Chicago Grain.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Unfavorable weather for the crop movement put the corn market today on the upgrade. Receipts here were again disappoint- ingly small, and there was no likeli- hood of any immediate betterment in the face of a blizzard coming from the west. Demand, however, was not of an aggressive sort. Opening prices which ranged from the same as yes terday's finish to Is cent higher, with March $1.26 3-4 and May $1.25 to S1.- 25 IA, were followed by a moderate further advance.
 Oats jumped to new high prices rec ords for the season. The market was almost bare of offerings. After open ing Is to 3-4 cent higher, with May at 79 IA to 79 518 cents prices contin- ued to ascend.
 Lack of selling pressure caused an advance in provisions. Lower quota tions on hogh were ignored.
 Weekend adjustment of trades led subsequently, to a slight reaction. The close was unsettled Is to IA to 3-8 net higher, with March $1.26 3-4 and May SIPS IA to 3-8.

PREPARE FOR 10 YEAR WAR
Such Is Advice of Arthur c. Ryan,
Who Says Germany Will Fight
To Last Man.

Kansas City, Feb. 27.-Allowing
Germany to find its sphere in Russia
will not make the world safe for de-
mocracy, Arthur c. Ryan, missionary
forced to leave Turkey in 1916, told
the Westminster Forum audience at
the First Congregational church last
night. If the Allies win the war they
must not allow Germany to secure the
vast resources of that country for use
in another. world war after it has re-
covered from its losses in the present
conflict, he said.
Mr.. Ryan emphasized the import
ance of the Eastern war front and sug-
gested that by massing it's forces
against it Germany could quickly
wrest from the allied forces all they
have gained in the east and dominate
territory of supreme importance.
In discussing causes of the war, Mr..
Ryan said that European diplomats
had been playing great game with
the map in Europe for the last century
and that the desire to dominate the
world had led by successive stages to
antagonism by Germany of the peo-
pies of seven-eighths of the world
Germany, he said, had gained 95 per
cent of the things it started out to
gain in the war, but would lose all of
them and more in the end.
But Germany will fight to the last
man and the last mark to keep what
it has gained" Mr. Ryan declared
land it is just as well to prepare for
a 10-years war"
MI Ryan said the Turkish army
would stay in the conflict to the end
regardless of what happened to civil
ians in the Far East. Millions of
them could die without the govern.
ment concerning itself about them so
long as the soldiers could be fed, he
said.
