whom the President has expressed his con-
fidSnce by appointment to a local board.
"And 1t would be difficult TO overesti-
mate the value to the nation of the thing
you are here called upon to do nor the
Importance that II be done within the limit
herein Indicated"
The message emphasized that the ma
tion must walt upon the sowest board 4"
In spite of the call for haste officials be-
lieve that few days may be lost in filling
vacancies caused by designations from the
boards. Any disposition to shirk the duties
without a valid excuse for resignation will
not be tolerated.
Department officials today pointed out
that under the law such members can be
forced to serve. Evasions constitute n pun
ishable misdemeanor. SO far the number
of designations Is far from alarming.
Although IT is still held in secrecy, the
method of drawing key" numbers Of the
draft is virtually complete today In few
days It will be explained in another set Of

CHICAGO, July 8.
An unusually large business was done
In corn today and prices moved into new
high ground. Shorts were urgent takers and
there also were buying orders, largely for
September, from the seaboard. 1t was be-
lieved that this demand was both specula-
tive and for export. July got to within
2Bc Of the maximum price, but failed to
bring about much selling, as contract stocks
are only 1000 bushels against l360,0
bushels last year. Offerings from the coun-
try were small.
The low price on that month was s. 60
at the opening, from which it moved up to
S162A, closing at s1.62% q 1923, against
S1.59%, Mondays last price; September,
after selling at sl.49&, rose to Sl.bb&,
closing at Sl5IA Q1.54&, compared with
$3.50 Mondays last price, and December,
after touching SlO94 at the start adj
vanced to S1157s, ending at Sl.15B 41l5S,
against $1.1O9s at the end Monday.
Wheat was dull. but ranged higher. The
contract stock here is only 10000 bushels,
against 4,769,Q00 bushels last year. The
market at Liverpool was easy. Shipments
from Argentina for the week were estimated
at $4,000 bushels, against 100000 BUSH
els last year.
The high on July wheat was S2.1O and
the close S2.00, or Sc above Mondays final
quotation the best on September was Sl9O,
the low $l.S4 and the close sissy against
$lS49s at the end Monday.
Dealings In oats were heavy and the
market was 1rmer. Offerings Of July were
light and not large for other months Spot
fully kept pace with futures and was in
excellent request. The market at Liverpool
was easy Shipments from Argentina for
the week were estimated at 100000 BUSH
els.
The Price Current puts the yield of win
ter at 400 100000 bushels and of spring at
275 900, 900 bushels, against a total produc-
tion in 1916 Of 64O,OOO,000 bushels. The crop
Is poor In northern Minnesota, but fair to
excellent in the southern part OF that state.

HOUWeg VIII Address
the ReiChstdg Today
Continued from Pare One

Oonunued from Page One
Chancellor for any act Of his Power Of
appointment OF the Chancellor and of his
dismissal was retained, as always, by the
Kaiser
The committee, however. did recommend
complete redlstricting and reapportlon-
ment plan for representation in the Reichs-
tag. Exactly how this is to be achieved
Is to be decided at meetings OF the COM
mittee, which are to be held this month.
Germany's present system Of representa-
ton In the Reichstag Is that which was
devised in 1871. 1t does not permit Of
minority representation. The constitution
committee has announced II will change
this scheme on the basis Of equal suffrage
for all men.
Prussia holds the balance of power in
Germany and neither the Reichstag nor the
constitution committee can make reforms
there without action by the prusslan Diet.
Today's meeting of the Rechstag was for
scheduled session OF two weeks The
original plan was for sitting OF only
three or four days, but Il was believed that
this would be prolonged.
In connection with the talk Of peace II
was reported from Berlin that the Kaiser
Is going to Vienna at the end OF the week
and that matters of urgent Importance
will be discussed in the Austrian capital.
BERLIN, July 8.
Coincident with the reconvening of the
Rkichstag today score Of the so-called
German intellectuals united In n formal
demand on the Government for immediate
parliamentary and electoral reforms, in
Guiding equal. direct and secret suffrage.
What made the manifesto Of particular
significance in tho view Of reformers here
was that among the signers were such
men "a Delbrueck, Won Harnack, Meinecke,
Emil Fischer, Troeltsch and others of the
purely intellectual" type who have here
tofore opposed the characterization plans
announced by the radicals.
