Pit Becomes Quiet
on Directors Order
Fixing Top Prices

CHICAGO, May 1l.-After just three
minutes Of excitement In tho wheat
market today, the pit became AZ quiet
as funeral. The drastic action OF the
directors of the boad In fixing Of maxi
mum quotations for even the closing
out Of old contracts made . sharp
break in values almost certainty, and
the anxiety shown was chiefly In re-
gard to how far the drop might extend.
That question was quickly settled, for
the extreme decline was soon reacehd,
12c, rs compared with Saturday finish.
Then the market rebounded &c and
later became almost lifeless, the crowd
streaming out Of the wheat pit and
jamming the sections reserved for
dealings in corn and oats.
Opening prices for wheat ranged
from the same as Saturdays finish to
&c lower with May at 1910 to $2.72 and
July at $40 to $2.l4. Then came q
descent respectively to 1888 and $2.37.
and subsequent rallies to 1910 and
$2.41 before the market stiffened out
virtually comatose.
Corn and oats. not having been
anchored like wheat. went ballooning
right from the optset. Frightened
shorts started wildly to rush to cover
and in a few moments had sent corn
high above any previous level. Corn
rose more than 10c and oats more than
cents.
No other influences seemingly were
considered than the eager desire to be
protected against the advance that was
foreseen on all sides to be at least
temporarily as inevitable as was the
hreak In whoat Although at the top
of the bulge, corn fluctuated nervously

The Question Is, May Newspaper BE Conscientious

been done By other, now "pacihst,"
newspapers.
And while America has been neutral
and the "Nolkszeitung" was entirely
free TO accept advertisements IN re-
turn for loans from the German gov
eminent. IL refused TO accept these
advertisements. although it needed the
money more badly than the other
pacifst newspapers which accepted
these advertisements.
Here Is the reason why 1t could not
accept the advertisement for the Lib
erty Loan; here ia the reason why the
government. in our opinion, has no
right 20 punish 10 for that:
lu times Of war the government has
many rights which II has not in time
of peace. and the citizens have many
duties which are not duties in peace
ful times.
And one Of the duties Of citizen
in war time is not 20 employ his right
Of free speech TO help the enemy or
to hinder the struggle of his own coun-
try And one of the rights of the
government is 20 shut the mouth Of a
citizen or a newspaper that breaches
treachery or helps the enemy.
u is not. however. the duty OF q
citizen to say things which he does
not believe; it is not the duty Of a
newspaper 10 print things which are
against its conscience.
AZ the beginning Of the war our
government made 10 known that Il
would not force the Germans in this
country 10 cease being German. The
-uly thing that was asked of the Ger
mans was that they keep their mouths
shut.
This is the only possible position
under the circumstances for a govern
mcnt that is not in conflict with JUS
tice and which is humane.
The draft law takes into considera-
tiou the conscientious objection Of
men belonging TO certain religious
sects. The law also ought to take
into consideration conscientious OBJ
icctions" for other purposes. Not all
paciist newspapers are honest and
sincere and are following definite
principles. Their conscientious obiec-
tons are humbug and bluff
The New York "Noikszeitung," how
ever. is honest and sincere; il has
sacrificed and suffered for its convic-
tons and is still sacrificing and suf-
fcrinC to-day.
And it will be a terrible injustice
10 punish il.

AN editorial from MiUey's Weekly,
one of the patriotic Yiddish papers
Of the East Side.)
The newspapers arc reporting that
the government has determined TO stop
the Socialist New York "Volkszeitung'
because it refused TO receive an adyer-
tiscmcnt for the Liberty Loan.
We do not believe that this decision
Of the government is wise and lust
We have nothing to say IN regard to
the other newspapers which the gov
eminent has refused the privilege of
second class mail on account Of their
hostile attitude toward the war
These so-callcd pacihst new papers
had never been paciist in the sense OF
real pacifsm. i'm sense Of resistance
to war from principle.
These newspapers had been pro-Ger-
man through and through. and not only
passiyely pro German, but aggressiveIy
pro German. and often much more base
and brutal than the worst lingo organs
Of William in Germany.
They became suddenly pacihstlc Wheh
America had begun 90 prepare Tor war
and when Germany had perceived that
She could no longer crush the Alhes
and that % was only question OF
time when she herself, when German
mIlitarism. would be crushed by inc
victorious worid-democracy.
This was not, however. the way me
"Volks2eitung" acted all the time. TINS
first Great American Socialist organ
has been from the very first day OF
tbe war true 10 itself and its prin-
ciples. Immediately when Germany
and Austria had sent their ultimatums
20 Serbia and later their declaration OF
war TO the Allies, the "Folkszeitung
assumed an attitude against the war
and i'm spite Of the fact that IT had
been losing every day readers, inhu,
ence and prestige, it has not betrayed
for a moment the Socialist teachings
which condemn every war; no m"''e'
from what 10 may result
II the "Nolkszeitung was not dahc-
ine, iigs when the Lusitanla was SUNK,
u I'D not rejoice in the destruction OF
R.Ic;um. France and Poland. and Do cld
not celebrate every day the death oil
tons Of thousands of enemies as mao
