ed upon our people during the past
year needs be announced than the re.

wheat has been as high as 1925 at
Chicago and the price OF -four has
been from time to time based upon
this speculative price OF wheat, so that
through one evil cause or another, the
consumer has suffered from so to 100

so that in a great measure the Amer

Judgment and is without voice.
Furthermore. in normal circum-
stance, u. S. and Canadian wheat is
moved to Europe largely in the fall
months. such shipments averaging
about forty million bushels per month
and relieving a corresponding flow
from the farms into the interior ter
minals. This year. owing to the short
age of shipping the allied supplies
must proceed over a large period OF
the year and will not. during the fall
months, apparently average over TWEEN

I'VE must, therefore. expect a glut
in our interior terminals during a con-
siderable period. The financial re-
sources of the grain trade are prob
ably insufficient to carry this extra
load without the help of spectators
and, moreover, the consolidation Of
practically all foreign buying in the
hands of the allied buyer has further

export wheat will be dictated by a

br eadstuffs has passed into the hands
OF spectators; for someone must buy

- With great reduction in the
consumption of wheat bread now for

Senator Johnson of California scath-

a premium on the ability of the great
corporations to boodwink and exploit

this war was made unpopular it would
be because of the finance committees

BAD AMMUNITION FOUND
WITH PERSHING'S MEN

WASHINGTON - A third of the
ammunition supplied to General Perish
ing's expeditionary troops has proved
to be faulty, it is officially learned
When originally tested at the Frank
fort arsenal at Philadelphia, where
the ammunition was made, it was found
to be good. The deterioration is due
to inferior chemical used afterwards
rendering the cartridges useless.
