RUSSIA WILL NOT
 ENTER PEACE PACT
Not Until Allies Win Will Russians Cease Fighting, Says Rovno Man
 in Letter to Son Here.

That spili; of determination to fight until German militarism has been crushed nervades the people of Rus sia, and an altogether new spirit of nationalism and loyalty to the gov ernment prevails since the establish ment of democratic form in Rus sia, is the news contained in letter received yesterday by Philip J. Gould, of the Balm store, from his father, William Gould, residing at Rovno, in Russian Poland.
 Phil Gould says this is the first letter he has received from Russia since the war that was not censored.
 The letter, written on March "A, states that the supply of food for the civil population is short, but that the government has commandeered and placed in storage food sufficient to feed the Russian armies for four or five years. MT. Gould told his son there is not the slightest possibility that Russia would entertain consideration of a proposal for separate peace; that it was apprehension that such 9 9 step might be taken by the Romanoff dynasty that precipitated the revolu- tion. .-. l

WILL NAME OFFICERS
 HOME GUARD TONIGHT
Expect Large Attendance at Meeting at Courthouse, That Drilling May
 Be Started Immediately.

Formal organization is expected to be perfected tonight, at meeting to be held at the courthouse, of the 'home guard" military company, as it is familiarly called.
 The purpose of the organization is to provide for a system of drills, that the members of the company may receive training that will be of value to them, should any of them be called to the colors in the future, as the result of the entrance of the United States into the war with Germany. There is no intention to offer the ser vices of the company as an organiza tion. either to the federal government or the state, nor really to serve as a home guard, the primary purpose be- ing merely to receive training, and thus to be ready for any eventual ity.
 It is expected there will be large attendance at the meeting tonight, so that officers may be elected and other arrangements perfected, for the immediate beginning of the drills.

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, April 25.-Fresh rcco id breaking advance here today in the price of wheat took place largely as a result of even sleeper proceedings, presumed to show urgent buying for the entente allies. Scarcity of offer ings in Chicago was so evident that only a moderate amount of buying proved sufficient to lift the market rapidly. Mot of the demand here appeared to come from shorts, es- pecially in the May delivery which showed the sharpest upturn, going to SPAS, an overnight jump of 7 1-4c to z 1-2c. Opening prices for the mar ket as a whole, ranged from 4 1-2c to 4c with May at $244 to $2.44 1-2 and July at $2.O7 to $2.O9 1-2, but it was not long until the rise extended figures.
 The market circled higher and high CT in the late dealings and carried all deliveries of wheat and of corn and oats as well to the topmost points yet. Trade in wheat broadened out considerably on the late bulges with May at one stage up to $2.52, an ex- tremc rise since yesterday of II 1-2c. The close was nervous, 7 to 10c net higher with May at $2.5O 3-4 to 2.51 and July at $2.15 1-2 to 2.16.
 Corn ascended swiftly with wheat. Smallness of receipts was bullish feature. After opening 1-8c to 1 3-4c higher, the market scored a general advance of 2 1-2 to 3 3-4c above yes- terday's finish.
 Wet weather and continued reports of car shortage led subsequently to additional strength of pirces. The close was unsettled at 3 1-2 to 5c net advance.
 Oats developed considerably inde- pendent firmness. There was big general investment demand.
