Yankee Aviators AS
Good As Best, Says
British Air Official

With the American Army in
France, Sept. 2l.-(Reuter. i'm the
course of statement on the extent
and Importance of the work of the
British air force, Major General
Trenchard, its commander, spoke to.
day in the highest praise of the
American airmen. He said they
were as good as his own men and
more praise could not be given,
as he did not believe anything bet
ter could be said.
Their daring, their ability and
discipline and organization could
hardly be improved upon, said Gen.
eral Trenchard. He mentioned that
he recently had bestowed the dis
tinguished flying cross on an Amer
lean airn1an.
Among a number of captured let
tiers General Trenchard quoted one
describing the destruction wrought
by aircraft. This said that the
opera house and the greater part of
the splendid street, Die Zieb, in
Frankfort, was a heap of ruins and
that 120 persons had been killed.
General Trenchard said he did
not consider the attainment Of abso-
lutte superiority in the air was
profitable ideal. Those who In
dulged in such an ideal had no con-
ception of the number of planes it
would require nor the stuff that
would be needed to serve them, as
every pilot must have some 50 men
behind him, and for every plane in
use nine would be needed in re-

German Ship Plan for
Spain Not Accepted
By Spanish Cabinet

Paris, Sept. 2l.-Negotiations be-
tween Madrid and Berlin on the
submarine question are Tar nom
ended, says the Madrid corre-
spondent of the Petit Parisien.
Germany has let it be understood
that she would turn a few ships
over to Spain and would not inter-
fere with Spanish traffic toward
South America. This proposal. it is
declared, does not satisfy the Span
ish cabinet. Besides, the German
proposals change daily.
Count Romanones,- the minister
of justice, told the correspondent
that the problem would not be set
tied until a few days before the APP
preaching meeting Of the Spanish
parliament, but that it would be
settled.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Corn Prices Drop ~ Receipts Increase;
Oats Strong on Liberal Export Demand

Chicago, Sept. 2l.--Lowest prices yet
for corn since trading in present deliv-
eris began resulted today chiefly from
prospects OF sustained liberal receipts here.
The market closed unsettled IN @2hc net
lower. with October s1.4Sk to SASS and
November SLASH to SLASH. Oats fin
ished Nc Oft to Nc up, and provisions
varying from lie decline to loo advance.
Likelihood that the movement of corn
would increase from now on seemed clear.
inasmuch as a number Of requests from
the country for shipment permits had
broadened out, and in q great majority
Of cases had specified corn. Other evil
dence too was at hand, indicating that
unusual amounts of old corn was still
held on farms. and now that the new
crop had become assured was pressing
to be disposed Of Dread Of injury by
frost seemed to be at an end. barring
only the percentage Of damage looked for
every season. Under such conditions, the
market proved weak throughout the day.
and received little support except from
profit short.
Relative strength displayed by oats
came principally from continued export
demand. Sales TO exporters were esti-
mated at 100000 bushels
Provisions averaged lower in consequence
of breaks In the value Of corn and hogs.

 PURCHASES OF
 MEAT FOR ARMY

Chicago, July 24-The largest sim gle order for bacon and canned meats in the history of the world-99, 5 60,- 900 pounds of bacon and 100000 pounds of canned meat-has just been placed by the Quartermaster Depart ment, U. S. A., for the American Ar my overseas.
 Louis F. Swift, in commenting on this today, said the order will take the bacon from approximately 1,900,- 900 hogs and if other work were drop ped to produce it would be equivalent to the total bacon production of the five largest Chicago packers for near ly five weeks, however, six months will elapse before delivery is complet- ed.
 Mir Swift said: At the current prices on the day, last week, when the purchase was made, the packers would pay the live stock producers about $S0,00O,0OO for the necessary hogs and over $50,OO0,0 900 for about 900,000 cattle required.
 "The cattle will cost us twice as much, and the hogs two and one-half times as much as in the pre-war pe- riod.
 "The whole order will be made up before the first of the year, despite the fact that, cven before this pur- chase, one-fourth of the packers fla

Antoine de la Motte Cadillac, Lord of Bouaget and Montdesert, under a commission from King Louis XIV. of France, left Montreal in June with 100 men and a Jesuit missionary, and at "the Dar- danelles of the New World' laid the foundation for the future great city. Detroit has changed it's flag five times, has owed allegiance to three different sovereigns, has twice been besieged by Indians, was onee captured in war and once consumed by flames, and has been the scene of massacres and many battles.

BALFOUR.

In the political annals of Great Britain during the last quarter of a century few names figure more prom inently than that of the Rt. Hon. Ar thur James Balfour, author, philoso- pher, former Prime Ministe~, and First Lord of the Admiralty. MT. Balfour will be 70 years old tomorrow, having been born on July 25, 1S4S. Aside from being one of the most prominent statesmen of latter-d day England, he has an international rep utation as a writer and thinker, and the Order of Merit conferred upon him in June, 1916, by King George was in recognition of his services in philosophy and literature.' S-~an after the outbreak of the war MT. Balfour offered his services to Winston Spen- cer Churchill, then the Admiralty s civil lord, and he toiled valorously in an office adjoining ChurchilPs until the formation of the coalition cabinet placed him at the head of the Ad- miralty as ChurchilPs successor. Bal four's appointment was far from pop u1ar in many circles in England, as public sentiment favored the selection of Lord Fisher, 'the grand old man of the British navy.'' MT. Balfour is a landsman who is not even a yachts man, and popular opinion favored the installation in Whitehall of a man who had had long and practical ex- perience as a sea warrior. Later MT Balfour resigned and came to Amer ica several months ago as chief of the British mission that visited the United States after this nation entered the war. Incidentally. MT.
