due to an unusual whirl of speculative
stop loss orders to sell. The close was

gained lie to 114c net; oats h@B TO
5sc, and provisions &c to 22c.
Emphasis to the foreign demand Tor
wheat va. given by an opinion from
leading authority that the worlds i'm
port requirements this season would be
ID, 100000 bushels In excess OF the to-
tai as figured two weeks ago. Pre-
dictions were also current that ship
ments from Argentina and Australia
would remain light. There were fore:
casts, too, OF continued smallness OF
domestic arrivals in the Northwest and
of green bug danger in Oklahoma, Kan
sas and Missouri.
Corn developed strength owing to
seaboard hints that export transactions
were under way. A bulge OF prices at
Liverpool and a reduction OF estimates
of the Argentine exportable surplus
tended to confirm the prevailing gos-
SIP. Oats hardened with corn. Toward
the end OF the day, houses with sea
board connections were active buyers.

PRINCE OSCAR OF heroism.
In proportionately small space the
French threw in single day 100000
grenades! We found French order
OF battle, wherein the writer allowed
Is grenades for each meter OF trench
at the place OF attack! And those
we're not divided throughout the
whole day, but for perhaps one or TWO
hours!
The speed OF firing was like that OF
machine gun, excepting that these
were not infantry shots. but grenades
of every calibre. Drum fire" We
called this kind OF artillery fire, and
its results were fearful. The wire en-
tanRlements were totally destroyed, as
II wiped out, the trenches were turned
into fiat troughs, the shelters were
broken to. pieces; no method OF tortiil-
cation was able to, hold out even tor
short time against such fire.
One thing only did hold out: Ger.
man discipline, German faith, Ger
man. Courage! Whenever such drum
FIRE began. there rose from our mounds
a gigantic wall OF smoke. chalk, dust
and fragments OF shell, which cut on
the outer world. Seen from the rear
It was a picture to shudder at.
In addition there was an internit-
tent rolling, laundering, crashing,
which even miles away sounded like
A heavy thunderstorm. It seemed i'm.
nossible that any living thing could
endure in that hell. Andltt the hrlng
stopped suddenly or seemed to hest
tate and a French infantry attacked
Followed, then out Of the hollows, from
lhalf-destroyed shelters, from torn
sacks Of sand, our brave musketeeEs,
grenadiers, or fusfilers rose, txed
their weapons, wiped sthe dust from
their eyes, and rePalsn the attack.
And not only once, But dozens OF Times
did they do this!
But IL 1t CHANGED that one OF our
trenches under fire was .emptied in OF.
der to diminish our losses, sometimes
a French infantry attack under pro
lection of the artillery carried the
en1pty trench, especially since there
was no longer any hindrance. Ihen
straichtway our brave men in held-
gray leaped out OF the nearest trench
es with bayonets and hand grenades
fyed for attack, and nearly always
threw out the enemy with heavy loss
es or killed them.
But IL this attack was for some rea'
son postponed for. one or two hours
the result was not SO sure, and usuat

II is probably, no exaggerahon to
say that the losses OF an attacking
French regiment are 4osto 90 per
cent: prisoners have verified these es-
Inmates. Therefore the Fernch sell
fomeu the same regiment twice for
making an attack.
In thts matter the mental effect
produced on them by their being
forced to 60 over the dead bodies OF
their comrades may have played .
considerable role.
An imprisoned French officer told
us that the effects of our artillery on
the separated divisions had been
frightful. He added:
F"These attacks cause insane slaugh-
ter; It Is not so much an attack as
Ia dance over cemeteries; but we VIII
keep on doing it until the Fernch com:
manders see the purposelessness OF
such a thing or until we win through;
And later the commanders, through
force OF experience were brought to
this view!
At the beginning of the time we are
considering here the French attacks
were directed against US mostly at
Perthes Cmiddle and lift wing OF the
seventh army corpsl Then the
French turned somewhat towards the
outermost left wing Of the seventh
and the right wing of the eighth re-
serve CORDS and at length the French
attacks deteriorated into q wild de-
spairlng conflict around the famous
Hill 1876.
At first the ruling thought appar-
emily was to capture the height LOT

forded, Then, however, command
seemed to come to take the height no

And It did cost them something TOT
