MARK OF 5000
is APPROACHED
Number of Disabled Soldiers in
Training Runs High With New
Cases Up Every Day.

When numbers begin running
into the thousands, its about time
to find out what they stand for.
Two thousand, eight hundred and
ninety-eight men who were dis
abIed in the service which they
rendered the country in the late
war as soldiers, sailors or marines
have entered some form of train
ing with the federal board for vo-
cational education.
Nearly four hundred new men ev-
cry day ask for a chance to learn
some profession or trade. Often
they are getting the desire of their
lives when the board finances them
through a course in college which
they could never afford before.
They are interested in the two
things the board tells them: First,
that there is a job for every man,
however handicapped he may think
he is, and second, that the chief re-
quirement for carrying on is the
will power to go to it.

aeology is one of the means adopted
recently by the former German en-
peror to keep his mind from dwell
ing constantly on his position. Pro-
fessor Duerpfeld, one of the most
eminent archaeologists of Germany,
came to join the Hohenzollern cir

his arrival has spent several hours
almost every afternoon in his rOr-
mer monarch's company.
Every phase of archaeological re-
search is discussed during these
conversations, in the course OF
which the professor entertains the
exile with details of the discoveries
made by him and his companions in
Palestine, Syria and other sections

an old companion of Hohenzollern
with whom he spent some time on
the Island of Corfu, where the one
time German ruler owned the Cas-
tie of Achilleion.

At present the entire suite except
the marshal of the court, Won Con

cottages. All of them have full NIB

WEEKLY PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, June 2S.-Corn prices
for the September and December
deliveries advanced on the market
this week influenced by the ap-
proach of the signing of the peace
treaty and crop prospects. Until
the agreement to sign became GER
tain July corn shared in the uplift,
but later fell away on advance of
demand for immediate delivery.
Compared with a week ago prices
this morning were 11sc to 31s C
higher for September and Deem
Der corn and 21zc to 37sc lower for
July, oats were Ac to 1sc lower
and provisions from 30c higher to
75c lower
In addition to the effect which
overseas news had on the market
the reduction of corn acreage eou-
pied with reports of adverse wealth
er helped to advance prices which
early in the week touched the high
point for the July grain. Demand
for the nearby months did not sup
port advanced prices. Distant de-
liveries, however. held a large pro-
portion Of their gains.
Oats moved in sympathy with
corn crop conditions having a
large bearing on the market fluctu-
ations from day to day.
Provisions were strong through
out the week, price changes being
within narrow limits.

Celebration of Constitution Day VIII
Be Observed if Plans of Organization
of Patriotic Bodies VIII Materialize

Constitution day. Sept. IT, the
anniversary of the birthday of the
constitution OF the United States,
may be made a permanent national
| day of patriotic celebration.
! The idea of creating a permanen"
/ popular recognition OF the consti-
/ tuition by a national yearly patri-
otto celebration on Sept. II is the
result of the Inauguration of d
nationwide simultaneous demon
stration on that day this year as J
/ popular protest against the in
creasing spread in this country of
un-American influences So great
has been the interest anc coopera-
ton aroused by this movement
| that it is now hoped to eventually
make the yearly celebration of
Constitution day approximate the
Fourth of July. While the celebra-
ton of the declaration of indie
pendence has continued until the
world is united upon its princi-
piles, the constitution. which has
successfully embodied these prin-
ciples for 30 years and is the
more concrete thing to dwell upon,
has not been made the theme for
the eulogy it deserved.
The success of the nationwide
celebration of Constitution day this
year, which the announcement of
the progress of the plans of the
organization committee assures be
yond doubt, probably will result
in a petition to congress to make
n
ture years.
AmericaniZatiOn Medium.
Patriotic bodies launched the
Constitution day celebration this
year as a medium of Americaniza-
ton. Their idea is to create a
great patriotic demonstration Of
Americanism as a means of Coun-
teracting the disorganizing and de-
structive forces Of b0lshevism. an
archy and radical socialism.
The Constitution day celebration
organization committee has divided
the country into state units for the
carrying out of the plan. Each
state will have state director.
who in turn will have under him
directors in the counties. The
state directors will be leading cit
liens, selected largely from the
Constitution day celebration hon
orary committee, which is operat-
ing as an auxiliary of the organ
ization committee and includes in
its membership the governors of
practically half of the states of
the union, the mayors of many of
the most Important cities of the
country, heads of state boards of
education, bar associations. cham
bers of commerce, etc. The full
list of state directors viii be made
public in a few days.
Thousands OF Meetings.
These state directors and their
assistants, with the cooperation o.
the local branches of the societies
associated in the organization com
mittee and the local members of
the honorary committee. are now
organizing thousands of prelim-
mary Americanization meetings for
constitution popularization and in
depreciation. which will eliminate
in the nationwide simultaneous
demonstration on Sept II.
Many men of national reputation
have already agreed to make ad-
