MARKETS

WEATHER CAUSES MARKET WEAKNESS CHICAGO. July 23. Big receipts mnd , continued favorable weather brought about freeh weakness in the corn market today. At tirst, there was some showing of strength as a result of transient scarcity of offerings. Buying, however, lacked force. Opening prices, which varied from the same as yesterday's finish to 1 l-4c higher, with August $1.48 1-2 to $1.49 1-8 and September $1.49 3-4 to $1.50 3-8, were followed by a decided general setback. Liberal offerings to arrive weakened the oats market. Hedging pressure was evident. After opening 1-Sc off to l-4c advance, with August 67 3-4c to 68 l-4c, prices hardened a little and then underwent a material sag. Higher quotations on nogs tended to uphold provisions. Demand, though, was checked by the weakness of grain. GRAIN QUOTATIONS CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE ' CHICAGO, July 23. Th3 range of futures on the Chicago Board of Trade follows: No trading in wheat.

Second Session of With

(By Associated Pressl WASHINGTON, July 23 With total appropriations only a little short of $30,000,000,000, and more to be authorized later, the second session of the sixty-fifth congress will stand as a record session in point of cash authorizations. Succeeding congresses, leaders believe, will be called on for even greater expenditures so long as America maintains its vast military establishment in Europe. A report compiled by Representative Sherley of Kentucky, chairman of the house appropriations committee, made public today, shows in some detail the amounts authorized by congress, the bulk of? which is for prosecuting the war. In exact figures, congress has authorized in its second session a total of $29,791,241,773, and requests from various government de partments for additional amounts for needs not anticipated when original estimates were made, are being sent in frequently. Mr. Sherley estimates that while this amount has been authorized the

Former Fountain City Boy in Active Service in Front Lines

Leslie C. Keever, formerly of Fountain City, who is now in France with the American forces, describes his experiences in the front lines, in a letter written his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Keever, ho are now living in Navarre, Mich. Places mentioned in the letter, and some of the details given, have been carefully censored. The letter follows: "I am now on active service. I have just come out of the trenches and am now at . In a short time we will be sent back to the . We will then have a chance to take a hot bath and get an entirely new outfit of clothing. "While I was in the trenches I was under shell fire and machine gun fire and also had the sensation of being fired at by a Boche. I didn't receive a scratch as long as I was in. "When we first occupied the front trenches I was put on detail with a certain number of other fellows carrying our "chow" from our soup kitchen in the rear up to the front line used for this purpose. In addition to this I was sent out to wire details at night driving stakes and putting up barbed wires. "I was pulled off these two details on account of having sore feet, and after doing a round of guard duty at company headquarters, I was detailed as litter bearer up at the front line. We (two of us) would stay up in the front line 24 hous, and then we would be relieved by two other men. We could then go back to the second line and sleep on a dugout with two "pill shooters" (medical men) for our 24 hours off duty. This was the best job I had, as we could sleep every other night and didn't have to do anything unless somebody was hurt. IMPROVEMENT MADE IN RED GROSS ROOMS Through the patriotism and generosity of a number of little girls, Wayne county's Red Cross rooms are to be improved so as to add to the efficiency of the future work of the organization. Several weeks ago a number of little girls in charge of Miss Emily Bailey, conducted a fairy play, "Snow White," from which they received $115. The money was contributed to the local organization to cover the work now being done. Two new offices are to be fitted up. On the north side the home service section will be located and on the south side will be the executive offices of the chapter. Large white signs have been placed in the windows upon which are huge red crosses and in the inscription "Wayne County Chapter of American Red Cross." A new stock room is also being arranged. It will have large cupboards and shelves and is being paid for with $100, the gift of an anonymous contributor. Seven dollars, the proceeds of a children's entertainment, have also been donated to the chapter. This was made by children all under 12 years of age, who gave recitations, dances and songs. The affair was in hands of Miss Dorothy Cmpbell and Miss Ruth Mullen. STEAMER DISABLED BY SUBMARINE AN ATLANTIC PORT, July 23. A large steamer with part of her smoke stack gone and her bridge damaged, in tow of a government tug off the southern New Engand coast was reported by the captain of a steamer which arrived here today. The captain believed the disabled vessel to be a Belgian relief steamer. The tug and her tow were in the vicinity of the operations of the German submarines which on Sunday attacked a tug and four barges. ASSIGNMENT OF FOUR MINUTE MEN Tuesday Murray: F. F. Riggs.

