Chicago, May S.-Altto wheat showed
weakness at the start the market
quickly rallied. The rapidly with
which offerings were absorbed had
much to do with the change of senti-
ment and so also did report of higher
prices at Liverpool. Rains over a
large part of the domestic wheat belt
were chiefly responsible for the early
sag in values. The opening. which
varied from Is and u lower to Is ad-
vance, was followed by general
rise.
Increased country offerings and the
predictions Of further rains led to a

Corn.
Excellent field conditions put SELL
ing pressure on corn. On the ensuing
break, better injury for spot
delivery, brought about a reaction. At
ter opening 70 to IS down, the market
ecovered.
The close was heavy at 1 cents to
5s@1A cents net decline.
Oats.
Oats swayed with corn. A feature
was free selling of September by
country dealers.
Provisions.
Plentiful receipts of hogs lowered
provisions. The volume of trade not
withstanding was relatively small

USE STATISTICS TO SHOW
SAFETY OF U. S. COMMERCE
British Embassy Officials Quote
. American Department Figures on
Trade With Neutrals.

Commenting upon Consul General
SINNERS report to the State Depart
ment that Great Britain was increas-
ing its trade to neutrals while harass-
ing and interfering with United States
commerce to these same neutrals,
British embassy officials today cited
Department of Commerce statistics as
showing a marked increase in the
value of United States exports to
Denmark, Norway. Sweden and Hol-
land during the twelve months ending
last June over like periods the two
previous years.
The embassy officials said that if the
customs returns of those countries
show decrease in imports from the
United States while the Department of
Commerce figures show a vast increase
in American goods exported to those
countries, it would seem legitimate to
infer that the difference between these
figures would represent the value of
goods that reached Germany by way of
those countries. The lesser figures. as
shown by the returns of those coun-
tries themselves, probably represent
that portion of the imports from the
United States that were for home con-
sumption only.

LURED BY THE U. S. FLAG.

BOSTON. September S.-Dr. Charles
B. Banks, veterinary on the Nicosian
cattle boat which was attacked by a
submarine on the same day and in the
same locality as the Arabic, has writ
ten to relatives in Lowell a letter. in
which he asserts that an English patrol
boat, flying the American flag. sank the
submarine which torpedoed the Arabic.
Not only did the British patrol boat
lure the German submarine through
the misuse of the American flag. he
says, but it's crew shot to death every
German sailor who tried to swim to
safety. Seven Germans who boarded
the Nicosian were shot and killed on
the decks of the cattle boat, the writer
says.

have sustained DR.. Won Bethmann-H oll-

policy be modified for political reasons.
1t was after this conference that it
became known that Won TirpitZ pro-

that this was a subterfuge either to
cover his retirement by order of the
emperor or to hide his chagrin at being
overruled in policy which was popu-
