is looking after the welfare of the sol

called the Melting Pot and truly, but
the process has been slow. The war
has accelerated 1t. The Indians or the

Southwest, Armenians and Swedes and
Norwegians and Japanese and Iceland
ers-all are now enlisted under one

war because it was Americas war ana
they are Americans
That they feel this Is patent to those
who have seen and talked with these
men. Witness the Italian, who In the
assembly hall of one of our mobll1Za-
ton camps was waiting with group
of his fellows to take the oath Of al
legiance. He stepped forward SUDDEN
" with tears In his eyes and with
vivid gesture pressed corner OF the
American flag that hung over the desk
In front of him to his lips. group OF
native born soldiers who had been
looking on with amused indifference
broke into applause and cheers. From
then on these Italians were thelr

Changes ia Value Chiefly In Lard
Current Market Quotations.

Chicago. July %. Unexpected
scantines. Of selling orders led TO ma
terial upturns today in the corn mar
ket. after some weakness at the out
set. The initial declines were due to
big receipts and bearish crop condi-
tons. Most buying came from shorts.
Opening prices, which ranged from Is
to q cent lower, with August at
sl.50% to 1854. were followed by a
sharp advance to well above Satur-
days finish.
In the last half of the day prices
weakened rapidly. demand from shorts
having become exhausted and no bull
ish factors having developed. Prices
closed unsettled, rs cents to 20 cents
net lowerf with August at sl.+SA to

Oats.
Oats paralleled the action of corn.
Trade lacked volume. After opening
unchanged to Il cent lower. with
August at 691s to 6ess, the market
scored moderate gains all around.
Provisions
Higher provisions on hogs lifted pro-
visions. Trade changes were chiefly
in lard.
Subsequently. announcement Of the
placing OF big orders from the gov
eminent prevented realizing sales from
any important net declines.

lay i'll, she entered without hesitation
despite the protests and approximations
OF the local project and Of her own
physician. who accompanied her. Often
she insisted-on sitting down by the bed
side of a stricken peasant woman OF
child and ministerink personally to the
patient.
1t was wonderful to see how she
eluded and overcame the careful ar
fragments of the local projects for
shepherding her thru their districts.
1t was natural that each project should
be anxious to persuade the queen that
conditions in his jurisdiction were bet
ter than the average, and with this end
in view. he had usually arranged for
calls at six or seven Of the best houses
in the village. But the queen would
waive this program aside, and. pointing
to some miserable hovel. would say, ut
looks to me as If the people in that
house needed help. Let us go there"
Loyalty Of Troops Attestsd.
Owing to the arrnistice no fighting
activities of any kind were in evidence.
But the troops were keen and willing
and as they were reviewed by the
queen they renewed their oath Of al
legiance with zeal and enthusiasm
that left no doubt as to their loyalty.
No where did the army show. any de-
sire for peace. The generals and high
err staff officers in their talks with the
queen expressed the utmost confidence
in the ability Of the army to go on with
the war, altho more than half million
Russian troops who had been on the
Roumanian front had a short time be-
fore abandoned the trenches.
The queen returned to Jassy with a
feeling of confidence that peace would
be averted. She had received pledges
from every section of the army and the
personal promises of the commanding
generals that they would fight to the
end. But the day after she reached
Jassy she found that peace negotiations
were already beginning at Bucharest.
Even while the peace negotiations
were under way she did not despair But
continued to fight stubbornly against
their contamination.
In talk with the Associated Press
correspondent three days later, just be-
fore his departure from Jassy, the
queen said:
II shall never become reconciled to a
humiliating peace with Germany
never! The time is critical one for
Roumania, but I continue to hope. It
is only, a woman's hope, but I can not
abandon it."
