London, March 2S.-The personal
memorandum Of Prince LichnowslSy,
revealing the inner workings of Ger

much feeling in Germany against the
former ambassador to Great Britain,
leaked out last summer after the fall
of Won Bethmann- Hollweg. This state

waerts of Berlin and is published by
the Times. which also reprints the
most important points of the memoir

memorandum, in which the former
German ambassador fixes the guilt of
the war on his government, reaches us
at the heights of the great struggle.

Chicago, March 2S.-Hogs broke

Receipts Wednesday were about a:
expected, at 5000 and proved about
the same as last Wednesday, but were
less than half as large as the supply
year ago. Three days offALngs
totaled 46,300, or around 1000 less thar
same period last week and 1000 more
than corresponding time year ago.
Seven western markets were credited
with $1,000. or 5000 less than week
ago and 1000 less than correspond
ing Wednesday a year ago. Thus far
this week combined arrivals totaled
1916 900 or 1900 less than same period
last week and 5000 more than cores

Cattle.
Religious holidays tended to slacken
demand for cattle.
While combined receipts Of hogs at
the eleven markets Wednesday were
5000 smaller than previous Wednes-
day, Chicago received 1000 more. The
big decrease was at st. Paul, Sioux
City, ST. Louis and Kansas City. The
eleven points today had $4,000 more
than a year ago and 1000 more than
two years ago.
The first half of this week the eleven
markets received 100000 or 500 less
than a week ago, $4,000 more than a

received 5000 more than a week ago,
SO, 900 more than a year ago and $4,000
more than two years ago.
Sheep.
Sheep were scarce.
Lamb prices are enjoying boom,
and present prices are not only the
highest Of the season but are danger
ously near the record level Of last May
on most classes.
Some of the best are selling higher
than they ever did before, and the
demand seems to hold up unusually

was not very firm.
Local dressed prices have advanced
sharply since week ago, and buyers
have no accumulation on hand. This

undoubtedly has helped the producer,
because it broadens the outlet.
Heavy lambs are still selling at a
discount compared with light stock Of
corresponding quality. but the dis
elimination against them is far less
severe than it was a short time ago.
Sheep and yearlings have worked
upward along with lambs. and the In
dustry is on a profitable basis which
should encourage production, especial
ly with the enormous demand for wool.
Short stock is in increased proper
ton and finds a good outlet along with
the wool skins, but because of the big
prices being paid for wool it is natural
that they should be selling at a liberal
discount.
We are about to face a shortage in
receipts and further advances would
rot surprise the trade in general, as
consumption should increase after
Lent ends.

GERMAN FOOD CRISIS IN MONTH.

Kaiser Offers Empty Victories Instead
Of Food For Subjects.
Washington, March 2S.-"Germany's
military masters are seeking to feed
their vassals on empty victories again
instead of food.
This is the conclusion drawn here
following receipt Of official confirma-
ton by this government showing the
prospects of a food crisis the next
month or two in Germany. No one in
authority seriously believes Germany
will starve But many saw in this Of
fetal report yesterday support for the
war department statement that inter
national political considerations forced
the drive.
Germany's eastern granary is not
yet open and the prospect Of unrest
was one compelling motive for the
west front gamble, apparently.
So the kaiser, stating safely behind
the shambles of the Somme, Is cabling
back that his armies are VIGOROUSLY
capturing-a terrain the boches them
selves devastated. He says nothing
of the hundreds Of thousands killed
wounded, or missing in the victory
The official report indicated meat
and bread rations may have to be cut
again, while transportation is hamper
ing milk shipments to the industrial
centers.
IF Germany has to rely on her pres
ent resources" said the report, she
will have to endure privations even
greater than she has hitherto en-
dured."
Meat shortage has forced Breslau to
eat dog meat. The municipal abattoir
there reported that last year ia dogs,
1,447 horses, and SOS goats were butch

but dog meat is a war innovation.
Prospect Of fair yields for veg
etables by June offers some hope to the
Teuton stomach.

LAMsoN's MARKET REPORTS.

Masonic Temple: Phone 1873

Chicago, March 2s-,Most Of the
trading in the May delivery was at a
higher range than last nights close, but
pre- holiday drAlness prevailed. The
sample market also held steady and a
good demand prevailed for choice corn
at prices unchanged to 5 cents higher.
With a continuation of farm work thru
the long period of favorable weather
receipts have fallen off sharply. Prim-
airy receipts this week have been about
1900, 900 bushel less than last week,
but about double those of last year.
Considerable poor grain is still coming
forward and it shows the effect Of
warm weather on soft corn.
Oats-Oats ruled higher most Of the
day on reports Of further export bust
ness, but lost about cent in the last
hour on selling by local traders and
realizing by longs. Premiums in the
sample market were firTrer and a good
demand existed. Sales Of around l0O.-
600 bushels cash oats were reported to

Washington, March Discharges
that German spies were responsible for
this country's failure to keep up in its
air plane program were made in the
senate today by Senator Overman, de-
mocrat, Of North Carolina. He also
charged there were spies id the Curtiss
plant.
If I were secretary Of war, T would

out every man employed there and hire
Americans in their places" he de-
clared. He said spies took metal
braces, and saving them in two, joined
the pieces with lead and then painted
over. The first Bristol machine tried
fell. An investigation disclosed the
defects. Many other pieces also had
been tempered with and as the result
the building Of Bristol machines was
delayed two months while inspectors
and government agents went over
various parts to replaced tempered
pieces.
Senator Overman said it was gener-
ally declared there were 100000 Ger
man spies in this country but he be-
lieved there were nearer 100000. He
said he made no charge against the
Curtiss company but added:

plant and they have delayed delivery
Of machines"
