STOCK MARKET CLOSES HEAVY Mexican Petroleum Drops 1 Point in Final Hour. NEW YORK. Aug. 4.—The stork market doted heavy today. Although there were many brisk movements in the stork exchange during the day and constant variations in the market, there was little net result at the end of the day's trading. leading stocks generally showed only trifling chances In their trading position and a few issues that have been often picked out as weak spot* were again tinder pressure and became prominent because of selling at materially lower levels. United States Steel, sfter selling at 75*. declined to 75 and Baldwin yielded from 78% to 78ffl. Mexican Petroleum also was tinder firessure toward the end of the day. fating over 1 point to 107%. Total sales of stocks were 353.400 shares; bonds, 112,195,000. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Aug 4. As was anticipated this morning, selling which was In evidence at the close yesterday, continued in today's early trade and to a greater or less degree in all departments except the motors. These, ied by Studebaker, were in scant supply. Later in the day when the rest of the list turned strong the motors lagged and offerings on the hard spots were more plentiful. Stocks such as sugar, Harvester and Woolen, which have been under pronounced pressure of late, were in demand and made fair recovery. Activity in the rails is still the outstanding feature, and while realizing sales are In evidence on the rally, any resultant break of a point or two uncovers an excellent investment demand. All In all the market action is such an to encourage a consistent long position. but until a broader demand develops. profits on the strong spots should not be overlooked. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE.

GRAIN MARKET SUFFERS SLUMP Provisions Close Lower in Sympathy With Grains. CHICAGO. Aug. 4. —Grain prices went lower on the Chicago P.oard of Trade i here today when longs retrenched and j retreated from the market which has been oversold for some time Receipt of crop reports favorable to the trade was also a factor in the downward movement. Provisions were lower in sympathy with grains. September wheat opened at $1.23, up Ic. and closed off %o. December wheat opened off %c at $1.26 and closed off l%c. September corn opened off % at 58%c and closed off %c. December corn opened at .is%c, unchanged, and closed off %r. September oats opened uu< hanged at 38c and closed off %e. December oals opened unchanged at 41c and closed off %c. IBy Thomson & McKinnon.) —Aug. 4 Wheat- -There being nothing in the news developments overnight to stimulate the demand for wheat, previous holders have seen fit to realize probably because of the failure of the market to reflect the popular idea of ultimate scarcity of wheat. Cash wheat in all markets has ruled lower although not displaying independent weakness. The offerings are still taken largely by elevators and hedges placed against the purchases. Foreign demand has been interested by the decline in prices, although only 400 - 000 business has been reported. The way the market has accepted the realizing carries the idea that demand from ex porters and from foreign sources is larger than is being published. A'alues may rule around tbp present level for a time, but we are not inclined to suggest expecting any important decline from this point. Corn and Oats Moderate liquidation in sympathy with wheat has appeared In corn and oats, but markets have dls j p'ayed fairly good undertone Receipts of com are failing off and the daily receipts are in demand at good premiums Kansas reported rain during the day which will lie of benefit in rounding out the crop of corn. We expect these mar kets to gi/th-r their Impetus from tinaction of wheat. Provisions Weakness in hogs and grain was responsible for some liquida- 1 tiou of provisions. The trade has not ! been large but support has been poor. CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE. —Aug 4 YVHEAT— Open. High. Low.

STONE AGE STUFF STILL EXISTS IN SOUTH PACIFIC Tvibe on Little Island Lives in Manner of Prehistoric Days. LONDON Aug. 4. Living in the same manner a* the men of the Stone Age, a tribe exists on n little Island tu the South Pacific. Such is the -story told by Dr. Northcote Deck, a missionary, who lives at Aola and who has visited the island where these prehistoric people have their being "There are only about five hundred Inhabitants on the island.” said I>r. Deck. In a recent communication to the Royal Geographical Society, arid because of their | virtual Isolation and through lack of an ohorage for a ship, even their dialect has never been studied. “They are a Innas t cut off from the outside world by walls of coal, limestone, and I found them to he still living in what might rightly be described as a manner of t-efore tile Stone Age. "Iron !s the thing they most covet, and for it they will exchange every available object The caves of the island are swarming with flying foxes, whose teeth seem to form the only currency on the island. "1 f islanders are great fighters and wrestler*. They use thrusting spears of hard black wood, twelve feet long and fully six pounds tn weight, with fifteen to twenty barbs on each side. The making of these spears seems to boa lost art. “Throwing spears are also used, with polnfs made of human leg and arm bons. Some of them are tipped with a bone splinter, which is designed to br-ak off In a wound and infect tt. "Although most friendly, these people are great thieves. They murdered three native t--n,-tiers I left with them apparent ly for the sake of The few goods they had. "They *n to feel keenly the monotony of thetr isolation and showed a settled melancholy, both in their faces and in the cadence of their voices. Their onlysort of music, to which they dance, con sists In the tuneless beating of a log.” Dr. Beck hits presented to the British Museum a stone nut'-e used by these people.

