was an advance Of 20 to 80 cents.
| Until reports touching peace began
to be circulated, the corn market had
no decided downward tendency. Pros
poets Of Il more plentiful distribution
OF cars in the west had eased prices a
little. but the outlook for more snow
and of colder weather likely to hinder
any Improvement in traffic conditions
acted as nearly an offset. News, how
ever, that Bulgaria and Russia had
signed SEPARATE peace led to increased
selling pressure Subsequently when
word came that Germany had asked
Sweden 10 become Il peace aid the
market showed still greater weakness.
Something of a rally ensued. at the
last but the upturn seemed noticcably-

brought about sharp breass in the

court martial as a result of an investi'

The court martial was ordered yes
terday by Secretary Baker after the

Public notice was attracted to Camp
Doniphan conditions when Senator
Chamberlain made public letter
written by Private Hestwocd's father,
which told of unclean hospital condi-
tons.
The report states that the fathers
charges were substantially correct
and that there was an insufficient
supply of bed linen and of experienced
attendants and that patients went for
long periods without bath or with.
out even having their hands and faces
washed.
The investigation holds Major Con-
nelly responsible for hospital condi.
tions, which are characterized as
nothing short of deplorable."

London, March 1.-(Delayed)-R
ter's has issued the following state
ment, from an authoritative Japanese
source in London:
Japan has put forward no sugges-
lions regarding any action that may
be necessary as a result of the Rus
sian situation. The plain facts are
that few days ago Japan addressed
inquiries to the allied governments
asking for an expression of their views
on the latest developments in Russia
There has been no proposal, military
or otherwise, by Japan.
at is pointed out that Japan did
not enter the var under any terms or
agreements with the allies which
would suggest that there had even
been any question of ACKNOWLEDGMENT
in the mind of Japan. There was no
such thought when japan embarked
on hostilities and if she has to extend
operations her object Will not be ag-
1.-THE new menace is one directly
the far east and immedi.
ately involving Japan's security. jap
ans Interpretation of her position is
that she is responsible for the main
tenance of peace and security in the
far east. A German menace already
exists in eastern Siberia and was well
known to the allies even before the
latest German advance into Russia"
