CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Prices Of Wheat Tend Upward Owing I.
NArger Shipments.

Chicago Jan. Observation-Disclosures that
decreases In the United States visible supply
gave q lift to the price of wheat today, the
market afterward underwent sag, owing
TO absence OF any important new export
buying and because OF welcome snow In the
southwest.
Quotations closed heavy, 1hc net lower to
NC advance, with May at s1.s4n @1s4%
and July at $l.s4h. Corn finished unchanged
to a shade higher. oats up Nc to Y % Nc and
provisions varying from TIC decline to
rise OF &C.
At first the bulls found q good deal OF en-
couragomcnt In the announcement by a lead
ing authority that the total amount of
wheat available for export from the United
States between now and July 1 had been
reduced to 100000 bushels, whereas tiie
probable clcarances for Europe this week
from Galveston and New Orleans alone were
put at $4,000 bushels.
II was said also that vessel tonnage at tho
Guit ports was becoming more abundant. As
the day wore on, however, without any evil
dence of renewal of big purchases for
Europe, the early gains were for the most
part displaced by losses. though not OF a
radical character.
Improvement in crop prospects southwest
as result Of snowfalls that guaranteed
both necessary moisture and protection from
cold received much notice from wheat
traders during the last half of the session.
Attention also was given to statements that
the greater portion Of what wheat had
been purchased for Europe since SATURDAY
morning was Canadian.
Corn was Arm throushout the day. largely
as result OF good demand from the sea-
board and owing to scarcity of rural Of
ferings. There also were further crop dam
age reports from Argentina. Oats hardened
with corn. Trade, however. was light.
Provisions averaged lower, Influenced nv n
falling of In exports as compared with last
year, Besides, there were good sized d..
iiveries OF lard and ribs on January con-
tracts.

.REEDUCAT|0N Of
WOUNDED SOLDIERS
STUDIED BY BOARD
Investigation Of Specialists to
Find Best Methods to Help
CippIed Men Become Eco
nomicaIIy Efficient,

SPECIAL coRaGsPoNpENcE 70 MORNING JOURNAL
Washington, Dec. l4.-Co-operating
with other departments Of the gov
eminent, the federal government, the
federal board for vocational education
today announced that il is making q
nationwide investigation into the
problem of the vocational re-educa-
ton of wounded American soldiers
and sailors returning from the war
Every European nation has taken
measures to give special Industrial or
trade training to the thousands of
handicapped men discharged from
active service, and agents of, the
board have collected reports Of the
European experience, as partial ba-
sis for development of similar work
In this country.
This investigation is being made
under the section of the law impos-
ing studies and reports for the pur-
pose of aiding the states in the estab-
lishment of vocational schools and
classes. The object of the investiga-
ton Is to develop, in cooperation
with other government agencies, a
system of re-education so as to ena-
Bile war cripples to resume useful in
dustrial employment as far as possi-
BILE.
The board has secured the services
of expert Investigators and a special
ist in occupational therapy. 1t is
planned to hold a series of confer
ences in the near future with repre-
sentatives of organizations desiring to
cooperate with the federal govern
ment in working out the problem.
I'VE are studying the probable
number Of disabled soldiers and
Sailors basing our estimate on the
best data available" declared Direc-
tor Prosser. I'VE are also studying
the economic issue involved and are
trying to ascertain the best method
OF financing and administering the
work of re-education. Our investiga-
ton includes a study of the kinds Of
workshops necessary to promote the
peculiar kind of vocational education
needed by men handicapped as the
result of the war. Some idea of the
size of the problem ahead of us may
be gained from the fact that Canada
has created a commission known as
the military hospitals commission
command, which, with the exception
OF the medical service, has entire
charge of the men returning over seas
and is responsible for their re-educa-
tion and placement upon arrival jim
Canada"
T. b. Kidner secretary of the Ca
madam commission and DIR. James
w. Robertson of ottawa, are in con-
sultation with the office of the federal
beard.

San Francisco, Calf. Dec. 14.-The
.desolate, uninhabitated island of So
corro, off the coast of Lower Cali
fornia, was to have keen the cache
for a vast supply of munitions of war
destined for place which the United
States government Is trying TO prove
was India, according to testimony ad-
duced here today in the trial of a
humber Of Hindus and others for an
alleged attempt to overthrow British
rule in that country.
Har Charan Das, government wit
ness, testified that in the summer of
1915 the steamer Maverick, with a
crew composed mainly of Hindus.
sailed from the port of San Diego,
Calf, for that lonely island in order
to get munitions there for the mystic
rious trip. While awaiting the
schooner that was to bring several
million rounds of ammunition and
thousands of rifles and carbines, the
Maverick was searched three times
by American and British warships,
Das testified. After months wait
for the schooner it was proposed to
maroon Das and two yother Hindus
on the island while the Maverick
went in search of the munition ship.
An adjournment of the court ended
his testimony at this point.
John B. Starr-Hunt and Joseph
Bley two white defendants. were
pointed out by Das as the men who
directed the voyage of the Maverick.
He accused Starr-H of transports
ing a party of Hindus and others to
San Pedro to ship on the Maverick
and Bley of attending to the depar.
..ture of the ship from that port.
The trial will be resumed next
Tuesday.
