Chicago. Aug. 20.-The Herald says
There has been liquidation in coarse grains
and scattered holdings have, been largely
reduced. Bears are more aggressive and
are pressing their opportunities more
strongly than at any time in months. They
regard the rallies as places to sell. Some
conservative operators regard the technical
situation as improved by the liquidation
and say the interest is somewhat extended
but the general impression of the trade
is that the buying power has been some
wea kened that 1t will be hard to sustain
rallies for the present
A few of the sharp traders are not as
bearish on oats they are on corn owing
TO the break. Prices are down to within
Tc of last years for September. The point
made by the bears was the cash premium
having dropped 6 cents from the high
point of the week and with the movement
increasing. they expect cash oats to sell
at September prices within a day or tive.

AGAINST TAMMANY
Failing To Split 'NIitcheII's Following
His Reelection Is Apparent.

Tammany against the field in the city
election here this fall and the betting
is that Mayor Mitchell, with the fusion
support, will be reelected over John
c. Hylan, the Tammany choice. Hylan
is county judge who has not fig
ured largely in politics heretofore.
The last hope of splitting the anti
Tammany strength has failed when
James c. Cropsey of Brooklyn, a SUI
preme court justice announced he
would not make the race against
Mitchell. Cropsey has a strong fol-
lowing and had he run, the fusion
forces offered Tammany more than
an even chance.

JAPAN TO BUILD MUNITIONS

Plan Contemplated Long Before the

Answer to Queries.

Toxic, June 21.-In the supplement
tary budget estimate which is to be
introduced in the coming special ses-
sion of the Diet, is an item of 3,0N0,-
600 yen or $1,500,000 as expenditure
for the stablishment of an army
arsenal in Korea This is a new an
dertaking necessitated by the crea-
tion of two army divisions in Korea,
which were authorized in 1915.
In case of emergency in the future,
the Korean divisions and the garri
sons in Manchuria will be enabled to
have quick supply of guns and mu-
nitions and other ordnance without re-
lying upon supplies from Japan.
The plan was long contemplated by
the army authorities and the lessons
furnished by the European war have
necessitated its speedy execution.
Credits will also be asked for the
construction of fortresses in Korea.

have been granted amnesty after

The success and rapdity with which

Sir Eric Geddes, the deputy director

European War, June 21.-The
weight of scores of German battal-
ions rushed from the eastern front
was felt by the Allies todaN the En-
.ente getting the worst Of the fight
ing at two popints along the line. 1t
IS believed that more than half a mil

reinforce their hard pressed Teutonic
brethren.
Berlin claims tn etaking of French
ositions along 1900 yards of the Aisne
front and the repulse of British and
Trench advances along many othe,
portions of the west front.
Heavy fighting is in progress along
the Aisne front, Paris official dis
patches say. The Germans, heavily
reinforced, attacked strongly, forcing
the defenders back temporarily. Coun-
ter attacks by the French soon drove
the Germans back again, save for the
retention of fire line trenches by the
Germans at two points aggregating
700 yards. Later a courter attack re-
took portion Of this ground.

PATRIOTISM is SHOWN

Being among the first city boards
IN the county to buy Liberty Bonds
in a generous amount, the city trus-
tees last night voted unanimously to
donate $3.50 to the Red Cross. This
morning Mayor Egerer abstracted this
sum in gold from local bank which
IS the custodian of the A;ty's general
fund and carried it to Red Cross head
quarters.
There was discussion only as to the
amount of the subscription when the
matter was first broachcd by the trus-
tees. After this amount had been
decided upon, Trustee Watkins moved
that $3.50 be subscribed from the gen
cral fund. This motion was passed
unanimously and without further COM
nent.
When Mayor Egerer appeared at
Red Cross headquarters this morning
with the gold, he was told that the
2ity could take advantage of the par
tial payment plan-a fourth of the
subscription July I, AID fourth on
the first day Of each OF the three
following months-but the official
stated that the city desired to allow
the Red Cross to have the use of
the entire amount at once.

RUSH NEAR OGILBY HIDING
PLACE OF WHISKY.

A campaign which has for it's pur-
pose the cleaning out of the illiicF
quor sellers and caterers to the
hooze-thirsty has, been begun by the
forces of Sheriff Sheriff Charles M.
Applestill.
Deputies are working in every cor
ner of the Valley, searching out the
vloiators of the county liquor ordi-
RANGES. July /, it is expected, the
County Of Imperial will not deserve
The appelation of being "pen foi
blind pigs"
Yesterday afternoon the sheriff
and his men started at both ends Of
CT the county. He and his men made
an end to "Boozetown," collection
ca shacks inhabited by Italians just
cast of Calexico.
1t has been common knowledge that
much of the illicit booze coming into
Calexico originated from "Boozetown,'
and the officials, despairing of get
ting positive evidence against the
evil, determined to make an end to
the entire hamlet The inhabitants,
chiefly Italians, living in hastily-erect-
ed shacks, were run out, and the
shacks demolished Several quarts Of
whisky were confiscated.
Twenty cases of guadily-labeled
quart bottles of whisky were found
in the brush near Ogilby, a station on
the Southern Pacific twenty miles
west of Yuma, yesterday by deputy
sheriffs, and brought to this city.
1t is believed that in this case the
hootleggers followed their usual plan
cf secreting the booze until a favor
able opportunity came to smuggle it
ever the line into Arizona. These 240
quarts of whisky will go toward
swelling the sheriff's store of illicit
liquors in the basement Of the county
Jail. Z
