Corn Dips to New Low Level, Then Rallies
on PrafIt Taking hy Shorta.

Chicago, Aug. 30.--Corn today found q
aew low level. but recovered and closed

due to the fact that victories in Europe
are regarded as bearish and to the big dis
count Of the No. S grades In the sample
market. which declined S@l0c and were

The closing rally was due to profit taking
by shorts. Cash houses generally were

the movements were nervous and terky.

"2REARRANGED"
PLAN SURPRISES
TEUTON OFFICER
Peculiar Light Thrown Upon
German Assertions by
War Correspondents
Story From Front.

Amsterdam, Aug. 30.--Pecuiiaf
light on the reiterated German as
sertions that the retreat of the Teu-
ton forces on the western front was
prearranged and carried out accord
ing to plan without undue haste, is
cast by A. S. Meyer, war correspond
ent of the Essen Allgemeine Zeitung,
who gives an account of his visit to
high staff officer of General Won
Hutier's army. to whom he was re-
ferred for information.
"ln the midst of the officers ex-
planatory statement" said Meyer,
the telephone rang and news came
that the enemy had rushed in on the
left flank of the army of Won Der
Marwitz and that his right flank was
endangered. A sudden stream of
telephone orders directed the retire
ment and the officers story was cut
short.
Hutier Hurries Away.
"We had to leave hurriedly. We
we're to lunch with General Won
Hutier, but during the luncheon the
telephone never ceased ringing and
Won Hutier himself was hurriedly
called away by young orderly, who
was to have given us the rest Of the
story"
AS the correspondent does not
produce it, the assumption seems to
be justified that there was no story
that day. Such incidents do not pre-
vent Karl Rosner, generally consid-
cred the press agent Of Emperor VIII
liam, from declaring that superior
leadership and skill still are on the
German side, and the LokaI Anzeiger
of Berlin finds it necessary to print
in large cross column type this as
sertion from Rosner:
Further developments may be
awaited with complete calm"
Hysterical Appeals.
On the other hand. General Won
Salzmann, writing in the Vossische
Zeitung. makes hysterical appeals to
Germans to set their teeth and to
carry on. The German public. who so
often has been told that France was
at its last gasp, are now asked by
General Salzmann to remember that
the boundless resources of the en-
tente powers lie at Frances back and
that even the capture of Paris and
Calais would not change that fact and
would not bring France to its knees.
IF we possessed those resources"
Salzmann exclaimed. "the Germans
would long ago have been victors in
Paris and all over the world"
An illuminating insight into Teu-
tonic mentality is provided by the
Cologne Volks Zeitung, which. Ia
menting the terrible bloodshed and de-
struction caused by the war, says
Much as we detest it as human
beings and as Christians, yet we exult
in it as Germans"
