BIC JUMP GRAIN
Wheat Up 6 to s Cents, Corn
4 to ) During Week.
Hog Shortage Gives Provisions
Lofty Climb.

Chicago, March Big advances
turnout the entire list of grain and
provisions this week have resulted
largely from reports of extraordinary
endeavors by the British government
to facilitate shipments. Net gains in
values were:
Wheat. SIS cents to S9s corn, Az
to 5 Is; oats Il to 1 u and provisions
95 cents to 81.
Wheat prices started out strongly
influenced by simultaneous announce
ment of huge purchases for Europe
and by assertions that a fleet of the
largest merchant vessels in the world
would shortly be conveyed from this
side of the Atlantic.
In this connection the view spread
that Lloyd Georges address dealing
with the submarine problem implied a
long continuance of extra ordinary de-
mand for foodstuffs and even pre-
Guided much of a break in values on
peace news. Assertions that railway
traffic difficulties were being dimin-
ished tended also to lift prices.
Transient bearishness yesterday on
account of breaking of the southwest
ern drought gave way later to the
i fluence of high record prices If
corn. Topmost values ever reached
here for corn were brought about
chiefly thru steep jumps in hog quota
tons Oats hardened with other
cereals The lofty climb of the provi-
sion market was imputed in the main
to increasing evidence of shortage in
the available supply of hogs.

New York March Exposure of

Joseph H. Colt, chairman of the

only one thing will give us any
sort of chance TO hold our own
against Germany or any other nation.
That is speedy breaking down of par
ton of defense can be considered by
a national legislature united for
Americanism.
Politics in the past has divided the
American congress against itself with
the result that our legislators, chosen
to give the best that is in them for
unselfiSh devotion to the nation, have
thought less of defense than anything
else.
More Chauffeurs Than Soldiers.

is here.
cit may interest them to know that
there are fewer men in the United
States regular army than there are
licensed chauffeurs in New York; and
the $4,000 men needed to fill the
vacancies in our regular navy would
give full population to a city of no
mean size.
"Our coast artillery is under-man-
ned and it's guns are outranged by the
guns of the first class ships now in
European war service. 1 do not be

and only a united congress, unselfish-

ENDORSE TRAINING
Educators Urge Compulsory
Army Training for U. S.
Also to Compel Physical Train
ing in Public Schools.

Kansas City. March 3.-Compulsory
physical training for school pupils.
with universal military service thru
out the nation for men 20 md 81
years old, was recommended to the
superintendency division of the Ma
tional Education association which
closed its annual convention here to-
day. The recommendation was made
in a committee report presented by
Henry Snyder superintendent of
schools of Jersey City, \. j. 1t was
prepared by ten educators who CO.
operated with military authorities IN
arriving at the various conclusions.
Since it appears that we have not
vet reached the time when We may
escape war. the committee favors and
recommends the adoption of a plan
of intensive and specific military
training for young men of 10 years
of age and over to be conducted dur
ing the twentieth and twenty-first
years" the report reads.
Make Every Man a Soldier
This training should be universal
and compulsory upon young men Of
the ages mentioned who are physical
ly qualified, should include all the
features necessary to prepare young
men practically and effectively for the
work of the soldier, should be pro-
vided and directed by the national
government and at its expense, and
i should be given by expert instructors
provided by the national govern
ment."
! Cadet and training corps in elemen-
tary and secondary schools are op-
posed because the pupils are not suf-
ficiently strong physically to with
stand the hardships of military life,
the report states.
1t adds the suggestion, however,
that compulsory physical exercises
should be given both boy and girl
/ pupilS "includiuE sPttipp-un drills
with emphasis on posture and disci-
pine. marching, organized and super
vised play recreation, athletes, gym
nastics, summer camps and outdoor
vacations"
Further recommendations are for
medical inspection for all school at
PENDANTS and more widespread
teaching of patriotic ideals
