VESSEL REPORTS
BOOST THE PRICE

Chicago, Feb. 45.-Wheat jumped
up today largely as a result of ascer-
tions that British ships would load
grain in preference to cotton and that
the Netherlands government had been
successful in solving difficulties which
had brought TO a standstill all Dutch
traffic with the United States. The
market closed strong, 5-8 to 1-Sc
net higher, with May at $1.74 5-S to
$1.74 7-s. and July at s1.49 Ia to 1-2.
Corn gained Us to 1c, and oats 1 to
1-4@1 3-8c. In provisions the out
come was the same as yesterdays fin
ish to 10c lower.
Nearly six cents advance from the
lowest prices of the strength which
developed during the late trading was
ascribed to reports that the British
government was asking for offers on
about 1,750,00O bushels of wheat on
the Pacific coast.
Corn derived strength from wheat.
Oats showed Independent firmness
owing chiefly to assertions that the
United States government had pur-
chased 100000 bushels for shipment
TO Ell Paso. Provisions averaged low
er. Weakness in the hog market was
largely responsible.

RAID GERMAN TRENCHES
ncnts larger Sizc) for an En-
terplise in the Snow.
(By Philfp Gibbs,

With the British Armies in the
Field, Feb. 16.-For comedy there is
an episode Of Canadian history only
few days old which began when a
sprightly young officer startled a re-
spectacle old lady behind the counter
of milliner's shop in French viii
lage by demanding 100 ladies' nighties
(chemises de mutt, he called them)
or the largest size. The village hearo
the story of the shopping expedition,
listened to the old ladys shrill cackle
Of laughter, and wondered what joke
was on among the Canadian troops
1t was one Of those jokes which be-
long to the humors of this war mixed
with blood and death
Up in the Canadian trenches there
were shouts Of laughter as over their
khaki hundred brawny young Cana
dians puts on nightdresses. They had
been tied up with blue ribbon. The
old moon never looked down upon a
stranger scene than those white
robed soldiers who went out winning
into No Mans Land with rifles and
bombs. Some Of the nightdresses so
clean and dainty when they had come
out of the milliner's shop, were stain
ed red before the end of the adven-
ture, and the Germans in the dug
outs caught a glimpse Of these fam
tastic figures before death came quick
ly or shout of surrender.
The Pierrots went back with some
prisoners in the moonlight and the
Canadian staff officers chucllled with
laughter along the telephone wires
when the tale was told.

Berne. Feb. 16.-The American peo-
pie should get this very clearly and
firmly in mind. Germany has made
up her mind to '.go to IT. with the
submarines. and the German people
are with the German government on
that point.
The question of sharpened U-boat
warfare has been the subject OF the
keenest discussion among Germans
these many months. When I first
reached Berlin different prominent
and influential men, including mem-
bers of the government, spoke to me
against indiscriminate use OF sub
marines. There can be no question
now, however. that German solidar-
ity supports the new policy.
The Germans wanted, and still want,
peace. Thousands of them We're fatu-
Gus enough to believe that the kaiser's
December offer was genuinely feasi-
BILE and that peace might really ensue.
The newspapers constantly used a
word meaning "peace-longing" in
their discussions of the subject.
bulk of Germans for the moment be-
Neve that they want peace because
they have been forced down by star
walton. by financial stress. or by the
present or approaching lack OF war
materials. They are sincerely tired Of
war.
The great wave Of emotion which
swept over Germany about Christmas
time was for peace. The refusal Of
the entente powers to make peace
on the basis. of Germany's Christmas
offer having deprived the German
government of the opportunity to
claim great success, Berlin now works
with consummate skill on the emo
tionai German people, everywhere re-
placing longing for peace with har-
dened determination to fight.
The men who three weeks ago were
opposing sharpened submarine war
fare are now earnestly and sincerely
supporting it. and asserting that Eng
land is responsible for the refusal Of
,Germany's peace offer.
How They Count on Victory.
This Is sincerity which cannot be
ignored or scoffed at. 1t must be met
full square or it will carry Germany
to peace with victory
There Is supreme confidence among
the Germans in the ability Of the sub
marines to force England to early
terms. These Germans have dis
counted Americas participation in
the war. They are not Indifferent to
1t but are wholly confident: First.
that America will be unable for many
months to render any appreciable
material. military or naval aid to the
entente powers: and, second, that he
fore America can do anything effec-
tive the submarines will have created
such havoc among the worlds ship
ping that the entente powers must
seek peace.

WHEAT STARTS
DOWNWARD AGAIN

Minneapolis, Feb. 16.-May wheat
/ 3-4c lower. July wheat 1-Sc lower.
The market has been of scalping
character. During the early trading
the market was easier with a sharp
rally during the middle Of the session
which advanced the market 8 l-oc;
The bulge however did not hold and
just before the close the market sag
ged very quickly and lost all of the
gain. The strength was due to bad
reports from the winter wheat terri
tory where it is claimed that the plant
is suffering for lack of moisture.
The shipping situation continues
bad and there seems to be little
chance for much of an improvement
although strenuous efforts are being
made This restricts trade in all
grains. The market is very sensitive
and is affected by the developments
so that changes are very rapid.

OWE WEALTH TO TRADE RAT
Rodents Peculiarly Led to Discovery
Of Valuable Mine From Which He
Had Carried Away Ore.

Miser the trade rat is also called
pack rat, wood rat and bushy tailed
rat. he Is one OF the smartest and by
far the most interesting of oil the rat
family.
He is rather a fine-looking fellow.
He is Of large size. has big eyes, big
ears. and, In many parts OF the country
where he lives his tail is covered with
long hair. It Is because of this that
he often is called the bushy-tailed rat.
This rat Is born collector and
trader. Anything he can carry of is
a prize. Very frequently he tries to
make amends by replacing with some
thing else the object carried away.
For instance, he will empty bag Of
seeds and al It with pebbles or bits Of
sticks. he appears to be very fond Of
things that shine or are white, and
will collect shells. bones, pebbles, bits
OF tin, buckles, pistol cartridges,
spoons, forks and knives.
In the western part of the United
States where gold and other ores are
mined. valuable gold mine was dis
covered through Miser's contribution
to miner, says a writer In the Peo-
pies Home Journal. Miser made many
visit to the prospector's cabin, taking
scraps Of food. and whatever he fam
cied. He brought back fragments Of
quartz, and when these were assayed
they were found to be heavy with gold.
Miser was tracked to his. nest and
near It was found the gold bearing
vein from which the samples have been
taken.
He is a most industrious fellow. In
single night he viii carry away
from camp he may visit large part
Of the food left unprotected, leaving
In its place an equal quantity Of seeds,
stones, pine cones or other things
which he can easily find. Altogether
he is an amusing though often trou-
blesome neighbor. His little junk shop
is usually worth investigating.
