STORMY WEATHER BOOSTS CORN PRICE
CHICAGO, iatki It Stormy weather and forecast bi severe cola tended today to harden priees ia the corn market, especially ad meagerness of recelpta indicated that previous tra fle difficulties had hot been nervous: tlealdps, advices in regard to peaee failed to confirm bearish views: Opening quotations, which ranged from 1-8 to 1-8 at l-4o hlgh?f with- January 11.37 3-8 and May 1.35 14, Were followed by a blight further advance in some oases. Oats developed decided strength chiefly owing to the failure of peace talk to bo confirmed. Furthermore, arrivals continued to dwindle. Liberal receipts' of hogs eased provisions. Belling though was only of a scattered sort.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. tL Joseph Rauchbuer, 23 years old, of Munich, Germany, who is held by tke military authorities as a prisoner of war, declared yesterday before being taken to the war prison at Fort Oglethrope, near Atlanta, Ga., that he was a sailor on the first submarine merchantman which Germany attempted to send to the United States In the summer of 1916. The submarine was named Elizabeth. No account of it has ever been made in the press. Rauchbuer .declared that the submarine was loaded with a cargo of silk and dyestuff valued at several hundred thousand dollars. When it came within about forty miles of the American coast it was detected by a British fleet, according to the prisoner. The battle ships turned their guns on the submarine and it was forced to surrender. Rauchbuer asserted that he did not know what became of the submarine, as he was taken prisoner on a British ship and takeai to a prison camp near Montreal, Canada. First Boat to Cross. The German said that the Elizabeth was the first submarine to attempt to carry merchandise across the Atlantic.

After spending a short time in the Canadian prison camp, Rauchbuer said he overpowered a guard. In the fight he lost most of his front teeth and suffered a severe cut on the wrist and a bullet wound. He succeeded in getting away and boarded a freight train bound for the United States. He asserted that he got in a refrigerator car and was sealed in it for more than a day.

Rauchbuer declared that he told th- marshal that he was a citizen of Germany. People Wanted Peace. He declared that the people of Germany are given to understand by the press that the other nations of the world are trying to crush their country. "The press is not like it Is here," he asserted.

"I was a sailor since I was 15 years old," he said. "When the war broke out in 1914 I was drafted and placed on a German vessel which made two trips to San Francisco, Cal., for coal. Each trip was made with safety as we were protected by a fleet of warchips. The coal was taken to Germany.

Here's Big Opportunity for Coming Inventors LONDON, Jan. 11. Referring to the report that it is intended to drop a million copies of President Wilson's address in Germany from airplanes, the Daily Chronicle, while thinking the idea excellent and that If every German could read the address it might lead to a national strike against the war, recalls Germany's recent announcement that pilots caught dropping propaganda would , be shot as spies. Accordingly, the paper appeals to iniventors to produce a machine which of Itself will drop propaganda.

Needs For Faithful Service Never So Great, Says Gregory WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. Officers and employers of the department of Justice were urged by Attorney-General Gregory in a notice posted today In,, all offices not to leave the government service for private employment, even at a higher salary, until the war emergency Is pasc "Every efficient employe' of the government who leavs its service and goes into that of a private individual weakens to that extent the power of the government under existing conditions," said the attorney-general. "At no time in our history, have the needs of our country for faithful and loyal service been so great as now."
"I know of no more unpatriotic thing than for a citizen of the United States to cspitalize and make money out of the present situation. On account of the absense of many men at the front and the enormous Increase In the various activities of our country incidental to the prosecution of the war, private individuals frequently of fer larger salaries than the government, and I can well understand how government employes may feel that they owe it to themselves and their families to accept such offers, A moment's reflection will show that their first duty is to their country and that not being able to fight, the only thing they can do is to bravely bear their part of the burden until the emergency is past."
