MARKET

STRENGTH DEVELOPS IN CORN MARKET CHICAOO. April 24. Strength developed In the corn market today, as a result of falling off in arrivals from the country and owing to lack of offerings. It took but little buying to bring about a sharp advance. Favorable weather had only a transient bearish effect Opening prices, which varied from unchanged figures to c lower, with May 127 and July 149, were followed by an upturn all around especially in July. Demand from the seaboard helped to lift the oats market. There was no pressure to sell. After opening a shade off to c advance, prices scored material gains. GRAIN QUOTATIONS CHICAGO. April. 24.

German Hopes of Supplies

NEW YORK. ' April ; 24. German hopes' of enormous food supplies from Ukraine, referred to In glowing reports at the time of the conclusion of the peace treaty with the Ukraine, have fallen greatly. The delay In the Importation of food supplies into the central powers from Ukranla up to this time has 'been explained repeatedly as due solely to transportation difficulties in the new country. A dispatch from Berlin, published in the Cologne Gazette, of March 13, a copy of which has been received here, explains that the large estates in the Ukraine all have been devastated and that such supplies as existed were in the possession of the farmers. ' The dispatch adds: : . ""There are great supplies in exist ence, but It is impossible at this time to give exact figures regarding the amount." Factors of a political and financial nature also have to be reckoned with in getting control of the foodstuffs. The dispatch says-: Feeling Is Unsettled. ' "A correct basis for discussion cf the question as to what we may ex JAP MINISTER HAS RESIGNED (By Associated Press.) LONDON, April 24. Viscount Motono, Japanese minister for foreign affairs, has resigned, according to a Reuter dispatch from Toklo. The question of Japanese intervention in Siberia probably led to the withdrawal of Viscount Tchlro Motono from the foreign ministry of which he has been the head since November, 1916, when Count Terauchie formed the present cabinet. There have been reports recently that Viscount Motono might resign in connection with the Siberian situation, but explanation of such a possibility were scanty. Viscount Motono, who was given his present title in . July,1916, was Japanese ambassador to Russia previous to his elevation to the foreign ministry. Since his graduation from the University of Lyons, France, he has been connected with the Japanese foreign office and has served as minister to Belgium and minister to France. Baker Seeks Legislation to Protect Soldiers on Patrol Duty in U. S. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, April 24. Legislation to protect soldiers on patrol duty in this country from assaults by civilians is being sought by Secretary Baker. In letters to the chairman of the senate and house military committees he urges an amendment to the penal code providing for the trial of such cases in federal courts. "During the spring and summer of last year," says Mr. Baker, "a large number of troops were scattered throughout the country guarding important structures or works- necessary for the safety of the nation. Numerous assaults were made upon sentries and in some communities convictions could not be secured on account of local sentiment. When an enlisted man is placed in a position of danger the government should afford them all possible protection. CHESTER, IND. Rev. L. F. Ulmer filled his regular appointment here Sunday.

Mr. Lemon appeals to all those who pledged money but have not yet paid it, to do so as soon as possible in order that the county allotment may be cleaned up.

Enormous Food From U kraine Fall

pect from the Ukraine Is gained when It Is borne In mind that naturally the political feeling in the Ukraine Is still in a state of agitation and unsettled, and that the political difficulties that will have to be met are enormous. "There will be no surprise to know that' a certain degree of distrust toward the invading powers prevails among the populations. Added to these difficulties are those of a financial nature, - the lack of money exchanges and of rubles of the czaristic period. We must supply the Ukrainians with goods In exchange for foodstuffs and the fanners must have sufficient seed for planting and necessary agricultural implements. "It is necessary therefore, to correctly weight the difficulties of the situation, to reduce exaggerated expectations and to wait until political conditions have quieted and transportation difficulties have improved and the actual amount of available supplies have been ascertained. As in the case of all developments in these times, it is the first duty to be patient and the second duty is to be critical of all exaggerated reports." America Sends Allies $277,187,505 Worth of Foodstuffs in March ( Associated Press.) . WASHINGTON, April 24 America's contribution of food to the civilian populations of the allies increased enormously during March.

It was in March that the food administration decided to ask greater sac rifices from the people at home in or der to relieve distress overseas.

If they could send her over to cook for the soldiers in France they would win the war in half the time. That is what she says, anyway. She, too, wears a service pin. A little high school girl with curls down her back is "crazy to go," she tells the women at the registration booth. She has wanted to be a Red Cross nurse, she confides, but they told her she was not old enough. She wonders if she could not drive an ambulance. She takes her father's car everywhere. Finally with an air of having been cheated out of something she registers for Red Cross work. There was a German woman next. She was born in Germany, and so were h,er parents. But she advocates drastic methods against the kaiser. "Anything to Help" "I want to do anything," she 6ays, "anything that will help the United States to whip that beast." A middle-aged woman, strong and capable, applied for registration. They suggest Red Cross work or something that she can do in her tome. "Not at all," she refuses without temporizing, "I want to fill a man's place. That's what this thing is ior. anyway." She registers for industrial work. All of them make the sacrifice. They tell their ages to a woman, whom they suspect may tell it to some one else. Once In a while they stammer and hesitate, but they always tell it. It is the last convincing proof that the women of Richmond are really eager to serve their country. .

Eight Germans ' Charles Sinkler, a Philadelphia, lawyer who is now with. the Red Cross and was in the thick of the fighting, told the correspondent today of two Americans who armed only with automatic pistols, charged an enemy machine gun, killed eight Germans and captured the gun. It Is also related that one American sharpshooter killed fifteen Germans. . In a village, a short distance behind the front lines, Gladys and Irene McIntyre, sisters, of Mount Vernon, N. Y., Salvation Army representatives, during the height of the engagement, handed out to the soldiers coffee, chocolate, dougtnuts and much good cheer. They went on with their work while the shells were falling all around them and would not leave until at last they were ordered to do so. Now they are called "daughters of the regiments." Miss Irene Mclntyre said: "We want to go back to our boys. They are the finest fellows in the world, not afraid of anything.' Any woman would be glad to die to serve them.
