RAINS IN KANSAS BREAK CORN PRICE CHICAGO, Aug. 1. Rains in Kansas where draught has been a great drawback to the crop outlook today led to a sharp break In the value of corn. Bearish sentiment was further increased by an estimate from a leading export who figured the probable yield this season in the United States as 3,175,000,000 bushels to 3,700,000,000. Action of the directors of the board of trade in stopping all fresh dealings in the September delivery of . corn tended also to handicap the bulls. Opening prices, which ranged from Sc to lc lower, with December at 116s to 116 and May at 115 to 11 5 H. were followed by a material additional drop. Wheat showed steadiness, influenced by opinions that although the spring crop yield was likely to be 40,000,000 bushels less than was predicted a month ago, the shortage had been fully offset by an enlarged harvest of winter wheat. After opening at 218 bid for September an overnight advance of lc, the market later reacted to 217. Oats declined with corn. Threshing returns were said to be above the average, and there were forecasts that the crop might total 1,500,000,000 bushels.. Weakness developed in provisions as a result; of the downward swing of the corn market. GRAIN QUOTATIONS CHICAGO. Aug. 1. The range of futures follows: Wheat ODen. High. Low.

"The chancellor refrained from speaking about my declaration March 21 wherein I repudiated in France's name any policy of conquest and annexation by force. He has wilfully forgotten my language May 22 in the chamber saying we were ready to enter into conversation with Russia as to the object of the war and If the German people whose right to live and develop peacefully we do not contest understood that we wished peace founded on the right of the people, the conclusion of peace would thereby be singularly facilitated.

speech In the chamber of deputies warning against those who wished to spread the conviction that France was seeking conquest and read the terms of the resolution adopted by the chamber at that time declaring that peace conditions must include the liberation of territories occupied by Germany, the return of Alsace-Lorraine to France and Just reparation for damage done in the Invaded regions. The resolutions also favored the creation of a league of nations for the maintenance of peace. "Thoughts Too Crude." "Who now dare say to the world that we wish annexation," continued Premier Ribot. "Such thoughts are too crude to deceive anyone, especially the democratic masses of the Russian people, who it is vainly being tried to separate from their allies, by deceiving them as to the true sentiments of French democracy. "What is the chancellor seeking? He Istrying to hide the embarrassment which he feels in defining Germany's objects of war and conditions wherein she would make peace. He is trying especially to turn aside attention from the terrible responsibility weighing on

the conscience of the kaiser and his councilors. "It Is on the morrow of the publication of decisions made July 5, at a council held at Petadam at which all consequences of the ultimated to be sent to Serbia were discussed the from which war was bound to spring that the cahncellor is trying this diversion. There is something shameless when one has such responsibilities, in demanding our intentions. "Assuredly it is not to Germany that we address ourselves but to all who are witness or actors in the struggle which we have been maintaining for the past three years and who know

No Richmond resident who suffers backache, or annoying urinary Ills can remain unconvlnc-" ed by this twice-told testimony. J. W. Morris, prop, meat market. 421 Main St., Richmond, says: "I suffered from backache for several years, the attacks at times being so severe that I could hardly straighten up. I was told it was lumbago. The kidney secretions were sometimes profuse, and then again scanty in passage, making it plain that my kidneys were affected. I began doctoring, but it was not until I had taken several different medicines without success that I chanced on Doan's Kidney Pills. I used three boxes and was cured of the backache." The above statement was given on Dec. 12, 1908, and on Sept. 15. 1915. Mr. Morris said: "Since giving a former recommendation for Doan's Kidney Pills, I have had but few occasions to use them. When I have, they have never failed to relieve me." Price, 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Morris has twice publicly recommended.
