Wheat There was less pressure of
liquidation in the wheat market yes
tcrday and shorts were moro inclined
TO recover As a result values were
distinctly strong and closing quotations
in Chicago were II cents net higher.
The frmer feeling was due largely to
pronounced strength in the Mime
apolis market The May position there
sold up to $3.50, an advance of 40
cents from the previous close, and
equal to the previous high record.
Cash wheat in the Northwest was also
strong and quotations for the leading
grades advanced 2Oia to 25le cents.
The situation at large was still much
disturbed, and so far no definite plan
has been hit upon for solving the
complicated position. Leading grain
men are in consultation with Federal
authorities in Washington, however,
and it is believed that such a plan is
approaching completion. According to
reports received it is thought that
the course of argument is drifting to-
ward some arrangements (Which will
provide for an equitable distribution
of the American crop. Home supplies
will doubtless be first provided for and
exports will be arranged for as large
an amount Of wheat as can be possibly
spared for the Allies, with more or
less provision for the neutral coun-
tries.
In the meantime old contracts are
being gradually cvened up, but the
trade sees little probability of unre-
stricted trading until operations in the
form of hedges against new crop wheat
become of materially larger volume.
The weather was again favorable. al

for Approval
(Rv Jesse S. CottrelD

Washington, June 12-Accompanied
by Christie Bennett. Gov. Richard /
Manning held long conference at
the War Department today with Gen
Crowder, provost marshal. as to nam
ing the exemption boards for South
Carolina. Nothing was given out at
the department as to the conference
but it is learned on good authority by
The American Press correspondent
that Governor Manning was told that
applications for membership on the
county boards would be made to him
and that he would forward such to
the War Department for final action
uy the president later.
No Politics
Further than this the entire situa-
tion in South Carolina as 10 political
factions was gone over and the SOW
ernor stated that he would see tnat all
factions were represented in so far
as his official acts we're concerned.
Close Watch
Much interest is felt here tonight
in South Carolina congressional cir
cIes as to the outcome of the visit OF
the governor and the personel Of the
appointees, fer the staff will be close
ly scrutinized by the War Depart
ment, as it is determined that the
boards in South Carolina shall be non
partisan and representative OF all fac
tons. Otherwise, after the magnifi.
cent registration in the state, dis.
cord and dissatisfaction would ensue
The War Department is anxious thai

ironed out and wants all parties te
have representation.

FREE SPEECH.

Among the things for which Amer
ica stands is the principle of civil ana
religious liberty. Nothing can be
more un-American than to deny to a
man the right to do his own thinking
and to utter his own conviction ~hen
that conviction is born out OF the
deepest reverence he has for truth
and duty.
We find it difficult to repress our
indignation at the absurd charges
brought against citizens Of the Unit
ed States, who differing. from the
majority of their fellows on the ques-
ton of war or peace, are denounced
as traitors to their country, burnt
in effigy and virtually ostracized.
We can understand a church so
largely con;inced that war is the
only resort left the nation that 1t
might desire the resignation of min
lister who conscientiously believed ne
could not be true to the teaching OF
Christianity and uphold war. We can
not conceive of church accepting
SUCH d ia aAAy SeAANA
than that of good will and re-
gret.
We can conceive OF neighbors diff
ering widely upon this same question
of war or peace, but to charge a man
with being false to his flag because
he honestly believes he has no moral
right to shoulder gun and go forth
to kill someone under that flag, is
to show how little one understands
the significance and meaning of Amer
lean history.
Personally We believe there is moth
ing left for us as a nation to do but
TO protect ourselves against the
forces that have declared war upon
the sacred liberties of mankind, ana
would supplant democracy by auto
cracy For all that, we reverence the
sincere conviction of the man who diff
fers from us. We hold his right as
divine as ours.-Dumb Animal.

