remembered that if there are fewer

is not wise to carry reduction to the
point where people have to stand in

longer trains, and slow up the sched-

The American boys destroyed con-

spot got to the third line. But it is
most important that the Germans
should be kept in ignorance as to just
where this was, or they might under

at home, someone might tell.
Maybe the attacks were not in the
St. Michels salient at all, but, as one
newspaper says, were far to the south
east Of there, directly east of Lune-
vile from Neuviller and Badonviller.
If this was so, it would be fatal to have
the Germans discover the fact. This
is self evident.
The Germans, of course, have a fair
knowledge of French geography. They
can tell barrage when they see it,

TRADING RULES
AFFECTS GRAINS
Corn Was Leader Early, But
Could Not Hold the Pace.
Oats Sympathize

Chicago April 5.-Corn today resumed
the leadership of grain, advanced in an
ticipation of bullish effects looked for
from trading rule amendments to be
voted on tomorrow. Upturns in value,
however, were not well maintained
Prices closed unsettled, * to &c net
higher, with May s1.2sas Oats finished
n to nc off. and provisions down 70
to 45c.
Belief that new style contracts, which
the proposed changes in rules would
permit, might open the way for de-
cided advance of prices, gave the corn
market strength almost from the outset.
Much of the buying was on the theory
that the present form of contracts would
rise promptly to the maximum limit,
SIPS a bushel, as soon as new style bar
gains were authorized. Besides, any lib
erai movement of corn soon from rural
sources did not appear likely. Toward
the end of the session, though, little
notice taken of gossip about peace ne
gotiations counted as something of an
offset.
Oats were subjected to persistent COM
mission house selling after an advance
due to continuance of seaboard demand
Favorable weather and reports of an in
creased car supply in some sections were
bearish factors in addition to peace talk.
Provisions fell on account of sharp
break in the hog market.
