New York. May 31.-Leaders in the
stock market made partial improve

fell back more extensively later. The
few gains of the outset were entirely
cancelled, steels, shippings and spe-
~cialties losing l to 5 points on in
creased activity which evidently in
cluded liquidation of long accounts.
Fractional rallies set in at noon. Lib

Stocks were again Influenced at the
opening Of today's market by the war
situation. speculative interests await

quotations were irregular showing a
majority of losses among industrials,

these ranging from ! 40 2 points be-
fore the end of the first half hour.

railroad issue, gaining a point while
Reading lost that much. Liberty bonds

The moderate rally of the noon
hour proved of short duration, prices
reacting again on very dull operations.

hopeful conditions referred to by
representatives of the steel industry

u. BUSINESS
MEN FOR CHINA
PLANS, RElNSCH
Young Americans Of Expert
cnce May Form Skirmish
Line in Chinese Points.

Picking, May 30.-A commercial
regiment for China, composed Of
young American business men subject
to war service, who while serving their
country will at the same time form the
skirn,ish line of the American COM
mercial army to invade China after
the war, is one of the possibilities if
recommendations by the American
Minister DR.. Paul S. Reinsch, to the
war and state departments at Wash
ington are needed.
The idea of a commercial regiment
originated with Major Arthur Bassett
of the United States army, stationed
in Tientsin. His plan was suggested
to Minister Reinsch and the latter
submitted to Washington for consider
alton.
1.-The idea" said Major Bassett, els
briefly. to take young men with bust
ness experience or who expect to fol-
low a. business career who are drafted
into the army and instead Of sending
them to France organize them into
a. special regiment and send them to
China These men could get their
military training here just as
same time acquire a grounding in
Eastern commercial methods. They
would relieve troops now stationed
here who would be available for serv-
ice on the western front.
The North China school of lang
uages. which is already doing good
work in teaching the northern or Man
DARN. Chinese has tentatively promised
to open a branch of the school in
=. Tientsin to teach American troops as
/ have suggested. At the same time
arrangements could easily he made for
a course of instruction in Chinese COM
mercial methods and business oppor-
tunities. With a knowledge of the
language and with facilities for obser-
walton which could he assured, each
mar at the close OF the war would
become a factor for the promotion of
American trade in China.
"In the past trading has been done
from the treaty ports whence the
Chinese o the goods into the inter

ese, however. have more or less brok-
en- away from this practice: they have
penetrated into the interior and have
made it necessary for the old method
of combining operations to treaty ports
to be done away. If. western nations

I'm order to accomplish this the
old trade regulations which have beer
in force in the past will have to be
modified. so as to permit foreigners
to trade more freely in the interior

DEATH THE LEVELER

The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no armor against fate;
Death lays his icy hand on kings.
Scepter and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and
spade.
Some men with swords may reap the
field,
And plant fresh laurels where they
kill; ...7
But their strong nerves at last must
yield;
They tame but one another still:
Early or late
They stoop to fate,
And must give up their murmuring
breath
When they, pale captives, creep to
death.
The garlands wither on your brow;
Then boast no more your mighty
deeds;
Upon Deaths purple altar now
See where the victor-victim bleeds
Your heads must come
To the cold tomb;
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet, and blossom in their
dust. Az
Jones ShiTieD. (f596-I666)

In honor of the occasion services were
held in the new chapel for the first
time. The venerable Jubilarian was
clothed with the habit of st. Benedict
at the Motherhouse Maria Rickenbach,
Switzerland, by Father Frowin Con-
rad, the present revered abbot of Con-
ception Abbey, Conception, Mo. In
1881 Sister NJ Radegund, with other
members of the Benedictine Order,
was called to the Vicariate Apostolic
of Dakota Territory by the late saint
ly Bishop Marty. The High Mass was
celebrated by the chaplain, Rev. Fa-
Their Ignatius, o. S. B., assisted by
Rev. Father Hetherington, chaplain of
the Benedictine Convent at Zell, S. d.,
and Rev. NJ. j. Mccarthy, chaplain of
Sacred Heart Hospital, Yankton, s. d.

the essence and object of the religious
state, was preached by Father
Raphael of Trinity College, Sioux

The formal dedication of the Bishop

By that time the Sisters hope to be

OUTSIDE THE CITIES.

st. Ronifacius: The Rev. Francis
jaeger, pastor of the parish of st. Boni-
facius, returned last Saturday from
Serbia, where he spent seven months
as the head of the Minnesota Agricul-
tural unit sent to the Balkans last
spring by the American Red Cross.
st. Bonifacius welcomed it's pastor
with ringing bells, blowing whistles
and a stand of flags draped about a
welcome home" sign in front of the
parish house. In the evening, how
ever, came the real celebration, when
the men, women and children of the
parish gathered in the assembly hall
Of the school house. A musical pro-
gram and several addresses of well
come were given in Father Jager's
honor, and he told of his experience in
Serbia, particularly during the recent
drive to the north which restored Ser
bia to its own people after three years
occupation by the Austrians and Bull
gars. again the Serbs have fought
well and VIGOROUSLY" said Father
lager "The great drive to the north,
of which you all have read, owes it's
sensational success much more to the
determined fighting of the little
Serbian army, reduced in this war
from 100000 to $4,000, than to the
support given them by the French and
English. They had been impatient to
advance for two years, and when the
word came they carried out the bril-
liant strategic plan of General
Misitch almost to the last detail.
Misitch is one of the greatest gen.
erals who ever lived, and l hope the
history of this war will give him his
deserved place of honor. The Serbian
army felt that they wanted to get
back to their wives, families and prop
erty in Serbia or die; and they went
ahead animated and inspired by that
spirit" Father jaeger entertained at
a Homecoming dinner last Sunday, the
guests being the Rev. F. X. Bajec, the
Rev. John Seliskar,. the Rev. John
Gruden, the Rev. Thomas WEIGH and
the Rev. William NJ Wey, all of st.
Paul, and Caryl B. Storrs of Mime
