BUREAU OF MARKETS
is MOST RELIABLE
Information Given Relative to
Chicago Stock Market.
So Accurate Have Estimates Been
That Shippers and Farmers in All
Sections Place Utmost Conf
dence in Reports.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Commentator has been voiced by
Hive stock farmers and the trade con-
corning the work of the United States
bureau of markets in issuing all tele-
graphic Information of a public or
commercial character relative to the
Chicago live stock market. Previous
to the last few months such reports
were sent out promisCuously by pri-
vate individuals who, In some cases,
were accused of manipulating the re-
ports in favor of one interest or an
other. At least, this sentiment per-
vaded the trade to the extent that the
live stock industry was injured by the
mere existence of such opinion
1t was on this account that Uncle
Sam was requested to collect facts and
figures daily about the market condi-
lions and receipts and to disseminate
this authentic information as widely
as possible by telegraph. The daily
market reports include an estimate of
the daily receipts of each class of live
stock, this being one of the important
features of the service, as trading at
Chicago is based to large degree on
the Chicago run" Furthermore, the
trading on the outside markets is also
determined more or less by the vicissi-
tudes of the Chicago trade. Hence it
can be seen readily that any serious
discrepancy in the estimate Of a GER
tain day compared with the actual re-
ceipts, whether intentional or acct
dental, might influence the entire days
marketing and trading at leading live
stock centerS.
Under the system now used in Chi
cago for obtaining figures upon which
to base an accurate estimate, the serv.
ice is showing marked Improvement
over the previous efforts of private in
dividuaIs. The bureau of markets
bases it's estimate on cars reported in
and due to arrive by every railroad
each day and the result of this plan
has been so successful that the ship
pers and farmers in all sections place
confidence in the accuracy and reli.
Illustrative of the accuracy of the gov
eminent reports, many large firms at
the Chicago stockyards, which former
~ employed special men to collect this
information, are now using exclusively
the official estimates of the bureau of
markets 1t is anticipated that the
federal figures soon will be the only
ones credited at the yards"

WEAK IN AIR AT THE START
Great Britain Had but -Four Squad
rons of Airpianes, but Made
Rapid Strides.

London.-The declaration of war by
Great Britain at midnight, August 8,
1914, found the Royal Flying corps
with only four squadrons in being
representing well under 100 airplanes.
Three of these squadrons went instant
ly to France. A new squadron fol-
lowed these pioneers in about ten days
time, while a fifth squadron mobilized
and set out in "a hours, reaching the
fighting zone about the middle of Sep
TENDER.
In those early days of the war ma
chimes were used simply for strategical
reconnaissance. 1t was not until after
the battle of the Aisne, when settled
lines of warfare were established, that
artillery fire control from the air ano
the cruder forms of cooperation with
the infantry were practiced and de
veloped.

ACTIVE TO The LAST
Marines Fight on Until Armistice
Is Declared.
DeHh Dogs End Their Glorious Cam
paign by Capture of the
meuse.

Washington.-Thatm marines were ac-
tive in the world war up to the mo-
ment that the armistice went into eff
feet is evidenced In division order
signed by Major General John A. Lee
jeune, U. s. marine corps, command
ing the Second division In France, q
copy of which has just been received
in Washington.
According to the order the Devil
Dogs last act In the universal drama
was n final and definite conquest of
the Mouse river, where line after line
of marines crossed on bridges hastily
thrown across the stream by the Sec
ond engineers.
The Fifth and Sixth regiments of
marines, which received their bap-
tism of fire at Chateau-Thierry, head
ed the Second American division I'M
der General Lejeune. On November 10
they had reached the Mouse, where
the Germans had thrown up strong
Entertainments on the east bank.
Bridging the river was hazardous
feat, but 1t was accomplished by the
American engineers under heavy ar
tillery fire. Crossing the stream on
bridges but two feet in width was
still more hazardous business. But
apparently the marines consider
nothing too hazardous to at least at.
tempt.
With the enemy's artillery and ma
chine guns pouring an incessant fire
upon these slender straws of passage,
the marines advanced. Time after
time an enfllade of fire swept rows of
them into the swirling Meuse-but
they advanced.
The crossing finally effected, they
pressed on with undaunted courage
and stormed the Huns stronghold on
the east bank. The Germans gave way
before the impetus of that furious
charge and the marines again found
themselves victors In their last great
battle of the war.
