CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-Wheat-Over-
night political developments, indicat-
ing renewed activity of German sub
marines, with all of the uncertain
complications which might follow
such action, resulted in a wild STAN
pede on the part of holders and one
of the most sensational breaks in the
history of the trade. Weather condt-
lions over the west and the south
west. with very low temperatures
and lack of snow covering, would
ordinarily have made a bull market;
but nothing outside of political news
had any influence whatever. De-
struction of foodstuffs by submarines
can hardly be construed as bearish,
and weather conditions are not con-
ducive to big crop of winter wheat.
Corn-Corn was easy with wheat,
but there was not the lack OF sup
port that was the feature In the
early trading in the latter cereal.
Early today hogs made a new high
record of $12.20 per hundred pounds.
Argentine news is bullish, and hun
CRY foreigners are going to do their
best to secure whatever surplus we
can spare.
Oats-Liquidation in oats was very
drastic and during the early trading
lower prices were made than OH the
last big break. AS other grain,
political news will be the controlling
feature apd under present conditions,
these are difficult to forecast.

WHAT TO DO WHEN
YOU FALL ON WALK

Broken and. dislocated bones and
sprained joints are often caused by
falls on icy sidewalks. A sprain Is
injury, tear or stretch OF the liga-
ments Of a joint. It is caused by a
force carrying the joint beyond its
normal degree of motion. A twist or
the turning of an ankle produces q
sprain.
In sprain there is feeling Of
something giving way or tearing, &C
companied by severe pain. Rapid
swelling of the joint and Immediately
around it, follows. There is blush
discoloration. The joint is held stiff
and the pain of motion renders it use
less in severe cases. In treating a
sprain the joint should be placed in
it's most comfortable position. If the
injured part is elevated as high as
comfortable above the body level, the
throbbing pain will be relieved and
the swelling will be limited. Light,
elastic pressure should be applied
with a snug fitting but comfortable
bandage. The bandage should be
soaked with cold applications of wa
ter, so per cent alcohol, lead water
and laudanuni, witch hazel or arnica.
A splint should also DE applied At
the end of twelve to twenty-four hours
hot applications applied for ten min
utes every two hours are a great help.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The New
York Evening Sun fiancial review to-
day said:
Wall streets Interpretation Of the
German revocation of pledges given
the United States with respect to
submarine warfare was that a sever
ence of diplomatic relations would
necessarily follow. This conviction
was reflected in a violent break in
the stock market of to II points or
more. an unprecedented drop In cot
ton of more than thirty points and ex-
IRENE weakness in grain. There was
a vast accumulation OF selling orders
over night and such was the eager
rush to unload that brokerage houses,
floor traders and the stock tickerS
had the utmost difficulty in keeping
pace with the orders.
For the first time in a month or
more there was substantial public
participation in the market. Those
stockholders who have been reluct-
ant to dispose of their holdings in
the recent past, were among the more
eager sellers.
On the other hand there were
numerous frequenters of commission
houses who were on the lookout for
bargains. Large interests and bank
ers were credited with throwing in
considerable support in the way of
big buying orders, the result being
that by midday some sem blance Of
order had been restored and re-
coveries of to 8 and 4 points or so
were recorded practically throughout
the list.

NEW YORK, Feb. Afternoon
newspaper comment in New York re-
Elected the view that the present sit
uation between America and Germany
is one fraught with gravest POSSIBLE
tiles.
"The latest German move may be
only the last bluff of desperate
belligerent." declared the Evening
World. But bluff or not 1t arouses
the instant and alert attention OF the
United States"
Quoting the Sussex ultimatum, the
editorial continues:
Nothing is more certain than that
neither Count VonBernstorff nor the
imperial government which he rep
resents, has done anything that wild
ems the range Of choice today" Urg-
ing united action by neutrals to force
observance OF the declaration OF
London the Evening Mail says:
"They can confine the war upon
sea within the limits of law and hui
mainly or they can stand by and
see that war degenerate into an un-
exampled horror in which they also
will be involved"
Evening Sun: Germany, at bay,
puts international Law behind hor
and defies the world. It remains to be
seen whether she will be as fright
full as her threat. But with our
showing resolute and
front and our people unit
ed behind it, in our best judgment,
we have little to fear,
New York Globe: Having begun
the European war by an act Of per-
fidy, the German government now
seeks to end it by an act Of criminal
insanity. Upon neutral rights Gec-
many would wipe her feet as upon
door mat. The president should not
meet headlong folly with rashness.
Having condemned Germany for en-
quilting Europe in war by a precipi-
tate ultimatum, 1t is not for Amer
leans to clamor for instant hostilities.
There need be no loss OF time i'll
making our position absolutely clear;
and then, on the first overt act. we
