No important reaction took place in the

OATS-Oats were again in demand from
the seaboard and showed considerable

a majority as a result in some degree OF
the further pressing back of the British.
After opening unchanged OF A@$sc higher,
the market scored an additional gain, but
then underwent a material break.
MISCONCEPTIONS fell sharply
owing to a drop in hog prices Besides,
reports were current that government or

Chicago, March 30-War activities have
ruled the grain trade this week nearly to
the exclusion of all other factors. The net
result has been virtually a perfect balance
in prices Compared with week ago corn
this morning was exactly unchanged and
oats varied from ssdAc decline to &c adj
vance. Provisions showed setback of 12c
to 35c.
Bulletins telling Of the German drive
brought business almost to a standstflI
many times during the week in the corn
pit Activity of exporters gave to the oats
market at some stages a notable degree of
strength.
Big receipts of hogs together with need
of an outlet Cor neayy stocks in ware
houses explained the weakness of provfs-
ions.

To The Editor Of The Forum
The false rumors and malicious stories con-
stantly being circulated as facts, dscrediting
high officials, the Red Cross the care and
conduct of our troops the conditions Of canton
ments. etc, is German propaganda intended to
create dstrust and discomfort among people
and to discourage those working for our country.
These stories are accepted as news, and I'M
fortunately are being given the widest Circula-
ton by patriotic Americans who do not realize
that they are aiding our enemies.
The espionage act provides punishment for
those who convey any false reports or state
ments concerning the government Those who

An Editorial That May or May Not Square
With The Views OF The Forum

The New York World: 1t is a reported deci-
sion of the war department that American SOL
dters in France will not be permitted to vote
in the congressional and other elections Of next
November This conclusion has been reached,
it is announced, after much consideration, in
the light Of the effort made collect the soldier
vote last fall and in view of it's effect upon
military efficiency Soldiers in this country at
the time can vote, but their states must collect
the ballots.
Probably the truth Of the matter is that the
department merely means to say that it has
not the time or facilities to canvass the vote in
France and has no disposition to lend the time
of American soldiers the battle line to the
canvassng of the states which control their
franchise, or Of the candidates who want their
vote. Of any political agents of either Nor
could the department be expected to do less
than this in simple consideration of its primary
duty to guard the military efficiency Of the
American army abroad in disregard OF its polit-
ical efficiency at home.
We at time when the American
citizen soldier in France will vote as he shoots,
and the effectively he shoots over there the
more effectively he will be voting at home.
There will be but general and controlling
issue in the elections, and to make that issue
decisive against any and all candidates who VEN
ture to contest it the soldiers shots at the
enemy in france will do vastly more to rein
force the loyal vote at home than any number
Of soldier votes.

NO LIMIT TO THE ARMY.

Why limit it?'' was President Wilson s
reply in New York Saturday night to those
who have been calling insistently for an
army of 100000 or 100000 or 1000 900.
1t is a most cheering remark for those
who have watched the President 8 ''single
track mind" functioning during the last
two years,
The Baltimore speech showed that Presi-
dent Wilson had finally become thorough
convert to the opinion that unlimited force
end nothing else would win this war. It
showed that while he had not receded from
his plainly enuneiated war aims, or from
his belief in the value, of pitiless public
ity" for the business Of Americas cause
he had fully made up his mind that nothing
but the crushing power Of arms would
avail against Germany.
His remark in New York but emphasizes
this attitude. There will be no artificial
limit to the size Of the American army. 1t
viii depend wholly upon the ability to
raise, equip and transport men
What this figure win be, may be judged

from what has been accomplished. Far
more than" 100000 men are now in
France, according to the announcement Of
Secretary Baker. They are going forward
at the rate of more than 10000 a month,
and it is believed that the estimate Of l.,
100000 men in France by July 1 is very
conservative. Premier Clemenceau's paper
in Paris stated that America had promised
100000 fighting men and 100000 in all
by the end Of the year. Whether this was
a definite "promise" is doubtful, but it
probably was the careful estimate of the
war department.
But since these estimates were made, the
"no limit" policy has become fixed in
President Wilson's mind, and the former
figures are valueless. The rate Of trans
port is steadily increasing, and if it is pos
sible to send 100000 men this year, they
will 60 The bigger the army, the sooner
it will be over, and if America is prepared
to make big enough effort, the war cen

Plan Presents
Trench Feet Z
az Associated Press.l

Washington, May 1S.-Prepara-
tions for safeguarding the health of
American soldiers ip Europe include
exhaustive studies by officers Of the
army medical department Of new
diseases or those previously known
which are found to be more preva-
lent in the army than in civil life.
None has attracted more attention
than trench foot" the subject of a
bulletin issued from the office Of the
surgeon general presenting the con-
illusions of prominent men VINO nave
investigated the malady in France.
Although the disease is a pro-
nounced accompaniment OF trench
warfare, it's genesis is referable prl-
marily to cold. Among the predis-
posing factors, curiously enough. is
the excessive use of tobacco, which,
it is asserted, paralyzes the nerve
ends of the vasomotor nerves., other
factors being lack of acclimatization
to cold, enfeebled circulation. under
nourishment and loss Of sleep.
Fundamentally, trench foot is
nothing but frost bite, aggravated by
war conditions. AS the feet begin to
swell there is pain around the an
kles or in parts of the leg where
ClfculaJlOn is not stopped. dLlSIIeS
obtaining treatment in early stages
of the disease soon lose the numb
ness OF. their limbs and the normal
color returns.
The methods of jacks in
the northwest. who wear oversize
shoes and boots and carefully dry
their stockings at every opportunity,
were cited as excellent prevention.

ARGUMENT NOT NEEDED.

Arguing for the Red Cross is like
preaching honesty to respectable COM
munity.
It isn't necessary any more.
The possession of 100000 members in
the United States is striking proof Of the
absolute confidence the American people
have in this great organization One per-
tson in every five is a member.
Therefore when the Red Cross comes for
ward asking for funds to carry on its
work, it is not question Of "Shall l
give9' but How much can possibly af-
ford to give7"
Fargo's allotment is $4,000
Of course we are going to raise it this
week. It is simply question of how
quickly we will do it, and with how little
fuss.
