BRINGING UP CORN PRICES ARE BOOSTED BY REPORT CHICAGO, Nov. 8 Strength developed In corn prices today owing to the fact that the government crop report indicated a smaller yield than the trade had expected. It took but little buying to bring about a rather Bharp advance. Offerings were comparatively scarce. Initial quotations, which ranged from unchanged figures to lc higher with Dec. $1.17 and May $1-12 to $1.13, were followed by a material upturn all around. Oats sympathized with the corn Huge shipments of lard and meats made the provision market ascend. Higherprices on hogs counted also as an element of strength. GRAIN QUOTATIONS rmrion Nov. 9.

Bodies of First Three American

Soldiers, Killed in Trenches, Are Reposing on French Soil

(By Associated Press WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Wednesday Nov. 7. The first three American soldiers killed in the trenchjes in France tonight are sleeping in French soil, honored by the American army and the people and aj-my of France. Their final interment took place yesterday. With a guard of French infantrymen in their picturesque uniforms of red and horizon blue standing on one side and a detachment of American soldiers on the other, the flag wrapped caskets were lowered into the grave as a bugler blew taps and the batteries at the front fired minute guns. As the minute guns went off, the French officer commanding the division in this section paid tribute to the fallen Americans. His words, which were punctuated by the roar of the guns and the whistle of shells, touched both the French and Americans. In conclusion the French officer said : "In the name of the -th division, in the name of tie French army and in the name of France, bid farewell to Private Enright, Private Gersham and Private Hay of the American army. "Of their own free will they had left a prosperous and happy country to come over here. They knew war was continuing in Europe; they knew that the forcers fighting for honor, love of justice and civilization were still checked by the long prepared forces serving the powers of brutal domination, oppression and barbarity. They knew that efforts were still necessary. They wished to give up their generous hearts and they have not forgotten old historical memories, while others forgot' more recent ones. They Braved All. "They Ignored nothing of the circumstances and nothing had been concealed from them neither the length and hardships of war, nor the violence of battle, nor the dreadfulness of new weapons, nor the perfidy of the foe. Nothing stepped them. They accepted the hard and strenuous life; they crossed the ocean at great peril; they took their places on the front by our side and they have fallen facing the foe in a hard and desperate hand to hand fight. Honor to them. Their families, friends and fellow citizens A consignment of knitting needles has arrived at the Red Cross rooms. Needles may be secured at any time. Some of the children who attend the West Richmond schools are assisting the Red Cross workers this week. Miss Anna Lough attended a meet ing at the St. Andrew's church Thursday afternoon and displayed a number of hospital garments which will be made by the women of the parish. They will also assist in making the surgical dressings. Three circles were formed at St. Andrew's Catholic church Thursday afternoon to assist with the work of the Red Cross and to form surgical dressing classes at the association rooms one day each week. The circles are in charge of Mrs. A. G. Lukeh with Mrs. Henry Broerman, Mrs. Ben Broerman and Mrs. Albert Pardjeck as captains. Members of the circles are' Mrs. Carl Piatt. Mrs Wessel, Mrs. Winters, Miss Minnie Geers, Mrs. Harman Wilkemeyer, Mrs. Joseph Schepman, Mrs. Albert Torbeck, Mrs. Aber-i dick. Miss Bertha Fihei Mrs. Darnell,! Miss Ina Vogelman, Mrs. Gatzek, Mrs. i Edward Vosmeler. Mrs. Frank Stlens, Mrs. Flora Dickman, Miss Mary Grot-j haus, Mrs. Mary Ernst, Mrs. Henry i Vogelsong, Mrs. Anthony Miller, Miss j Agnes Grothaus, Mrs. Christ, Mrs. I Harry Smithmeyer, Miss Elizabeth i Brune, Miss Anna Siolle, Mrs. Dana, Mrs. H. Smithmeyer, Mrs. Ferd Grothaus, Mrs. Schnelle, Mrs. Dalter, Mrs. Frank GauBepohl, Mrs. Henry Runge, Mrs. Kihlow, Mrs. Ben Maag and Mrs. Brucker.

