Cattle.
Cattle offerings were not overplenti-
full but they lacked quality.
Corn planting activities are keeping
many feeders busy and it is apparent
that few are worried over prospects
sufficiently to slow down the rush OF
planting in order to ship cattle. Sup

week ago and 1867 a year ago, while
there were also moderate runs at west
ern points, total at seven markets

ago and $500 year ago.
Unlike recent Mondays, no very
great proportion Of the stuff was OF

TROOPS TO GO SOON.
First Contingent to Europe to Consist
Largely Of Regulars.


Washington. May 14.-Moved by the
pleas of Marshal Joffre and other mem
bers of the French and British COM
missions, President Wilson has decided
to send American troops to the Euro
pean firing line as soon as it Is posi-
lbe.
The war department has been in
structed to rush all plans and army
officers predicted today that American
troops will be on French soil before
the end OF July.
The president is giving his attention
to the selection of general to COM
mand the first contingent. The cen
sorship forbids mention of the name
OF the man who appears most likely
to be chosen. but 1t can be said that
he is general OF long active service.
who has achieved most creditable
record in recent military history. He
has been summoned to Washington to
confer with the president.
one-Third Regulars.
The present plan is to send from
two to four divisions OF troops. num-
bering from $4,000 to 10000 men. 1t
is probable that about one third will be
seasoned regular army men and the re-
mainder national guardsmen and vol
unteers.
Regulars are to be included in the
expeditionary force to furnish stable
nucleus of trained men. In expanding
the regular army the war department
is already separating regiments into
three battalions. each of which Is to
form the nucleus Of new regiment.
peditionary force will be the pick Of
those who received training on the
Mexican border last year. The re-
mainder. according to the present plan.
will be chosen from the Roosevelt vol
unteers or some similar body.
Roosevelt Likely t6 Go.
Army officers deem it probable that
Col. Roosevelt will be allowed to go
with the first body Of troops. but not
as its commander. The practical mill
tary men OF the war department say
that Roosevelt could be used to advan-
tage as a brigadier general, and they
look for his appointment to this rank
unless the president refuses to allow
the colonel to go.
That the colonel will raise several d.
visions OF volunteers and get to the
firing line in some command, high or
low. Is the confident prediction OF his
friends since the house sent the army
bill back to conference with instruc-
tons to include the Roosevelt amend
ment.
The Roosevelt amendment authorizes
but does not require the president to
raise and equip not more than four
volunteer divisions. Mr.. Wilson. there
fore, might refuse to call the Roosevelt
volunteers into the service. But. say
the Roosevelt men, II this amendment
becomes law, the colonel viii proceed to
enroll, mobilize. and. II possible. train
his volunteers.

Chicago, May 15.-Wheat-So long as
trading was unrestricted and the public
was officially warned of food shortage
and urged to redouble productive ef-
fort, prices were kept advancing rap
idly, This was due TO an almost hys-
terical accumulation on the part of
consumers ard to the holding back Of
supplies by those who had them in pos
session. Since maximum prices have
been fixed and trading restricted there
has been a gradual lowering Of prices,
az would naturally occur. The market
today continued on it's downward trend
and announcement was made at the
close that maximum prices or the last
two days will be continued until further
notice.

with 1911, one eruption after another
hit baseball, until the national pastlme
was on the verge Of destruction.
Trouble with the players first started
in 1911, when the Detroit team struck
for Ty Cobb. The fraternity was or
ganized during the 1912 season, and In
the winter of 1918 the players were
pledged not to sign until the frater-
nifty secured recognition and certain
requests. Most of these requests were
granted when the National Commits
sion and the National Association en-
tered into an agreement with the ira
ternity early in 1913.
During the 1913; season a date was
set for the Kraft strike, which was
prevented when Ebbets of Brooklyn
! retained the player and later sold him
| to the New York Americans.
Then came two years OF Federal
| league war, with its contract Jumpers,
suits, injunctions and other legal en-
tanglements. After the club owners
thought they had settled with the
Federal league the suit of the Balt1-
more directors for 100000 popped up.
Along with it came another strike
threat of the players many OF Whom
refused to sign unless the minor
