st. Paul. Jan. 3.-Johnny Ertle,
claimant Of the bantamweight title
though not an American citizen, makes
no claim for exemption on this ground
in his answered QUESTIONABLE. Ertle
was born in Austria Hungary in 1896

there and fight for Germany's ally.
Though the board has made no final
decision Ertle will probably not have \
chance to fight for America, and as he
doesn't want to fight for Austria he
will probably remain a non-combatent,

GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago. Jan. 3.-suspension OF rail-
road priority orders had a bullish in
fluence today In the corn market, as
the trade seemed to think it would d.
minish the movement Of corn to mar
ket. Buying, however, did not become
at all aggressive. Opening prices
which ranged from unchanged figures
10 h@Ac higher. with January 31.2s&
on and May. 31.2AA to y, were fol-
lowed by slight reaction and then q
moderate general advance.
Agitation for higher maximum
price limit counted later against any
important setback. Tho close was Arm,
&c to INC net higher, with January
1927 and May SLASH @1.26k Ia
$l.25x.
Oats paralleled tho action in corn.
At first. however, the market was easy
owing to absence Of any fresh expor,
demand.
Increased hog receipts tended ia
weaken provisions. Besides, the month.
iy statement Of warehouse stocks veri.
fed bearish forecasts.

Would Give Soldiers
Jobs in Mail Service

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Many con-
gressmen are beginning to wonder II
1t would not be a good thing to give
returning soldiers employment in
the Post Office Department.
The inefficient handling of the
mails has been occasioning endless
complaints for months, but it was
explained that it was a war condi-
ton and any protest was unpatrio-
tic. Complaints about the mail SER
vice are nationwide, and are grow
ing in volume.
It is said that much of the trou-
BILE is due to an unreasonable econ
omy which cuts down the number of
clerks to the point where good serv-
ice is out of the question.
