citizens that make the burden of tax
alton harder than it should be for hon.
est taxpayers because all taxes which
by trickery and dishonest methods tax
dodgers get out Of paying must be
made up by the less favored and more

The tax commission will aid as

; GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Sharp price losses in wheat resulted today from in dications that British buyers had with drawn from the market. The close was heavy at E to 35s net decline with December s1.S5% to s1.S6, and May
 ;howcd q Setback-corn ? to 23s, oats s4 to 2MMA and provisions 15 to 55 cents.
 Al first. the wheat market dis played considerable strength owing to word that .he visible supply in Eur ope had decreased 1.as4,000 bushels during the week and because British lniliers were said to be purchasing flour abroad at fancy prices. When absence of sales to Great Britain at tractcd notice prices took a decided downward swing.
 According to the best available in- formation, export sales Of wheat for the day were almost entirely to neut- raj countries. Buffalo advices said elevators there were full. and lhae shipments to tho seaboard were ser iorsly hampered by the inadequacy of the supply of cars.
 Corn weakened in the face of clear, cold weather, likely to bring about en- larged receipts. There also were re- ports that live stock was being un- duly forced to sale by the high prices of corn and that the winter demand for feeding would be much dimin- ished Oats gave way with co. .i. Declines were retarded to some extent as a result of falling off in receipts | at country stations.

Washington Fears Grave
Results from Fryatt Case

Washington, July 2S.-Germany's ex-
ecution Of Captain Fryatt is regarded
In Allied quarters here as brutal
violation OF international law, likely
10 result in prompt retaliatory meas
ures bv Great Britain. They contend
that If a hostile submarine approached
the Brussels, il was In effect an at
tack, and that Captain Fryatt, in max
ing a counter attack by attempting to
ram, subjected himself only to treat
ment as a prisoner Of war in event OF
capture.
The United States government Is in
terested in the incident and what may
follow il, particularly because Of the
bearing il may have upon the difficult
problems involved in submarine war
fare. Reprisals By the Allies, it is
feared. might be followed by change
in the German submarine policy, which
has been satisfactory 10 the United
States since the last assurances that
merchant ships would not be attacked
without warning or without provision
for safety Of passengers and crews.
Convention No. 10 of the second Hague
peace conference sets forth that the
crews OF merchantmen who legitimate
ly resist capture shall be treated as
part Of the armed forces of an enemy.
Officials here point out that the
United States has taken the position
that the master Of any merchant yes
sci who sees a submarine approaching
has, from the very nature of the sub
marine method of warfare, the right TO
presune that he is about TO be at
tackled, and consequently has the right
to forestall that attack by himself

"As the title TO lands under water
