and crimes of Germany. OF this he
said
There is such a thing as a Grim
mai nation. We have never realized
this before but now the idea is be-
ginning to dawn on us. Our vision
has been limited to criminal indi-
Niduals, criminal communities and
criminal sections, but never to an en-
pre- nor a nation. And now we must
punish this criminal nation" he near
~ shouted. Let the kaiser stand up
his trained fighting automatons. We
will shoot them, Kill them and march
to victory, flying the flag of peace
and freedom from the very portals
of the criminal nation"
Then came the talk of the cam
paign itself. The Rev. Mr.. KuIp gave
an eloquent dissertation about the
dollar and its message. "A dollar is
not sordid thing" said he. 1T is
the message of the dollar that counts.
1t may be blazing with the burning
fire of hate or it may be shining with
the light Of love and sympathy. The
Jingle Of the dollar, too, takes an
another tune. 1t may be clinking
with a tune of hymn for common
good or it may be jangling to the tune
of hatred and misuse.
Dollars of Red Cross.
These dollars in the neutral cof-
fers of the Red Cross will sing a song
of happiness, of comfort and of cheer.
They will sound the death knell of
the dynasties of the world and they
will sing the song of resurrection to
the wounded soldiers.
Then, too, these same dollars made
into plowshares, will pillow path
across the ocean path of safety and
a path of commerce. Then they will,
also. pillow the lands of Europe to re-
ceive the seeds of democracy.
As the meeting drew to a close, the
$50 workers realized that thanks were
due generally. The leaders of the Red
Cross campaign, the Rev. DR.. kulp,
d. W. Mulvane, Horace Hall and II.
ID. Curtis, were all thanked. Then in
turn the leaders thanked the captains
f,r their cooperation and service and
then the captains passed the vote OF
thanks TO the workers of each team.
The women who aided in the cam
paicn were given n unanimous vote
az thanks for their. work and efforts
The press and the public and the bust
ness houses were all thanked and con-
ssratulated in the same breath.
Marco Morrow read an original
wa poem.
George McDermott one of the
workers, made motion that the
workers Of the campaign VINO have
had the privilege TO hear Doctor Kulp

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, June 6.-WHEAT-Some re-
newal of uncertainty as to the outcome Of
food legislation in Washington tended to-
day to give an appearance of strength to
the wheat market. Trade however, was so
small that efforts to trace general causes
of fluctuations proved difficult. Opening
prices, which varied from unchanged fig
ures to lie higher with July nominal and
September at $1.S5 to $1.S6, were followed
by a moderate upturn and then q setback
to yesterdays closing level.
Reports that farmers in Texas were be-
binning most of their wheat soon it
was threshed attracted notice, but were
more than offset later by word that cutting
of wheat had started at several places in
Kansas. The close was steady lie net
lower, with July at 500 and September
at $1S4.
CORN-Corn~ declined sharply owing to
better weather for the growing crop. Spec
ulatfve traders pressed the selling side.
After opening NC to &c lower the market
underwent an additional sag.
Assertions that neutral countries might
not be allowed to take out any OF the corn
they had bought in the United States led
to Il further drop, the close was heavy at
losses, 2Ac to 3Ac net.
OATS-Prohibition features of the food
control bill had depressing effect on oats
PROVISIONS-Lowerq quotations on hogs
weakened provisions.

The inquiry for rails assumed wider pro-
portions later embracing many low grade
issues. Chief among these, at gains of
to IL points, were Rock Island, NJ. p.
preferred, Chicago, Great Western pre-
ferred, and Denver & Rio Grande, preferred
Western Maryland and the southwestern
group in general. Representative rails,
ike Z. P, st. Paul, L. & N. and minor
coalers advanced 1 to 81 points. Mean
while industrials, including equipments,
became more unsettled. Z. S. steel re-
acted over a point with crucible and Bald
win locomotive. The motors, industrial al
cohol and Ohio gas made extreme recess
sions of 2h to 6% points. Bonds ranged
slightly lower, the liberty issue, however,
holding at par.
Rails were again the stable features of to-
days early operations, recording gains
points, while other divisions of the list
were irregular or heavy. Ohio gas lost
almost six points, presumably in connec-
ton with its new financing, crucible steel
fell a point and Studebaker ~ while
General Motors gained 2. United States
sues were firm. Peoples gas made fur
ther recovery of 21a points and Pacific
mail led the shippings. Metals and minor

AuStrO-G German Attacks
Are Not Successful Along
Italian Front Today

Rome, Dec. 20.-Enemy offensives
proved successful at several points on
the Italian front, according to official
statements of the war office today.
"The enemy attacked at Tasson and
Coldellerso, but was driven back COM
pletely with severe losses" it was
announced.
H'Heayy artillery action on the part
Of Teutonic forces marked the fighting
in the Concei valley. The enemy at
tackled a redoubt but their attempt to
occupy the position was unsuccessful
"a Teutonie attack on an advanced
post at Sassorosso was repulsed and a
few prisoners were taken"
Several hostile attempts were made
to cross between the Piave and Vecchia,
but were frustrated. The Sairors
bridgehead at Cortellazzo was made the
object of an enemy attack but the as
sailants were driven back with a loss
of $50 prisoners.

DAMAGES BY FLOOD
Being INVESTIGATED
Street Chairman Elliott Finds
Small Bridges Gone and
Damage to Sidewalks

Councilman Elliott, chairman of the
committee on streets, in company with
street commissioner Walter Lowe, made
tour of inspection this morning in
order to get an idea of the work of
the storm in its relation to city prop
erty. They report damages as follows:
Piling gone out from Winter Street
bridge on carline to the depot. Traffic
is kept up on this line despite this. An
empty car was taken over the weak
ened bridge this morning and trans
fer is made, passengers being compelled
to walk across the bridge. The foot
bridge across the creek leading from
Oak street to the Southern Pacific
depot went out yesterday 1t was swept
down against the Capitol street bridge
which it succeeded in washing ont.
One Of the cement piers in center of
Mission street bridge has settled con-
siderably, but the extent of the damage
cannot be learned until the flood waters
abate.
A small bridge is out on 22nd or 23d
streets north of the Browning house on
the Turner road The culvert on 18th
near the Associated Oil plant went out.
The wagon and foot bridge on Cross
street are both gone.
On Mission street a great hole has
been washed in the gravel, how big
cannot be told until the water recedes.
In addition to these there are miles
and miles of sidewalks that have been,
or are still float Some of these set
tied back nearly where they belonged
while others went wandering around in
all kinds of inconceivable places. In
one place the sidewalk lifted from the
front of the premises, floated back
against the house and then swept
around stopping just right to make a
fine walk from the kitchen door to
the chicken house.
The water was still flowing a foot
deep down Cross street when the Of
ficials visited that section this morn
ing.

| In regard to the messages the Argen-

"The kilograms which appear below
are all that the Argentine ministry for
foreign afafirs received from the en-
bassy in Washington of which the trans
lations were made by the department of
state in the United States. There are
three kilograms not published, as they
allude solely to the republics of Chile
and Uruguay. The government has de-
cided that it should not publish these
kilograms and has delivered them to
the respective chancellories.
''The kilograms show number of in
accuracies so surprising that no epithet
will fill them, as they are at complete
variance, both in substance and form,
with the terms in which the negotia-
tions were entered into, carried on and
brought to a conclusion.
Following are the messages texallv:
