BUuLISH EFFECT
ON CORN MARKET

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Announcement
that all priority orders on the rail
roads had been suspended and that all
classes of freight we're now on an
equality had a bullish influence today
on the corn market. Although such
policy In regard to freight was ex-
pected to help remove the traffic con-
gestion as a whole. the trade seemed
TO incline to the view that the imme-
date effect would be to diminish the
movement of corn to market. Buying.
however, on this theory did not be-
core at all aggressive. Opening
prices, which ranged from unchanged
figures to h@Ac higher. with Jan.
uary S126& to $1.26% @1.26h. and
May $l.24A to $1.24h, were followed
by slight reaction and then mod.
crate general advance.

"The spirit and enthusiasm of the
French troops as they leaped into the
enemy trenches is beyond all praise
Their earnestness not only carried
them into the trenches, but actually
far beyond them. Some detachments
kept on going until they reached the
upper Pave back of the lines held by
the enemy.
They found deserted villages and
little evidence of enemy occupation
and could have held this advanced
position back of the enemy lines. But
it was beyond the objective sought and
would have necessitated recognizing
defenses, so the impetuous detach-
ments were ordered to retire But it
showed what enthusiasm can do in
forcing wedge straight through the
Austrian lines"

announce to you the death of your
noble brother, Emmett R. Rogers,
which occurred early this morning
as the result of shell fire from the
enemy artillery.
He died as he lived, a man in every
sense of the word From the time
that Emmett Rogers joined F Com
pany, Saith Infantry, he was in my
platoon, and he was a fine soldier.
There was no better in the army.
Faithful to duty, kind and consider
ate of his comrades, fearless of per-
sonal danger, he was an example to
every man of the company and every
member of the company called him
friend. He was held in high esteem
by every officer and many of the COM
pany, and. F Company mourns with
you in the loss of gallant comrade
and Christian gentlemen. His body
was laid to rest early this morning
and his personal effects have been
collected and will be forwarded.

one of them a dietary difficulty that
has happily settled by the British
commissary which supplies all our
forces incorporated in the British
command. The boys used to get lots
of cheese at their mess. Cheese is
fayorite food of the British and as
their people across the channel have
been consistently denying themselves
lam and marmalade and cheese since
this war started in order that the
Tommy might have his fill of these
preferred staples the Yanks have
been receiving them in generous
quantities.
These Yanks can eat jam and mar
malade, but his tastes have always
heen too warm to encourage cheese
eating. He has no fondness for
cheese. The divisional chief of stan
once mentioned this to the British
quartermaster corps, which an
nounced a cheerful willingness to
substitute rice. Now this division
is enjoying rice pudding, boiled rice
| sweetened and rice fritters. The
Tommy will get q little more cheese.
Everybody is happy.
How do you like the mud in this
neck of the woods?" l asked one

When we were leaving the area we
stopped for cup of coffee in little
village that actually possessed four
prosperous sunfiowers. The estab-
lishment we patronized was noted for
it's Belgian coffee, so good that 1t is
almost delicious without sugar or

A Dixieland In France.

American Press Headquarters
British 'FRONT.' have been all day
with Southern Yanks on the British
front at a position which cannot be
announced; but 1 may say it is in
terestingly ticklish and exceedingly
important.
From a village whose name
sounds like two coughs and a curse,
where there we're naughty metropoll-
tan eastern Yanks-who received
us as casually as the Peoria chief OF
police would receive Peoria news
paper man in Peoria-we flashed
across country trenchward to the
boys from the region of corn pone
and yam5.
We knew we had arrived in French
Dixie when we stopped to make GER
tain of directions. The Yank sentry
was very tall, very polite and he had
very white teeth; these were first
impressions of him. Also he had
