CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
 DIRECTORS GIVEk POWER
To Act for Best interests of Country
 During the War.

Chicago, July 19.-Members of the board of trade, recognizing a national emergency, voted today to delegate full powers to the board of directors to take action, at any time during the war, which it may deem to the best in terests of the board and of the coun- try
 President Griffin in explaining the proposition insisted that the directors must have power to take instant action and to make unusual regulations, or else face the possibility of having the board closed.
 The directors on several occasions in the last three months have fixed maxi munrn prices for grains when prices were shooting skyward- under un- bridled speculation. While these reg ulations were not called into question in the courts, some doubt was ex- pressed as to the authority of the directors in the premises. Today's vote settles the legality of any such actions in the future, it was said.
 Several minor propositions, inciud- ing a clearing house for trades, also passed.

Expected That Many Aliens Will Apply
 for Their First Papers.

It is regarded as at least a prospect here that there may be many applica- tions for first papers from aliens whose numbers are called up early in the draft that they may have an oppor- tunity of joining the colors and fight ing for Uncle Sam.
 There is an especially strong feel ing in favor of this country among the alien Greeks, which race will be repre- scented in the army, providing the alien Greeks which race will be represented in the army, providing their numbers are among the first drawn, for there are a number registered iii this dis trfct who have taken out first pap ers therefore being in line for fight ing service.
 If drawings are made at Washing ton today and the numbers are tele- graphed to the local exemption board promptly, notice to the 23S individu- als who are first to be called will be sent out at once, so that the hearings on exemptions may be held on Thurs day, Friday and Saturday of next week, but this will depend on what is done in Washington. The local board is ready to proceed.
