Export Demand Wipes Out
Early Decline.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Active buying,
supposed to be largely for Eastern ex-
porters, rallied the wheat market to-
day in the last hour, although bears
had control Of prices most Of the time
owing TO the piling up Of stocks.
Steadiness ruled at the close, which
was * 10 &c above last night. Corn
finished unchanged TO a sixteenth off,
oats at a shade advance and provisions
down 10 to 45lac. Supposed difficulty
in obtaining ocean vessel charters made
the enlarged domestic supply Of wheat
look formidable until the seaboard be
gan TO take the initiative on the bull
side. Besides the alleged inadequacy
of the available freight room asser-
tions that the wheat movement 70 tide
water was largely blocked at Buffalo
had been an additional restraint on
the bulls. On the other hand, the fact
that at the same time Europe was COM

under requirements seemed to cut no
figure for a while, but attracted eager
attention when the rally got fairly
under way. Range Of prices;

A Larger News Necessary

The publishers of the News re- gret being forced to leave out the amount of news and Editorial mat ter that is crowded out of our col. umns this week, but there seems to be ho help for It until we publish a yet larger paper. We are making arrangements for the installing of a larger press and great deal more printing material in the near fu- ture, and afte' that a type setting machine. With this done we will be able to put out the paper that the live community of Williams merits. If our readers will bu bear with us a little longer, we promise to supply the community with positively the best newspaper in Northern Arizona.

Poor Bel guim

It is natural for the onlookel to sympathize with the under dog in a fight. Just at present we fee a deep sympathy for Belguim Poor innocent Be'guim! What wrongs she is suffering! How ir reparable the distraction being inflicted upon her! Consecutive reports confirm the burning of cities the killing of women and children by bombs from the air craft, and the dragging of the populace from their homes and the enslaving of them in German harvest fields.
 France, too, is suffering horribly. Because the war has not been carri- ed so long in her borders as within the bounds-of Belguim, we have card less of the details but we know the horrors are present. Barbarism is rampant. Not all the stories that are told are true, but many that will never be told are far more horrible.
 Not all Germans are barbarians but there are brutes among them as among the people of all nations, America not excepted, and in the turmoil and confusion, in the hell of war, these beasts find oppor- tunity for their savagery. The people in the land in which the war rages are the ones to suffer, and the invader, very naturally. are the perpe' uators of the barbar- ious deeds. We'll may we sympa thize with the poor people of Bel guim, particularly with the moth CTS, maidens and children.
 Should the tide of war change and German soil furnish the bat tlefield for the war, then would the German people need our sympathy even as the Belguims do now, the German people in turn would be wronged probably as ba dly ly as the Belguims are at pr sent, but until that time our sympathies are not with them.
