CHICAGO. Nov l5.-Fresh llquida-
ton, which found support poor, de-
Neloped today In the corn market.
Breaks in foreign exchange with sterling
az q new low record had a decided bear
ism influence. and so, too, did larger
receipts. Opening quotations which
ranged from &c to lisc lower, with
December $1.29h TO $l.29h and Nav
VIA to N.2lh, were followed by a ana
terlal further setback.
Toward the last, weekend adjust
ment OF trades steadied the market
somewhat. The close, however, was
weak, 1hc to ENC net lower, with De-
cember, $t.27B to S1.27M and Nav.
$l.23& to $i.23h.
Oats descended with corn. After
opening BMAc to &c down, including
December az 72bc. the market continued
to sag.
Provisions were easier as a result of
the grain weakness.
In the later dealings, the market dis
played but little power to rally. Virtu-
ally no business at all in pork was
done.

COTTON MARKETS
Liquidation Brings
Fresh Break, But NearS
Fairly Steady.
satnrdav afLernoon. Noy. l5.


Indications that the wave Of hquida-
ton had been by no means ended were
furnished during the short session OF
the market when quotations worked
shaply lower, except that the near
months held fairly steady, thereby re-
flecting confidence In the stability Of
the spot department. Uncertainty as
to the money situation and the attitude
Of federal reserve bank officials as to
speculative accounts apparently were
dominant Influences In encouraging the
setback. However, there were unOffi-
cial denials hat any action looking to
calling of loans on cotton was on
templated. But the professional ele-
ment may have had some limitations
as to purely speculative accounts, hence
the selling at a time when buyers were
comparatively scarce.
Overnight news was not OF much i'm
portance, although the weekly statistics
made bearish comparisons. The weather
In the entire belt was favorable, skies
being clear this morning with tempera-
lures o and the promise for fair and
warmer. An estimate Of 9,945, 900 bales
on the crop, exclusive of linters, from
a New Orleans firm, failed to attract
much attention. Just before the close
were circulated that some sort
of bearish report was coming from a pri-
foAN NY but uSlAllb WSTe tdCklUB
and 1t was probably not a factor in
the break.
Money news was eagerly awaited and
the fHct that exchange was lower than
ever, sterling being down to A.10& for
cables and German marks down to 2.b0c.
Uncertainties 10 to labor matters also
shared in the bearish feeling in some
quarters.
Finals in New York were weak and
from 70 to ITO points to the bad, while
New Orleans was weak and from 10 to
lol points. Liverpool on Monday should
6S to IS points down TO make full
response.
In the spot department business was
small In most centers. but Dallas sold
!, 1870 bales, middling being down to
$3.50 Houston sold S,975 bales and
middling was reduced to 40c, New Or
cans sold 1850 bales and middiIng was
rs points to $3.50. Memphis made
change, middtng at 42c, and sold
1850 bales.

DESTRUCTION OF CERMANYS WAR
 POWER BEST GUARANTEE OF PEACE
Senator Lodge Asserts in Address At Harvard Com mencement-R Reforms Must Come Slowly
 By Evolution.

Cambridge, Mass, June 19-Les- sons for America in Germany's mi1i-
 tary aggression following years of eff fort toward world peace and in Rus sia's BoIshevist rule were emphasized
 in an address here today by U. S. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
 chairman of the Senate Foreign Rela-
 tions Committee. at the commence
 ment exercises of Harvard Univer-
 sity.
 Destruction of Germany's war pow
 CT, Senator Lodge declared, now is the
 best guarantee of world peace. Misery
 wrought by Bolshevism in Russia, he
 asserted, proves that reforms must come slowly, by evolution and that
 present conditions may be endanger- ed, "by vain1y striving for a glittering impossibility.'
 MT. Lodge made no direct reference to the peace treaty or the league of nations, but in discussing peace efforts and Germany's course, he said:
 there was a quite general belief that
 serious wars would not come again. Some doubted and for their skeptic- ism were called jingoes,' war lovers | and 'pessimists'. "Rut almost everyone felt sure that 1 if war should again break upon us its horrors would be reduced to the | lowest point and that by the conven- 1 ton of Geneva and The Hague, the i sufferings and cruelties of past wars | would be largely eliminated i Suddenly the great war came. Ger
 many, esteemed by all a highly civil
 ized nation, entered deliberately upon a course of savage cruelty worse than ! any ever imagined because it was
 carefully organized The world had 1 known barbarian before, but never I had anything fallen upon men com parable to the scientific wholesale
 atrocities carried on by Germany, by | which not merely individuals but en- i tire communities were subjected to | the most hideous sufferings and the | most utter ruin which highly trained ! minds entirely destitute of humanity | could devise.
 "As for treaties and laws, they i went in the fierce flame of war as | quickly as the dry leaves of autumn
 when a spark falls among them.

