Chicago Grain.

Chicago Grain.
 Chicago, July 23.-Corn showed a tendency to harden in value today owing largely to scantiness of re- serve stocks and to continued urgent nemand for supplies available for immediate use. Influential selling on bulges however, served to check any rsdlcal advance. Opening prices which ranged from the same as Sat urday's finish to 5-Sc higher with September at $163 to $1.63 IA ane December at $1.16 1-4 to $1.16k were followed by something of a setback put then by a fresh moderate upturn.
 Later the September option ad vanced to the highest level yet his season.
 Receipts here were small and so too were rural offerings. The close was nervous. Is to i-Sc net higher. at $1.63 3-4 September. and s1.16 3-4 to SLY December.
 New advances in the price of wheat resulted from the senate vote favorable to quotation of g at pri- mary centers and from the bullish crop outlook in North Dakota and Canada. After opening 1c to 1 1,4c hiSAer at $2SG July, and $2.2s Sen. tenbsr, the market scored Nrthsr gains.

Tabloid History of Russia
RUSSIA MAKES AND BREAKS ALLIANCES WITH THE WEST
ERN NATIONS, AND SELLS ALASKA TO UNITED STATES

Liberty dawned in Russia with
the reign of Alexander I. and the
nineteenth century.
Alexander abolished serfdom in
the Baltic provinces.
He joined the third coalition
against the growing power of
France. Defeated, he allied him
self anew with Prussia, but was
decisively defeated by Napoleon at
Friedland in 1907.
Then he entered into Napoleon's
schemes, for which he was allowed
a free hand with Sweden and Tur-
key.
Breaks With Napoleon
He wrested Finland from
Sweden in 1909 and Bessarabia
from Turkey in 1912.
He then broke with Napoleon,
who marched into Russia and de-
vastated Moscow, but was forced
to retreat in disaster. Then Alex
ander took the lead In the final
European coalition which over
threw the French dictator.
Peace that followed the Napo-
leonic wars gave Russia all that
remained of Poland.
In the meantime Russia had
conquered northern Caucasia from
the Georgians and Persians.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-03-31

Humanitarian hopes, raised in
the early days of Alexander, were
disappointed toward the end of his
reign.
Persia Invaded
His younger brother assumed
the throne in 1926 as Nicholas l.,
although adherents of an elder
brother, Constantine, who had re-
nounced the succession, caused
some trouble.
Persia was invaded in 1926, and
part of Armenia, a Turkish prov
ince, was annexed.
In successive attacks on Turkey,
Russia obtained control of what is
now Rumania, and compelled the
independence of Greece.
A Polish revolt was crushed in
1880. Poland was treated as a
conquered state.
Sets Serfs Free
In 1884 pacification of the eau
casus was begun, which was to
require 80 years. In 1853, as a
result of the Crimean war, Russia
relinquished her protectorate over
Rumania, and the Black sea was
neutraliZed.
Nicholas son, Alexander H., en-
throned in 1855, set all serfs free,
and entered seriously on the task
OF Outstanding Siberia and cen
trail Asia. Russian rule in the pre-
ceding century had extended into
Alaska, which was sold to the
United States in 1867.
In 1870 Russia resumed her
hostile attitude toward Turkey,
with the tacit consent of the Eu-
ropean powers. At the same time
she extended her growth to the
shores of the Pacific in China and
Korea movement which was to
bring her into war with Japan.

Million Words
In I.W.W. Case


SEATTLE, March 81.-With all
the evidence in for the state, the
I. w. w. trial adjourned last night
until Monday morning. The de-
Tense will open at that time.
George F. Vanderveer, one of
the attorneys for Thomas Tracy,
the defendant now ON trial as the
first of "A l. w. WIS accused of
numbering Jefferson Beard, a citi-
zen deputy at Everett, Nov. s, now
estimates that the case for the
defense can be shortened to two
weeks. 1t may go to the jury in
the latter part of April.
Some idea of the volume of
work that the trial means, is given
by the fact that the daily tran
script of testimony has averaged
more than 200 typewriter pages.
The complete transcript of the
states case fills 5000 pages and
contains 100000 words.