Congress Holds Record Total Appropriations of $30,00000,000

expenditures in the next fiscal year; will not reach that sum. "In point of fact," Mr. Sherley said, "the probability Is that such expenditures will be at least $5,000,000,000 or $6,000,000,000 less than that amount. In this connection It is Interesting to consider appropriations made for the fiscal year 1918. I submit such a statement for that fiscal year, sub divided between the amount of loans to allies and those for other purposes, which show a total for both purposes of approximately $18,900,000,000. Army Bill Greatest "Of this amount there was actually expended for government purposes, Including the payment in the form of loans to our allies, of a little over $13,500,000,000, leaving approximately $5,300,000,000 of those appropriations not expended." Of the total appropriations, the greatest single measure was the army bill, carrying upward of $12,085,000,000 for the upkeep of the army at home and abroad. In that bill, however, the clothing for the soldiers is not pro "About the worst thing I found about the trenches was the rats, cooties and mud. I sure will appreciate a chance to clean up. "Air battles are common, and we see them almost every day. They sure are exciting things to watch, but I haven't seen a machine shot down yet. The United States wasn't a bit slow in subscribing for the third Liberty Loan, was she? It certainly cheers us to know the folks at home are backing us up." U. S. TAKES OVER GAPE COD CANAL (By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, July 23 Taking over by the government of the Cape Cod canal was expected today through the issuance by President Wilson of a formal proclamation. The step is to be taken as a means of protection from submarine operations to the coal supply going from southern ports to New England and also as a means of expediting the movement of coal into the New England states where a serious shortage existed last winter. The taking over of control and operation of the canal has been recommended by the war, navy and commerce departments and by the railroad administration under which it would be operated. The board of rivers and harbors engineers was to hold a hearing today on the proposal that the government buy the canal. In view of the contemplated action by the president, it was considered probable that the hearing would be called off. ; WITH THOSE IN ARMY AND NAVY This column, containing news of Richmond and Wayne county soldiers and sailors, will appear daily in the Palladium.

vided, and an additional amount for that equipment was provided in the general deficiency bill, carrying more than $1,000,000,000. Next to the army bill came the fortifications appropriations act carrying upwards of $5,473,000,000 for: heavy siege guns abroad and air and coast defenses at home. The naval appropriation act, which authorized a vast increase in the enlisted personnel of the army, appropriated upward of $1,600,000,000, and a sundry civil bill appropriated nearly $3,000,000,000. To meet, the $29,791,000,000 to be expended, there is in sight a total revenue of $18,161,000,000, including upwards of $4,000,000,000 under .existing tax laws, postal revenues and loans authorized and not made use of. The statement also shows that there are authorized bond issues of $22,000,000,000, of which amount only $9,978,000,000 have been issued. In addition to this, there has been authorized an issue of war savings

