lei pressure OF all neutrals on Germany
and the Teuton allies in tho last des-
perate effort to ward off the fatal u
boat blow that may mean war.
Il cannot bring myself to believe. y
the president declared today, that
they (the German authorities) will pay
no regard to the ancient friendship be-
tween their people and our own.
only some actual overt act in their
ruthless naval program" would make
him believe II now, he added.
But should this pressure Of neutrals
TAIL and an American life or ship be
sacrificed, the president fatty declared
the consequences would fall quickly
and heavily on the shoulders Of the i'm
perial German government.
LOSS OF THE HouSAToNic.
In the face of these statements,
which turned open the presidents mind
to the world. came with terrific sud
denness the message that an Ameri-
can steamer-the Housatonic - had
been sunk by a Teutonic torpedo.
The sinking of the Housatonic
caused a realignment of official ideas.
Should confidence on my part in
the prudent foresight" of Germany's
purpose "unhappily prove unfounded."
President Wilson had declared, with
deep earnestness, and " American
ships and American lives should in
fact be sacrificed in needless contra
vention Of Just and reasonable usages
Of International law and the obvious
dictates Of humanity. / shall take the
liberty Of coming again before congress
to ask authority to use any means nee
essary for the protection of our sea-
men and our people In the prosecution
of peaceful and legitimate errands."
This utterance sprung to mind and
stood out above all others In the presi-
dents address following news of the
Housatonic's sinking.
IN DESPERATE STRAITS.
All officialdom had hoped-even the
president-but few believed that Ger
many. in her last avowedly desperate
attempt would not go forward with
her declared intentions.
The imperial German govern
ment, it was believed. would never
have undertaken "wilful prosecu-
ton" of her new sea campaign
unless goaded by the most COM
polling circumstances circum-
stances that in themselves must
show her desperate straits.
Taesc same circumstances appeared
tonight to have held Il relentless hand
on the German wheel of state as to
whether or not the Teuton course
leads to war with the United States.
News Of the sinking of the Housa-
tonic caused II profound sensation in all
circles.

Chicago. June 13.-The Herald says:
Sunshine and warmer weather made a
bearish feeling among traders in coarse
grains yesterday. Many, however, were
long on the bulge following the early
break and were active buyers OF BIDS

onerators who have been bullish sold
out on the bulge and said the bull edge h

TRADE STAYS In
NARROW CHANNEL
Fluctuations in the Main, are
Meaningless Greater
Supplies Found

Chicago, June 13.-Wheat: Trade
continues very narrow and fluctuations
in the main are meaningless. Foreign
reports reflect greater supplies than
expected early, but the needs are enor-
nous, due to generally poor crops and
reduced acreage. In this country crop
outlook is a little better. Rains have
improved the outlook in Canada. Cash
premiums are easily maintained and
there is no pressure to sell. On the
other hand, new wheat will soon be on
the market and this must be taken into
consideration.
Corn: Prices were a little lower
early, but later turned strong on re-
ports of a good export inquiry. Cash
prices were strong, which caused some
covering by shorts. Country sales are
moderate. Buying of December has
been active as well as in the old crop
futures. The market responds quickly
to buying and it becomes oversold
oats: oats were firm after a little
weakness early. The cash trade is good
with good export inquiry reported,
while the domestic demand is slow.
Strength in corn continues to be re-
hected in free buying of oats, while
the July buying has been of especially
good character.
Provisions: Fluctuations in prices
have been moderate. Hogs were steady
to 10 cents higher and there is not
much prospect for much heavier hogs
receipts from now on while the cash
situation is healthy. aat

over of the state road in Kurtz town
ship on the quarter line of section 20.
This was done at the afternoon session
Of the board after the commissioners
had viewed the several pieces of road
under consideration.
In order that the road work may be
pushed through before harvest, it was
decided to pay the 5 cents an hour bo--
nus to men on regular pay days instead
of waiting until the end of the season.
This will keep the full force Of men at
work until the men and teams are
needed in the harvest fields, when it is
planned to suspend road work for the
year. The rate of pay established at
the beginning of the season was rs
cents an hour for men and a bonus of
s cents an hour to those who worked
through the season. This is now made
80 cents an hour straight, and the pay
of men and teams so cents an hour in
stead of as cents and a scent bonus.
