CHICAGO GRAIN

Chicago. May AFTER a whirlwind
descent of II cents IL bushcl and an
exciting rebound Of 16 cents, the wheat
market today continued to show great
nervousness owing almost entirely to
government moves at Washington and
Ottawa to establish joint continental
control of prices. There was an I'M
settled finish at 3A to 7hs cents net
decline, with May at $2.72k and July
at s2.19la M2.20h. Corn closed n to
IL cent off. Oats down ~ to ~
cent and provisions showed setbacks of
Is to 80 cents.
Acute weakness and Il display of
activity suddenly developed after mid
day. The cause of the furry was
peace talk, started by a rumor that
President Wilson's friend, Colonel T..
NJ. House, had been invited to Berlin.
Lack of any confirmation of the rumor,
however. led to quick rally.
Corn and oats maintained relative
stability as compared with wheat.
Prospects of government regulation
brought about much unloading by
holders of provisions.

The first day of their stay IN Dattie

their wabbly, ungainly flight They
go off with deafening roar. expend-
ing more energy on noise, however
than on material damage.
A notable development OF the wal
has been the dread with which the
Germans have seen weapons OF their
own invention turned against them,
and turned with a steadily increasing
intensity. Their prisoners speak OF the
terror these weapons have caused and
declare the German higher command
IS realizing all too late the Franken'
stems it brough into being. While
the Entente allies are multiplying
these terrors on the lines laid down
by Emperor William himself, the Ger
mans, isolated so long from the world,
find their resources and materials con-
stantly falling both as to means OF
carrying on this style of warfare, and,
what is more important to them, com
batting the retributive measures un-
dertaken by British and French.
Gas Is Example
Asphyxiating gas may be taken as
a striking example. The whole
world was shocked when Germany re
leased those poison clouds during
their second attack on Ypres when
the Allies, little suspecting such a
weapon, had no protection whatever
against it. The horror of those days
when men engulfed by the lethal
waves died agoniZing deaths will
never be forgotten. But the manner
in which the Canadian troops rallied
and prevented the Germans breaking
through in what they hoped would

be victorious march to Calais and
Boulogne, will ever be one OF the
most thrilling stories of the world
war.
Nowadays the British fairly battle
the Germans in every form OF gas
whenever the slightest opportunity
offers and prisoners all say their
losses in these attacks have been
aiarmingly heavy. Gas is sent over
IN creeping banks of fog, Is shot over
in bombs that suddenly explode in
trenches and at entrances to dlgouts,
while no billets or sleeping quarters
for troops in rest miles back of the
fighting line are safe from the gas
shells which are ever knocking at
their doors.
The bitterness Of 1t all to the Ger
mans. however, is the fact that daily
they and they have less and less rub
