 Chicago, Feb. 1.--Peace gossip had q tearish inuence today on the corn market Reports that Austria had made repeated advances to President Wilson were given special notice in this connection. Many traders made broad differences also on the basis of the presidents letter referring tu the outlook for 1918. Opening prices which ranged from Is to 1-4c lower, with March not quoted and May $1.25 to $125 Is. were followed by decid' cd further setback.
 Weakness in oats resulted largely from enlarged country offerings. Be- sides exports bids had ceased. both from the East and from the Gulf. Af- ter opening IA to 1-2 to 5-S down With May 70 7-S to 80 Is cents, the market underwent a sharp additional break.
 Priyisions averaged hiher, appar- ently ewing to optimism rearding peace changes. Lower quotations on hogs we're almost ignored.

PIGEON TRAINER
WRITES GARY FOLKS

Mr.. and Mrs, Andrew Block, living at
$50 Polk street. Gary, have received a
letter from their soldier boy. Corporal
Charles Block. a trained pigeon man IN
the signal corps. He writes that he is
well and expects soon to be home.
The interesting story was told in THE
TIMES recently Of Corporal Block and his
trained pets. the pigeons. 1t ran like
this.
Corporal Charles Block OF Gary. one
of the American army's trained pigeon
men and one Of his pigeons saved a
mans life.
1T happened in the days before the st.
MihIel salient was wiped out and while
the Americans were holding the 4-year-
old line before S~eicheprey. 1t was an
ink black night. but %patrolling was
necessary. and a little group of dough-
boys crawled over the parapet. through
the wire. and out into No Mans land
Corporal Block carried a pigeon basket
on his back. The light wicker carrier
fitted between his shoulders and he
scarcely noticed the weight Of IL. Cor
poral Block. the man with the pigeon
basket. was assigned to go to the right
Of the main patrol body. with the under
standing that the entire unit would peet
at a specified place at a certain time.
But a barrage came down. The boche
heard the movement and turned loose
artillery. The lone American boy Block
was cut of. To escape the barrage he
was compelled to take cover in a posi-
ton from which he knew escape was
impossible. A single American moving

there would De certain to bring ~outposts
upon him. A strong force could fight
the outposts off, or possibly get back to
Its lines without combat because enemy
%outposts would not care TO start trouble
with superior numbers.
Corporal Block thought these things
over. Then he thought of the pigeon in
his basket He scrubbed a note giving
his position and asking assistance. This
he slipped into the little aluminium mes
sag box on the pigeons leg. The bird
dew away.
Ten minutes later a patrol was ap-
preaching the stranded Americans po-
sition. Five minutes more and he was
on his way pack TO the lines with his
endorsements.
How did you find out where I was7'
Block asked the patrol leader. as they
climbed back over the parapet to safety.
Pigeon message" came the response.
well, I'll be darned just PLAYED
that as an outside bet. and didn't hope
to win. Block countered. but III sure
hang close to those pigeons from now
on
What happened was that when the
pigeon was released from the Americans
hiding place near the boche lines. it
tew straight to it's cote near division
headquarters. The message was quickly
read, and regimental headquarters call
ed on the telephone. Regimental head
quarters called the post In the
front line. and within a couple OF min
utes the patrol was scrambling out to
the rescue of Corporal Block"
