'WETg WORK FOR DELAY.
Revive Recess Talk to Escape Test o
o~ohihi<inn

Washington, July l2.-There are
many schemes in the capitol to provide
loophole for congress to escape or
postpone final showdown on nation
wide wartime prohibition, at least
until after election.
The senate. with the consent Of the
"drys," sidetracked the prohibition
rider to the. agricultural extension bill
temporarily to make way for the i'm
mediate consideration of the resolu-
ton authorizing the president to take
over the telegraph and telephone
wires.
Indications are that the prohibition
question would not be brought UP again
for several days. Meanwhile. recess
talk was revived enthusiastically
among the vets Several senators
expect to confer with President Wilson
tomorrow in an effort to obtain his
consent to recess Immediately upon
the disposition Of the telegraph resolu-
ton.
BY the time congress returns from
such a recess. the revenue bill and the
administrators promised military
man power legislation will be ready
for consideration. These two impor-
tant measures, it was pointed out,
would crowd prohibition into the leg
,slative ditch and kept it there indie
finitely.
The "drysF', however, were fully
aware of these moves, and let 1t be
known that they would consent to a
recess under no circumstances until
the disposition Of the prohibition
amendment. The vote yesterday by
which they defeated the wet point OF
order against the amendment gave
them the whip hand. they declared.
Senator Sheppard. Of Texas. the
dry" leader it was stated. Is not OPP
posed to recess, but his followers are
rot with him on this point and de-
clared they would permit nothing to
rob them of the fruits Of yesterday
victory They have the votes to con-
troll the situation at all times
The prohibition amendment Is tho
"unfinished business" Of the senate
and can be laid aside only by majority
vote The "drys" declared there is no
question about their ability to keep the
measure before the senate until anal
vote is obtained

Mason City Business Men Agree e
Go Into Harvest Fields.

Mason City, July II. To insure
plenty of help for harvesting Cerro
Gordo crops and to protect the farmers
against proiteer wages being de-
manded, over 100 Mason City business
men signed cards pledging their active
help in the grain fields in this vicinity,
if labor conditions make it necessary.
1t is said that wages to the amount of
So day are being demanded by some
profteers. 1t has not been determined
what will be the scale for the green"
business men.
Recruiting of business men for farm
labor is being conducted by the farm
Improvement association. All promises
of labor and requests by farmers for 1t
will be handled thru it.
This action was started first by the
travelling statesmen living in Mason
! City. Promises for two days work
were made. TwentY-eight statesmen
signed up earlier in the week.
Every dentist in Mason City with the
! exception of two have signed cards

Ottoman Government Says Facts Re.
aardina Attack on U. S. Being Sought

Ottoman Government Says Facts Re-
aardins Attack on u S. Being Sought
Washington, July 12.-Turkey has in
formed the United States. thru the
Swedish foreign office, that so far the
true facts as to the reported seizure
Of the American consulate and the
sacking Of an American hospital at
Tabriz, Persia, by Turkish soldiers has
not been ascertained, but that it will
be done at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
The United States asked explanation
Of this incident which. if regular Otto
man troops were involved. might mean
declaration Of war thru both the
Spanish and Swedish diplomatic chan
nels.
The attack was reported June 10 by
the Spanish consul. who took charge
Of the consulate when the American
consul with q large party Of Americans
and other foreigners left the Persian
city ct the approach OF the Turks.
Minister Morris at Stockholm re-
ported today that the foreign office had
informed him the inquiry of the United
States had not reached the Ottoman
government until July s. Then the
matter was presented with a request
for telegraphic reply. which now has
come in the form Of statement that
an investigation is proceeding.

Washington. July IL. - President

Il do so because very respectfully
but very earnestly dissent from the
policy which it embodies. Under its
terms the government would be
obliged to assume the control and ad-
minisctration of all short line railroads
without discrimination. l respectfully
submit that this Is not in the public
interest
There are terminal short lines at
many centers OF freight shipment and
some LOO short lines. which were

FOR CORN SUPPLIES

Hedging Sales Become Noticeable and
Act 40 Check on 5uils--Hisher Grain
and Hog Prices Tend to Send Pro-
vision up*srd--offerinss Are Light.