Seventy-five persons attended an organization meeting for Red Cross work at Greensfork, Thursday evening. Officers as fallows were named: Chairman, Mrs. Ora.Wise; vice-chairman, Mrs. Harry Sagan; secretary and treasurer, Mrs. Ray Deeter. A repesentative from Richmond will give instructions in the work of the meeting of the Greensfork branch Tuesday.

Red Cross Notes

will be proud when they learn of their deaths. "Men! These graves, the first to be dug in our national soil and only a short distance from the enemy, are as a mark of the mighty land we and our allies firmly cling to in the common task, confirming the will of the people and the army of the United States to fight with us to a finish, ready to sacrifice as long as is necessary until final victory for the most noble of causes, that of the liberty of nations, the weak as well as the mighty. Thus the deaths of these humble soldiers appear to us with extraordinary grandeur. "We will therefore ask that the mortal remains of these young men be left here, left with us forever. We Inscribe on the tombs 'Here He the first soldiers of the republic of the United States to fall on the soil of France for liberty and justice.' The passerby w ill stop and uncover his head. Travellers and men of heart will go out of their way to come here to pay their respective tributes. "Private Enright! Private Gresham! Private Hay! In the name of France I thank you. God receive your souls. Farewell!"

QUAIL SHOOTERS HELP GERMANY INDIANAPOLIS, .Nov. 9. Under the caption "If you shoot quails this year you aid Germany," Frank N. Wallace, state entomoligist, has issued a staten.ent urging Indiana quail hunters to forego their sport this year during the season which opens Saturday, Nov. 10. Mr. Wallace's statement follows: "Quail in Indiana should be given every protection this year. The person who kills one of these birds gives aid to Germany. Are you that kind of a sportsman? "The hordes of insect3 which destroyed millions of dollars worth of crops this year had no greater enemy than the quail and Indian needs and should have every one of them protected this winter. Each quail you kill means more insect damage next year, because a large part of the quail's food consists of insects which hiberr. ate during the winted. "Thousands of farmers feed the quail when there is a deep snow or sleet on the ground, when the quail cannot scratch for insects, and it is an outrage that hunters should come in and, within an hour or so, destroy something which is invaluable to the farmer. "Let us recognize the Bob White as one of our allies and see that he is not hunted this year and let us class those, who attempt to destroy him, as a friend of Germany." CD

Later an operation par tially restored the sight and he was able to find his way about without assistance. He had written several books and was the author of a number of photoplay scenarios. Strangely, "twilight and death Is the theme of one of the poems featured in his last published work. - This poem, entitled "the soul of the sun" contains such seemingly prophetic stanzas as these: The Angelus ringing reminds me - That the evening of life Is at hand. Death takes me away as he finds me. Time loaned I am to pay on demand. Oh I Death's like the sun In Its sinking; We live, but to dust we have gone, Of the cup of life we're through drinking, Then the sun-setting soul must pass on. To Dr. Chapin, the ringing of the telephone bell In his room while the city was bathed In the glow of dying day, was the Angelus that fore-ran his own death. When Dr. Chapin left his hotel yesterday, he told his wife, she stated to the police, that he was going to another hotel to meet some one with whom he had an appointment. Attendants at the latter hotel heard two men excitedly discussing business af fairs in a room on the third floor. Finds Chapin on Floor. Late Jn the afternoon an Inspector at tne hotel made her rounds of the room3 on the third floor. In the room in which the murder was committed, sne saw a man lying midway between two windows with blood streamine irom nis neaa. Efforts to obtain an ante mortem' statement from the dying man were fu tile. The room in -which the crime was committed was In perfect order, except that a few cigar and cigarette butts were scattered on the floor, and the bed appeared to have been recently slept in. On the bureau was a paper bag containing apples and a few bananas. Near the bureau was a new black grip, which was found to be empty. There was no sign of a struggle. No weapon was found in the room, and there were no marks on the furniture to suggest a fall. Police and the coroner believe Dr. Chapin was struck a terrific blow from behind and that he was made helpless. The room clerk at the hotel told police that he registered a stranger at S o'clock yesterday morning and assigned him to the room in which Dr. Chapin was killed. The visitor carried a small black grip and signed his name and city 4n an almost illegible scrawl. Police believe both name and city to be fictitious.
