ARRIVALS FORCE
CORN TO DECLINE
Unlimited Quantities Seem
to Pour in on Eastern
Markets Now.
GOOD WEATHER CAUSE
Big Covering Fails to Have
Strength Enough to Keep
Oats on Raise.

Chicago. March 15.--With arrivals
continuing on big scale. and with
apparently unlimited quantities yet to
cHme forward, the corn market today
underwent new declines. Prices closed
unsettled. hMA cent lower at s1.27a
March. and s1.25T May. Oats lost y
1as cent, and provisions to II cents.
Favorable weather for the crop
movement helped to make corn trad
ers focus their attention on the fact
that receipts showed no falling off in
volume, and that no slackening in the
number of arrivals was in immediate
prospect. Meanwhile. inquiry from
shippers here had nearly reached the
vanishing point owing to the absence
ct ordinary outlets to the east Good
demand from industries here gave the
market at one time something of a
stimulus, but was more than offset
later by assertions that owing to the
poor quality of the 1917 crop a lower
grade of corn than at present accepted
was likely to he declared standard for
the filling of contracts.
Temporary Bulge.
Despite temporary bulge due to
covering of 100000 bushels by n specu-
lative short. oats were sharply lower
most of the day. Bears had an ad-
vantage from reports that a much in
creased acreage was being seeded.
Provisions sympathzed with weak

SENATOR'S VIEWS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senator Hitchcock, in discussing the peace movement, said that the very thought of a suspension of holtilities was absolutely abhorrent and he recommended that President Wilson deal only with the real representa- tives of the German people.
 Senator Lodge said that an armis- tice now would mean the loss of all we were fighting for and that Ger many merely proposes a long de- bate. We must obtain a military victory and force Germany to sue for peace, he said
 Senator Cumber introduced a re- solution which provides that before the United States agrees to an armistice, Germany must disband her army, surrender her navy, arms and ammunition, pay damages for the devastated cities and countries and restore Alsace Lorraine to France.

THE BRITISH VIEW

LONDON.-In discussing the peace feelers put out by the leu tons, the British newspapers frankly distrust the German peace inten- tions.
 The Daily Mail says that Chan cellor Maximillian's speech to the Reichstag contained no expression of repentance for the crimes com mitted by Germany; and citing the Bulgarian situation and the uncon- ditional surrender demanded of them, says that Bulgaria was not allowed to tell the Allied powers what to do, and claims that the same course should be adopted by the Allies in dealing with Germany and nothing but an unconditional surrender demanded of them.

PARIS.-Reports received from the front today indicate that the French forces have crossed the Suippe river and reached the out skirts of Bazancourt and Boulsur Siuppe Severe fighting marked the advance of the French troops who before making the crossing of the Suippe, inflicted severe losses on the Germans, who were com pelled to retire in disorder. The advances made by the French in this region has now completed the deliverance of Rheims.
 In the region lying tothe north of St. Quentin, the French cap tured and occupied several fortified woods.

ALLIED ARMIES CONTINUE TO PUSH HUNS BACK
KAISER ASKS ALLIES
 TO DISCUSS PEACE

COPENHAGEN.-Prince Maxi millian of Baden, the newly ap- pointed German chancellor, told the Reichstag that he had sent a note through the good offices of the gov ernment of Switzerland, to President Wilson, in which he requested the President to take up the question regarding the bringing about of peace and to communicate with the other belligerent powers of the En- tente Allies regarding the subject.
 The chancellor also said that President Wilson in his message to Congress last January and in pro- clamations issued from time to time later on, outlined a program for a general peace with the Central Powers. The terms of the program so outlined by President Wilson, could be accepted, the chancellor said, as a basis ,for peace negotia- tions.

