concerning Sergeant Magill in all the
camps in the hope of reaching some
friend of the marine or some member
of his regiment who can throw light on
the mystery.
Gerald Magill left this country May
26, 1918, with a replacement battalion
of marines, and was later assigned to
the Forty ninth Company of the Fifth
Regiment. He fought in all the big bat
ties of the marines to the end of the
war.
Letters were received by his family
every two weeks until October 13. Since
then information has been received
from the marine headquarters at Wash .
ingtop that Gerald Magill was promoted
to sergeant on October II, and on
November II was transferred to a re-
placement battalion via hospital.
Inasmuch as Sergeant Magill was re-
ported alive long after the fighting
ceased, his mother believes that he
may be suffering from aphasia or shell
shock and may be in hospital.

The reply the Pennsylvania Ga
zette, in part, says:
There has never been any discrimi
nation against members of the Wharton
School faculty in the matter of salaries.
On the contrary, the teachers in this
school, through the evening and ex-
tension schools, have means of supple
menting their incomes not available TO
those in other departments. Neither
has the University, through its pro
vost, trustees or dean, ever attempted
to curtail the activities of its teachers
in any department, nor has it interfered
with the free expression Of their opinion
on any OCCASION"

CHICAGO.
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, April 14.-Wet weather
likely to interfere with the crop move
ment had a bullish effect today on
corn. Besides arrivals this morning
were much less plentiful than had
been looked for. Announcement that
six additional vessels had been as
signed to the transportation Of food
stuffs to Europe from the United
States tended also to strengthen the
market. Opening prices which ranged
from a half cent to l 1-2 cents higher,
with May sl.59 1-4@1-2 and July
s1.52M1-2, were followed by a mod
crate reaction.
Apprehension that continued rains
meant serious delays to seeding gave
opening 1-4@3-S cents higher. with
.July 81 "a to So the market held firm
at near the top Of the initial range.
Pork and lard ascended to the
highest prices ever known, pork go
ing above ISL a barrel and lard above
$50 a cwt. for May delivery. Urgent
export demand. together with De
creasing supplies of hogs, was said to
be responsible.
Record breaking high prices for
provisions counted somewha as a
bullish factor in the corn trade. Corn
closed strong al IL to "a cents net
advance with May 1.60h and july
1899 to 1881.
At the topmost point reached
$53.25, May pork showed an ADVANCE
OF $3.50 a barrel as compared Win
Saturdays finish. Offerings were
scarce except from longs.