D. C.\ Aug. 4.—“ Four cities of Upper Silesia, which are reported to have been seized by Polish Insurgents who feared that the bulk of Upper Silesia was to be turned over to Germany, are experiencing real war for the first time since they became cities," says a bulletin issued by the National Geographic Society. "The cities are Taruowltz, Iteuthen, Konigshutte and Kattowltz. Though they are situated practically at the meeting point of pre-war Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary—a rather precarious position on the outbreak of the world war -so valuable Is the mining ami industrial district which surrounds them that. Germany took care to keep them outside the zbne of hostilities. "The four cities He within a few miles of each other and in the heart of the coal fields for which the country is famous. None Is more than five miles from the old Russian border, now the boundary of Poland, and all are almost equally close to the old Austrian line, now that of Czeeh-Slovakia. “Os these cities, Beuthen alone is of appreciable age. The others are the direct result of the development of coal mines and metallurgical industries in the vicinity after the middle of the nineteenth century; and Beuthen itself received a great impetus from mining and industrial development. It is the capital of a district, and has a population of About 68,000. When Silesia was a part of tne old kingdom of Bohemia, Beuthen was capital of the duchy of Beuthen. Tlie title. Duke of Beuthen, Is one of she ranks among the German nobility. "Konigsehutte, with nearly 75,000 inhabitants, is the metropolis of the Upper Silesian mining district and may be considered tile Silesian Pittsburgh. It lies only three irides south of Beuthen. Tn Konigsehutte is situated the largest Iron works in Silesia. Half the population is said to consist of Poles. “Kattowltz, three miles south of Konigshutte, is supreme as a coal market. It is, perhaps, the strongest Polish center among the Upper Silesian cities. Zinc, as well as coal, is mined in the neighborhood. The place w-as only a village in 1815. Its population is now about 45.000. "Tarnowitz, a few utiles north of Beuthen, is the smallest of the group. Its inhabitants number close to 15,000. In addition to iron works it has other metallurgical factories and limekilns. It Is also a Polish center and Its vote in the plebiscite is reported to have been markedly adverse to Germany. "When the World War broke out the Russians were able to push through the German Russian frontier, in its northern portion, but the line which ran a few miles west of the Silesian coal cities held firmly. Only/ twice was is rick and Important district In danger of passing from German hands; when the Russian offensive against Austria advanced to Cracow, leaa than fifty mile* i

to the east, and when the Cossacks made s raid into Posen, a short distance ro the north, threatening to cut off the Upper Silesian ‘wedge.' On both occasions the Germans, realizing that one of thetr most important centers of munitions manufacture was endangered, drove the attackers back." FEAR INDUCED HUNS TO AGREE Germany Not Sincere With Allies, Says Harden. PARIS, Aug. 4. Interviewed by a correspondent of Excelsior on economic and political relations betwen France and Germany. Maximilian Harden, editor of Ztikunft, took yet another opportunity offered him to bitterly attack autocratic Germany and to Justify France's claims for reparations. “France asks for but part of what we made her lose.” were Harden's first words. He then stated that Germany still be lieves that she was not the author of the war, that she was never beaten and that terrible conditions have been imposed upon her, although she faithfully believed in former President Wilson's “Fourteen Points." "That which past German governments have lacked," continued Harden, “is frankness. If today Germane shows willingness to repair, it is simply on account of France's threats and strength. No government heretofore has shown any sincerity in its attempts to repair. Germany signed the tretay of Versailles, and she must make good her signature. Our people think the* Frew--' t- - throes of militarism, but I am surprised to see how distant troui u.iuu.i . . really is. As the result of your victory we expected to see the appearance of anew Caesar. Instead of that 1 notice that you make less show of your victorious generals than we do of our beaten military lenders." Harden believes Chancellor Wirth is sinceri* and suggests that much more may be had from him if ODly the allies. and particularly France, were to encourage him a little more. “Don't continually threaten him or bully him.” is his advice. “When he has fulfilled certain of his engagements pat him on the back and tell him, 'Well done.' We are satisfied.’ ” Referring to economic relations. Harden considers that where sentiment has failed economic relations might very well succeed. "In my opinion," remarks Harden., “economic relations alone can prevent any new conflagration. Let us bind up our economic interests. France and Germany cannot go on for ever stabbing each other in the back." Asked what Germany would have done had she won the war, Harden replied: “She would not have done anything very fine, but that sort of thing must cease. Wo must become men of the future and not remain copies of {he past.” ( On Commission Row TODAY'S PRICES. Apples—New, in 40-lb. baskets, *2.50® 4.50.