Chicago, July i3.-Advauces IN the
value OF corn took place today owing
more or less to active demand from
millers and to prospects Of the move
ment Of corn to primary centers might
soon be curtailed. Continued need OF
greater heat and moisture tended also
to put the bears at a disadvanease.
Most Of the purchasing was ascrineo
to shorts. Opening prices. which
ranged from Il cent of to rs cents
higher with August at $50 to l.6r+s
and September at $50 to l.seA. were
followed by decided gains.
Later a material reaction was caused
oy-announcement that President Will
son would veto the bill Increasing the
guaranteed price OF wheat and that
attempts to override the veto probably
would fail. The close was nervols. q
10 PA cents net higher, with August al
s1s14 to s1s15s and September al
s161 to s1s1b.
Oats buiEed with corn on the al
vance, however. hedging sales became
noticeable and acted as check on the
bulls. After opening unchanged TO 3
cents higher, with August at = cents to
72L. the market steadied at a slight
further gain.
Provisions.
Higher quotations on hogs and grain
lifted provisions. Offerings were Hight
on the way up.

Market conditions.-current Prices.

Chicago. July 1e.-Demand for hogs
continues. undated, and because OF
competitive bidding prices were forced
upward another 20 cents today for best
classes. All grades We're higher altho
swine, lacking quality, failed to receive
the full extent of the gain for others.
Packers need more than normal
supply Of hogs, judging from their
activity for the past two weeks. All
kinds Of market camoufiage has been
used to disguise the fact and many
swine have been imported to Chicago
from other markets to keep prizes
from ascending too fast.
Receipts have been running rather
light FOR several days and demand has
been exceptionally strong from the big
killers, who admit the supply OF pork
OF hand is comparatively small, East
ern shippers are buying more actively
and small killers who have wa orders
to fill are operating at the top notch
capacity
Since the first Of last week prices
have advanced so to 20 cents, making
the market just a dollar higher than
four weeks ago. The best hogs are
selling $40 higher than year ago
and 5000 higher than three years ago.
Cattle.
Beef steers continue steady. Butch
ers. however, were moved slowly and
sellers Of calves were compelled to ac-
cept bids IS cents under best time

The tendency is plainly upward in
the cattle market for all steers that
have Fat and finish regardless OF
weight. Steers weighing from mo to
1850 pounds sold at SIS. Common and
medium light weight were slow to sell,
but prices were fully steady with the
previous market at s12 to SIS. Cow
values were little higher FOR the best

a notable sale was OF 80 head OF

GERMANY sNEERs AT y. 5.
General Won Ardsnns Says Moral Value
Of Soldiers 10 Doubtful.

Amsterdam. July 12.-Newspapers In
Germany have published the figures
recently given out by Secretary Baker
as to the number Of Americans sent
overseas, but heretofore they have re-

Bluff"
The only expert military voice
heard so far is that of Lieut.. Gen. Won
Ardenne, who in a long article In the
Dusseldorf Nachrichten comforts his
German readers with stale arguments
to the effect that he does not believe
the figures and that numbers do not
count anyway. He says:
President Wilson recently announced
that 100000 men were under arms,
Secretary Baker says only 100000 now
are on the continent. while a French
army commander figures that only one
ninth of that number are at the front.
only two or three divisions so far have
made their presence felt. The rest have
been occupied in building railroads,
factories and ammunition depots. 1t is,
however, no matter of quantity, but of
quality.
The formation of an American army
perates under unfavorable conditions
regarding the equipment and arma-
ment, proof of this being seen in the
drilling of recruits without rfies ana
guns. The wholesale manufacture Of
flying machines has produced very
small results.
American troops have been mixed
With French and English units. as was
shown by the repeated attacks near
Cna,eau Thierry.
"A million soldiers need, according to
Secretary Baker. four million tons CT
ships. That these are unavailable is
shown by the course of the u-boat var
and it is also proved that they cannot be
provided by the building of new ships.
America cannot send really inn
posing for inside of two or three years.
Whether they world be moIall,- VAL
liable is doubtful"
General Won Ardenna concludes his
article with some alleged statements by
American prisoners about the att
fciality Of American war entlus;-

Chicago, July 12-Corn-A sharp

persistent buying by commission
houses were the main factors IN the
movement. Considerable realizing de-
veloped but final quotation were u to
~ to ~ higher. The cash demand
was keen showed some abatement to-
wards the last. The relative difference
between the futures and the cash
grain, however. Is still widely disper-
pcrtionate. Crop news continues
generally favorable. altho rains would
be beneficial IN parts OF the southwest.
cats-The July delivery enhanced 4
cente at the extreme high on covering
by shorts and the reaching Of stop loss
orders. The deferred months reflected
part Of the gain, out all reacted later
on profit taking and selling induced by
reports Of rain IN parts Of Canada.

impressed with the large cash business
