Tyranny of Officers
Rule, Not Exception,
Says Organization

Washington. November S.-The
Private Soldiers and Sailors Legion
today, in a letter to Secretary Weeks,
declared that unless the records of
the war department have been tam
pered with" a scrutiny of them will
furnish "all the evidence necessary
to prove conclusively that tyranny,
brutality and abuse were the rule and
not the exception in the attitude of
A. E. f. The letter was written in
connection with Mr.. Weeks request
that the American Legion assist in
securing facts relative to alleged
officers toward enlisted men" in the
mistreatment of soldiers.
Company funds. accumulated to
purchase extra rations for the enlisted
men, were in large number of cases
embezzled by the officers who had
them in their possession and were dis
sipated by these officers in drunken
orgies with women and wlne," the
letter charged, and cited as a specific
instance of alleged brutality a case
at the army hospital at Savenay,
France. A wounded man. it was de-
clared, was sentenced by the COM
handing officer to a term at hard
labor, without trial, for having re-
fused to do ward labor"
The suggestion was made that Sec
rotary Weeks extend Ito all former
enlisted soldiers, regardless of
whether or not they are members of
any organization" his invitation to
come forward with evidence.
The letter was signed by the ma
tional executive committee of the le-
gion, Marion Gates Sperry, national
chairman, and Earl l.. Seal, national
secretary

Birmingham, November Sin the
absense of the northern markets.
both Liverpool and New Orleans
ruled extremely dull during today's
session. prices remaining about I'M
changed from yesterdays finals. The
trade continues to wait for the bu-
reau report that will be issued by the
government on the opening hour to-
morrow morning. The percentage
ginned last year to November | was
56.6 per cent: in 1919 it was So
per cent. and in 1916 IT was 1873 per
cent. Ginnings of 100000 bales this
year would bear a relation of S6.7
per cent to a total of 100000 bales.
If the percentage ginned should be
90 per cent, then the indicated crops
would be around 100000. If census
ginnings tomorrow should be only g.
800 900 bales. then a percentage of 81
ginned would mean total of $780,
600 bales. and on a 90 per cent basis
1t would mean crop of 100000
bales. Reasoning along such lines is
the basis for ideas that the crop total
is larger than the last bureau esti-
mate of s537. 900 bales.-S. r. Stew

BULLS BUSY IN THE
WHEAT MARKET DUE
TOSOME NEW TURNS
Oats and Corn ParaIeIIed
Wheat in Their Upward
Slant, While Provisions
List Varied
BY Associated Press

Chicago, November S.-Bullish sem
timent became more apparent in the
wheat market today than for con-
siderable time past. Some renewal
of transatlantic buying of United
States breahstuffs, together with
falling off in receipts, helped as a
stimulus towards confidence. The
finish. although unsettled. was IS q
1s.c net higher. Corn gained 1sc TO
11s91hc, and oats * g2Ac. In pro-
provisions the outcome varied from
lie decline to DC advance.
With Holland reported as having
purchased hard winter wheat at the
Gulf of Mexico, and with Sweden
said to have taken liberal amount
OF rye, the wheat market here moved
upward in ready manner, subject to
only moderate occasional setbacks.
Gossip was current that the Italian
government would be buyer next
week, and the market was unaffected
ly reports that an Italian firm was
in financial difficulties. Offerings
from the country proved small, and
this circumstance, when taken in
connection with the much smaller
cceipts at all points, were deemed
ri especial Significance. in some
quarters. A good of attention was
also given to complaints from the
southwest that prolonged dry
Weather was injuring the outlook for
the winter crop.
Corn and oats were firmer with
Ntehat. Exporters appeared to be
atter corn as we'll as wheat and rye.
Acute weakness in the hog market
carried lard and ribs down to the
lowest quotations yet this season.
Later, however the provision market
showed something of a rally owing
to the sertngth of grain.
