COttonseed Oil. - The market was
fcatureless yesterday. Stocks OF old
oil are believed to be OF quite liberal
proportions, but they are in strong
hands and not being pressed for sale.
The demand IS Of routine character,
and buyers are taking supplies simply
as they are needed. New crop crude
oil is being marketed with a fair de-
gree of freedom at the government
price of 1712 cents.

Wheat. w heat has been coming to
market so freely since the opening of
the new season that storage facilities
have become overstrained and stocks
have grown with greater rapidity than
anticipated. The big movement has
caused more or less congestion at some
of the leading terminal markets, and
the adoption of the permit system is
believed to show that the authorities
arc now disposed to check the market
ing OF wheat until some OF the stocks
already held have been exported and
until the storage arrangements for the
winter have been more definitely fixed.
1t is thought, Also that it may prove a
wise thing TO keep a certain proper
tion of the wheat on the farms, as it
will be wanted later on by local mills.
which otherwise would have to go to
the terminal markets for supplies.
There are evidences on every hand of q
great surplus of wheat, but the food ad-
mlnlstratlon has made pledges of heavy
exports during the year, and though
supplies now seem sufficient TO care for
all needs, consumers are being urged
to continue to practice economy. as
large stocks must be built uD. both
here and abroad, IN order to meet any
emergencies which may arise next sea-
son through unfavorable agricultural
developments.
Corn.-The corn market was nervous
and feverish early in the day, and after
showing an early advance Of about u G
prices eased on about 2i2c. and closed
with net losses Of ia C to 2i,c. Re
ports that Chicago had issued permits
for further shipments to that point led
to expectations OF larger receipts. The
cash demand was slow. The trade is
looking for an early movement of the
new, crop, and this was reflected BY
weakness in the November position. It
was said that country houses were in

ALLEGED DRAFT
EVADER TAKEN
into CUSTODY
Ed Weber Arrested by Local Police on
Charge Of Failing TO Register
Investigation Before Exemp-
tiOn Board to BE
Held Today.

Ed Weber, who lives in the West
End of the city, was placed under
arrest late yesterday afternoon by the
local police and lodged in Jail on a
charge of draft evasion pending fur
ther investigation today by the Mason
County Exemption Board.
It became known several days ago
that although Weber was twenty-one
years of age he had not registered in
either of the two military registra-
tions but the police say he has been
hiding about trying to escape appre-
hension. Yesterday, however, the po-
lice ran across him and he was i'm
mediately taken into custody.
Weber protests that he is not old
enough for military service but the
officials have learned his correct age
from a life insurance policy which
was issued in 1902 and in which he
was then said to be five years of age,
establishing the fact that he is now
over twenty-one years of age.
1t is not known this morning just
what turn the case will take. Weber
may be forced to register and allow
ed to go into immediate military SER
vice or he may be forced to register
and his having evaded the draft re-
ported to the army officials for court
martial trial as has been provided
under a recent army order and a re
cent ruling of the Office of the Provost
Marshal General.
Weber has been a resident of Mays
vile for many years and was rath-
er quiet sort of a boy. lt'had been
suspected for several weeks, however
that he was evading the draft but the
investigation was made only a few
days ago.
He will be taken by the police be
fore the Mason County Exemption
Board today for thorough investiga
ton and for determination as to wha
further steps to take in his case.

IT'S DROWN WHEN
EXCURSION BOAT
SINKS IN river
ILLINOIS STEAMER GOES ASHORE
IN FOG AND GREAT PANIC
FOLLOWS IN WHICH
MANY DIE.


Peoria, ILL.,, July Hundreds Of
people are believed to have been
drowned when the excursion steamer

river five miles south Of here tonight.
All available nurses and physicians
have been summoned from Pekin, ILL.,,
which is near the scene Of the accl-
dent.
The boat jammed against the Peoria

Dozens Of doctors and nurses from
this city have been summoned to the
scene of the sinking.
There were $50 excursiOnists on
board the boat when II left Al FrescO

Pekin. The boat ran into the Peoria
shore during the fog that was pre-
vailing. 1t backed away, and began
sinking 1mmeditely, water ruShlng III
through large hole in the bow. The
boat instantly began sending out sig
nails o fdistress and several water
craft from this city rushed to the
scene Of the accident.

ALLIES MAY NOW
TAKE THE OFFENSIVE
Increasing Man Power and Control of
Air Allow General FOch TO De-
VelOp New Phase.

Washington, July 5-Increasing
man-power and rapidly extending
control Of the air have permitted the
adoption of new policy by General
Foch, supreme commander of the AL
lied armies on the western front, in
the opinion of many observers here
They believe the sequence of hard
local blows that have been struck re-
Gently by French, American, British
and Italian troops show that a new
phase of the great battle is develop
ing, which might expand into q major
operation on any part of the front
where situation was found favorable.
Reports of the recent highly sue
cessful strokes at the German lines
are taken. here to indicate that Cen
eral Foch no longer feels under the
urgent necessity of keeping rigidly
on the defensive in order to conserve
his forces for the expected renewal
of the German offensive. The fact that
the Germans have been completely
surprised and overwhelmed by sever
al of the local counter operations is
believed due to the work of the Allied
airmen
In both cases American aid has al
| ready served to change the tide of
the fighting. The arrival of American
troops by the hundreds of thousands
has enabled General Foch to begin
harrassing the enemy all along the
line, while the increasing number of
American pilots makes possible con-
centrations of air forces that sweep
enemy scouts out of the sky in the
sections selected for limited drives.
1t is assumed here that General
Foch now plans to give the enemy NO
rest. Points of vantage held by him
which would be of value as the start
ing place for a new major thrust are
being recaptured all along the line
The effect is to embarrass German
preparations.

Troop ship on Honieward Voyage is

Washington, July 5-The American
army transport Coyington, homeward
bound after landing several hundred

sunk in the war zone last Monday
night. Six members of the crew are
missing but all the other men. with
the ships officers, have been landed

The Covington formerly was the
Hamburg American liner Cincinnati,
which was laid UP at Boston and
taken over when the United States
entered the war. She was COS feet
long, of 16,S39 grdss tonnage and had
speed of 151a khots an hour.
The Covington was the second of
the great German liners seized at the
outbreak of the war to be sent down
by Germany's sea wolves and is the
third American troop ship to be de-
stroyed. All were homeward bound
The former Hamburg American liners
President Lincoln was sunk last May

gan liner, was sent down last October

The Navy Departments announce
ment tonight of the torpedoing of the
Covington said none OF the officers

rine was not sighted. The transport
remained afioat until Tuesday when
efforts were made by another vessel
and two Jugs to tow her to port, but
she was too badly damaged to keep
afloat
The torpedo struck just forward

land the engine room and fire room
were rapidly flooded. With it's mo-
tive power gone, the vessel was help
less, and, facing the possibility of tor
pedoing of another ship in the con-
voy, the Covington was Temporarily
abandoned. This was done in excel
lent order and the officers and crew
were taken on board a destroyer. The
submarine was not seen.
"At daybreak, the captain, several
officers and a number of members OF
the crew returned to supervise sal
vaging operations. Another vessel
and two tugs took the Covington in
tow in the effort to get her to port
but she was too badly damaged tC
keep afloat and sank.
Vessels have been searching fol
the missing men and the Navy De
partment is awaiting the report of the
name of those missing, which was no
received until today, before announc
ing the sinking of the vessel"
There was no explanation by thu
Department as to whether the siI
men were missing after the transfer
of the crew from the torpedoed shiI
to the destroyer or after the transpor
actually went down. 1t was feared
however. that they either were killeC
by the force Of the explosion, or wer,
