Wheat Hits
81 8 Stu mp
But RecoUers
Great Britain Reported to Have
Sold Immense Holdings for
Future Delivery
FALL IN VALUES
NET SIXTEEN CENTS

Chicago, May Sensational
downward plunge in the wheat mar
ket took place today. largely owing
to reports that the United States
government has asked Great Britain
and her European allies to sell i'm
mense holdings of future delivery con-
tracts OF wheat which had ben pur-
chased in this country and which
were said to be chiefly responsible
for the recent skyrocketing price Of
breadstuffs. The maximum fall In
values this morning was Is cents.
Owing to the continuance Of arti.
fetal restriction on trading, the ag-
gregate OF contraction in the wheat
market was very small, despite the
wide range in prices. July wheat, in
which the greatest depression was
witnessed, fell to $2.14, as against
$3.50 at yesterdays finish. but later
rallied to 1920.

Queenstown, May ia squadron
of American torpedo boat destroyers
| has safely crossed the Atlantic and is
patrolling the seas in war service.
The American navy's actual entry
into the war zone has already been
productive of brush between a de.
strOyer and German under water
boat, according to an announcement
by the British admiralty, but the re.
suit OF 1t has not been made public.
No Accidents.
The destroyer squadron arrived in
Queenstown after an uneventful voy-
age across the Atlantic, but almost
Immediately after a formal exchange
OF greetings with the British naval Of
ficials, put to sea again for the hard
work that is before it.
A crowd Of. several hundred per-
sons, some Of them carrying tiny
American flags, lined the water front
and cheered the destroyers from the
moment they sighted the flotilla until
1t reached the dock. The crowd
cheered again, when a few minutes
later the American senior officer
came ashore to greet the British Sc
nior officer and Wesley Frost, the
American consul, who had come
down to the dock to welcome the flo.
tilla. Everything was done in a sim
pie, businesslike manner. There was
an entire absence of formality.
The commander of the British flo-
tilla was waiting on board his ship
and sent wireless greetings to- the

congratulated the American officers
on their safe voyage. he asked:
when will you be ready for bust

This response, so characteristically
American, surprised the British com.
mander, who said he had not expect.
ed the Americans would be ready to
begin work on this side so soon after
their long voyage. When he had re-

The equipment on board the de.
stroyer was found to be in excellent
condition and remarkably we'll suited
to the requirements on this side of
the ocean. In fact, It was said by
the British officer that the only thing
lacking in the equipment of the Amer
ican sailors, was heavier clothing. 1t
appears that the Americans were
wearing clothing too light for the
varying conditions of weather they
will encounter in these waters. This
lack, however, was quickly provided

FORMER MAINE WOMAN
7. GETTING men TO ENLIST
IN U. 5. HOSPITAL CORPS

A former Maine woman, Mrs. Grace
A. Wentworth Of New York city is
passing two weeks in this city and is
making a special effort to get young
men to enlist in the United States
Naval Hospital Corps. Although she
is not employed by the Government to
do this work she takes great interest
in it because Of the fact that her son
C. E. Wentworth, is on recruiting
duty at the Naval hospital at Chelsea
Mass, where he holds a position as
first class hospital boy. He went into
this line of work about six years ago
at which time he was a student at
Oak Grove Seminary at Vassalboro.
Mrs. Wentworth is anxious to get a
good number Of boys from Maine to
enlist in that line Of service, as well as
several young physicians. The young
men for the hospital corps should be
between the ages Of IS and rs, unmar
ried, and should have had at least two
years OF High school education. If
after trial one finds that he is not fitted
for that line of work he can be trans
ferred to other branches. If he does
not care to adopt the navy as a career
after serving his enlistment Of four
years, the training he has received will
quality him as first aid man for
many positions that are opening up
in the industrial establishments
| throughout the country.
Many advantages are offered to
young men entering the Navy Hospital
Corps. In addition to the excellent
opportunity afforded the ambitious
man to gain rapid promotion in the
hospital corps itself up to and in
Guiding the warrant and commissioned
ranks Of pharmacists and chief phar-
macist, further opportunity is pre-
scented to qualify by examination for
the day corps OF the navy in the war
rant grade of paymasters' clerk Or the
commissioned grade Of assistant pay
master. An opportunity to enter the
Naval Academy and become an officer
of the line or other corps Is also open.
Under existing law 100 enlisted men
may be selected by competitive ex-

Mrs. Wentworth is very enthusiastic
over her prospects of getting a good
number of young men from this State
to enlist in the Naval Hospital Corps.
The work of getting young men to
enlist in this service is certainly a
novel line for a woman to undertake
but Mrs. Wentworth has great love
for the work and in doing it shows
her patriotism. She will talk the mat
ter over with all young men interested
and during her stay in the city her
headquarters will be at the Cony
House Young men who go into this
line Of service will go for enlistment
to the United States Naval hospital at
Chelsea, Mass.
