that we were already trapped like
rats. the italians on one side, the
Germans on the other.
Some one rushed into the street
crying he had heard Marshal Pc

that the French had asked for ar

rushed off to the Nice newspaper
Offices to read the latest bulletins.

And then they posted a brief
bulletin announcing that Petain
had asked for an armistice.
Men and women began sobbing,
tears running down their cheeks.
The light went out Of a nations

from side to side in dumb agony.
A voice here and there screamed

off like wounded animals, too

Corn Belt Harvests
lis Smallest Crop
In -Four Years
Government Looms Boost
Its Value to Peak
Since 1887
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 8.-Bangboards
were rafting again in the corn belt
today as farmers harvested the 1910
crop, smallest in four years but
worth more on a Government loan
supported market than any crop
since 1887.
Although picking and husking will
not reach climax for several days,
mechanical equipment and brawny
men already were at work piling new
corn on a record-breaking carry
over accumulated during the past
four seasons Cribs, silos, bins and
steel tanks throughout the belt now
hold corn grown in 1887, 1888, 1889
and 1910.
The new crop, which has been
maturing rapidly in recent weeks,
does not compare in size or quality
with its recent predecessors, grain
men said. As result, the total do
mestic supply. including carryover
of around 100000, 900 bushels, is ex-
pected to be about 100000, 900
smaller than last year
However, the prospective harvest
of about 100000 bushels, at
prices 7 to cents higher in the
futures market than a year ago,
would have market value of
around 81 $50 900 900. compared with
a valuation at this time last year of
81 300, 1000 for the 2,6l9000. .000-
bushel 1889 crop. While this valua-
ton is only theoretical, since more
than three-fourthS Of the crop is
marketed as livestock, traders
pointed out that current livestock
prices indicate that producers can
convert corn into meat on as favor
able basis as existed a year ago.
For best grades of old cash corn
Chicago dealers were paying from
around IS cents to almost IS cents,
or 13 to IA cents more than a year
ago, rejecting in part an artificial
commercial supply scarcity due to
the loan program. The original loan
rate at the farm was 81 cents.
A large portion of the new crop
will go into farm storage facilities
which have been cleared by ship
ment of Government -oWned and
loan corn to terminals and points
where steel storage tanks are To-
Gated How much of this corn
eventually will be put up as COL
lateral for loans will depend on mar
ket prices and the loan rate. More
than half of the carryover of old
corn is under seal or Government
control.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-The Wall

production in the United States on

If production the rest Of the year

Nevertheless, factory employ
