Third u. s. Army
Resumes Marcel,

and expressing his belief that his respon-
sibility was past, the German said
II am damn glad the war Is over,
As. the Americans entered Spin
court the rear guards Of German d.
visions which had held the place were
just withdrawing, the Germans rejoicing
as they marched away. A few artillery
men were pottering around the big guns
as IL they. dreaded leaving their pets
behind All the cannon were camou-
flaged and some had names. One eight
inch gun was named' Martha, and had
a prominent place on the front line.
The German. lieutenant escorted the
Americans to the hotel and endeavored
to make them comfortable. Lieutenant
Nicolson and the German began checking
the guns. and continued the work until
dark. Then the Germans entertained
the two lieutenants at dinner. The Ger
man continued wearing his side arms un-
I'll after the dinner, the Americans also
wearing theirs.
After dinner the German said that he
Thought that he did not need arms. but
remarked that he had felt nervous dur
ing the afternoon after the German in
fantry had retreated, as he was uncer-
taip as to what the Americans might do.
All three took off their side arms and
spent the night at the hotel. The Ger
man slept on the first floor and the
Americans directly above. They had
breakfast together and finished checking
the guns. after which Lieutenant Gruner
gave the German a receipt for them.
Just before noon the German ordered
the hotel to serve chocolate. and began
packing up his effects He told the
Americans that $500 machine guns
awaited them in Longuyon. Two order
lies brought up. his horse. and, tucking
the receipt into an inside pocket. the
enemy officer mounted, saying goodbye.
Then he added:
"I hope my troubles, are over for n
while. / hope to forget all about guns
and war and battlefields forever"
He rode away, his orderlies following
him in horsedrawn cart.
BY noon Saturday, between the OLD
German lines east of Verdun and Spin
| court detachments of signal corps men
were stringing wires to the various head
| quarters, in many instances using poles
| left by the Germans. In Spincourt the
signal men found a German switchboard
intact, and in a few hours 1t had been
connected up with the American line
running to the rear.
Over every main road the Americans
we're scattered like ants, repairing cul-
verts, filing old shell holes and keeping
the rCads IN repair, .uespite 'he conslaht
grind Of the machinery Of the armies.
All over the reoccupied country where
! the Americans have passed there is
evidence of the wholeheartedness with
| which the Germans quit. Camps with
temporary buildings have been left in
tact. Not one was burned.
Here and there have been seen great
niles of helmets and gas masks, which
| betrayed the manner in which entire
companies threw away the equipment
they had learned to rely on, but also 10
hate.
Already the Americans are starting
out t-post feeding stations. where they
! are serving coffee, bread and canned
meat. In one instance released prison
ers rushed an American truck loaded
1 with bread, cleaning It out before the
crowd could be controlled.

OUTPUT FOR MIAMI
DISTRICT WEEK ENDING
JUNE 22ND, $500

The price OF lead ore took an
other jump upward and stood firm
at the close of the week at $50 per
ton. This is the highest peak it has
ever attained and the Miami min
ing district produces several times
more lead ore than the balance OF
the tri-state district combined, lis
tens good.
And zinc blende still stands firm
with the premium grades bringing
SIS per ton. Some sold as low as
S42, but not a great portion of that
in the real Miami district. The real
average of the bulk of sales of Jack
could be figured close around sou.
but on the whole it is agreed to hg-
ure the average basis OF settlement
as before-that is at SIS per ton.
Sales totaled considerably above
one-third of million dollars, de-
spite the fact that so many mills are
temporarily closed down or only OPP
Grating eight hours per day.
The general outlook is exception
ally good and every one is elated
with the prospects for better prices
for blends in the very near future.

GRAIN.

Chicago, June 2.-Prospects OF
rain in Kansas and of breaking OF
the hot wave there led to selling
of corn today, and eased down
prices. Opening prices which varied
some unchanged figures to 3-S cent
lower with July Sl.4S Ia to Sl.4S
Is and August Sl.50 3-4 to $l.5l
were followed by slight rally, and
the material decline all around.
No important reaction took place,
although primary receipts for the
week were smaller than last year.
The close was unsettled, Hc to 7sc
net lower, with July $l.47B to
$l.4S and August $l.50B to Sl.5OA.
Provisions averaged higher, due
apparently to reports of large ship
ments of fresh meats.
Firmness continued throughout
the day in provisions despite weak
ness which developed in the hog
market.