Smith and Sergeant 4John w John son.
 The smoker and entertainment .t the armory last night was complete success. Those who contributed were Miss Nellie Murray, soprano, of this city; Thomas Neary and Robbie Gore, late of the Six American dancers; George McDonough, tenor; Bill Too mey, monologist, and Frank Burney of Polls. Alvin Bruel led in Commu- nifty singing. The Salvation Army quintet was heartily received and ren- dered some of the selections that had made them the idols of the boys in France.
 MT. Lavery spoke briefly of the athletic carnival to be held at Sea- side park on July and of the Service Recognition Medals, which would be given all men registered with the Welcome Home comittee. These MT. Lavery explained would be the means of gaining admittance to ai, theteres and other entertainments during the week of June 29-Ju1y 4. MT. Lavery also outlined the plan of entertain ment to be given the men by fraternal and social organizations of Bridge port.
 Lynn w Wilson made a short talk in which he pointed out that rel atives and friends of the boys who i had not been able to see them parade in Boston and New York were anx- ious to see them in line here | He asked for a rising vote of all 1 those in favor of a parade. Every man stood up.
 1 MT. Wilson asked if they would i raise a committee of their own nEm- Der to aid the civic committee. Hhs

World War Veterans Vote
 Unanimously to Turn Out
 For the Good Home Folks
CContinued from Page 1.)

T I-J
 MT Flames is a very important part of the committee which the city has raised for recognition week. He has the duty of getting up the parade. The task wasn't so easy. The soldiers had no organization that embraced any considerable number of them. The only way to reach them was by mail. So. MT. Flames sent out a letter. The response was prompt and generous and the boys came through with everything that had been expected of them.
 The parade as it will be organized for the Fourth will made up only of World War veterans. This dscision on the part of Albert E. Lavery at the meeting last night evoked considera- rble cheering, just as his original re- quest for a parade had brought forth some groans. Other units outside of
 regular army, navy or marine corps men can parade, but not along with the domestic sercvice and overseas veterans of the regular army, old na- tional guard and national army
 Major Frederick J. Adams, Bridge ports senior World War veteran, was made chairman of a military commit ltee to work with the civilian commit tee in arranging. the parade. Others who will serve on the committee are Captain Charles H. Sprague, Ideuten- ant Albert J. Merritt, Sergeant Ralph

E'The beautiful scheme of making
 mankind suddenly virtuous by astute
 or written convention was once
 more exhibited in all it's weak
 ness.
 Tt is a melancholy reflection that
 the best assurance of the future
 peace of the world lies in the de-
 struction of the German war power,
 which is worth all it cost.
 "Once again comes the harsh lesson
 that all the advances of man in
 morals and in altruism, in charity
 and gentler manners and purer laws, all that really remain with us, come slowly, never in a moment" Experience of the past, Senator Lodge declared, must be a guide to future actions.
 T fervently hope" he said to the Harvard graduates, that you will have visions and dream dreams, but
 do not forget that having visions is one thing while being a visionary, especially a visionary whose visions 1 and ideals are stage properties, is l quite another
 | What troubles me most about the 1 books and articles and speeches by our most advanced thinkers setting forth new panaceas and systems for all the evils is that they are generally i so very old a fact apparently disre- garded by their authors, who very properly despise a past which only l rises up to be troublesime.'' | Russian Bolshevism, Mr Lodge said in conclusion, presents a warning to America in it's awful results of a 1 scheme which it's authors pretended and their dupes believed would make all men happy in a moment | "1n letters of fire" said. MT. Lodge, this Russian scene says to us, this way lies ruin.'
 Does the United States tell us trunapet-tQ1gued that the country for which this younger generation has died is still the best hope for mankind and that it must be preserved as their fathers preserved and saved it in the days that are gone? re Americans first, Americans last and America,1 ,1s always. From this firm foundation
 you can march on. Abandon it and chaos will come, as when the civiIiza- l ton of Rome crashed down in irreme- l diable ruin.'
