Rallies, However, Cause Frequent

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Conficting re-
ports regarding the crop situation in
Canada brought about rapid price
changes today in the wheat market
here with no decided advantage to
either side. Liverpool dispatches said
the Canadian outlook was more reas-
suring. Leading experts reporting di-
rect to Chicago houses said the prin-
cipal wheat area in Saskatchewan was
affected with black rust and that if
frost, as predicted, came tonight, 10
per cent Of the crop would be dam
aged. Opening prices, which ranged
from Y off to l cent up, with Septem-
Der at S1.AA to s1.4o, and December
at SAT to sl.4s5a. were followed by a
sharp general setback, then a rally all
around to well above yesterdays fin
ish, and then another sag.
Later material turn down In prices
resulted owing to assertions that owing
to cooler weather the black rust
danger in Saskatchewan might not
prove serious. Offerings, however, be-
came scarce, and the market rallied.

After Miss Youker's testimony the
prosecution will rest its case. Attor-
neys for Orpet will ask the court to
take the case from the jury, failing in
which an adjournment for a day or 50

The defense today objected to the
admission of the earlier letters as hav-
ing no bearing on Marians death.
Judge DOnnelly, speaking TO the law
yers before the jury was called in, said
that the letters were so prejudicial TO
Orpet, as plainly indicating seduction,
that it would be dangerous to submit
them to the jury.

THE WAR TODAY

While the weight of German
military power is being increas-
ingly felt on the eastern front,
where it has stiffened the Austri-
an resistance to the Russians
drive the pressure on the French
at Verdun has mOmentarily less
ened. There has been rather live
ly artillery activity around the Ia
nous western front fortress, but
no further moves by the infantry
are recorded in this afternoons
Paris bulletin.
The Germans have not been al
together idle on this front, how
ever, for after having touched off
two mines northwest OF Rheims,
district in which the deadlock of
the armies has been just about as
complete as anywhere along the
line, they attacked French
trenches on a height south OF
Berry-Au-Bac- Paris declares the
defensive curtain of fire caused the
assault to fail completely.
Athens dispatches forecast
changes in the Greek cabinet as
result of the economic pressure
which the allies have exerted be-
cause of dissatisfaction with the
Greek governments attitude.
Resignation of the cabinet of
Premier SkoulOudis is expected in
some quarters. Former Premier
Zaimis may be asked to form a
ministry acceptable to the entente.
The Austrians, their army cut
in two, are in disOrderIy retreat
with the Russians pursuing them
toward the Carpathian mountains,
according to PetrOgrad. The Rus
slams have crossed the river Sereth,
southwest OF CzernOwitz and have
occupied three towns.
Both the Russians and the Ger
mans claim successes for their
arms betwe cen the Pripet river and
the Galician frontier. though both
official reports say fighting in the
region has been severe
In Galicia in the vicinity of
Bucza0z, Austrians and Germans
are desperately resisting Russian
attempts to advance on Lemburg.
In the Verdun region, lombard
ments have been going on around

has been made by either OF the bel
ligerents.
The Austrians and Italians are

French Hold
TeutCharqe
by Gun Fire

Paris, June q, q1:50 a. IA vio-
lent attack on the French positions
northwest of Rheims was made by the
Germans last night at Hill No. 10S and
in the direction of Berry-Au-Bac, &C
cording to an official statement issued
by the war Office today. The attack
was repulsed by the French artillery
fire.
The Germans exploded two mines be-
fore launching their infantry against
the French trenches. Their repulse
was due, the statement says, to the
effectiveness of the French screen fire
In the Verdun sector no infantry
action was reported but a mutual bonn
bardment was maintained during the
night.
The text of the statement follows:
South of the Somme, before Maui
court, a detachment of the enemy
which attempted to approach our lines
was dispersed with rife fire.
Northwest of Rheims the Germans,
after exploding two mines, delivered
an attack against tie trenches at Hill
los, south of Berry-Au-Bac. Checked
by our curtain of fire, this attack was
defeated completely.
"On both banks of the Meuse CVer-
dun 'front.' our artillery and that of
the enemy were rather active during
the night"

AMERICA HAS NO
DESIRE FOR WAR
People Not Afraid to Fight But Too
Busy With Greater Things, De-
clares Secretary Lane.

Providence, f. l., June u. - The
American spirit is against war not be-
cause Americans are afraid to fight
but because they are too busy with
other enterprises more important than
war, Franklin X. Lane, secretary OF
the interior, declared in commence
ment address at Brown university to-
day. The degree Of doctor Of laws was
conferred on the secretary. Charles
Z. Hughes, republican nominee for
president, was anothC- honor guest.
1.-THE spirit of America is against
war not because we have grown cow
ardly and fear DEATH" said Mr.. Lane,
nor because we have grown fabby
and love softness, nor even because
we have become conscious converts to
the Prince of Peace. But we in Amer
lea have something larger to do. We
are discovering our country. We have
no time for war. We are doing some
thing so much more important We
are at work. That is the greatest of
all adventures. When war comes to a
democracy it comes because we are
not allowed peacefully to work.
What would We fight for? For what
Roger Williams fought for-to be let
alone, to have the opportunity TO show
what man can do for man
