WEATHER GOOD
And CORN WEAK
Unhealthy Bulge by Hogs and Ex-
cellent Growing Conditions for
Crops Hurt Prices.

Chicago. June Weakness de-
veloped in the corn market today
owing more or less to excellent
weather conditions for the growing
crops The fact that values had
bulged more than 10 cents within
week had a tendency also TO
bring about a reaction. Besides,
there was a sharp drop this morn
ing in quotations in hogs, and this
diminished the margin of feeding
profit in grain. Opening prices
which ranged from sc to 112c
lower, with July 1.7512 to 1.75A and
September 1894 to 10 were fol-
lowed by a moderate additional set
back.
Oats descended with corn. After
opening &c to 24c off, including
July at Tic to 7l12c. the market re-
coded a little more before begin
ming to rally.
Provisions were depressed by the
bearish action of cereals and hogs.
Most of the busjness was in lard.

of which the powers have received
but one side. Germany is invited to
produce evidence which will accel-
crate a final decision.
Foe Proposal Meaningless.
The reply says that the Germans
made no definite offer as to repara-
tions but gave only vague express
sions of willingness TO do sDme-
thing"
The sum of 100000, 900 900 marks
which was mentioned in the enemy
counter proposals, is said TO give
the impression of an extensive Of
fer, which upon examination il
proves not to be. Interest was not
to be paid, and until 1928 there
would be no substantial payment,
after which there could be a cries
of underlined installments running
over nearly half a century.
Declaring that the resumption of
German industry is of interest to
the allies, as well as TO Germany,
the reply declares that commercial
facilities will not be withheld from
Germany but they will afford to

Meanwhile the treaty must be
signed" the reply declares. The
burdens Of Germany undoubtedly
are heavy, but they are imposed
under conditions of justice by peo-
Piles whose social well-being and
economic prosperity have been
gravely impaired by wrongs which
it is beyond the utmost power OF
Germany TO repair"
In the financial section of the
reply it is stipulated that repair
ton must be made prior to the
settlement of all other German
public deaths with such exceptions
as the commission may approve
Payment for food may also be a
first charge, and gold may be eX-
ported on approval.
Germany must pay the expense
of military occupation, as an es-
sent'al Uarantee of peace, and war
material surrendered after the
armistiCe can not be credited
against reparation. Liberated ter
ritories will bear their portion OF
the pre-war debt, but will not as
sumo any part of the war debt it.

Willard July 4th.
BY ]. l.. HUGHES.

The sportiveiy inclined of this
fair city are discussing nothing
these days but that which relates
to the coming setto between Jess
Willard and Jack Dempsey at To-
ledo on July A. Although the big
battle is stiII nearly three weeks in
the distance. interest has reached
the point where the fans are lay
ing down cold cash on the out
come
Dempsey appears to be the ia
vorite locally. and it is certain
there will be great rejoicing in
town if the yOungster is returned
the champion OF the world as a re-
suit of the independence day
classic fist contest.
While the fans are pulling for
Jack to upset the huge Jess, there
are none rash enough to wager on
even terms. There are plenty
though who have grabbed eagerly
at odds of about ; to l that the
challenger will send the champion
to the mat for the count of ten.
One man posted s35 TO 500 in a To-
cal sport emporium that Dempsey
would win via the K. o. route.
Dempsey hackers are plainly in
evidence but are finding it diff
ficult proposition TO obtain Willard
money at such odds. Before the
big day rolls around it is predicted
that the odds will have simmered
down closer to earth, and that
both sides will be ready to take
the chance.
Dams Leaves for Toledo.

entertain the same aspirations are
exnected to strike for Toledo be-
fore the week is ended.
Bad Eye Retards Jack.
The cut over one of Dempsey s
ewes sustained in a training bout
with one of his sparring partners
last week has not yet completely
healed, and the challenger will not
do any serious work with the
gloves until along at the end OF
the week. His manager, Jack
Kearns. announced this after he
had been advised by physicians
that it would be risky to allow
Dempsey to participate in any
rough work.

signing of the treaty.
Refuse TO Discuss Principles.

