MATERIAL DECLINES 111 WHEAT MARKET CHICAGO. June 25. Material de cline took place In the wheat market today owing more or less to prospects that the food bill including prohibition cr the use of foodstuffs for the manufacturer ot alcoholic beverages would pass the senate. Good rains in the dry section of North Dakota tended further to weaken prices, and so too did liberal world shipments. The opening, which varied from 3 to 5 cents lower, with July at $2.09 and Sept. at $1.83 to $1.84, was followed by a moderate additional sag. , . Breaking of the drought in southern Oklahoma gave a setback to corn after an early advance. At first, the market hardened owing to the fact that offerings were light. Opening prices ranged from Mc off to a like advance, and there was a slight subsequent general upturn, but then a sharp decent all around to well below Saturday's finish. GRAIN QUOTATIONS .

The submarine was 5 miles distant, running away after having attacked the Britisher, nearly 400 miles off the coast of Ireland. According to the story told by the gunner of the British steamer, the submarine was first seen when she sent a shell at the steamer from a dis tance of about 3,000 yards. It fell bhort and the steamer was turned immediately so that he stern was 'toHard the U-boat, getting the naval gun a work. Eleven shots were fired in rapid succession and each struck very close to the German. "I know I had the range after the second shot, and so did the Germans." said the British gunner. "The Germans were using their two guns for and aft while we had only one, but the shells were falling short, and he started to run. I followed him with a shell, and the twelfth, the one that sent him down, struck abaft the periscope. He was more than 9.0C0 jards away." . . "We could all see the boat break In half and go down, disappearing within a few minutes." ,

Chairman Harper, of Jackson township, telephoned in this morning that Jackson had raised $2,655. The township's apportionment was $2,651, and a thousand dollars of the total has been raised since Friday. ' Center to Meet Quota Center township workers, who made the greater part of their campaign today, reported through Chairman Commons at noon that the township was sure to raise its money. Center's fund was placed at $1,467, and no report had been made by the township up to today. Late bulletins from Abington this afternoon said the campaigners there had discovered a rich pocket of the township that had not been touched by the Red Cross army, and they assembled in automobiles to make a last drive there. With this addition. Chairman Hale was confident Abington would raise her money, and hoped she would go over it.' Dalton township people put In double time during the day, and indications were that at least 75 per cent, of the township's fund would be raised by night. The Dalton folks were hopeful of approaching their apportionment even nearer than that, but were not sure. Jefferson Report Discouraging The most discouraging report of the morning came from Jefferson township. Jefferson workers are putting in their best licks, but weren't conndent of the ability of the township to raise their share. Today has been christened by the National Red Cross leaders as Pershing Day, in honor of the American army leader in France. A cablegram has been sent to General Pershing informing him of the honor given him, and messages were 6ent to Red Cross headquarters all over the country, urging them to make the last day a banner one, in honor of "Black Jack." The national leaders urge the nation to over-subscribe the war fund, so that the enemy may know that the whole country is behind Pershing and his men. Statistics were made this afternoon by the Richmond office to be sent to national Red Cross headquarters in Washington. The name of everyone approached is to be sent to national headquarters, whether a contribution was made or not. Those who helped out with the fund are to be placed on the honor roll; other names are to be kept on the society Hies. One $1,000 Donation. Gifts from two cents up to $1,000 were made to the fund here. Only one one thousand donation was made. There were several of $500, more of $250 and a score or more of $100. The committee is satisfied that everyone who gave, gave as much as they could in proportion to their income, however. Hundred of stories were told by workers during the campaign of the generosity and unselfishness of the townsfolk. " The Richmond money is to be placed on deposit In local banks to the credit of Secretary McAdoo, and soon will be on Its way to the front.

When Finly Gray in Congress a year ago was opposing the five-year building plan for the Navy, he was . called an enemy of preparedness. The five-year plan proposed to lay out so many ships of the first class, so many cruisers, so many dreadnaughts, etc., the entire building plan for five years being planned in advance. Mr. Gray opposed this because he said no man could tell what kind of a vessel would be needed five years hence and it would be folly to contract for so long a time. This did not suit the steel interest and the easterners who made so much noise about preparedness and then failed to furnish soldiers when war came. . Mr. Gray offered to vote for any amount of money the Navy Department .wanted for one year, no matter whether it was 100 or 500 millions, and let the next Congress vote money for the next year, according to. the needs. The short space of one year has vindicated that Mr. Gray was right.' Our whole building plan has een changed. We are not building dreadnoughts and cruisers to fight the German submarines, but we are needing destroyers and transports and submarines of our own. The five-year plan does not fit the present case. All that it fitted was a lot of shipbuilders who wanted contracts. .And because Gray opposed what has since been shown a foolish plan he was dubbed a "little navy man." Time has shown that Gray had a long head in this matter. President Wilson Says Gray Was Right Read Both Letters

Woodrow Wilson, Washington, D. C. June

Dear Sir: Reports are being circulated in this District, that the Democratic Candidate for Congress, Finly H. Gray, did not give proper support during the past two years, to your recommendations for preparedness and other war measures. Will you kindly give me the facts in this matter? Very truly yours, BENT WILSON. Cambridge City, Indiana.

Speaker Clark Says Gray Was Rigtitt THE SPEAKER'S ROOMS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Washington, D. C. , ' June 15, 1917 Honorable Bent Wilson, Cambridge City, Indiana. , - My dear Mr. Wilson: I have heard that my good friend, Finly H. Gray, has been nominated for Congress to fill the vacancy caused by. the death of Judge Comstock. . I feel very much interested in his success not only because the House is very close, but also because Mr. Gray was one of the most faithful Members of Congress that I have ever known. He was punctual in his attendance both in the sittings of the House and on the committees, of which he was a member. He was as faithful to Democratic principles as the needle to the pole. He has served in the House long enough to be counted among the veterans and experience counts in Congress as well as in any other line of human endeavor. If it were not for the fact that I can appoint a pro tempore for only one day, I would be glad to go to his District and render any aid possible. That being the case, I can only send my best wishes for his success. Your friend, -' , . CHAMP CLARK (EirAy was raoimr
