Washington, Aug. ls.--The last officer
on the active list OF the United States

day when Col. John L. Glenn, quartermas-

CANCEL BIG
WHEAT ORDERS
The Action on Part of European Repre-
sentatives Puzzles Dealers
in This Country.

Chicago, Aug. decentralization Thurs
day by representatives of the allies o
contracts aggregating nearly 2,0o0,oo'
bushels of wheat, bought for Septembel
shipment to Europe, was puzzling to thu
grain trade yesterday.
Not only We're cancellations reported
by Chicago concerns, but some seaboarc
exporters claimed to have closed out
open contracts.
Canadian exporters also reported some
cancellations:
James z. Patten, former board OF
trade operator, discussing the cancella-
tions, said:
IF peace were in sight, Europe would
still need wheat, and she would have the
credit to get it. The cancellation of or
ders, therefore, would seem to indicate
one of two things Either Europe has
found source of new supply, which
means Russia; or, Europe finds that she
cannot pay"
1t was said that two of the largest
firms which cancelled contracts were the
Armour Grain company and the j. Ro-
senbaum Grain company.
George c. Marcy, president of the Ar
mour company, said:
81 am unable to understand what has
happened abroad. 1t must be something
important, or they would not have can
celed purchases that show such profits
and give them away.
Possibly it is that the Dardanelles
Is to be opened, but we have no con-
firmation. England wants to hold her
gold, and by buying wheat in Canada
and Australia she can use her credits and
keep her gold with which to buy NUM-
tions. If Europe does not buy our wheat
freely, it will mean much TO us and make
a great difference here in prices"
Emmanuel f. Rosenbsum of the J.
Rosenbaum company said:
Our cancellations were not heavy. 1t
was about three days ago that the buy.
ing stopped. The European buyers
started to beg out of their purchases,
accepting a loss of from eight to ten
cents a bushel."
J. p. Morgan was quoted as denying
that the allies were canceling orders for
wheat and traders were skeptical as TO
the Importance of the cancellations. New
ertheless, the wheat market was nerv-
GUS, and prices dropped at the opening
from l1s TO 3ss cents.

office of Morgan a company knew any.

RAILROADS OFF ON
ANTHRACITE DECISION
Whole List Drops on Heavy Sales at the
0pening-Activity in Specialties
With Gains.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE severe cut
made by the interstate commerce com
mission in the revenues of the anthra.
cite railroads was reflected in the weak
ness of those issues at the opening OF
yesterdays stock market. A block Of
1880 shares OF Erie was offered down
from 271s to 81, against Thursdays
closing price of 20. Reading made an
initial decline of four points, and Lee
high Valley fell as much, later losing
almost a total of six points. The en-
tire railway list was adversely affected
with losses of one TO two points in the
Pacific and some of the eastern roads.
Activity in pool specialties was re-
stunned with gain of five points in Beth
lehem Steel preferred and four and one
half in Virginia Iron, Coal g. Coke.

SHORT OF AUTO TIRES.
Norway Autoists Begin to Feel the Pinch
Of Shortage.

Christiania, Aug. l4.-Norwegian
owners of automobiles are hard hit by
the announcement of dealers that the
supply of tires has been exhausted, and
it is impossible to replenish the stock
to any extent because the belligerent
countries are taking up all the worlds
supply. At present, it is said, there is
not new tire to be bought at any
price in Norway.
The situation is much more than an
noying, for it will have serious eco
nomical effect on Norwegian farming
1t is doubtful if any country has adopt
ed the automobile more extensively in
a public way, for in Norway the sparsely
settled hills have never been able to sup
port railways, and the automobile has
come to be the principal means of com
munication and transportation, both for
the farmer and commercial men. The
innumerable cars which have been put
to service in recent years are all of for
eign make, for there is no automobile
factory in Norway, and the same is true
as to oil, gasoline and tires. The impor-
tation of tires has steadily decreased
since the European war began, and the
present impossibility of obtaining new
tires has forced many of the taxicabs in
Christiania to go out of business. The
cars on the public automobile routes in
the country are wearing their tires down
to the last thread, and it appears their
service may soon have to be cancelled.
The Royal Automobile club, of which
King Haakon is honorary president, is
now negotiating with foreign govern
ments in the hope of getting permission
to import tires, with guaranty on the
part of Norway that the tires will not
be exported to any of the belligerent
nations.

