$4,000 DETROIT
MEN REGISTERED
FOR DRAFT JUNE 5

There we're in Detroit on June 5
just $4,000 men between the ages
or Fl and 80 eligible for the draft.
This doesn't take into account the
elackers or those who did not reg
lister because OF illness, absence from
the city or on any OF the other
grounds which have ben advanced
freely by those who have regis
tered for CONSUMPTION since the
Official registration day. II IS esu-
mated that about 1000 have en-
rolled since June S, but the cards
for these men have been kept sep
arate and are not included In the
total announced Monday by the reg
istratiOn board.
The work Of classifying and tab
Mating the returns has consumed
about 10 days with large STAFF Of
clerks working in three shifts. All
OF the cards were made out in dup
licate and will be used by the draft
board in finally signing up the men
for the national army. A book con-
tanning the list OF those who regis
tered voluntarily will be published
within a couple Of days.
Meanwhile tardy young warriors
are still fling into the council cham

Some OF them were forced 10 do

WHEN THE CROSS
PRECEDES ARMY,
PEACE WILL COME
REV. wM. J. CAMPBELL

When tho cross precedes the
army instead OF following It. there
will be no call 10 bind up suffering
humanity" declared the Rev. vii.
liam j. Campbell. Of Lewiston. Me,
formerly pastor in the Congrega-
tlonal churches q Lansing and Kali
amazoo. in a sermon delivered sun
day morning IN the First Congrega-
tlonal church.
III might be prophecy the way
the Red Cross Is today doing us
wonderful work In the very front
ranks OF the armies. The Red Cross
Is In the firing line now. and Is do
ing a magnificent service for man
kind The time cannot be far on
when the Cross shall move out OF
the firing limo and head the armies.
Then there shall be permanent
peace"
Mr. Campbell spoke Of the need
for peoples 20 dwell in tho ahadows
the great men threw about them.
He mentioned Abraham Lincoln as
the Great American, casting n
shadow where we should bo content
70 stay And" said he il Ger
many had been content 10 dwell
within the shadow OF the great Mar
tin Luther. and had followed hts
teachings. there would be no car

WASHINGTON, June The
object OF the German air raids just

the aerial supremacy OF Great Brit.
ain and France on the western
front by forcing large number Of
the British planes 20 be called from

lish cities. such. at least. IS the
opinion OF military authorities here.
II Is admitted that in this plan
all the advantage lies with the Ger
mans.
In the FIRST place. Il requires only
Is German planes 70 carry out a
raid As destructive as the last one,
with its toll OF 81 dead and 49, in

city or any great industrial center
that they choose, and no one can
possibly predict in advance where
the blow will fall.
To protect Great Britain from
such raids, on the other hand. thou
sands Of fighting planes would be
required, and these can only be pro
cured by withdrawing them from
the French front. where every plane
is now needed 70 maintain the SUI
premacy in the air recently won BY
the Allies.
The second great advantage Of
Germany lies in the fact that 81 is
very much farther from any Of the
Allies flying bases 20 any vital spot
In Germany than from the German
Aging bases 10 London and other

CORN MARKET TOUCHES
HIGHEST FIGURES OF 1917
Heavy Shipments and Prospects Of
More Car Service Later Lower
Prices in Chicago.

CHICAGO. December 1.-Unmistak-
able evidence OF relief from car scar
city has been e decisive factor this
week in lowering the price OF corn.
Compared with a week ago. the corn
market this morning was cent to 1%
net lower. oats were n cent down to
l Is cents up. and provisions varied
from 20 cents decline to rise OF 20
cents
Government orders giving western
railroads more cars brought prospects
of larger receipts Of corn into imme-
date notice. The bearish effect on
corn was afterward temporarily coun-
teracted by a persistent seaboard de-
mand for oats. Thereupon. December
delivery of corn made a transient bulge
to the highest 1917 figures yet reached.
shipments from rural sources. together
with reports that the movement of
empty cars into the corn belt had at
last assumed liberal proportions. drove
prices gradually down grade.
Before word was received that oats,
like wheat and corn, would be rushed
forward by the railroads. the oats mar
ket scared daily to new high-price rec
ords for the season. Subsequently,
however, declines from top quotations
showed rapid progress.
Provisions, especially pork, ascended
to levels heretofore unknown even in
civil war days when gold was at a big
premium. Talk of immense govern
ment contracts having been placed was
the principal reason given.
