Recently Suppressed Song
Brings Out Their Weari-
ness Of "Ruhrgebiet" and
All That Goes With 1t.
By GEORGE WHITE.

Special Correspondent of The San Antonio
Light and the Chicago Daily News.
Berlin, Germany, April IA free
translation of the opening verse of
song that was brought out in Berlin
carbaret recently and promptly started
riot would be about like this:
~Oh wouldn't it be lovely,
oh, would it be sweet,
If we never heard again
a About the Ruhrgebiet."
IAN attempt to weaken the home
'front.'" is what the newspapers called
1t, and the German nationalist press,
which see Poincaire's hand in every
thing, said the song was written as
part Of the French poison propaganda.
The police suppressed the song and
confiscated the music.
But there is some truth in the song
Just the same. The "Ruhrgebeit"
(Ruhr district) has been talked and
written and sung about so much that it
is beginning to get on the peoples
nerves. At every street corner, in
every shop window, on every billboard,
posters in screaming colors meet the
eye, reminding the public that it must
do its bit toward steadying the home
front, must give generously toward the
Ruhr relief fund, must not buy French
or Belgian goods and must live frug-
ally. In the theaters "one-minute men"
m1kS,addresses on what is going on
IN the "Ruhrgebiet in the churches
ministers preach about the "Ruhrge-
biet"; in the schools the teachers re.
mind the pupils of the invasion Of
the "Ruhrgebiet." 1t is "Ruhrgebiet :"
everywhere and all the time. just as
IN 1914 it was "Gott strafe England

Neither Side Is Winning.
There is small wonder that the PEG.
pie, at least those who are not patrio.

Of this eternal TRADE. Still with the
exception of the amusing little ditty
quoted above, nobody has had the
courage to open his mouth in protest.
But there is an unmistakable expires.

Of many ordinarily quite devoted Ger
mans when they are asked about the

shoulders and at the first chance they
either change the subject or walk

\ the struggle so far, but to the casual
observer it looks as If neither side
could put a plus at the bottom Of its
balance sheet for the first ten or eleven
weeks Of the occupation. A minus
would be more approximate. The

UNION ST0CKYARDS, Chicago Monday,
June 4.-Supplies of live stock fell short of
the expected numbers today, but trading
was slow and lower in the hog pens. Only
little more than 5000 hogs were held over
from last week, while big killers and less
than 5000 hogs we're held over from last
week. OF the reported 1894 cars of live
stock for the local yards about sixty had
not arrived at the opening of the trade. OF
the estimated sheep run, nearly 5000 were
forwarded to big killers from other trading
points, while fifteen cars were California
springers. Warm weather made cattle take
much water, and this delayed the trade.
Receipts were 81 900 cattle, 10000 hogs,
II, 900 sheep and 1000 calves.
Best steers were steady to strong, while
other grades were fully steady compared
with the close of last week. Bulk of be #
amount of stock above $1,000. Prime steers
were taken at $11.00, with some held higher
Choice cows sold steady. but other grades
We're weak. Gamers and bulls also showed
weakness, while cslves were as much as SOC
lower in many spots Choice vealers went
over at $S.5OM9.00.
Demand for all kinds of hogs was slow
from the start, with values continuing 15M
PC lower throughout the day. Choice light
hogs and also the best light butchers sold at
N.1O07.25, with good heavy butchers below
$500. Packing stock sold slowly at the
full decline. some good heavy lots going at
S6.25m6.35 with rough animals at 1913
and below.
Choice California spring lambs sold up to

tier twelve years residence there

After twelve years residence there
he went back to Babylon. Later he
secured another leave of absence and
returned to Jerusalem. He was dis
tressed to find what had happened
during his absence. The temple was
neglected, the tithes were not PAID,
the Levites were not paid their l%e-
scribed portion, the Sabbath was C<s-
ecrated, and the son of the priest
had married the daughter of SAM
ballat (only one of many 1ntermar.
riages he found and was even living.
in the temple itself.
Nehemia Immediately instituted
reforms. He cleansed the temple.
restored the payment of the Levites
and the tithes, prohibited intermar-
riages with heather peoples, ana
chased the son-in-law of Sanballat
out of the temple. This is the last
recorded act in the Old Testament.
A glance back at Nehemiahs
character and achievements will
give us the qualities which made
him the great leader that he was.
We, too, may follow in his leader
ship and do exploits by so follow
ing.
He was first of all a man of pray
er. Read the book again, and sea
how often and under what circum.
stances he prayed to the God or
heaven. He was a yielded mamie
was willing to do the will of God no
matter what it cost him. He was
careful-didnt go off half cooked.
He faced his task before he began
! it. He enlisted the enthusiastic supp
| port of his followers. He distribute
ed work and responsibility. He gave
every one his task and held him ac-
countable for it. He was discourage
ed by nothing, was turned aside by
| nothing. He did more than he asked
anybody else to do. He kept his eye
constantly on God.
Any man can do exploits who Will
follow Nehemiah's trail.
Yet Nehemiah pales into insignif-
icance in comparison with Jesus the
Christ. who came not to be minis
tered unto, but to minister and to
give His life a ransom for many.
For you!

