Corn-The market yesterday showed
n strong undertone. and prices soId
within 2Ssc of the high point OF the
season for the December position IN
Chicago. There was no fault to be
found with the weather, but great
many complaints are now coming IN 10
the effect that the damage by the irosts
of two weeks ago IS proving greater
than had been previously supposed.
This is having it's effect on the market
and those who have recently been
heavy sellers on the big crop ideas
have shown an inclination 10 cover
their short contracts, and offers have
fallen off materially. The talk OF the
possibility of a change in the maximum
price is also having a strong bulhsh
influence on sentiment, and, altogether.
the trade has become more aggressive
on the bull side.
At the close of the market yesterday
some authorities were of the opinion
that the advance had gone far enough
for the moment, but while there was
considerable profit taking prices re-
ced,d only x to &c from the top and
closing quotations were l TO lac net
higher. The labor troubles in Argen-
tina had more or less influence on SEN
timent. Many in the trade are looking
forward TO an active cash demand Tor

at primary points, and stocks are de-
cyeasing. Bradstreet's visible. however,

Wheat.-The movement Of wheat at
Northwestern points continues to IN,
crease in volume. Minneapolis and

compared with 563 week ago and 1913
last year. Total interior receipts were

by the trade as an encouraging feature,

posed OF all charges of plots or con-
spiracy of alien enemies Saturday in
connection with the Hastings mine dis
aster. He had a full report of the
casualties before him and said:

Americans. negroes. 1 Pole. SO
Greeks, 33 Austrians and is italians.
Does it seem reasonable that 33 Aus
trians might have blown themselves
into eternity to carry out plot
against is Italians or 12 Americans?
l think not, and my opinion is that
this disaster is just one of the in
evitable happenings of those who
mine the coal of the world.
The mine was carefully guarded
there is not an indication of any foul
play. and the inspection was rigid
But these mine accidents will happen

Washington, May 3.-"We might as
well wake up to the fact that the stu
alton is serious"
Thus spoke Secretary of State
Lansing in the course of discussion
of the plight of the allies whose Sc
curity is menaced at sea by German
submarines and on land by shortage of
fighting men
Secretary Lane told the governors
comforting here with the Council of
National Defense on the part state
governments will take in the war, that
the federal government had heard
100000 tons of shipping had been sunk
in the last week by German subma-
rines.
The destruction, Secretary Lane
said, was not only threatening the ex-
istence of England and France but
was alarming the United States.
Study of inventions to combat the
submarine menace is being diligently
pursued in the Interior Department. he
said. The United States must build
ships as rapidly as possible, he told
the delegates.
''If we don't fight the war on the
other side" he added, I'VE shall have
to fight 1t on this side of the Atlantic"
Secretary Lane declared he believed
the war would last several years and
that every resource of the country
must be brought into play to bring 1t
to successful conclusion
"ManV naraonG thnnpbf cold
secretary, that all we had to do was
to issue bonds, and that Germany
would bow her head in submission.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. We do not know when this war
will end. 1t may not be a one-year war.
Personally believe It will last sew
eral years. Herbert C. Hoover has in
formed this government that Germany
has food enough to last two years, per-
haps longer.
Germany has put up the greatest
fight of history and she has the ad-
vantage of now fighting defensive
warfare. Don't go back home and in
spire your people with the thought
that immediate action can bring this
war to an immediate end You people
must look to this years crop and next
years crop, and the next after that.
I'VE can't afford to fail in this war.
Every man in this country is involved
in this work and every man in this
country is a soldier"
Secretary of War Baker told repre-
sentatives of the state councils that
state and federal governments must
work in the closest cooperation in the
nations history If the nation is to be
successful in the greatest of all wars.
The French commissioners were
given assurance that the American
government is willing to send troops
to France-one of the urgent recon-
mendations they brought to this coun-
try-when the allies believe they can
afford to spare the necessary ships
for transporting an army and its
equipment across the Atlantic.
