Chicago. Sept. 5.-Corn-Deterred
deliveries recovered about the loss Of
yesterday while September corn, after
today's bulge was still about ; cents
lower than Wednesday. The chief rea-
son for the advance was that in
short space OF time. corn has declined
more than 40 cents per bushel and so.
despite bearish news, many traders
who have been persistently bearish are
disposed to take profits and await re-
action. a slight Improvement is noted
in the cash demand on break from this
level. but spot markets generally were
not up as much as futures.
Oats-In sympathy with corn. oats
reacted after an early break. There
was a good deal OF selling on a cable
gram from Liverpool to the effect that
stocks Of oats and barley afloat are
practically unstable and that ware
house space IS scarce. Receipts here
are lighter, with wheat and corn. tav-
ing preference, both on the part Of
country sellers and the railroad ad-
ministration.
Provisions--Packers were credited
with absorbing the floating surplus
and shorts found difficulty in covering.
Hogs were strong on the lighter re-
ceipts, due to the unwillingness Of the
country to ship on a declining market.

Tanks Ate "Monkey-Meat"

When the Americans were strengthen ing their position just before the Belleau wood offensive, every precaution was taken to conceal their operations from the enemy. Under the circumstances, ac- cording to Maj.-Gen. Omar Bundy, writ ing in Everybody's, "the supply of cooked or hot food to the front line was most difficult. No fires could be built, as the tell-tale smoke would be a target for the German guns. The rolling kitchens were put in sheltered places four or five miles in the rear of the front line, and cooked food and hot coffee were carried forward from them at night in large cans, loaded on the mule-drawn carts. Only one hot meal was served during the 24-hour day, and it was frequently cold by the time it reached the men in the front line. This continued during the entire 40 days in which the division held the front line. We received the French ration, part of which was canned beef shipped from Madagascar. It had a peculiar taste which our men did not like. They called it money meat and it soon became known by that name throughout our army"

THE LOVE OF AN UNKNOWN
 SOLDIER"

"Anonymous." The John Lane com
 pany, publishers, New York city.
 Some months ago an officer on leave
 from the western front brought to England a document of peculiar and poignant interest. It was ehe love autobio graphy of an unknown fighter which had been discovered in an aban'
 doned dugout Beyond the fact thai
 "he" was an artillery subaltern and that "she" was an American Red Crost
 worker with the French armies, thera was no clue to the author or the con
 fession or to the identity of the girl
 to whom 1t was addressed. And Wheth- CT he has been killed or wounded. cap
 tured or is still fighting, no one knows.
 These papers, torn and mud-stalned,
 were brought to Mr. John Lane, who once before, in the case of The MS. Tn a Red Box" was able to discover missing author. MT. Lane at once de- cided to publish this confession, not only on account of it's touching revela- tion of the heart of this unknown sol
 dier, but in the hope that 1t may reacn and comfort the girl for whom it was intended and lift from her life what nav have seemed the injustice Of his silence.
 A facsimile page of the MS. has been | included as frontispiece to the vol ume, with the hope that It may leau | to the unknown soldiers Identification. ! Now the first question that strikes the readers mind is this: Since the letters were written by an officer In the | trenches to an American girl in Paris since they were received by the Amer 1 ican girl and answered Cthe writer mentions letters from her in reply to his). how could those letters possibly be found in. the trenches?
 1 Presumably they would be reposing I in some room in Paris inhabitated by ] the adored one. The last letter ends ] with a dash--we are to believe that | the officer was killed in the very act | of writing. How did this last letter come to be so neatly folded in the Red Box" If some friend sufficiently in terested and found them, would he not have forwarded them to the girl?
 /, An idea of the letters themselves IS
 best conveyed t- one sentence, In
 which the writer says: "I should like
 to know that when I am dead you
 would take me in your arms and give
 me the kisses which, while I lived. were not allowed" The impression left by
 the book is that, if the letters were
 genuine. they should not have beer
