PREPARE YOUNG MEN
FOR MILITARY SERVICE

TO prepare young men to serve as
assistants in the Office of judge advo-
cate generals, a special course in the
college of law at the Univerity of
Tennessee is contemplated by Judge
]. r. Neal. Judge Meals theory is
that all young men should not rush
TO the recruiting office and enlist as
private, but that those who have had
some special training should offer
to serve Uncle Sam along that line
with which they are familiar.

and reserve s9.256.sS0.
Changes in the bank statement were
50 slight as to have no influence and
particularly so as money is not factor
IN the market now. Stocks were weak
today first because OF the sentimental
reaction that Is beginning In connection
with the universal military service law
and second, because of rumors Of bad
news coming from Russia by way OF
Washington.
Wheat at t27s 3-4 a bushel for the May
option today marked an advance of IL IA
cents overnight and another new high
price for all time. The break In wheat
came after the stock market close.
There Is a growing demand for action
at washington regarding food prices.
Wall street fears that the continued rise
IN the price Of food added TO compun
sorry military service may cause serious
trouble.
Another announcement pretending to
be on oficial authority was made today
to the effect that the United States Gov
ernment IS to make no effort to get lower
prices for the allies II this be true,
IL will means increased earnings for all
the copper and steel companies. In the
early trading copper responded to this
influence with such machine-like IRE
cision as to make the announcement ap-
pear to be part Of the publicity work OF
some copper company Utah copper rose
! a point on the report.
Another market movement that at
tracted attention out Of proportion to its
Importance from a financial standpoint
was a new high record for the move
ment IN submarine boat. Wall street
has heard so much OF the German sub
marines that II is wondering what the
English submarines are doing. II Eng
Rand loses this war the loss may be
fairly placed on It's policy in regard to

York market situation was received last
yesterday afternoon by W. B. Hibbs &
Co. from a New York correspondent:
The total transactions in stocks to-
day were only 265.00o shares. against 34S,
600 yesterday and nearly 10000 on Thurs
day.
This contraction in the volume OF busi-
ness from the bullish activity of Thurs
day and the fairly well sustained mar
ket yesterday reflected the more conser-
vatfve views now being held by most
traders against the too optimistic opin-
icns which developed from Thursdays 8
rise.
From the large quantities OF borrowed
stocks returned to the lenders during
the last two days, It Is apparent that
most Of the weeks sharp advances In the