big when they looked at all that had
yet to be done; it didn't seem as
though they had touched the pile of
rubbish, it was so big. They made
all kinds Of foolish objections-isn't
it remarkable how many silly ex-
cuses and objections. a person can
raise who doesn't want to do a
thing asked? Nehemiah was not dis
mayed; he pointed them to God as
the answer to ain their objections;
put half of them to work and the
other half to watch turn about;
put the rulers behind them. Every
man was doubly armed, with a tool
in one hand and al weapon in the
other. He put the trumpeter by
him, and notified the people that
wherever the trumpet sounded they
were to concentrate; they worked
from sunrise to Starrise, and then
{ II gathered in the city for protec-
ton at night. Nehemiah and his
lieutenants did not take off their
clothes except to battle until the
task was finished.
Some took the opportunity for graft
until the money lenders had a
mortgage on property and people.
Then the oppressed cried out. Nehe-
miah was red-hot; he told them what
he thought showed them by is own
unselfishness and the fear of God, and
brought them to the point of making
restitution. He gladly spent and was
spent in the service of God. Unlike
other governors he would take moth
ing from the people, nor any salary
from the king; but rather in addi-
ton, out of his own funds, fed $50
daily regularly Seeing that they could
not stop him in any other way, San
ballat and Tobiah adopted a trick
They proposed that he come down to
the plain of one to talk the matter
over with them. He replied he was
too busy working to talk. -Four
times this was tried. The fifth was
in the form of letter threatening a
| charge of rebellion-but Nehemiah
knew there was no danger in as
false charge, and refused. Again
! they tried to stop him by having
the prophet Shemaiah propose that
he meet him in the house Of God ant
shut themselves up there for protec
! ton, Nehemiah refused to attemp
to save his life in any such way, ant
then found it was only a trick o
Sanballat's and Tobiah's to kill him
The prophecies Noadiah, and othe
prophets were hired by them t.
brighten him in some way, but Ne
hemiah was not dismayed, he hat
found the ear of the God of heaven
Those were strenuous days; bu
j Nehemiah weathered all storms b!
prayer.
Revival and Reforms
He put the city under a stabl
government with his brother Hanan
j in charge. He had the law of CO.
read by Ezra from pulpit of Woo
and a great revival followed. IN
feast of tabernacles was kept ant
the ancient sacrifices restored.

CHICAGO June 4.-Wheat market TODAY
was exceedingly nervous. Trade was most
ly local and sentiment was friendly to the
bull side, hut it seemed difficult to hold
the advances. Commission house buying
offset the decline in Liverpool ct the start
but pressure developed after locals had
been committed to the long side, and this
ed to the bear side, but the market ran
into supporting orders and a covering move
ment started. Thereafter number of ra /
lies and reactions were recorded. Nat c.
Murray estimated the Canadian wheat crop
at 800, 900 goo bushels or 10000 900 bushels
smaller than last year. Cash wheat was in
hfeless. Worlds shipments were heavy, in
Guiding over 100000 bushels from North
America. Supplies on ocean passage IN
a decrease of 1,210000 bushels in the visible
supply.
Wheat closed at the low point of the

sustained; July, S1.0S2s 11.0S9s; September,
$1.0S3s @1.0S1a; December, 81 JOS u1.10h.
Action of the corn market was little
chOppy early, but the market developed
firlner tone in the later trading. The fea-
ture of the market was the lack of selling
miums unchanged to half cent higher. Ship
ping demand was moderate and export trade
was dull. Receipts were light, but a slight
increase in conSignments is noted. Crop
reports noted uneven condition over the
entire belt. Visible supply decreased $780,

opposition to the possible candidacy

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
COTTON

NEW YORK, June 4.-The cotton
market was weak and Irregular at
the opening OF today. There was
buying of near months on relatively
firm cablec, letter reports from Man
chester and larger Liverpool spot
sales first prices being thirteen 10
twenty five points higher on July
and September. New crop months
were sold freely, however, owing to
good weather reports from the south
and opened at declines of eighteen
tn twentv-seVen Doints. There was
heavy selling right after the call
of a more or less general character,
aS the prospect for improving crop
conditions evidently offset the bet
ter tone abroad, with July easing off
to 1855 or six points net lower,
while new crop months showed net
losses OF twenty to thirty points,
with October selling at 22.9f our
ing the early tracing. The rams
renorted in the southwest were con-
sidared beneficial while the weather
was clear and warmer in the east
arm belt. Liverpool reported spot
sales Of 14,GC0 bales. including I'ooo
American, or the largest days pusl-
ness in soma weeks.
The decline extended to $3.50 tor
Julv and 22.70 for October during
the middle of the morning, making
net declines of 26 to SIS points. July
was relatively firm owing TO the
continued steadiness of Liverpool
and buying here by brokers WIN
LIVERPOOL connections but there was
considerable southern selling ana
new crop months seemed to be com
pletelv under the influence OF the
better weather and crop news. Sell
inc tapered off the decline, however,
and the market was quieter around
midday with prices showing ra!nes
of some 10 to 20 points on covering.
The market steadied during the
afternoon on private reports OF
rains in Georgia, and covering. july
sold I'D to 26.15 or "a points net
higher, and October to 1880 or
points above Saturdays closing quo
tation. Prices were few points on
from the best around o'clock Win
