Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, Sept. IA Wheat
prices advanced 21a to 3 cents a
bushel today as fresh buying wave
swept over the grain pits, but about
half of this upturn was lost later
due to heavy profit-taking.
The gains lifted prices to within
less than a cent of the war-boom
highs reached last week.
Commercial and speculative buy
ing accelerated the early rise while
dealers who hastened to accept
profits did so in view of discouraging
export business since the start of
the war and reports of increasing
sales of stored wheat.
Wheat closed 11s-1s4 cents high

 BREAK WIDE THRUST
Six Divisions Thrown Into Battle by Hifler's

 One attack carried 100 yards into French territory, military dispatch eS said.
 Allied army authorities estimated the strength of each German at tacking division was at least 10000 men, putting the total number of attackers at around 60,000 or more men
 French confidence that the situa- tion is well in hand was reflected in a War Ministry announcement that soldiers of the class of 1909 have been released from the army, starting Friday, and the class of 1910 will be released immediately thereafter.

ELECTIONS IN MEXICO AND UNITED STATES MAY CHANGE
 POLICY IN DISPUTE ON OIL

two sharp changes in Mexican pol icy under the new constitution. Shortly after it's adoption in 1917 there was a disposition to advance forcefully toward it's objectiyes, to make big estates into little ones for division among the peons, and to take for the government a greater share of the revenue from natural resources. (AGexicos newest and big gest oil field, for instance, had to pay Is to 35 percent government royaltyJ
 But in time the leaders of the Revolutionary party themselves be- gan to acquire property and to turn conservative. There were other req sons for the change as well. Even President Gales in 1929 began to express some doubts of the utility of the agrarian reforms
 Then came Cardenas. He swung the other way. Big estates, owned by Mexicans as well as Ameri- cans, were broken up.
 The oil trouble has made some headway toward a settlement, but the outlook for change of policy in the U. S., or Mexico, or both, has encouraged oil men to peek two times at this hole card. Their troubles began several years ago. So another IS months may not be fatal. They would go a long way to escape the full force of the pres ent Mexican policy.
 The Mexican constitution and ac- companying laws promise the work man an eight-hour day. decreased

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct. Hone of the barriers to agreement ln the Mexican oil dispute lies in the hope of some of the operators that next years elections in Mexico and the U. s. will bring changes of policy.
 In Mexico, conservative voices are asserting that socialization Of the country under President Cardenas has proceeded too far for the pres ent. Now is time for consolidation of gains. The same thing has been said for several years of the New Deal.
 In the United States the sug- gestion is advanced that a change of administration in 194l may bring change in our attitude toward Mexico. Some hardening might be expected A shift in the U. S. attitude would be equal ly as important as a change n the Mexican attitude. Long experi- ence demonstrates that no adminis- tration in Mexico can survive with out U. s. approval Huerta tried It for time before the World War, but finally folded
 If the U. s. should withdraw from the present type of Mexican government under protest that it is irresponsible, in time that government likely would fall and one would rise with a dis position to be more friendly" toward American interests.
