CHICAGO, May 15.-Action which 1t is said will remove the element Of speculation from the grain market and which it is belived will forestall any action by the federal government, was taken here today at a meeting of rep resentatives of the primary grain eX- changes of the country. It was accom- plished by fixing a maximum price for wheat futures at or under which sales may be made, but no buying except to close out accounts. No trading in May options of wheat, corn or oats is per mitted except to close deals.
 The same principle was extended to July and September oats and corn in principle, but action was not taken, as it was held unnecessary at this time. The delegates simply agreed to extend the embargo if necessity arises. Grain prices were lower today.
 Joseph P. Griffin, president of the board of trade, in a statement asserted that the problem had been solved and the cure found.
 We've established maximum prices, killing the spectators, and dealt hys- teria a death blow" he said. News papers. grocers. college professors and school teachers can help most by shut ting up.
 There isn't any famine in anything we have enough wheat and can spare some to the allies. Our so-called 'eX- perts' have intimidated governments all over the world and have terrOriZed them. The most of the figures and the figurers are liars.
 | Farmers are loosening up; they've got grain. But we need better service from the railroads"

is a serious one, in the opinion of Colo mel George Pope, president of the Ma tional Association of Manufacturers, which is holding it's annual meeting here.
 Addressing the convention today Colonel Pope said labor shortage in az ricultural districts was largely re- sponsible for decrease in production. He urged manufacturers to release la borers for farm work during certain seasons.
 "The increase in wages in manufac- turing sections during the last two years" said Colonel Pope, have drawn from the agricultural districts an i'm mense number of men who would otherwise remain on the farm.
 In all manufacturing sections ad- jacent to agricultural districts, the manufacturers can do much at certain times during the summer and fall by spa1ing or detailing from their manu- featuring force men to work on the crops. This is really matter of pri- mary inheritance to every individual of the nation"

 ST. FRANCISCVILLE, H.. May 15.-Mrs. Katrina Couch, wife of Rev. James Couch, former pastor of 9 Christian church near here, has been shot in Germany as psy, according to word received tonight.
 News of her death was conveyed to MT. Couch today through the Swiss foreign cffice, after months of efforts to establish communica- ton with her.
 The probable circumstances that could have led to her death, MT. Couch said, is that military censors have intercepted one of her letters to him in which she has too freely expressed her dislike for Emperor Wilhelm.

The British Statement

LONDON, May 15.-The official re- port from British headquarters in France issued tonight says:
 ''Futher details concerning the fight ing at Bullecourt this morning show that the enemy made a deliberate at tempt by series of strong and care fully concerted attacks, powerfully supported by artillery and trench nor tar fire, to drive our troops out of Bullecourt and the section of the Hin denburg line held by us east of the vil- lage.
 Tn all, four attacks were undertaken by the enemy. The first of these was launched at a. m- upon the right flank of our position in the Hindenburg line and temporarily gained footing in our trenches. The enemy was i'm mediately and completely elected by our counter attack, leaving 250 killed and wounded in our lines. A sinulta- neous attack on the left flank of our position was dispersed by our artillery
 Later in the morning third attack was made upon the north eastern cor ner of Bullecourt. This was success fully repulsed. The fourth attack. de- livered from the south and southwest, succeeded in driving back our posts in the western portion of the village for a distance of about 100 yards. The en- efily losses Tn this SefleS Of unSucceSS- ful attempts were heavy.
 Two German airplanes were brought down in the air fighting yesterday. an- other hostile machine was driven down out of control. Two of our airplanes are missing.'
 The report of the weeks losses through submarines to be issued to- morrow will be the most favorable in several weeks. The number of ships 1 torpedoed is well below the average, While the number of ships escaping at tack is very large.
 Those in touch with the anti-sub- marine campaign also are very cheer ful over the results of actual attacks on submarines which have been pushed with the utmost vigor during the fine
 weather of the last fortnight. This has 1 been particularly favorable to airplane | activity. According to one report more submariens have been sunk in the last 1 week than in the month previous.

PATRIOTISM OF THE PRESS

Generous Support Was Given the Lib
erity Loan Campaign Reviewed
Evidence of Patriotism of Newspa-
per Men of America
The Liberty Loan campaign was
essentially one of education, and
without the generous and patriotic
support Of the press of
the Nation. the HOPE of
those in charge that it would be a
popular loan would not have been
realized. The untiring efforts of the
newspapers throughout the campaign
were a constant inspiration to the
various other groups of workers. At
time when the news space was at
premium the Liberty Loan was
featured at length.
Newspapers and magazines, in
their news, editorial, and advertising
columns, fought for the success of
the loan every step Of the way. The
foreign-Ianguage press, iH SO Ian
guages, gave daily proof Of the un.
doubted loyalty Of peoples Of foreign
birth.
