It the war should end with in the, year and the large stores of grain in those sections of the world now cut off from transportation should again coma into competition. To increase the price of wheat above tha present figure," ha added, "or to agitate any increase of price, would hsvs the effect of viciously ham pering the large operations ot tht na tion and the allies by causing wheat of laat year's crop to be withheld from the market It would, moreover, dis locate all the present wage levels that hava been established after much anx ious discussion. and would therefore create an industrial Unrest which would be harmful to every industry la the country."";' " $3,50 WATER RATE J FOR VHEAT MADE - Portland, Ore. For. wheatgrowera of tho 'Pacific northwest, after long contention for the justice of a price on parity with Chicago, there la grati fying assurance in an official message from Herbert Hoover, received by W. B. Ayer, federal food administrator .for Oregon, which definitely an nounces the establishment of a 3.50 water rate 'from Portland to New York, and an approximate parity price. Apparent' disparity between tha baste price ot $2.05 for Pacific coast wheat, recently decreed by proclama tion ot the president, and identical with that fixed last year, win be set aside by the shipping board's agree ment to carry northwestern wheat la government vessels at tha f 3.50 rata, which automatically insures growers a basic compensation ot approximately 12.18 per bushel. "The shipping board has undertaken to transport excess production ot wheat or flour," reads ; tha Hoover message, "from the Pacific coast In government vessels, and haa made a rate of IS for flour and $3.50 tor wheat In consequence, the food administra tion will be- able to raise the price basia for the 191 harvest at Faoifie coast ports to approximately tha Chi cago basis."
