Carranza is undoubtedly the most diff
fcult individual to deal with that ever
operated as a thorn in the side of a
peace-loving administration. So much
must be conceded. in fairness to Presi-
dent Wilson. but 1t must not be forgot
ten that Carranza was the Presidents
personal choice for ruler of Mexico, and
the President cannot escape responsible
ity for having so suspicious and obstinate
a character with whom to negotiate
terms OF peace--Rochester Democrat.

When Rumania entered the war on
the side of the entente, it was pre-
dicted her action would speedily re-
suit in Greece reaching a decision to
enter the conflict to aid the allies.
But events OF the last week seem to
indicate that Rumania's plunge Is the
strongest argument yet produced in
support of Grecian neutrality. How
ever, if Greece had entered the war
with Rumania, the stories reaching
this country today of German VIC
tories might have been accounts of
Rumanisn and Crecian victories. But
the responsibility for Rumania's sad
plight cannot be placed on Greece
The allies must bear the blame

SERVES AS PRIVATE
SCION or ITALIAN ROYAL HOUSE
IN THE RANKS.
Duke Of the Abrvzzi's af6rother, In
Disgrace, Holds Humble Position
In the Armies That His coun-
try Has Mustered.

Though almost every royal house in
Europe is represented at the front,
Italy's alone can boast OF member
who is simple soldier, fighting among
the rank ard file.
Umberto count OF Salemni, shares
the lot and the labors Of peasants and
workingmen. He is stationed at Vo-
ghera for the moment, In the regiment
OF cavalry guides. His regiment will
soon be dismounted and so into The
trenches.
Then this scion OF the house OF Sa-
voy will tramp side by side with the
rankers and share their trench life on
the exposed and difficult Italian out
posts on the dangerous plateau called
the Carso.
The count IS a son OF Prince Ame-
deo, late duke of Aosta, who died l6
years ago. His mother, the dukes
second wife, is a Princess Bonaparte.
She lives in Turin, and her son, in his
soldiers uniform, is allowed to visit
her on Sundays, when, with the other
men Of the troop, he has several hours
leave.
His half-brothers are Emanuel, duke
Of Aosta; Victor, count of Turin, and
Louis, duke OF the Abruzzi, once the
reputed fiance OF Miss Katherine Hl.
kns. The duke Of the Abruzzi now
commands Italy's feet in the Adri
attic.
The count OF Salemnl is the only
son OF Princess Letitia. He has been
in disgrace for several years, though
the real story is known to only the
most intimate courtiers While at the
Naval college he committed some
youthful indiscretion, of which even
his fellow cadets had but vague idea,
and the king sent him into exile.
For several years he wandered
through Europe, spending months IN
Russia, the Balkans, Portugal and
Spain. Always shy and retiring. never
knowing what TO do with his great
stature and his hands, splendid lin
guist, simple in manners, he became
favorite in Russian society.
When the war broke out he wanted
to serve his country. He begged the
king to allow him to return.
yes" came the answer, but you
must serve as a simple soldier II you
come back to Italy"
He came back and was drafted into
the cavalry guides and sent to the
front When the regiment returned
for a few weeks he went with It to
the little town of voghera, its head.
quarters. He is now returning With
II to fight; but this time the regiment
fights on foot.
The duke OF Salemni performs the
same duties as his humber comrades,
and has become so popular that their
affection quite embarrasses him some
times. For instance, when he was 60
ing to visit the headquarters OF an.
other regiment in Voghera they called
out a guard of honor to receive him.
Whats the meaning OF thisl"
shouted an officer who happened in.
The count murmured that he sup
posed 1t was for him. He asked his
comrades never to do such thing
again.
While at the front he distinguished
himself by coolness In handling q
quick-hring gun. On one occasion,
when the men around him we're hard
pressed, he saved the situation by raj
! lying them,

GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

CHICAGO. December 13.-Owing to
the unfavorabIe reception given in
London and Paris to the German peace
proposal the wheat market today
showed some tendency to advance. De-
cided nervousness was evident, how
ever. and prices fuctuated rapidly. The
volume of transactions was large. but
on nothing like the big scale which
was attained the previous day. Open
ing quotations which ranged from the
same as yesterdays finish to 2A higher
with May at 1861 to 1.61 and July at
1.43 to LA. were followed by mode
rate setback, but then by rise all
around slightly above the initial level
Corn, like wheat, had an upward
slant. Commission houses were main
ly on the bull side, Influenced chiefly
by the outlook against quick truce.
After opening h to l ss higher the mar
ket reacted a little, and later scored
something of rally.
In oats. as in other grain. the bears
were at a disadvantage. Shorts pur-
chased freely on declines.
Less optimism regarding peace gave
a downturn to provisions. Besides, re-
ceipts of hogs were unusually plenti-
full. and quotations at the yards much
lower.
News other than that regarding the
chances of peace received scarcely any
|attention. Reports of possible counter
proposals from Great Britain and her
in the last half of the session. The ef-
fects. however. failed to last. Quota
tions closed firm at 1.67h to 1.67A for
May and 1.43A to 1.43N for July. with
the market as whole ranging from
the same as yesterdays finish to IN

In subsequent trading the corn mar
ket was temporarily depressed by SYM

settled at IN to III net advance.

COTTON MARKETS..
NEW YORK, December 13.-The cot
ton market was very nervous and un-
settled this morning. Cables were dis
appointing, and it looked if some of
yesterdays buyers, on the talk of peace
negotiations, were liquidating their
commitments. The opening was easy
at decline of II to "a points. After
selling at 1880. January rallied to 1887
on covering and buying by people who
had been impressed by yesterdays
peace news. but who had been waiting
for a reaction on which to enter the
market. This advance met Liverpool
selling. however, and prices soon weak
ened, with January selling off to 1915.
and May to 1881. or about 81 to 45
points net lower. Private cables re-
ported delayed continental liquidation

pool, and said it was generally thought
peace negotiations were unlikely to
succeed.
