county in the state met in St Paul,
paraded the streets and listened to
patriotic speeches Saturday the gen
eral public in Minneapolis joined in
the feast of loyalty.

Carl s. Vrooman, assistant secretary
of agriculture, and Otto Kahn, New
York banker of German parentage. as
the chief speaker In the evening
there was another mass meeting open
to the public.
Prominent Speakers.
These were the speakers: IT. p.
(Tay Pay) O'Connor. for 40 years a
member of the British house of com.
mons and leader in the fight for
Irish rights; United States Senators
Knute Nelson and Frank D. Kellogg.
Governor Harding of Iowa and Mrs.
Nellie McClung, Canadian writer.
Otto Kahn, one OF the country's
most patriotic financiers, said that
Germany of today was not the Ger
many Germans in America know.
He said that the policy of frightful-
ness had permeated the whole Prus-
sian ruling caste.
Conscience Superior to Blood.
1T is hard for us to speak against
the country from which we sprung"
he said. "But it must be done. Con
science must be superior to blood.
Honor must be superior to race.
"The spirit of Prussianism and the
spirit of Americanism cannot live in
the same world One or the other
must go. DO we love liberty? Then
meet and crush Prussianism."
Mr. Kahn said that American busi-
ness men were giving of their all pa.
triotically in this war He denied
vehemeDtly that 1t was "rich mans
war and poor mans fight
To Be No Abnormal Profits.
Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary
of agriculture, told his hearers that
the President and every one associat-
ed with him were doing their ut
most to see that there were no alb
normal profits I'm this war
'In the past war has generally been
a hell of carnage at the front and
carnival of profiteering at the rear"
he said. 1T has meant a sacrifice of
career, family ties, income, health
and life itself by farmers, artisans
and other fighting men. But not In
frequently to the unscrupulous mer-
chants, manufacturers and financiers
it has meant increased opportunity
for graft and extortion from country
and from fellow countrymer.
But there is new patriotism
abroad in the land. This is a war in
which the civilized patriotism and sac
rifice is rapidly being as universal
among non-combatants as is devotion
and heroism among our soldiers at
the 'front.'
The parade in st. Paul was the
real feature of the loyalty gather
ing, Every county was represented in
the line of march. Some of the coun-
ties sent delegations numbering $50
persons.

COWDRAY QUITS IN HUFF
Head of British Air Board Re-
signs Place.

Is the Cause of His
Resignation.

of Lord Northcliffe.s letter to Premier
Lloyd George, Viscount Cowdray,

Viscount Cowdray was appointed
chairman of the British air board Jan.

Fear American Temper.
The newspapers comment extensive
ly on Lord Northcliffe's letter to Pre-
mier Lloyd George, in which he de-
cir Il appointment as air minister and
criticised the government on the
ground that 1t was dallying with such
problems as unity of war control,
eradication of sedition, mobilization of
man-power and introduction of COM
pulsory food rationing.
The Globe says the gravest OF all
Lord Northcliffe's warnings is that
concerning the temper of the Ameri-
can nation, that the American people
think, and think rightly, that Great
Britain's rulers have muddled the war.

DEVELOPMENTS At CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The federal
government having determined to
take over the. wheat crop and dis
tribute it, those who went to the Wis.
itor's gallery Of the board of trade
today turned instructive eyes toward
the wheat pit.
Here where tumultuous mob nor
mally is vociferously responsive to
scraps Of information concerning ex.
ports from Argentine or even the ap-
pearance of a rain cloud over some
dry area in Kansas, there was only
silence.
Traders Are Idle
Two or three idle traders were
seated in chairs near the pit. No one
was in it The clerk rested his chin
on one hand. At the opening he
chalked up "S2.14" as the sole bid for
September wheat and resumed his re-
Election. There was no longer string
of messengers scurrying between his
cage and the telegraph wires. One
boy is retained but at the moment he
was down in the street listening to a
brass band
Months ago the board adopted max
fmum prices and other restrictions
which practically eliminated specula-
tive trading. The news that the far
mer would have only one customer
had no effect in the pit

increased tendency to ease off, but a
downward slant Of late has been the
plain course of prices. For long
time, too, the amount Of trading done
has been hardly more than enough to
establish quotations. This morning
business il possible was even more
limited in volume, and the pit was VIZ

No other option but Sept. was dealt in

Falling off in demand for corn for
immediate delivery especially to dis
tillers continued to weaken the corn

counted also in favor of the bears.
Opening prices, which ranged from II C
to 1c lower with Dec. at $114 to
S1141a and May at $1.11A to s1.111s
were followed by moderate rally and
then fresh setback
Oats gave way with corn. Specu-

pressure mainly on the Dec. option.

Names of Romanoffs Giue Place
to Terms Expressing Freedom In
Cities and Streets of Russia

PETROGRAD, June %, (Correspon-
dence of the Associated Press. )-Ev-
erything associated with Czarism is
being ruthlessfy abolished, even when
the abolition destroys or profanes his
toric associations. Names of places
and squares taken from Romanoff
rules and grand dukes are giving
place to names of revolutionary heroes
and to abstract terms expressing the
enthusiasm for freedom.
The changes are provoking strange
controversies and amusing incidents.
Elaborate names smacking of China
are proposed. One is Street of the
Eternal Memory of the Martyrs Of the
Revolution
Terrorists Honored.
In many towns are now played at
street corners the names of Kalayeff,
Gershuni, and other Terrorists who as
sassinated despotic ministers and gov.
errors. In Moscow, it has been even
proposed to change the house Of Boy.

America As Chief Foe.
One German statesman sent word by
my confidentialy correspondent:
"Our continental enemies have be
queathed their war to the United
States. And you have taken 1t over.
We may no longer close our eyes to
the magnitude of your preparations.
nor to the seriousness of their import
for US.
Another year will go by without

ture, except as regards the constantly
increasing attrition of our European
enemies. Then, then, we shall be
fighting with you.
you have now become the driving
power behind the war. You are bound
to become its chief aggressive force. !.
But all such speculations are aca-
demic. The concrete fact is that you
have taken over the Great War. II
you had not entered it, Christmas
would have seen the envisaged troops
fraternizing in the trenches. Spring
would have seen 100000 men return

Joy, to rejoin their loved ones and re-
plant their gardens.
