4 GENERAL SURVEY OF
THE WAR
EATEEDST,

Dispatches from Tiflis, Trans-Cau-
casia, say the Turks are moving stores
from Trobizond. preparatory to evacu-
Etion before the Russians. Last des-
patches indicate that no very consid-
cradle number of troops were captur.
ed when the Russians captured Ezer
rum. The Russian advance in this
region temporarily has been halted.
Austrian troops are reported to be
on three sides of Durazzo, Albania.
Heavy movements of troops toward
the west front by Germans in Bel
GUM are reported from Amsterdam.
Paris says that German attacks in the
Artois region have been repulsed.

THURSDAY,

The German drive for possession OF
Yerdun continues. Berlin Officially
announces the capture of the villages
of Brabant, Haumcnt and Samogneux
and the entire district north and north
east of Beaumont, near Verdun, and
says a French advance post south oil
Metz has been taken. Paris admits
German gains, but asserts that Beau
mont and Samogneux remain in the
French possession.
Party lines are said to have beer
wiped out in the Russian Duma, and
all factions are said to be united for
the prosecution of the war. Petrograd
reports violent artillery operations
near Dvinsk and Riga. Berlin All
nounced the repulse Of a Russian at
tack near Tarnopol, Galicia.
A German prize crew on the British
ship NestbuF4 landed 206 prisoners
taken from Allied merchant SHIPS
which have been sunk supposedly by
the commerce raider Moewe, at Tene
rife. Afterward the Germans sank
the Westburn outside the ha'bor.
Thirty-six German and Austrian
ships in Lisbon f?arboF were seized by
orders of a Portuguese naval com
mauder, and the Portuguese flag was
syn up en- them.

Asin the DAYS of Christ, blind.

As in the days of Christ, blind
ness is still one of the commonest
Affections in the East. In China it
has been estimated that one person
in every eight is blind. Poorly
ventilated, smoky rooms, unhygi-
enic conditions and dense ignorance
sanitary laws are probably the
chief causes. Naturally the medi-
cal missionary concerns himself
largely with the relief of blindness
Just as Jesus did while on earth /,
and finds in this form of ministry
an easy approach to the hearts of
the people.

WEDNESDAY.

Future diplomatic relations between
this country and Germany are said
to depend upon Germany's Willingness
to grant the American demands in the
submarine warfare controversy, and
upon the willingness of this govern
ment to discuss defensive armamen:
of ships.
The crown princes troops have
begun fierce attacks near Verdun, in
the Woevre district, and in Alsace
and, according to Berlin dispatches
have made gains In each field of &C
ton. 1t is asserted that the French
line on the heights Of the Meuse have
been driven back nearly mile.
Italian forces have taken several
towns within fifteen miles Of Trent.
Russian troops are trying to cut off
Turks retreating from Erzerum, in

Trebizond, on the Black sea, by the
Turks, is said to have begun.

Most eye troubles are easily help
ed. And yet many folks hesitate
10 wear glasses for looks sake.
They suffer headaches from eye
strain; they draw wrinkles into
their foreheads years before they
should come; they lose the happy
expression on the face that perfect
vision gives.
OF course it is necessary to have
glasses perfectly fitted;
Our opticians have the most ex-
pert skill; they have the facilities
for discovering the needs of eyes.
If they find that you need an ocu-
lists help they will tell you so. If
glasses only are required, we guar,

perfect help obtainable at the most
reasonable costs.

the Kearney institution. Mr.. Clark is
interested in what becomes of "his
boys" after they ser c their time in
the institution, and as Omaha fur
nishes greater number than any one
city, he always has busy time re-
newing old acquaintance when he

GRAIN AND PRODUCE
Cash Wheat is Strong and

CORN IN EXCELLENT SHAPE


Omaha. December %. 1913.
Cash wheat continued strong today. with
very good cash demand, and an advances
Of u to . cents on tho different grades
Of this cereal.
The No. Q hard winted advanced only a
cent, while the No. hard sold on com
paratiyely better basis. the No grade
selling, In some instances, at 3-cent ad-
vance. There was q very good demand for
durum and spring wheat but these varie-
ties did not sell at the usual premium over

to $1-77; No. hard sold from S1.75 to
S176. and the No. grade ranged In price
from $i.e5 to S173.
The corn market was excellent and as
the receipts Of this cereal were very light
most Of the offerings were disposed Of at
prices ruling from v cent higher to y
cent lower. Yellow corn continued TO
command a premium. but white corn sold on
much better basis in comparison with
yellow corn than II did yesterday, No.
yellow being quoted at So to 81 cents and
No. white at about the same price.
The better grades of mixed corn sold
about the sane as yesterday and NO.
mixed sold trine under yesterdays market.
There was not much trading In cash
oats and this market was quoted unchanged.
although a few Of today's sales were made
a ia slight decline.
Receipts, however, were extremely light
and the demand was sufficiently active to
take care of the offerings.
Rye was slow and barley was very active.

