NOrn.- nile receipts at primary
points are increasing slowly but surely,
apparently the movement has not come
up to expectations. The market yestcr-
weather was again warm through out
the corn belt, and in view of the siren
uous efforts being made to move the
crop there is every reason to believe
that much larger run may be looked
for. The efforts are being eXerted par
ticularly toward moving the low gra0c
corn and good corn continues scarce
and strong. Advices from Washington
said that soft corn can be sold directly
to driers, and that there are now in
operation and under cons tructlon grain
drying plants which have a capacity
Of handling 100000 bushels of soft
corn every twenty-four hours. Mean
time there is an active milling demand
for corn fit for milling purposes and
also a big waiting demand for export
At recent conference between leading
grain men with members of the food
administration some modification in c:i-
isting regulations was recommended
especially the removal of the sixty day
restrictions, and it was also said that
free exchange trading is considered a
necessity to stabilize the market, al
though at the present time the question
OF changing prevailing regulations will
be held in abeyance until a larger sur
plus has been accumulated.

WASHINGTON
AGREES WITH
LLOYD GEORGE
American Military Experts and
the English Premier Conf
dent That New German
Drive Will Fail.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Renew-
al of the German drive in France.
indicated by Premier Lloyd George
Friday TO be imminent, finds Amer
lean military opinion here absolute
~ confident of the outcome. There
is nOL a doubt in the minds of high
officers familiar with the situation
that the enemy will be repealed with
loss and the offensive power of Ger
many finally broken.
There are those who believe that
the end Of the war may come this
year as a result Others, however,
see a long defensive struggle by the
German army while efforts to Sc
cure peace on the best possible terms
are made by the Berlin diplomats.
In assessing the situation as il
stands today in France, officers here
point out that the German position
is far weaker strategically than il
was when the drive was begun in
March. Their lines are now shaped
so that there is constant danger of
flank attack from several points
that might mean disaster. To guard
those points, ample reserves must
be held, whatever the call for more
men be made from the fronts of
attack
Enemy Faces Big Force.
Before the German army stands
a force that has been largely re-
habilitated since the shock of the
drive fell upon the British and
French fronts and bent them back
by weight of mum bers. Losses in
men and material have been made
good. The men are keyed to a high
pitch of enthusiasm.
American man power. sufficient
to replace by far the larger portion
of the losses of the British and
French in the bitter fighting which
stopped the first German rush, has
been carried TO the fighting zones.
supplementing the considerable
American force which already was
in France. Except for the finer
points Of trench warfare, the new
American units are ready for the
battle. They are regarded as fully
which they will be engaged.
In addition many thousands OF
trained Italian troops have reached
the front in France. They came
without equipment beyond their uni
forms, it is understood. but have
now been fully supplied and are
available for employment by the
supreme commander. Cen. Foch.
