EXCITEMENT IN THE PIT
REPRESENTATIVES of the Allies Cameo

Chicago, Aug. 13-The Chicago

grain trade-closed yesterday after
noon in feverish excitement, follow
ing the cancellation by representa-
tives of the entente allies of wheat
contracts aggregating more than 2,
100000 bushels for September de-
livery.
Many conjectures followed this
action, the most generally accepted
reason being that the Dardanelles
had been or soon would be opened
Next in order was the belief that
the Balkan states had definitely de-
cided to join the allies.
Other reasons advanced were the
prospects for early peace, the low
point of foreign exchange and the
determination Of foreign govern
ments to use up some supplies first
and help out home producers before
using import stocks. There also were
hints of plan on the part OF the
allied governments, particularly Italy
to govern the home markets and die
tate prices themselves.

WILL WORK FOR PEACE
Neutral Cardinals and Bishops VIII
Meet in Switzerland

! London, Aug. 13-The Morning
Post states that the Italian press
! gives prominence to notice or
culated by q news agency which ge.
nerally is well informed on vatican
affairs, to the effect that. Cardinals
Gibbons and O'Connell, of Balti-
more and Boston, respectively, have
called a meeting of neutral cardl-
nails and bishops to be held in 8he
course of few weeks in Switzerland
for the purpose. of discussing some
concrete proposals for arranging
terms of peace between the present
belligerents.
1t would appear that these car
dinals have invited Roman Catholic
authorities in neutral countries to
such conference which though not
officially inspired by the Vatican, has
undoubtedly received its unofficial
recognition.
For the moment the Pope in his
messages directed to the peoples and
rulers at war has said the last word
on the question of peace and any fur
ther initiative must come from the
outside.
The fact that Cardinal Gibbons
had a long conference with Presi-
dent Wilson on the question of acting
as intermediary is supposed to have
given rise to the initiative Of the car
dinals. It would seem also that this
initiative is not unknown or unin-
spired from German-Austrian sources.

Petrograd, August l3-The bank
of the Niemen forms the worst
stumbling block the Germans have
had to encounter. On it many thou
sands of bodies have been eft be-
mind by the enemy, who is sti:. on
the south bank Of the river.
The German efforts against The
Fortress of Kovno have cost them
more dearly than any previous at
tempts at storming during the east
ern campaign. They brought up b.
rail and motor their heaviest artil-
lery and tried bodily to take by main
force what ordinarily would have re-
quired prolonged operations.
They used an entire army and
spared neither men nor shells in order
that they might take kovno quickly
They lost colossal number of men
in trying TO prevent the garrison Of
the fortress from repairing the
damages.
On the third day Of their attack
the Germans became more insistent
in their assaults on the western and
northwestern sectors of Kovno
which protrude for five or six miles
between the lower Niemen and the
River Yessa.

tack, destroying three German bat
talions and capturing many men and

been frustrated by the change o!
fronts Of the Germans on the Narew
from the southwark TO the eastward.
When Won Woyrsch's army stepped
in between the latter and the Fourth
Austrian Army, whose purpose it was
to cut off the Russians from Brest-
Litovsk, this operation was foiled.
The Russians fought so desperately
that although Mackensen was sup
ported by seven or eight corps and
had the best technical means of war
fare at his command--including poi
sonous gases this attempt to pierce
the Russian front on the right bank
Of the Vieprz failed and the enemy
has now been repulsed 20 miles back