Refuse to Discuss Principles.
The allied and associated powers
refuse to enter into a discussion
with the principles underlying the
reparation clauses, but certain OBJ
servations are made, especially as
the German proposals are said to
present a view so distorted and in
exact as to raise a doubt if the
clauses were calmly and carefully
examined" The problem of repaca-
tions is of such extraordinary
magnitude and compleXity that it
can be solved only by a continuing
body, limited in personnel and in
vested with broad powers. The
leparation commission, the reply
declares, is Instructed to exercise
its powers so as to insure in the
interest of all as easily and COM
plete a discharge by Germany of
her reparation obligations as Is
consistent with the true mainten-
anceL of the social, economic and
financial structures of Germany.
VIII See That Foe Pays.
1t is pointed out that the com
mission is not an engine of oppTes-
with Germany's sovereignty. its
business is to fix what is to be paid,
justify itself that Germany can pay
and report in case Germany does
not pay. The commission can not
prescribe or enforce taxes or dlc-
tate the character of the German
budget, but may examine the latter
to see if any modification is desir-
able, probably in Germany's inter
ests, and to be assured that Ger
man taxation is at least as heavy as
the heaviest of the allies, 1t Is
pointed out that not only are the
conditions not Incompatible TO APP
pointment by Germany of a cum
mission to represent her in dealing
with the reparation commission
and for such cooperation as may
be necessary, but it is greatly to be
desired, that she will take exactly
that step.
MAY Help Ease Own Burden.
The powers are willing that with
in four months of the signature of
the treaty Germany may submit,
any proposals she may choose TO
make. In particular, she may ol,er
a lump sum for all or part of her
liability. undertake to reconstruct
all or part of a damaged district, Of
fer labor, technical service or ma
terial for reconstruction, or. I'm
short. suggest any feasible plan 10
simplify the assessment of damage,
eliminate any question from the
scope of the inquiry, promote the
performance of the work or accel-
crate the definition of the ultimate
amount to be paid.
Germany must, however. nego-
tiate direct with the powers con-
cerned before making the propos
ais, submit them in unambiguOus
form and accept the reparation
clauses as matters beyond dispute.
No arguments OF appeals directed
to any alterations will be entertain
ed.
Within two months thereafter tho
allied and associated powers will
answer such proposal and agree to
consider seriously and fairly any
suggestions made. II is said the
o. ohlem is largely one Of statistics.

Among the remarkable indorse-
ments of DR.. o. A. Johnson's cancer

r. c. White, 421 Park Ave-, of Sail

II am, as I think well of the
cancer in my right breast.
commenced your treatment Ju-
ly 13, 1916. and when 1 came to
your office / was physical
wreck. l had been treated by
doctor who said / had gall

that made my stomach and bow
els raw, and DR.. johnson had a
time with me to get me healed
up. 1t took much longer to
cure my stomach than the can
GER. The doctor cured my sto-
mach when the doctors here
said l would never be cured
Il wish l could persuade everyone
afflicted with cancer to go to you
for treatment, for / know 1t was you
that cured me. 1 was rs years old
when went to commence treatment,
and now my health is better than for
years.
'Dr. Johnson gave me medicine
internally, as well as externally,
"hiSh SiCdiCu up Sybt6m. i cut
well and sleep well, and am enjoy
cancer returning.
Il saw many ut DR.. Johnson's Of
flee that had been cured, and some
he'd been cured for years. l am able
to testify to this, and that DR.. John
on is able to cure any cancer that
can be cured, therefore, advise any
person who fs afflicted with that
dread disease, cancer, not to put off
going to DR.. Johnson for treatment,
for l know there is danger in putting
it off. l have seen them cured by
DR.. johnson after the knife had been
used, so / do most earnestly advise
everyone with cancer not to put off
going to be cured"
DR.. Johnson has published a re-
markable book called Cancer
Truths" being a statement of his
theories and experiences in treating
cancer without the knife. Purely
medicinal measures only are en-
ployed; that is, external applications
to destroy the cancer and internal
medication to purify the blood. The
book will be sent gladly to any can
