WHEAT, RYE SOAR
TO RECORD PRICES

ChicagO.-PhenOmen advances in
the prices of wheat and rye were reg
istered on Thursday at the Chicago
Board of Trade.
In one of the widest sessions the
market has seen in years the price of
wheat for delivery next May scared
4ss cents above the closing figure on
Wednesday. The final price in Chi
cagO was $1.51H, an advance of 10
cents bushel since last week Thurs
days price is among the highest ever
recorded at this season in peace times.
The advance in rye was no less star
Ting. Several months ago May rye
was selling at less than so cents a
bushel. Thursday the market had
scared to $1,35, an advance of 25h
cents since last Saturday. Rye is the
chief bread grain of all the eastern
European countries.
These advances will add millions to
the wealth Of American farmers. The
jumps in price are attributed to i'm
mense buying by European countries.
Wet weather at harvest time lessened
the yield of European farms, which
had already suffered severely from a
wet and cold summer.
While the advance in the Chicago
market was almost unprecedented, it
actually is small compared with the
marking up that has been going on
outside the United States. May wheat
closed in Winnipeg Thursday at
$1.531A, 90 cents bushel above the
low price of Saturday October wheat
at Liverpool has jumped II cents a
bUshel in the same time and closed at
$1.70.

Many Hurt When French
Speaker Visits Pofsdan1

element when 1000 Fascists and an
equal number of Socialists gathered
in the streets surrounding { trades

Basch, leading French pacifist. made
a plea for Franco-German reconcile
alton. Herr Loeb, former president of
the reichstag, also was one of the
speakers The Fascists, melted by the
Nationalist press, came with the de-
termination to break up the meeting,
on the plea that the French orators
presence within the sacred city of
Frederick the Great was blot on
the city's honor" while the Socialists
were equally determined that Basch
should speak. Scores were injured in
the clash.

accomplishments of the American Red

The practical idealism" of the Red

churia, commanded by General Chang
Tsun Chang drove the last of the
Chilli invaders from Fentien. The
battle was carried on fifteen miles
southwest of Ling Yuan for several

invading Chilli troops were concerned.

wing was captured and the rest of
the army fell back. The Picking
troops left a number of big field guns,
machine guns and thousands of small
arms in the hands of the Manchurian
fighters. 1t was reported that more

NATIONAL RADIO
RELAY PROPOSED
Hoover Urges Interconnec-
ton of Stations 20 Broad
cast Important Events.

Washington. Secretary Hoover
urged interconnection of radiocasting
stations as a daily routine in his the
third national radio conference under
the auspices of the Department of
Commerce. He declared that local
stations in every section of the coun-
try should be able to handle every
important event of national signifi-
canoe as a regular proposition.
He touched on number of prob
lens which are expected to be brought
up at the conference, including the
question of wave lengths, power of
broadcasting stations, and the general
development of broadcasting and ma
rine service.
''We require a still further advance
in the character of material beyond
the capacity of local station direc-
tors, if the art is to emerge entirely
from the curio and entertainment
stage to that of fundamental service"
said Secretary Hoover.
Depend on Local Stations.
Experimental broadcasting upon a
national scale during the last year
has now brought us to the stage where
we know it can be done. The local
material available for the local pro-
gram is not, in my view, enough to
maintain assured interest, and there
fore the industry, or to adequately
fulfill the broadcasting mission. So
far as they are developed, think we
all agree that for accuracy and regu-
larity of reception we can depend only
on the local broadcasting stations.
my proposition is that the local
stations must be able to deliver every
important national event with regu-
larity. The local station must be able
to bring to its listeners the greatest
music and entertainment Of the ma
tion, but far beyond this, it must be
able to deliver important pronounce
ments of public men, it must bring
instantly to our people hundred and
one matters of national interest.
ITO this it must add it's matters of
local interest. This can only be ac-
complished by regularly organized in
terconnection on a national basis with
nationally organized and directed pro-
grams for some part of the day in sup
plement to more local material"

REBELS IN CHINA
MENACE SHANGHAI
Chekiang Army VIII Be
Forced to Quit Hwangtu-
Liuho Front.

hanghai-Kiangsu troops are re-
ported to have captured Sungkiang,
% miles southwest of this city and
the Chekiang forces are said to be
retreating on Singohwan, nine miles
from Shanghai Indications are that
the Chekiang army win be forced to
abandon the Hwangtu-Liuho front en-
tirely.
The Kiangsu forces travelled down
the WhangpoO river, pushed through
the Chekiang defenses and surround
ed Sungkiang, normally city of about
10000 population.
Cheklang forces are directing a
heavy artillery attack on the Kiangsu
invaders in an effort to check them
and keep them from cutting the rail
way to Shanghai
The capture of Sungkiang by the
Kiangsu armies leaves them almost a
clear road to Shanghai itself
Nearest Gate to Shanghai.
The point at which the attack upon
Sungkiang was centered is the most
easterly of the gates to the walled
city and is the nearest gate to Shang-
hal In other words, if the railway
line has been cut by the Kiangsu
troops surrounding Sungkiang, the
Chekiang troops sent there to defend
the city will be cut off from Shanghai,
as the defenders were fighting out
side the walls on the southwest side.
1t is believed that a march into
Shanghai itself will encounter but
little opposition, as there are but few
narrow waterways along the route
and the defenders of Shanghai would
be unable to materially check an adj
vance.
1t was declared in a dispatch from
Tientsin that the Manchurian forces
of General Chang had opened a gen.
eral attack upon Shanhaikwan, after
all foreign residents of the border city
had been removed.
Rush Troops to Save Picking.
