SMALL TRADE IS MARKET FEATURE AT DAY'S OPENING

CHICAGO, Feb. C Nervousness and relatively small trade were the most noticeable features today in the wbeat pit. The violence of recent fluctuations appeared to have made hoefness too hazardous except for large dealers who had ample financial resources. Moderate gains due to a temporary accumulation - of buying orders were seen overcome owing in part at least to rumors that Austria hady taken the same position as Germany regarding unrestricted sea war. Opening prices which ranged from to 3U up with May . at $1.67 to .694 and July at $1.49 to 51-50 were followed by rapid, changes but an increasing bearish tendency till the market had dropped to below Saturday's finish all around. Selling pressure was less evident la corn than in wheat Speculative buyers were able to lift prices without much exertion. After opening to higher the market scored material further upturns. Oats sympathized with the action of corn. The purchasing of oats, however appeared to lack vigor. Sharp advances in provisions resulted from the scantiness of the bog supply here and at other western centers. Hog quotations were at the highest level of the season.

are now they are compelled to f:.t for aritocracy which it is the genius cf the common people to hate. In the present situation, their vary life and their right to exist are tied up in the same bundle with the arrogance of the Kaiser and his milUary

men. Can we see this and fail to raise our voice in protest, we to whom liberty and democracy are as the breath of life, and without which we would feel ourselves most miserable : indeed? i The United States stands for the ! welfare of mankind, and opposed to I

the oppression of any nation by the rulers thereof. It is our destiny to bring to the nations of the world a greater liberty, and to oppose autocracy by democracy. Such an opportunity has come to the United Staes in this crisis. We have come into the family of nations with a destiny, and an important epoch in the fulfilling of this destiny has arrived. As a nation we have always stood for the rights of humanity everywhere, whether in Poland, Cuba, Mexico, or the Philippines and we still stand for the rights of our own people and also those of the other nations of the world, Germany included. The rights of the common people is an idea that seems to have diminished to the smallest point possible in the present day affairs of the rulers of the German Empire, but this idea is large in the life of the United States and can be made to play an effective part in the present European situation. It will then remain to be seen whether the German people will prefer the Kaiser to democracy or militarism to a league of nations. We would recognize the existence of a Christ idea, which is to save. the German people from its real oppressor. x MRS. M. B. M.