UNION PACIFIC Is
OPEN IN WYOMING
Blockade Which Tied Up Traf-
fic for Sixteen Hours is
Cleared Up.
SNOW FOUR FEET DEEP

After being completely tied up for
sixteen hours, Union Pacific trains
have begun to move again, and it is
expected that passenger traffic along
this line will be returned to normal
before many more hours.
For sixteen hours not train
moved on the Union Pacific between
Laramie and Rawlings, in Wyoming.
A snow blockade of thirty miles pre-
vented the turning OF wheel. Four
feet of snow covered the track for
this distance and, with fierce wind
blowing the snow so that person
could not see his hand extended out
in front of him, it was found impossi-
Bile to clear away the blockade until
the storm abated sufficiently for the
crews to go to work. y.
Over twenty trains were tied up by
the blockade. Many of these trains
were annulled and resumed their
journey as sections of other trains.
Several trains coming into Omaha
from the west are running in four
and five sections.
The blockade has been cleared
away and as soon as the annullcd
trains reach their destinations it is
believed the traffic will be quickly re-
stored to normal.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Sells on, Rallies and Then Makes
Another Decline.

Chicago, Dec. 2s.--Dcprcssion which was
manifest In the wheat market nearly all
the time today, seemed to be chiefly due
to the heaviness Of New York stock quota
tons, The close was unsettled, Nc to 2Nc
net lower, with May at $1-72x to s1.7s.
and July at 31ssK to sl3e. Corn lost NC
to lie, fand oats n shade to NC. Provisions
finished unchanged to aSc down.
sympathy with the break In stocks de-
veloped as soon as wheat trading began and
was later offset only to limited extent
by indications that liberal purchases OF
wheat were being made for the entente
allies. In this connection, bears showed a
disposition to emphasize assertions that esti-
mates of the amount Of export business had
been overdrawn. and to interpret the Wall
Street breaks rs largely owing to increased
changes Of . peace conference. On the
other hand. gossip was current that en-
bargoes on rails shipments to the seaboard
soon would be relieved. especially at Bafti-
morc on account of the greater number of
vessels now there and arriving. Bulls de-
rived some comfort also from word that
actions OF wheat In country elevators north

total
Rallies from the early sctbacks in the
wheat market wore strongest within a half
hour Of the end Of the season. but at no
time carried the price range as q whole
above yesterdays closing level Realizing
sales by holders developed on all hard spots
In the market. and were notably supple
mented BY pressure from speculative shorts
In tho final transactions of tho day.
Corn sagged with wheat Lightness Of
receipts failed to act n y counterbalance
except temporarily and In a relatively slight
degree, Oats were stesdied somewhat by
purchases made against sales on corn There
also were signs OF an Increasing demand
from the seaboard.
Liauidatlng sales weakened provisions,
Notwithstanding that hog quotations were
higher. Rather free unloading of lard was
said to have been done by houses with
eastern connections.

shccp--Another fairly liberal sheen and
lamb run put In It's appearance today. Early
estimates placed the supply at forty-four
loads. or io.boo mead. but Judging by the
amount OF stun reported back at II o'clock
these figures will probably be ovcrrun. So
far this week total offerings are 1851
head, as compared with 3e,26t last week,
5l.tIe two weeks ago and si,ts4 year

The early rounds Of tho lamb market
lacked the life shown on previous days of
the week. Packers were all looking around,
but were talking generally easier prices.
while sellers thought that with small runs
and stronger prices everywhere else. they
were entitled to some advance here What
little stun sold early looked about steady.
One bunch Of lambs was sold Is high as

Omaha to Benefit by the
New Homestead Law

That Omaha will benefit greatly by
the new homestead law which will
permit homesteader to take a maxi
mum of $40 acres of land instead of
merely 500 acres, is the belief of S.
B. Howard, colonization agent for the
Burlington. Mr.. Howard declares
stock farmers will homestead 640-acre
tracts while they would not touch
320-acre tracts, and that as there are
a number of such tracts in Montana
and Wyoming, Omaha will be the re-
ceiving point for the stock when it is
shipped to market.
