WHEAT
MARKETS

CHICAGO. July 16.-Price of wheat
declined sharply in the pit here, the
buying demand not being equal to alb
sorbing the hedging sales on the rally
Disappointing cables from Liverpool
and the lack of export sales, together
with weaker tones in other grains
united to drag the figures down.
There was no news of any kind to
stimulate outside buying. and receipts
are likely to run large for some time.
Black rust reports continue to come
in today, but created no apprehension.
Corn news from the west and
southwest was sensational enough to
please the most exacting bull but no
buying enthusiasm was scared up and
prices. in absence of support declin-
ed, locals being free sellers. Damage
reports were plentiful, but there are
so many good prospects that the trad
ers are inclined to overlook the bad
spots. Cash prices were steady to IL
lower, and sales equaled 100000 bush
els.

While the Congress has worked I'M

past five years for Southern and ma
tonal industrial. agricultural, and
social upbuiIding In many important
fields. its greatest and most far
reaching achievement was the organ
ization of the Permanent American
Commission on Agricultural Co-opera-

most OF the States and Canadian
provinces.
This commission, under auspices Of
the United States Government and
with the-State Department and Presi-
dent Wilson's endorsement last sum-
mer completed a three months tour
Of fourteen European countries
where the commission studied agri-
cultural credits and agricultural CO.

cooperation with q Federal commits
sion, an appropriation Of $4,000 be-
ing made at the last session OF Con-
gress for the Federal commission, the
members OF which were appointed by
President Wilson. The two commits

One OF the fruits OF their activities
is seen in the movement. now well
launched in the United States, to es-

CHANCES AGAINST
G|LLS' VERY LARGE
Says Lieutenant Colonel Wrote
Him Red Hot Letter on Sub
ieCt of Re-examination.

You stand as much chance to get a
re-examination as a tallow dog to catch
an asbestos cat in Hades.'
This is the letter which DR.. w. Armi-
stead Gills of Richmond. Va. says was
written to him by ]. r. Kean, leuten-
ant colonel of the medical corps of the
army when he sought to be re-examined
in certain branches of the army medi-
cal school.
War Department records. however,
disclose no such correspondence as DR..
Gills asserts.
He asserts that he was dismissed
from the Medical Reserve Corps because
he wrote charges against officers to
the adjutant general. He failed to pass
some courses in the army medical
school in 1905. When he sought to be
re-examined, he says. he received let
tiers which resulted in his dismissal.
The War Department asserts that DR..
Gills was permitted to take the course
as a matter Of courtesy because Of his
position with the Virginia militia, but
that he failed to maintain the minimum
percentage in each Of his subjects as
required. He was granted certificate
Of attendance but received no diploma.
He says that he was Ill during the ex-
aminations and that an instructor made
a mistake in marking one of his papers
Afterward he was admitted to the
Medical Reserve Corps.
Records show that he was dismissed
about two weeks after he had written
his complaints against officers. The
dismissal was under the act which per-
mits the President to make removals
in the medical service when he sees At.
The War Department in answer to
the doctors charges points out that he
was used fairly by reason Of the fact
that he was admitted to the service af-
ter he had failed in the examinations
of the college.
The doctor asserts that there have
been violations Of the law with respect
to admission to the service. Virginia
Congressman interested themselves in
his case and he obtained a re-eXamina-
ton but did not pass. He claims that
his fight is now for vindication as he
maintains that his examinations have
been Of high enough standard to per-
NIT him to pass.

stables, caught a sentence spoken by
one of the guards. who had been in the
hall. to an interested circle Of his fel-
lows.

Che voice died into dismayed silence,
as the speaker apprehended Erisey's
presnece. The men saluted and scat
tered, while Erisey, making as If he had
not heard, strode on to the gatehouse.

Grass and stupid blow?
While he. beyond the reach of danger
