s CHICAGO, June 15.-Wheat was
sharply lower today in the face OF
the expected monster crops and
weather conditions that were virtual
ly made to order for the crop. Prices
at opening showed over night recess
sions of 1M and y. The price de-
preston continued until later in the
day, July was quoted at 1925 and
September at 1O01a, which represent
ed declines from opening of rs and
TX respectively.
Corn also was very much lower
today. Prices at the opening were
up / II and down Is below yesterd avs
close. The wheat weakness had
much to do with the later decline OF
rs in July and 9s in September corn
futures. Some scattered selling aided.
Oats followed wheat from the start,
being sharply down at the opening
and continuing until at one time
prices touched 44A and 39as, recess
sions since yesterdays close of Is on
both futures.
Provisions, because of heavy sell
ing, were sharply lower.

BRITISH CONNECTS ARE SENT
 TO THE TRENCHES

LONDON, Nov 26-Although the decrease in prison population in England is attributed to the enlist ment of many habitual petty offend CTS, the restricted hours for the sale of intoxicating liquors, and the great demand for labor which has made regular employment unusually profitable and attractive, prisons have been further depleted by an order issued early in the war by the home secretary allowing certain prisoners remission of sentence in order that they might join the army. On the recommendation of the military authorities, prisoners convicted of minor offenses who had previously served in the army, were allowed to rejoin their old compan- ies. Arrangements were also made to permit. selected cases of inmates in Borstal reform institutions to en- list. Under this provision 340 boys detained in these institutions have been released up to the first of May. The conduct of these recruits las been carefully watched and it b reported that thirty have recelv~ ed noncommissioned rank, sixtoen have been killed or wounded, and only seventeen have committed fresh offenses.

TELLS OF PEACE MOVEMENT

CHICAGO, Nov. 26-Some de- tails of plans which are being made in the neutral nations of Europe to bring an end to the war in that continent, were divulged by former congressman Bartholdt in an address before the Missouri Peace Society here.
 The anti-war conference of Hol- land has suggested, MT. Bartholdt said, that a committee composed of former President Taft, former Sec retary of State Bryan, Elihu Root David Starr Jordan and other prom inent Americans go to Europe as 2 delegation for peace. MT Bartholtlt said, he too, had been asked to be 2 frember of this committee.
 "The neutral nations of Europe, he said, Suggested that the initiat i've for peace be taken by them rath CT than by the United States fol very obvious reasons. I believe al the warning nations are ready fol peace and they probably will lister to such proposals if suggested in { manner which will not involve tn, humiliation of any nation."