that the action of the Reform faction
of the Democratic party OF South
Carolina in placing directly before Of
ficials of the War Department in

state with regard to partisan discrim-
nations in this war emergency against

opportunity to inspect the list OF

regard thereto.
When former Governor Blease

Mr.. Christie Benet were in Washington

to their visit, he wired Congressman
Dominick. in Washington, as follows:
"Disnatch from Cottrell states Man

emytion boards. Is it necessary for

Congressman Dominick tonight
wired the follwoing reply to Mr.
Blease:
"sSam Nichols and I have just had
conference with General Crowder. He
states that general plans for appoint,
ment of exemption boards throughout
the country will be appointed upon
recommendation of the respective gov
ernors. That in states where com
plants and protests have been filed as
to appointments of these boards the
boards recommended will not be ap-
pointed until opportunity is allowed
for protest to be filed. In the case
of South Carolina he tells me that

SWEDISH MINISTER
 DECLINED TO COMMENT
On Disclosure of Swedish Legation in
 Mexico.

! Tdgartown Mass, Sept 14.-W. A. F. ! Ekengren, the Swedish minister to the United States, declined to comment today on the disclosure by the state department that the Germans had been using the Swedish legation in Mexico as well as that in Argentina for the transmission of information to- Berlin. 'Fo1ke Cronholm, mentioned by the state department" he said, was dis
 missed from the service some time ago and I do not think he will ever return
 to it. But what happens in Mexico and what happens in Argentina con cern those legations rather than ours at Washington
 whether, is a result of the statement issued by Secretary Lansing, he would probably return to Washington soon, he replied:
 -Four weeks ago I caao1ed my gov ernment asking for permission to take a vacation, of which I was sorely in need. This permission came and two weeks ago I joined my family here expect to stay until the first of Octo- Der. This is the first vacation I have had in which I have dropped abso- 1ute1y all business of the legation Heretofore I have had some of the business sent me by mail so I could attend to it personally, but this year have left matters entirely in the hands of Baron AkerIielm the coun- sellor of the legation. I am out of touch altogether with affairs"

FEDERAL AGENTS IN
 G. B. MEANS APARTMENTS.
They Found a Complete Telephone Listening Device.

New York, Sept. 14.-Agents of the department of justice took possession B. Means, companion of Mrs. Maude A King when she met her death at Con- cord, N. C. Secrecy was maintained
 as to the reason for federal interven-
 of additional papers which were seized.
 | The secret service agents announced ! however, that they had found a com
 plete telephone listening device and a 1 revolver with a supply of cartridges. These articles were taken to the fed eral building. It was intimated that the documents found had been care fully hidden in the apartment. One unofficial explanation offered for the 1 the case was the fact that the ramih- cations of the mystery have extended into several states.
 Another figure who reappeared to- night in District Attorney Swann's in vestigation was Henry Deitsch, father in-1aw of Alton Means, a brother of
 Gaston, who went from the Means apartment to the criminal courts building at the request of one of MT. Swann's assistants. He was accom- panied by two detectives.
 Earlier in the day MT. Swann an nounced that facts in his possession in the case of Mrs. King and prepara- tions for a crime.
 What we know justif1es US in pre- pairing for the proof of foul play in North Carolina" MT. Swann said. we are led to believe that preparation for a crime was made here and several facts which we have discovered, taken together, indicate a motive"
 This announcement was made after the original of the alleged second will of James c. King, under which his widow would receive s4,O0O,OO0, was delivered to MT. Swann by Carl L. SchurZ. Gaston Means claims to have found this will among Mrs. Kings possessions eleven years after her husbands death. Until today it was believed the will was in a safe deposN vault in Chicago. Schurz was a third party to a contract under which Means was to receive $95O, 900 from Mrs. King if efforts to have the will probated were successful

 Except along the Classmates Plateau on the Aisne front, there has been no marked activity on sthe other fighting fronts.
 A German attack against French po- sitions on the Classmates Plateau. Paris reports, was repu1sed with heavy losses. Berlin says German troops penetrated to the second French line and inflicted severe casualties. The British artillery fire in Flanders, Ber- line reports, has increased to drumfire.
 The political situation in Russia still is beclouded somewhat. The revolt of General Korni1on apparently has fail ed dismally but the former command erin chief of the Russian armies has not yet surrendered to the provisional government.
