ACTION TAKEN UNDER 8PECIAL WAR ACT BY CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION. All High Grade Wheat Elevators From Fort William to Atlantic Coast are Commandeered, Esti mated at 20,000,000 Buaheis. Ottawa, Ont.—The Canadian gov ernment has commandeered all high grade wheat in elevators from Fort Williams on Lake Superior to the At lantic coast. This action was taken under the special war act by the Canadian grain commission. The wheat seized was of grades one hard and one, two and three northern. It was the property of grain shippers and millers. That taken is all that which on Saturday night was in public elevators at Fort Fort William, Port Arthur, Midland, Tlflfin, Pori) McNiichol, Collingwood, Coderich, Kingston, Port Colborne, Prescott, Quebec, St. John, Montreal and Halifax. A revised estimate places the amount at about 20,000,000 bushels, A considerable amount is the property of American grain dealers. The grain was taken Saturday night so that grain exchanges should be af fected as little as possible. It Is officially stated that the price will be fairly adjusted and the grain owners promptly paid by the Canadian gov ernment. It Is estimated that there Is still In Canada in the hands of farmers and dealers west of Fort Wil liam, 150,000,000 bushels surplus of wheat available for export. It Is er pected that most of this will be taken In the future for the use of Great Britain, Franco and Italy. The domes tic supply of Russia Is more than suf ficient to meet the needs of that coun try. Had the Dardanelles been forced, the surplus of Russian wheat woul(l have made the present action unnec essary. While the wheat just taken was commandeered to fill an order from the British government for a large quantity of wheat, It Is under stood that most of it will be shipped to Italy. The Canadian government will look after the transportation of the grain to the Atlantic seaboard, and from there its shipment across the ocean will be undertaken by the British gov ernment in the same way that ship ments of oats and hay have been handled for the past year.
