WHEAT-There was II complete change OF

In final decline OF Ia to lac per bushei.
IL was early evident that Mondays big
export trade would not DO duplicated, al
though there were orders which in ordinary
times would mean big business. Some
estimates at the close OF the market figure
1000 900 bushels as the amount aiken In all
pcsitions, but the total Monday was
estimated as high as 1000. 900 bushels, while
In the last four business days upward OF
10000 bushels at least have been worked
FOR export. The reaction seemed TO be more
tho result OF natural realizing after Il series
Of strong markets than any reflection of
distinctly bearish news. In tho United
states and Canadian stocks an Increase or
$4,000 bushels was reported by Brad
streets for the week, against an increase
last year VI 4,ssO.OOo bushels. Liverpool

mission Reports.

Washington, Nov. while admit
ting scientific management of govern
ment arsenal work is not liked by
many labor organizations. and bills in
tended to stop it will be favorably re-
ported by some congressional commit
tees, General Crozier. chief of ord
nance of the army. in his annual re-
port, states the subject has been taken
up by the industrial relations commits
sion and that congress should not take
action until It receives the commits
sioners' report.
Crozier scouts the idea that the
system involves Undersira-
bic hurrying of men to their resulting
mental or moral detriment.
At Watertown arsenal, he shows. some
classes of employees receive % per
cent of their daily wages as additional
bonuses under the system.

NEGRO OFFENDER
At WHITE HOUSE
President Terminates Interview
With Delegation on Ac-
count Of Chairman.

Washington. Nov. 12.-President
Wilson, while receiving a delegation
of negroes today who came 20 protest
agaiHs; segregating races in govern
ment departments, objected TO the tone
adopted by their spokesman. W. H..
Trot-er Of Boston. and told the COM
mittse if it called again it would have
20 get a new chairman. The presi-
dent added that he had not been ad-
dressed in such manner since he has
been in the White house.
The delegation charged that Secre-
taries McAdoO and BurIesou and Con
troIler Williams enforced segregation
rules in ;heir Offices. The president
replied he had been assured there had
been no discrimination in the com
forts and surroundings given negroes.
but that segregation had been started
10 avoid friction between the races.
The president said he felt the white
race was willing TO do everything pos
sible 10 assist the negroes.
Trotter and others took issue with
the president. declaring the negro peo-
pie did not seek charity. but equal
rights. The president listened TO
what they had 10 say. then told the
delegation that Trotter was losing his
temper aad that he Cthe president)
would not discuss the matter further
with him.

Terrible Fighting Hand to-
Hand With Bayonet and
Machine Guns Described.

London, Nov. 12-An eyewitness
description of the first desperate con-
fiict between the London Scottish reg
iment and the Germans was issued
last night by the British official press
bureau. The fighting of the London
Scots, a territorial command. is prais-
ed as most heroic and equal to any
thing the regular army could do, for,
although almost surrounded by enc
mics, the British cut way out.
oct. 81" says the account, being
ordered to take up a section of the
firing line TO support some of our
cavalry and having advanced to its
position under heavy fire from field
guns, howitzers and machine guns,
the battalion reached u point where
further movement forward was impos-
sible There it maintained itself I'M
til dusk, when it proceeded to in
trench.
From . o'clock that night until
a. IN. Sunday the Germans made nu-
merous attacks on the Scottish line,
all OF which were repulsed by rifle
fire At . a. IN. they made their great

left of the position in great force.
"A considerable number succeeded
by detour in getting around the
flank of the regiment. A large pro-
portion of these were engaged by the
companies in support and reserve.
while others penetrated between the
first and second lines of trenches and
assailed our firing line in the rear.
while the fighting with rife and
bayonet was going on, both in front
and Immediately behind the firing line,
a reserve company still farther be-
hind made repeated bayonet charges
against the enemy, who had got round,
and so prevented the entire envelop-
ment of the battalion.
Behind the firing line the scene of
combat was lit up by blazing house,
which the Germans had set alight.
at dawn it was discovered that
large numbers of the enemy had
worked round both fianks with ma
chine funs. and a retirement was car
ried out. This was effected under a /
cross fire from machine guns and l
rifles
