by Italians.

neutrality-suspicious. of The ASCOT

forces or the mountain front are in
the best of condition. The winter
months have been utilized in
strengthening the defenses and rein
forcing lines Of works until the whole
region is interlaced with powerful
systems of defense and attack. There
are vast stores Of guns and ammuni-

OF confidence and eagerness for an
approaching conflict in the mountain
regions.
General Plummer. commander of

sections of the Russian and Rumani-

This enemy concentration has been
going on steadily for months and the
italian and allied forces have also
made powerful preparations for the
coming campaign. /.
The main cause for this shifting OF
attention from the Piave to the noun
tain line is Of a strategic character.
The Italian front has two main
branches. one running n%orthward
from the Adriatic at a. point twelve
miles east OF Venice: and h other
turning westward across the noun
tain regions and running irregulariy
up to the Swiss frontier. When the
enemy made his rush last fall the first
pressure was felt along the Piave as
the enemy swept In from the east.

CORN PRICES
RAISED TODAY
Unsettled Cooler Weather
Causes Increase in
Market.

Chicago. May 2O.-Corn prices de-
veloped strength today owing largely
to unsettled cooler weather adverse to
rapid progress in planting. Selling
pressure was light and the market
advanced readily on scattered buying
orders from commission houses. Some
bullish sentiment was due to the large
percentage Of damaged corr in cur
rent arrivals. Opening prices. which
ranged from 1-8 cent lower to 1-2
cent advance, with May 1927 ga and
July S1.40 ga to 1.41, were followed
by material gains.
Congestion in the May delivery
frightened up the oats market in gen.
eral. Demand, however, was confined
chiefly to small lots. After opening
is cent off to 1-4@3-8 cents up. with
July &C SIS to &C 3-4@7-8, the market
continued to harden.
Provisions rose with hogs. Arrivals
at the yards here were less numerous
than had been looked for.
Huge exports of meats stimulated
considerable buying but In the late
trading demand fell off and some
thing of a reaction followed.
Corn No. 2 yellow 1.72; No. 3 yell
low LES to 1.67: No. 4 yellow LAT.
Oats No. 3 white 70 Ia to 70; stands

Subsequently, a decrease in the Wis

against the bears. The close was
strong. at the same as Saturdays fin
