Chicago, Dec. 29.-Liberals arrivals

Most OF the cattle were consigned

Masonic Temple: Phone 1881
Chicago Dec. 2s.-Corn-Strength in
oats and short covering were the CHIEF
factors in a moderate net advance in
corn. The outlook Is dependent on car
supplies and improvement in this di-
rection has, so far, been so dlsappolnt-
ing that no one IN the trade is Wiling
to be aggressive on the selling side.
The weather, Of course, has not been
entirely favorable for railroad opera
tons and the weekly weather forecast
does not give special encouragement
for improvement in physical conditions.
Reports from the country indicate that
farmers are anxious, as IS usual at TINS
season to sell corn. Country elevators
are not in position to do business un-
less assured OF supplies OF cars.
Oats-Strength in cash oats and IN
outside markets encouraged group
of local traders to take the buying side
in a liberal way. The admonition OF
the department OF justice some weeks
ago seems to have been forgotten, and
many traders again are assumtrO ines
of considerable proportions. Conf
dence among the 'DullS Is SusIaAieu ~
further export business, but prices are
now 50 high that nearly every one
concerned Is bullish and holding for
greater profits.
Stocks-The stock market gave =
good account Of itself, following the
recent sharp advance and the DISPOSE
ton in some quarters to take profits
over the weekend. Motor shares
were noticeably strong, while steels
and a majority Of the leading rails
showed a firm undertone. Dividend
paving rails are receiving more than
their share Of attention

Special to TlmeS-Repu DllCan.
Dubuque, Dec. 29.-Chris Wingen'
prominent business man Of McGregor,
was taken into custody Friday morn
ing by Deputy United States Marshal
A. p. Houston on charge Of violating
the espionage act. He was brought to
this city and taken before United
States Commissioner McCabe for
hearing in the afternoon. He waived
preliminary examination and was re-
leased under bonds OF $4,000 for APP
pearance at the April term OF the
United States district court. A promi-
nent local manufacturer furnished the
bond.
Among the most unpatriotic remarks
charged to the McGregor ran were
that the United States had no bust
ness being engaged in the war which
Is unjust and a rich mans war; that
the liberty bond issue was nothing but
a public graft" and that the United
States had no business to send men
across the water to fight Englands

effect that while in France visiting

to the troops issued by the general
commanding the division concerned. A

A large area near the middle Of the
north Atlantic ocean Is known as the
Sargasso sea. the name being derived
from sSargassum baciferum." the
Latin name Of floating seaweed or
gulf-weed found In great abundance
in this part OF the ocean--so abundant
that it Is described as forming enor-
nous banks. The part of the north
Atlantic that Is known as the Sargnsso
sea is roughly bounded on the north
by the Goth parallel Of north latitude
and on the south by the 35th parallel,
and on the east md the west by the
10th and the 18th meridians west
longitude. In this area there is prac.
tically no surface circulation. which
accounts for the presence OF the
weeds, carried out to mid-ocean by
such currents as the gulf stream.

Washington. Dec. 2s.-Delay by the
war department in sending an adequate
supply Of tents and clothing to Camp
Bowie. Fort Worth, Tex, was RESPONSE
BILE for the loss Of many lives of nation
al guardsmen in the federal army.
This tragic result of government red
tape and war department sluggishness
was revealed to the senate military at
fairs committee by Maj. Gen. Edwin
st. j. Greble, commander at Camp
Bowie. who reluctantly told how he had
bombarded the department officials
with kilograms before he went to Eu-
rope In September. urging prompt ac-
ton IN looking after the health of his
troops and predicting an epidemic OF
disease.
Wrote to Sharpe.
II protested several times over hav-
ing to put twelve men in each army
tent at Camp Bowie" said Gen. Greble,
and when I was ordered to Europe. I
wrote a personal letter to Quartermas-
ter Gen. Sharpe. explaining to him the
conditions at the camp, warning OF
danger in assigning twelve men to each
tent in such camp, and asking for
a further supply. That was on s pit
enber IA. Some time in November,
during my absence. they got the tents.
Meanwhile an epidemic of measles and
pneumonia had broken out together
with other camp sickness, and many
men died.
do you think II the war Departments
had acted promptly on your recon-
mendations and warnings, that the
epidemic could have been stopped?"
Senator Chamberlain asked.
II don't know that 1t would have
stopped the epidemic, but 1t would
have saved a great many lives"
Knew Of Tentass Danger.
While conditions ct the camp were
generally good, Gen. Greble said he
knew by experience with troops that
in camp occupied by $4,000 men. it
was dangerous to put twelve men In q
tent.
1--WE had them IN those tents SO
trick YOU could not walk between

anxious to get more tents before