pledge not to conclude peace separate
ly or to make demands for peace not
previously agreed upon among them
selves.
1t may well be called the German
war, for while it has allies, Germany
is the great figure. Through German
aid and direction, the medieval Turk
has given the allies the most painful
surprise of the war. A few months
ago Austria-Hungary was suffering
great reverses and was expected to
become a suppliant for peace. But
when leavened with German troops
and commanded by German officers,
the Austrian army became a mighty
fighting machine. Although it made
its greatest advances to the west and
south in September, Germany is still
/ fighting on foreign soil. 1t holds Lux
emberg, Belgium and the richest sec
ton of France and bids fair to hold
Russian Poland, fighting successfully
now where it fought disastrously last
October. Only Alsace is occupied by
an invader. Germany has lost its
Asiatic and African possessions. Its
commerce has been swept from the
seven seas. Its gets no supplies from
outside, except from Scandinavia and
from Holland and Roumania. Being
unable to buy abroad, it has piled up
mo great foreign debt. But it seems
to have everything it needs and is
performing prodigies of valor and dar-
ing. With its submarine warfare it
has forced up marine freight and in
surance rates and threatened England
with a fish famine. But the allies
show no lack of confidence. Japan

A Year of The War

While Austria Hungary and Serbia
started to fight four days before, the
great war really began with the en-
trance of Germany and Russia year
ago today. Details of battles and
movements and reports of killed,
wounded and captured have come only
through censors whose chief zeal is
not for the truth. But there are GER
tain outstanding facts no censor could
hide. One is the immensely of the
conflict. More men have been killed
and more treasure spent than in any
other dozen wars of like duration.
Human ingenuity has tried to Guido
itself in devising methods of destruc-
ton. Every realm of knowledge has
been drawn upon and every kind OF
skill engaged. There has been fight
ing on land, on sea, in the air, under
the sea and in subterranean trenches
: The war and its effects, felt to a
greater or less degree by every human
creature, have occupied the attention
of commerce, industry, science, state
craft, philanthropy, religion and phil
osophy. Sages said such a war was
impossible. When it began they pre-
dicted speedy end. But after a veal
of terrific conflict, making previous
battles seem skirmishes, each belliger.
ant declares it is fighting for its life

Past and Future Troubles

Misconstruing Mr.. Hilles' descrip-
diction, our venerable morning con-
temporary ridicules the prospect Of
united Republicanism. 1t seems to
have its back to the future. 1t mag
ines that the sorry conditions of 1912
that inflicted a minority president on
this country still prevail. There is
already a united Republicanism. It
did not come through negotiations and
overtures of leaders. 1t was a union
of the rank and file, forced together
by the distress brought by a demo-
cratic administration. There were a
few leaders who burned their bridges
behind them and are now trying to
swim back, but nearly all have return
ed without regret or discomfort. Our
contemporary makes merry over Bill
Finn and Boies Penrose lying OWN
together. This is unnecessary. Last
fall Pennsylvania spoke against the
democracy in thunder tones. 1t elected
Penrose to the senate, gave Pinchot, a
constructive resident, second honors,
leaving President Wilson's pet candi-
date and official spokesman in the
House, Mr. Palmer, third in the race.
1t laughs about New York, which chose
a republican governor and a republi-
can senator last fall. 1t asks about
the harmony in Illinois, where a re-
publican senator was elected. 1t pic
lures the reconciliation of Senator
Lodge and Mr.. Pinchot. Mr.. Pinchot
has not moved to Massachusetts yet
but A. Sumner Byrd, the progressiv,
leader, has declared himself a repub
lican. Even Col. Roosevelt, befor,
starting on his continental tour, de
clared that he would support "any de
cent republican for president"
Republican wounds have healed
while democratic wounds are just be
ginning to bleed. Mr.. Bryan, domi
nant figure in the democratic party
since 1896, has been forced to quit tn,
cabinet. Roger Sullivan is in a dealt
grapple with Gov. Dunno and Carte
Harrison in Illinois. The president
friends in New York are in a bite
row with Tammany. Senator Kern .
Indiana is reported to take an unhol.
