THIN OUT GERMAN TROOPS
Enemy Wastage in the Spring Cam
paign Has Been Greater Than
the Allies Had Hoped for,
Unofficial Report
SAYS.

Ottawa, June 1.-The German
army on the Western front at the
end of May, according to calculations
set forth in an unofficial estimate re-
ceived here today from Canadian
army headquarters in France, con-
sisted of I57 I-2 divisions of which
Io7 I-2 were holding the line with the
other fifty in reserve. Estimated on
the minimum and maximum reckon
ings of thirteen thousand and twenty
thousand troops to a division, this
would indicate the presence OF from,
2,o47,s 500 to $4,000 troops. OF
these from Csc, 900 to I million would
be in the reserve.
"Of the fifty reserve divisions, thir-
ty-three are exhausted troops with
drawn from the front after a period
of service there" the dispatch adds.
more than half of the divisions at
the front probably are in need of rest
After the heavy fighting of the past
two months on the various parts OF
the line more than thirty divisions
were withdrawn from German trench
es facing the British front.
This wastage is greater than had
been hoped for when the campaign
opened. 1t must be remembered that
German divisions are now reduced in
numbers, a few battalions having
more than seven hundred men. The
battalions on the Western front
probably do not muster more than l
million bayonets available for hold
ing trenches. This, of course, is ex-
elusive of artillery, army service,
transport and auxiliary troops"

Wolfe and Talbert for services at the
cemetery. The assistance rendered
by all these and by others, made the
afternoon pleasant occasion for the
surviving old soldiers present, and
they feel grateful that the day was
made pleasant and successful by out
side help.
The parade of children, led by Mrs.
Ed Smith, assisted by Mrs. Anna Os-
borne, was large, orderly and beauti-
full, with each one carrying bunch
OF flowers. They were followed by
the old soldiers, but the long march
to the cemetery was too much for
most of them and only five made the
march: Sylvester Dent, George Mat
thews, David Jennings, VIM. Yeats
and Hess Williams. The 'old veter-
ans are not "slackers," but age is
telling on them, and as their ranks
thin their energies flag.
Many out of town people were Wis
itors at the cemetery and the abun-
dance of flowers everywhere made
our well kept cemetery really charm
ing. Many fingered about the graves
of their departed loved ones, visiting
with sympathizing friends from other
sections of the county or from other
cities. So Decoration Day has. come
to mean as much to nearly all our
people, as to the survivors of the. war.

FATHER SAYS BABY Is GET
TING GOOD CARE
Denies Information as. to. Where
abouts of Kidnapped Child.

Springfield. Mo-. June Al. Hol-
land keet in statement made pub
lie late this afternoon admitted that
he had received information leading
him to believe that his baby son,
Lloyd, who was kidnapped from the
keet- home last Wednesday night, is
being well taken care of. He denies
having information as to the baby S
whereabouts.
The statement followed what it APP
peared early in the day would be a
sensational turn in the case. The
first act of Judge Arch A. johnson OF
the criminal court when he went to
the court house this morning was to
notify close friends of Keet that the
authorities felt they had held off long
enough from an active search for the
kidnapers and that various rumors
untraceable, but persistent. demand
ed that Rect convince Judge Johnson
that they were without foundation.
keet was hurriedly called down.
town and all forenoon was spent in
conference with his friends, after
which he conferred with Judge john
son. Later Judge Johnson an
nounced that Keet had convinced
him his plans to ransom the baby
should not be interfered with and
that there was no ground for the
rumors, but that Keet had agreed
that in order to quiet them, the best
course would be the issuance by him
of statement to the public, telling
as clearly as possible the develop
ments since the stealing of the child,
without compelling the father to d.
vulge secrets he felt might cause the
abductors to avenge the thwarting OF
their plans to collect ransom by
killing their infant captive.

mills is precisely the same as that for
a run on the bsnk-furnish the goods,
quickly; meet the demand with a sup
ply. The transportation companies
by providing facilities can accom-
plish this. II is useless to say that
cars are needed for other purposes;
the food question is Of first necessity,
taking precedence over everything
else in point Of its national impor-
lance.
Furthermore, when the buyers see
that they can get the -four they have
ordered they will not want a large
mart o. it; they will reassure their
frightened customers and the sense

Nine-tenths of the trouble, 1t IS
suggested, can easily be corrected by
the government; first. by eliminating
or regulating adverse crop reports
and. second, by cooperation with the
Allies in buying for future delivery.
The Allies must be supplied with all
the wheat they require, but it cannot
all come from current supplies, and
if would be better, "The Northwest
ern Miller" believes, to keep out Of
the market until the new supplies
are actually in hand, instead Of ere
ating alarm by heavy purchases OF
futures.
Still another suggestion for al
leviating the situation, which how
ever, is rather too fantastic and
speculative to receive serious con-
sideration from the authorities Is
for the government to go into the
wheat market and sell wheat con-
sistently and steadily in large guam
titles, putting up the necessary mar
gins; the result would De Immediate

Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Quiet has prevailed in the foreign
exchange market during the last week,
with dealings slackening as the United
States government-Allied war finance
programme has been taking more def
mite form. Exchange rates on all of
the Allied countries have been more
or less under the influence of the
credits granted or about to be granted.
The actual transfer Of s200,000,000 to
the British government account tended
20 impart frmness TO sterling rates,
which have been maintained steadily.
The bankers are still exercising an
arbitrary control over the sterling mar
ket, with the result that favorable or
unfavorable developments, as the case
may be, fail to reflect in any sharp
rate changes. There have been no gold
imports during the last week, making
il nearly a month now since the move
ment was halted.
Italian exchange has held most Of
the improvement made in the last fort
night, and it is possible that the pend
ing credit that this country is to grant
70 Italy, which has already been dis
counted TO some extent. will have still
further favorable effect OH the lire
rate. Italian lire are now quoted
around 800 to the 500 in American
currency, against recent low Of 100
to 500 and q normal value of SIS. Rus
sian rubles have been heavy most Of
the week, apparently as a result of
the reported military reverses OF the
Russian front. The peace rumors
cmansting from German and Scandi-
navian quarters appear TO have been
without important effect on Russian
exchange.
Japan is still drawing gold out Of
The United States, and in the last eight
months has taken approximately s45,-
100000 in payment of the balance Of
trade in her favor. Exchange rates
strongly favor large gold exports from
this country TO Japan, but such a
movement has been checked at the sug-
gestion of Japanese financial authori-
ties. They have pointed out the fallacy
of shipping gold TO Japan. when the
country has all it can profitably use at
the present time.
Since the appointment OF the group