LAUNCH IS WRECKED:
 PASSENGERS PERISH

The most shocking river disaster to be recorded in Interior Alaska, within the memory of oldtimers, occurred some time last Friday afternoon, when the launch Flyer, owned and operated by Astral G. Vernon, better known as the Hun gry Kid", was wrecked, in some manner yet to be accounted for, at point on the Panama river in the neighborhood of the Emile bar with the presumable loss of all on board.
 The Flyer, with the Hungry Kid" at the wheel, left Nenana at about 6 a. m., on Friday October 4th with MT. and Mrs. Charles Craig and child, Mrs. Hawley Sterling, George Coleman, Dick Richard and Helen Moulton as passengers, bound for Fairbanks
 The launch Victory, with Fred Douse at the wheel, left Nenana for Fairbanks a few hours after the Flyer, and on arrival at Cinema and learning that the Flyer had not arrived or passed that point, Douse reported that he had not seen her on the way up. It was thought that the Flyer might have taken one of the numerous sloughs that abound between Nenana and Fairbanks and that he might have had engine trouble or run on a bar and been delayed in consequence The fact that the Flyer had failed to show up at Cinema was also phoned to Nenana to Andy Hoey, of the Ter minal by Fred Douse late on Friday night.
 No tidings of the Flyer having been received up to late hour on Friday night, early on the morning of Saturday, October 5th, Harry de Young and Eddie Clausen, of the N. c. staff at Fairbanks, set out on the launch owned by the former to search for the Flyer and to render what aid they were able to and get the passengers up to Fairbanks.
 The first intimation of the dis aster to reach Nenana came in a telegram to the Portland from Joe Johnson, who regularly operates the launch Peerless between Nenana and Fairbanks, and who left Nenana for Fairbanks on Saturday morn ing, October 5th. The message, which was dispatched from Cinema shortly after the arrival of the Peer less at that point on Saturday night, read as follows: Yesterday

Hungry Kid passed twelve-mile, up bound, shortly after boat came drifting down full of water, no people; expected all drowned; no trace"
 It is presumed that Joe Johnson got the news at Norman Hadley's camp on his way up stream, as this is the nearest camp to the Emile mile bar, where the empty water logged launch was reported to have been seen floating downstream.
 Confirmation of the disaster was brought to Nenana by Carl White, who arrived on his launch from Cinema, bound for the Tolovana, at about 9:30 p. m. Saturday.
 Carl White stopped at Norman Hadley's camp on his way down to Nenana from Fairbanks on Sat urday afternoon and gleaned the following information regarding the Flyer: It would appear, from Carl Whites story, that Hadley's atten- ton was attracted to the river by noise caused by the hull of boat grating on the pebbly bottom of the bar opposite his camp. On look ing in the direction of the bar he saw large boat drifting down. stream, floating on its side, and he immediately set out in his polling boat to investigate. On arriving alongside he identified the floating object as the launch Flyer, from the name painted on her, and, in- tending to tow it to slack water, he made fast to the hull and took it in tow. The tow would appear to have been too much for his light craft and despite all his efforts to make slack water, they steadily drifted toward the main channel. On striking deep water his tow be- gan to sink rapidly and threatened to engulf his boat, and to save him. self he was obliged to cut the launch adrift. The launch is said to have sunk in the channel about a mile below Hadley's camp.
 Hadley, while being positive that the boat was the Flyer, was not able to tell whether or not there were any bodies or baggage on board.
 Gus Peterson, one of the pass engers on the Carl White launch, who is on his way to the Tolovana country, confirmed the story brought by Carl White, and thinks that Hadley will be in a position to give

 It is believed that the offer will fail if, as it now seems possible, the Germans ask for conference and enter into diplomatic quibbling; but it is felt that peace is in sight if the Teutons would actually ac- cept the Presidents terms without any reservation and withdraw their forces from invaded territory.
 It is expected that Washin"ton will send speedy reply to the Austrian note so that the bond sales will not be disturbed

Braid Much Used.
able purpose

Braid is going to be very much used
this autumn. There is q real wartime
reason for this, as braid is something
that covereth a multitude of sins and
makes quick work of giving a smart
and neat finish to all sorts Of tailored
frocks, coats and suits. There is a
kind of double, folded braid that may
easily be applied to the edge of
sleeves, tunics or skirts, giving them
complete finish with the minimum of
work. The home dressmaker will do
well to make use of this new vogue
for braid. OF course, braid is not al
ways used as a labor-saving device,
for in many of the new and smart
suits a very elaborate system Of braid
trimming is carried out, often more
than one sort Of braid being combined
in one design.

To dress or not to dress, beyond the
degree of formality that characterizes
Z tAe. handsome silk or wool suit-that
is the question that is being an
swered every day. And suits, they
say, are selling in greater numbers,
as compared to other apparel, than
ever. They are much advanced in
price, too. 1t looks as if the hand
some suit. is destined to take the place
of special afternoon and evening
clothes, during the winter season at
least and that velvet will run a close
second TO wool cloths. 1t cannot be
much more expensive.
Aside from motives of patriotism,
which call for sacrifice of wool on
!; the part of civilians, the velvet suit
is the best choice for matrons. Its
richness and durability, and the sue
cess with which it can be freshened
up, after doing much service, recon-
mend it to her. A very chic new
model in velvet appears at the left
of the two figures in the picture above.
Like so In,ny of the garments made
for this winter, it, looks like a COM
htlatIon of two styles, and one is
liable to look twice before deciding
whether it is an afternoon frOck that
resembles suit, or suit that wishes
