MARKETS

RECEIPTS LIBERAL ON CHICAGO MART CHICAGO. March 12 Although unsettled weather tended today to give strength to the corn market, the effect failed to last. Receipts were liberal and there was gossip that if stocks continued to increase, the difficulties in regard to restriction of high prices would seem to be at an end. Business in futures lacked volume. The opening which varied from unchanged figures to higher, with May 127V4 to 127 was followed by a sag to below yesterday's finish. Oats showed weakness from the outset. Leading commission bouses were conspicuous sellers and encountered no special resistance. After opening a shade to to 14 down with May 89 to 89 hi, prices continued to sag. Weakness in the hog market pulled down provisions. Selling, though, was only of a scattered character.

Former Richmond "Silencing" Hun George R. Nixon, former Richmond man in a letter received her1, tells of "flying" in France. Nixon is in the United States balloon service in France. Nixon is a first lieutenant. His letter follows: "ft is a coincidence that three of us out of the branch should be in balloon work, only the men who have come over here as balloon men have not the first idea what balloon work really is. Balloon observation and direction of artillery fire from a captive balloon. "The second class of balloon work is what we call "winch janitor," the officer who stays on the ground and looks after the winch and camp and the inflation of the balloon. He is responsible for the safety of the observers. The observer's work, as I said, is all a direction of fire, and in the French and British armies the observers are artillery officers. I am just completing a coarse in balloon observation and of our class of ten I was the only one to solve our last and most difficult problem. A large part of our work is map work and being able to read maps and interpret photographs taken from airplanes. This was our last problem. To Find Location. "A German gun of large caliber, represented by a large electric flash, was to flash at a given interval and this is wh?.t we had to do: "We went up 3.3o0 feet in the air and had three minutes to place oursel'es In the sector assigned to us, which was five miles square; then some place in that sector the German gun ttasiied at us every two and a half minutes. The flash as only for a second, as it represented a gun flash and was gone, not to flash again for two and a half minutes. We had to pick this flash, fix its location on a map, send the location by co-ordinates to a friendly battery, which took five minutes to open fire, and bring a

War Styles Predominate at Richmond Style Show, March 19

A strange and wierd thing is fashion. F;om whence it comes and where it goes year by year is not for mere man to know. War styles will predominate at the arnual style show to be given by I Richmond merchants. Tuesday, Marco 19, at the Washington theatre. Twenty living models, including young men and young women, will be used to dif play the fashions. Several of the models selected are residents of Richmond. Some professional models will be obtained. There are to be fashion parades, and scenes that will be at the same time entertaining end interesting from the fashion point of view. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Kolp are in charge of the arrangements. One performance will be given in the afternoon at the theatre, and two ill be given at night. Music will be furnished by the Washington theatre orchestra. The displays will be in keeping with the wartime spirit, merchants said Tuesday. Young men will promenade the stage in the plain, tight-fitting attire of our allies, the English: the girls will wear war costumes with a pleasant touch of the military in them. The war colors of white, black, tan and gray will predominate, especially in footwear. Each merchant who will have something on exhibit, is promising some unique and interesting features. Not Limited to Women. Contrary to the usual supposition, the fashion show is not limiting its fppeal to women. The displays are about evenly divided. There will be furniture, flowers, automobile, men's and women's clothing and jewelry exhibits, and the meri will find just as much to interest them as the women. The fashion show this year will be a real introduction of spring styles in

NO TIME TO BARTER WITH THIEVES

Man Tells of Gun From Balloon shot within thirty feet of this flash before there were ten flashes. "The German gun flash was seven miles away from the balloon. The batterwould fire the first shot according :o the location of the flash as we sent it down, and if you did not locate this Hash accurately the smoke bomb was away off the target, and then you had to correct the shot by calling it so many meters right or left, short or over. If you did not silence this German gun by the time it had flashed ten times you were brought down. Three men did not see the flashes at all. Seven saw the flashes and I was the only one that directed any fire cloe enough to bit it. My fifth shot did the work and the gun flashed only five times. The thing that helped me was that I placed the flash within less than forty feet of its position. A meter is thirty-nine and a half inches. No free balloons are used over here and only a few dirigibles. Parachutes Provided. "We do roostof our observing at from 1,000 to 1.5O0 meters. If we are attacked and the balloon catches fire we have a parachute attached to us and jump out of the basket, as we have only seven to ten seconds to get away before the balloon is burned up. It is a great life, if you don't weaken. "We are soon to leave here and go back to our regiments. That means a trip through Paris and a few days' stop off and a good time. "In a town some twenty miles from camp on Saturdays and Sundays for the last two weeks we have had lots of tun and on one occasion 1 had a dandy jovial time.. I sure do have a u of a time with French. I don't seem to be able to get a bit of it. It is laughable to bear me trying to make a Frenchman understand anything. And I have just as hard a time trying to understand him. I have got so I don't try to." Richmond. Ileatless Mondays and uncertain freight shipments have delayed shipments of spring wearing apparel, and consequently the exhibits of spring styles in the shops have been somewhat limited. All the merchants are expecting to have the latest garments and articles at the style show, and Richmond people will be given an excellent opportunity to learn what "they" are going to wear and use this spring. Final arrangements for the show are to be completed by the merchants in a short time. The merchants who are to tae part are Nusbaum, Women's ready-to-wear and millinery; Thomas & Wessel, shoes; Jenkins, jt-welry; Romey, furniture and Brunswick talking machines; Lemon, flowers; Chenoweth, automobiles; Dennis, men's furnishings. Enemy Property Sale in (J. S. Is One Step Nearer WASHINGTON, March 12. Legislation providing for the sale of enemy property in the United States was a tep nearer completion today as the result of the senate's approval yesterday of amendments to the urgent deficiency appropriation bill. The amendments adopted by the senate authorize the disposal of property in this country held by Germans in Germany as requested by Alien Property Custodian Palmer and also empowers the president to ac- j auire title? tn tlio Hnhnkpn nirs nf tlin !

Prompt ap-' proval of both provisions by the house is expected as soon as the senate finally disposes of the $2,000,000 deficiency bill and sends the measure back to the house.

Fire broke out about 1 o'clock and was not under control until 4 o'clock tbjs morning. The origin of the blaze is not known. AMERICANS Continued From Page One. teries did not have a good chance to get into action The Americans were inside the enemy lines for fifteen minutes. Big Battle in Sight. Everywhere on the western front, the German raids are becoming more numerous and stronger. Heavy bombardments now precede each attempt to penetrate the entente positions, but the enemy has not attacked in great force, although an engagement of battle proportions probably is not far distant. In the Ypres sector, in Flanders, and around Armantieres, between Ypres and Arras, the Germans have caried out strong local efforts. At all points the British repulsed the enemy with losses. A German artillery also has been very busy at various points along the front betwen Ypres and St. Qi:entin. In Champagne, northwest of Verdun and north of St. Mihiel, the French have checked strong German raiding parties. Whether to ratify the German peace j GOOD PLUMBING IS THE VERYTHIN5- - TO MAKE YOU.

Press dispatches from Petrograd in the past few days have touched but lightly on the probable decision the congress will make. If it is controlled by Premier Lenine, the congress probably will agree to the harsh terms.
