Chicago, Aug. 23.-Belief that most
OF the standing crop was out of dan
Ter from drouth together with reports
Of abundant yields gave corn prices a
downward trend at the opening today.
Support developed on the break, how
ever, and the early decline was recoV-

in a harrow range. Opening prices
ranged from a shade to Is cent lower,
with December at s1.07A TO sI.0s3s

rallies sur-.ed prices to about yester-
days ciOshlE figures.
Buying sentiment developed later,
which with strength exhibited in the
cash market led to advances, which
carried prices well away from the
openings figures. Shorts seeking TO

Wheat trading was negligible. The
first trade was al sos for September,

trading being confined to evening-up

BRITISH CABINET
CRISIS IS SOLVED
Barnes Succeeds Henderson
in War Cabinet-Stockho
Conference Opposed.
LLOYD GEORGE GIVES VIEW



LONDON August IA day OF great
political excitement in London concluded
last night with the announcement that
George NicoH Barnes. minister of PEN
sons. had been appointed to replace Ar
thur Henderson as labor member OF the
war cabinet The appointment. according
to a semi official statement. has the APP
prevail of all the other labor members OF
the government.
Thus the crisis which seemed to
threaten the existence of the government
was at least temporarily solved. and I'M
less unexpected developments occur there
will be no appeal TO the country.
The government announced to parlia-
ment that the ministers had decided that
permission to attend the international So
cialist conference at Stockholm would not
be granted to British delegates
1.-THE law offices of the crown have adj
vised the government that il is not legal
for any persons resident in his majesty $
dominions TO engage in a conference with
enemy subjects without the license of the
crown is duly given. The government has
decided that permission to attend the
Stockholm conference will not be granted,

Stand of Other Nations.

THE same decision has been made by
the governments of the United States.
France and Italy. with which his ma
jesty's government has been in communi-
cation on the subject
Mr.. Henderson, in the house of COM
mons. made an impassioned defense of
his position in the conflict that has arisen
between himself and Prime Minister Lloyd
George. He entered into great detail on
the recent events. but stili left much
fmystery regarding his relations with the
premier since his return from Russia.
Mr.. Henderson impressed the house
considerably by showing that the ques-
ton of his visit to Paris was the sub
5ect of special cabinet meeting and
much sympathy was aroused in his be-
half by his having been kept waiting
for an hour outside the doors of a cab
met meeting and the fact that he first
learned through the columns of an even
ing newspaper that his resignation had
been accepted.

= Conflict Not Reconciled.

The debate in the house of commons
did nothing to reconcile the conflict of
evidence between Mr.. Lloyd George and
Mr. Henderson as to the line Mr.. Hem
derson intended to take at last Fri
days labor conference. Mr.. Lloyd George
maintained that the ministers had re-
ceived the impression that Mr.. Henderson
intended to turn down the Stockholm con-
ference. while Mr.. Henderson denied that
ne ever had limited that he would take
any other course than that he had fol-
lowed.
The minister spoke with great bitter
ness of what he characterized the
shameful treatment he had suffered at
the hands of the premier He said
there w~s no better press bureau than
the one controlled by the prime min
ister- Before he resigned he had had a
dose or II. and since his resignation he
had had an overdose

Discusses General Situation.

The premier proceeded to treat with
regard to the general situation, saying:
II have only one thing to say. namely
that while efforts are being made to re-
store discipline in the Russian army
nothing would be more fatal than to hold
conference with the enemy, when the
first step toward restoring discipline
would be to prevent fraternizing at the
front. That is the conclusion arrived at
by the four allied governments.
Il would rather not say anything for
the moment about the opinion in Russia.
The United States has decided not to
allow delegates to go to Stockholm. and
that is great democracy. The French,
Italian and British governments have
come to the same conclusion" loud
cheering) Mr.. Lloyd George concluded
his speech as follows.
The four allied powers definitely have
arrived at the conclusion that if terms of
peace are to be discussed they must he
made hv the representatives of their
whole nation. | am the last man to
say anything derogatory of the power or
influence OF labor. but they are not the
whole community.

Many Exciting Incidents.

The debate was the occasion of many
exciting incidents. Herbert Henry AS
Quith, former prime minister, wound 1t
up with a tactful speech, in which he
expressed the belief that the entire labor
party, with the exception of an insignifi-
{ can't minority, was against any pre-
curious peace.
Judging from the comment of the lob
s BY correspondents of the newspapers
Ar. Henderson will experience no great
sympathy from the general body of the
members of parliament. and there is no
great danger of a serious split in the
labor party.
An attempt was made to hold an execu-
tive meeting of the labor party last
night, but owing to the impossibility
81 assembling all the members from
the country 1t was adjourned until to-
day. when the whole situation will be
reconsidered.
Mr. Henderson yesterday defended his
attitude before the labor conference last
friday, when he favored the sending of
delegates to the socialist congress at
stockholm During the session David
Lloyd George. the prime minister, again
reiterated the governments position in
the premises.
IF the full story in regard to the
Stockholm conference must be told in
the national interest it should not be
sold now. and l am content to join the
Est OF ex-ministers who are awaiting
the opportunity to state the full facts
Of their cases without prejudice to
the national interests.
Proposes Visit to france,

posed a visit to France, which was
under consideration at a special meet
ing OF the war cabinet twenty-four