stamps amounting to $2,000,000,000 of which there has been issued only approximately $307,000,000. T. R. DECLINES TO MAKE RAGE FOR GOVERNOR Energy Devoted to War Problems, Tells New York Republicans. OYSTER BAY, N. Y., July 23. Col. Theodore Roosevelt Issued a statement Monday night in which he declared that under no circumstances would he accept the Republican-nomination for governor of New York. The former president made his announcement when he sent a telegram to Attorney General Merton E. Lewis at Albany in reply to a message which Mr. Lewis sent several days ago offering to withdraw from the race if the colonel would become a candidate. The message follows: "I am very genuinely touched by the spirit of your request and I need hardly say how much I appreciate the honor you do me. But I cannot be a candidate for nor accept the nomination for governor of New York. "The position of governor in any state, and especially in this great and most populous state, is one of the very highest consequence and there is no man in the United States who ought not to feel honored to have the chance of filling it. But the duties of the place are not only of the highest importance but are also very exacting and onerous and demand all of any man's time and energy, and whoever occupies the place should devote himself whole-heartedly to the work and, therefore, his heart and soul and brain should be whole-heartedjy in the work. This was true of me twenty years ago when I became governor of New York It is not and cannot be true of me now. "For the last four years my whole being has been absorbed in the consideration of the tremendous problems, national and international, created by the war. I have thought of them and dwelt on them in my mind to the exclusion of all other subjects. I could not turn from them with any heart to deal with any other subjects, even the domestic problems of this great state, deeply though I appreciate the vital importance of these problems. "My -uiprk is for the men who are fighting in this war. My mind dwells continually on the problems of the war, on the international problems of the peace which is to close and justify the war, and on the tremendous problems, social and industrial, with which we shall be faced after the war is ended. This being so the very fact of my intense appreciation of the magnitude of the New York state interests with which the governor of New York state must dead forbid my undertaking a task to which I could not bring the whole of whatever strength and thought and ability I possess." City Statistics Deaths and Funera'ls. PEGG William Pegg, 70 years old, died Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the home of his son, 424 South Fourteenth street.

ALLIED FORGES

Continued From Page One. the French and Americans, who continue to advance. Between Rheims and the Marne, the allies maintain their gains of the past several days. South of Soissons to the Ourcq and in Champagne, ' very violent artillery bombardments are taking place. The Germans are reported burning stores and munitions in the area north of the Marne , and in the angle between the Marne and the Ardre, which flows into the Vesle at Fismes. Observers hold that the Germans probably are preparing for a retirement to the Vesle or to a line based on that river, which parallels the Manne 15 miles to the north. Despite heavy German attacks, French and American troops north and northeast of Chateau-Thierry still push on and are now on a line well to the east of La Croix and Grlsolles and northeast of Mont St. Pere. Two towns in this area have been captured by the Americans. The Germans in this area, probably will retire more to the north as their positions are without adequate means of supply and support and the slightest allied advance along the Ourcq would render them untenable. Ineffectual attacks by the enemy to drive the allies back on the eastern leg of the salient, have resulted in stiff fighting. In Courton and Rol Woods, where the enemy blows were heaviest, the allies repulsed all attacks. North of Courton wood, British troops in an advance have taken 200 prisoners and 40 machine guns. CASES POSTPONED Two young men. Franklin C. Hebber and Marc Johanning who were ar rested for speeding on South Eighth street were brought up in city court Tuesday morning but the cases were postponed until Saturday morning.

It Is reported unofficially from London that General Gouraud has drtlfl the enemy back behind the old FreWa line between the Suippes river ani Masignes, a front of 12 miles. Coupled with French gains Just east of Rheims last week, this report, if true, means that the French now hold the same front lines as before the German offensive east and west of Rheims. German troops within the salient south of the Vesle, not only have lost all their supply lines, but are being subjected to a very great bombardment by big guns and French airmen. In the Vesle and Ardre valleys the French bombers have dropped 50 tons of bombs. All the important railroad convoy centers likewise have been liberally deluged from the air and several fires have been observed., Germans Admit Gain.- "' German reports of the fighting fay that on Sunday all allied efforts were repulsed and that tt Germans gained complete success in the battle. Admission is made however, that the allies have, advanced to the new German line north and northeast of Chateau-Thierry. Divisions hurried from the north to the aid of the German crown prince, have been counter-balanced by British divisions. When it became known some days ago, that the Germans were sending troops from the British front toward the Marne, an equal number of British divisions were sent south by General Foch and have been making good gains in the fighting southwest of Rheims. On the remainder of the western front and in Italy the opposing tro6ps have been occupied with raids andrtillery duels more or less violent. BP ish airmen in further raids into Germany have dropped bombs with effective results on Mannheim, Rottveil, and Zweibrucken. Heavy explosions were caused in factories at the two last named places.