NAVY UNABLE TO CAPTURE SUB IN SUMMER OF 1918 U-Boat, Found at Sea Off Virginia, Escapes From U. S. Patrol. FOOLS SCHOONER CREW WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—Hidden away in the archives of the great gray Navy building here are hundreds of romance* and adventures of the seas which may never come to light. In steel bound files are the records of successes and of failures during the World War which swelled the heart of seafaring men with pride and caused them to tear their hair in anguish. Perhaps the most romantic records con cern the activities of the United States Navy against the German U-boats, records which have never been opened to the public. YY’ith the recent sinking of the U-117 off Cape Charles by aerial bombers that has come to light the story of a great disappointment to the American Navy. The U-117 left Kiel on June 12. 1918, under command of a German, who is be-lh-ved to have served as a gunner's mate in the United States Navy at one time. Apparently well versed on conditions in American waters, this U-boat captain turned her toward the shores of the United States. From a date late in June until early in September the U-117 was a menace to American and foreign shipping off the coasts of the North Atlantic. Mines were sown by the U-117 from Maine to Hatteras, and five steam vessels and eight schooners fell prey to the underseas destroyer. The Navy Department adopted drastic measures. Thirty-five patrol boats were sent to capture the U-boat, but without suez-ess: she continued her raids, particularly upon schooners. At this time the British Navy wn* having some success with Q boats, or my tery ships, innocent looking vesoels, which were quickly turned into armed fighting craft when attacked by be Üboafs. American naval officers desired to outfit some of these mystery ships, but it is understood that Woodrow YVilson Intervened. holding that such vessels were a violation of international law. This was the first hitter disappointment to those charged with making adz-sense against the submarines. The U-117 was continually reported to the Navy Department as still active tn American waters, sinking schooners and sowing mines. The Navy was nonrdussed. QUIET SEARCH or THE SEAS. Quietly and without ostentation five commanders were relieved of their naval duty. They came into possession of five sailing schooners and went to sea. The naval officers were out of the Navy and apparent owners of sailing vessels, hut they retained the commercial “skippers" of their schooners. It was a strange coincidence that when ■ these five small schooners put to sea an 1 American submarine deemed it wise to I follow in the wake of each schooner. In fact, the schooners and the submarines i became quite chummy, so much so that a ' telephone line was strung from the schooner to each submarine, which remained below the surface all day long, it is very probable that if the U-boat had been sighted there might have been some telephoning to the submarine astern. At night time the submarine commanders brought their craft to the surface and their good friends on board the schooners loaded them dow'n with gifts of food supplies and fuel. One pair of these strange r*trine “pals" was dragging along in a calm off the Y irglnla Gapes tn midsummer, 1918. The submarine had been on the surface till nearly daybreak, and the former naval officer in the schooner had been up all night tending to the wants of his friends in the submarine. 80 at daybreak he turned in for a short sleep, and the submarine opened her submerging valves | and went below.

FIND U-BOAT ON SURFACE. Shortly after 8 o'clock In the morning the lookout on the schooner reported a bark apparently at anchor off the stern. Later it was reported that a small vessel was alongside the bark. The lookout continued to make reports on the activities of the two vessels. The American submarine stayed below, the naval commander on the schooner exulted jin well-earned sleep, and the Scandinavian skipper of the schooner went 1 about his usual duties. ! just before noon the submarine commander telephoned to the schooner asking if all was clear for him to bring his vessel to the surface to give the crew a bit of fresh air. The skipper of the schooner telephoned back for the submarine to come up. The submarine was hardly on the surface before there was a distant boom; the bark astern was seen to turn her tail upward and sink, and toward the schooner there came scurrying through the ocean what was unmistakably a subj marine. She had not sighted the Amerlj can submarine. i The American submarine commander i was back to his vessel in a twinkling. 1 Hatches were suddenly closed, orders were given to prepare for action, and the ! boat made a quick dive below the surface, 1 hut not quick enough; for almost i simultaneously the approaching U-boat sighted the submarine and made another ‘ quick dive. Constant search for many hours failed to turn up the missing tboat. Disappointment on that day was sufficient. but it was even greater when some time later It was learned that the U-boat had been alongside the bark for j more than four hours, with her hatches ! wide open, loading copper bars from the j bark before sending her to the bottom I with a bomb. While this perfect target j was open the American submarine had ! loafed below the surface; the American naval commander on the schooner had slept peacefully, and the skipper of. the schooner had gone blissfully on with his duties. There was a warm time in the Navy Department. The skipper of the schooner was sharply called to account for his failure to report the bark and the vessel alongside. He maintained that he had believed it to be a small tug towing the bark. After the armistice, when the Navy Department secured the U-117 together with Us log, It was learned that the U-boat, commander recorded this as hit most narrow escape In American waters. It is small wonder that there was grim satisfaction on the faces of watening naval officers a few weeks ago, when I the U-117 turned her tall to the clouds and took her last dive, an Ignominious end, sunk by aerial bombers while anchored as a helpless target. And so another chapter of the disappointments of the sea was closed.
