your help means to my people and the
other people of war-worn Europe.
You have never faced conditions such
as the face now. Ever since the sign
ing of the armistice, | have command
ed ships carrying relief supplies to
the other side Of the water, mostly to
one glimpse into life as it is over
there now that causes a lump to rise
in ones throat

they have had to clothe themselves
in odd pieces of salvaged burlap. Food
they have none, save for the donations
fortunate, doled out sparingly so that

The corn for referred to is man.

Arlington and Center townships con
tributed. the other shipped from Rich

CHICAGO, May 13.-Cvernight the
markets will likely await reports of
lnglis. Lecount and Cromwell in the
southwest. The grains have dropped
into break buying rut on appearance
OF some dry areas in Oklahoma, Tex
as, Kansas and Nebraska. To date
the total wheat loss does not look very
serious. Export news very dull On
May l. United States probably held
20 to Is million wheat for export and
most or all is probably sold ahead.
The crop anxiety has reinforced the
very small IL million wheat visible.
and allowed cash in May wheat to
harden. July wheat at $1.1S is about
4 cents above its early week average.
Corn and oats are cheap.
