LAST RESERVES CALLED OUT BY GERMAN NATION All Those Previously Re- jected Have Been Dr.
 dered to Report
 for Duty. TO MAKE FINAL EFFORT Hope to Make a Squirt Against Allies Before
 Americans Are
 Effective.

LONDON, Nov. 8.-Germany called out her last reserves within the past few days, according to advices from Zurich correspondent, and it is her intention to make a determ- ined assault against the Western front, similar to the Italian smash, before the Americans can become effective fighting units.
 All applicants previously rejected are ordered to present themselves for re-examination.
 The Zurich correspondent believes that with Russia practically out of the war, and the Italians too much crippled to carry on an aggressive offensive, that the Germans will at- tempt a final big offensive against the Western front, by concentrating there all their available forces.
 The conclusions of the correspond. ent bear out the prediction of miIi- tary men here that the deciding battle of the war will be fought on the Western front.

RESIDENT OF AMERICA IN CHARGE REVOLT Claimed Policies of Maxi miIists Are Not Sup ported by Whole
 People. WERE IN THE MINORITY Their Agents Set to Work Quietly to Undermine
 the Military
 Forces.

PETR0GRAD, Nov. 8. = Indica- tions for some time have pointed out the fact that an attempt would be made by the Maximilists in Pe- trograd to seize control of the capi- tai.
 November End was the date or iginally planned for an extremist demonstration which was expected by the promoters to result in the taking over of power by this ele- ment.. A postponement to an un- announced date was afterwards de- cided upon as the strength of the Maximilists was concentrated in the support they obtained from the mil itary, chiefly the Petrograd garri- son, among which they were able to work with little interference from the provisional government and preliminary parliament.
 They failed, however, to impress their policies upon Russia as a whole, as has been shown by the manner in which they were out voted in all proceedings of the Rus sian Congress, and the minority part which they played in the organiza- tion of the preliminary parliament of the Provisional Government under Premier Kerensky. They refused to participate further after finding that they were outnumbered, but quietly set to work to undermine the sentiment of the garrison and the military.

Sufferers Should Realize That It IS

rheumatism means that the bl 'od
has become saturated with uric acid
poison.
1t does not require medical advice
to know that good health is absolute
ly dependent upon pure blood. When
the muscles and joints become sore
and drawn with rheumatism, it is not
a wise thing to take a little salve
and by rubbing it on the sore spot,
expect to get rid of your rheu-

that, down deep into the blood where
the poison turks and which is not
edected by salves and ointments 1t

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, January 17.-Wholesale destruc- tion of merchant ships failed today to ex- ercise permanently depressing influence on the wheat market. In the end. prices. although nervous, were the same as yes- terday's finish to l4c off, with May sl.s7% to $1.S7s and July at $t .0s4 to s1.507s. Corn advanced 1c to 11sc net and oats gained Ac to asc to 1ac. In provisions the outcome varied from SC decline to a rise of 271sc.
 At first, owing to the announcement that many vessels had been lost, the mar ket underwent moderate sag, but soon the view became general that paralysis of commerce in the South Atlantic would in crease the necessity of the entente coun- tries to draw supplies from the United States. On this account prices rose to well above yesterdays finish. Informa- ton, however. that some of the vessels given up for lost were in the North At lantic service, led afterwards to a material setback, though not of a lasting sort
 Some leaders on the bull side of the wheat market took the position that so far as the ultimate effect on prices was concerned no real difference could arise whether wheat went into the sea or into the human stomach. Other authorities, k4Oo6i, SCCiHCu luOic GiSpoSSu 10 COnSlQer the possibility of new German attacks in the North Atlantic and of the likelihood that clearances from United States ports might at least temporarily be brought to standstill. On the other hand, asser- tions were current that domestic farm reserves, especially in Kansas, would be exhausted before the coming of the 1917 crop and this view appeared to be dom mating the market as the day came to close.
 Export demand made friends for corn. The market showed independent strength throughout the day. regardless of transi- ent downturns in wheat. Oats reflected the action of corn Rural offerings were reported small.
 Pork advanced to the highest price since lS69-$SO.2 .27h a barrel for January deliv- cry. Other provisions also averaged high CT, the result largely of rise fin values at Liverpool and in the hog market here.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 17.--Reports of losses to merchant shipping through op erations of German raider, were the main influences at work in cotton on this market today, and the price fell off until the most active months were nearly $250 a bale under yesterdays close. Shipping news, however, was two-edged and late in the market steadied and made par tial recovery on the official announce ment of the sinking of two ships last November, one a Norwegian, and the other Swedish, with total of 30, 900 bales of cotton aboard The close was at a net loss of 12 to IS points.
 The market opened at the decline, in sympathy with a poor Liverpool, and soon felt rather severe bear pressure. Selling became general around the middle of the morning, following the adverse shipping news.
 At the lowest, the trading months were s to 47 points down.
 Toward the middle of the day, the market was steadied by its sold-out con- dition, and by the growing demand for covers from shorts, who wanted their profits.
 Weather news was considered bearish, because of it's effect on new crop prepara- tions, but. the many claims that the wet weather would be followed by increased planting of grain on cotton lands had their effect late in the session.

SHARP BREAK IN
 COTTON MARKET
Nervousness Over Ocean Freight Situation Seemed
 Chiefly Responsible

New York. January 17.-Increasing nerv- ousness over the ocean freight situation seemed chiefly responsible for a sharp break in the cotton market during today's earlier trading. May contracts sold off from 17.53c to 17.26c, or S9 points under last nights closing figures, and fully 5 per bale below the high level of yester- day morning. Partial rallies followed with May closing at 17.49c, and with the general list closing steady at net de- cline of 10 to r points.
 The market opened steady at decline of to 25 points in response to lower cables. Trade interests were buyers of new crop months, while there was a little Liverpool buying here at the start, which stiffened prices up several points right after the call, but the market soon weak ened on the reports of activity on the part of the German commerce raiders in the South Atlantic. No advance was reported in transatlantic war risks, but it was re- ported that good deal of tonnage had been captured or destroyed in South American waters, and the trade was evil dently fearful that the activities of the
 
 Atlantic. Liverpool also turned an active seller here shortly after the openins, while houses with New Orleans connec- tions had selling orders and stop loss orders were uncovered on the decline. Their execution carried March contracts off to 17.04c, and July to 17.27c, or about s to 40 points net lower while the new crop sold off to a net loss of about 25 to 30 points. Offering then subsided, how ever, and the market was steadier during the afternoon on covering trade buying and the continued bullsh average of southern spot advices. The close showed rallies of 20 or 25 points from the lowest. Part of the Liverpool selling here was said to be against purchases of spot cot ton in the south which was being hedged until shipping facilities became available. prominent Alabama spot firm reports stocks at interior towns in east Alabama and west Georgia amounting to 50,A1 bales, against 112, ,150 last year. Further beneficial rains were reported in the southwest but trading in new crops were relatively quiet,
