CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago, Sept S.-Irccautious against Il surprise in the government crop report mOnopoliZed most of the energy of corn traders today, and with the good reason, for the official estimate of the 1919 yield of corn proved much more bearsh than had been generally looked for. The mar kct closed weak, lower with September 1.62 3-4 and December 1.31 to 1.3l IS. Oats gained II to 1-2M5-Sc. In provisions, the outcome was q setback of 72c to S2.2o.
 Correst anticipation that the govern mcut report as to oats would favor the bulls tended to strengthen oats.
 Absence of demand, either domestic or export, lea to sharp breaks in provisions.

The 18th didn't get across. The
isappointment amounted to real
tragedy, as is easily understood
eve were ready" says one of the
writer's in the book, both in training
and spirit. After all the months of
preparation our disappointment was
bitter. And yet we try to realize
hat it came through no fault Of
ours, and that we had, each and
every one of us, our part in help
ing to win the WAL"
Another contributor observes:
"To others was given the glorious
opportunity to grapplc with the forces
of Evil, to others was granted the
right to battle for the sacred princi-
pies to which we dedicated our minds,
our bodies and our souls 1t was not
ours to traverse -plowed fields, to
brave the perils Of combat in the cruel
light of starshcll, amid the pelting
hail of shrapnel. Nor was it vouch
safed us to fall on CORY field, our only
drge the roar Of artillery and the
Shrek Of projcctilc; not ours to lie
beneath the lilies with the heroic dead
long after the kindly years have healed
the scars Of to-day.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-06-01

All this was for those who went be-
fore us. 1t was their appointed work
and they did it we'll. We revere our
warrior kindred who rest beneath the
sward in Flanders field. We glory in
their deeds and we hallow their men,
Dry AS long as man shall live the
epic of the Marine, Verdun and the
Argonne will inspire the quill of poet
and the brush of painter.
"To sing their praise were not
c..ough. A greater task awaits us. We
must carry on. Not in the tumult and
carnage Of battle, as did our brave
brothers, but in the furrowed fields
and busy marts Of n land blessed b.
peace. Ours to hold aloft the branc
which fell from their dying grasp; we
must keep aglow the altar fires of
Freedom and Democracy; we must
guard we'll that heritage rendered
thrice sacred by the blood ransom paid
on Flanders field. A solemn trust. a
stern obligation ours-to keep the
faith with those who wrote in their
own blood the most glorious anthem
in the Psalter of Humanity"

War, the Indian Campaigns, the
protection of the West, the Spanish
American War and the campaign
in Cuba, the Philippine Insurrec-
tion-a long history, and fall of
valiant service.
Ex-Presdent William II. Taft
wrote foreword for the volume,
which reads as follows:
"This is the story of the 18th Reei-
ment of Infantry in the army of the
United States. 1t is what is called a
regular regiment. 1t was made up by
voluntary enlistment and by transfer
to its ranks of some men under the
CONSUMPTION act. 1t is regiment
which was stationed and trained on
the Pacific Coast. 1t is a regiment
which was prevented from reaching
France by the influenza, by the cNne-
dition to Siberia and by the coming of
the armistice. 1t had reached the point
Of embarkation when hostilities ended.
Its members have had a great expert
cncc, although it did not involve a
battle at the front. In their desires
and their imaginations they have faced
the foes Of the world, have exposed
themselves to danger and have acquire

the drill and discipline needed in war,

with every prospect of making the ul-
innate sacrifice, if it be necessary, to
win victory. They should have the
sympathy of every one who sympathzes
with d man earnest and willing and
anxious to discharge a great duty and
denied by circumstances the opportu-
nifty to perform it. The spirit of the
men at the front was felt by the men
training at home. The prospect of the
prolongation Of the war for another
year and the certainty of their being
engaged were present in the mind of
every man in the regiment. They are
better men for this experience. They
are better men for knowing in their
hearts that they, too, without one
qualm or tremor, were ready for the
sacrifice. They are better because they
were inspired in what they did with
unselish patriotism and their souls
were permeated by real knowledge of
the Importance of the task they were
to perform and of the victory they we're
to win.
Nor should these typically American
boys and their commanders allow
themselves to feel that they did not
take part in winning this war The
Germans showed yellow streak in not
fighting this war through to the end.

not come up or had retired-the bal
looms were easier prey.
"Next day at dusk Luke went out
with Wehner and they knocked three
down. All the way back to the air
drome in the darkness they were shot
at by their own troops-French and
American-who could not distinguish
them and to whom they were unable to
give recognition signals because their
Spads were not equipped with proper
flashlights. Luke said afterward that
he had known he would have to run
the fire of his own troops; but that
he also had known they couldn't get
him.
"Rife fire did not disturb him; yet it
or machine gun fire had washed OUT

dare to take up again.

while new ships were being got ready

ing'-it has been said of him that he
was a pretty good barracks fier,
ever talking Of just what tactics any
conceivable situation would necessitate
Or scouting for souvenirs. Some
times he went up to the front lines on
foot. He was great souvenir hunter;
the prizes of his collection were two
German MaXims with their mounts. He
came back from the front in a truck
with these guns; armament, he said,
for some ranch or other on the Mexi-
can border, or-as an afterthought-
something he could sell to the Mexi-
cans for good money. Also, when not
flying he used to spend deal of time
on the ranges, both pistol and rifle.
"In the middle of the afternoon of
September 20 he and Wehner set out
