MARKETS

PRICE WEAKNESS ON COM MARKET CHICAGO. July 23 Corn prices bowed weakness today as a result of the failure qf frost predictions and owing to a favorable weather forecast. Continued liberal receipts together with sales to go to store here tended also to handicap bulls. Buying was of only a scattered sort. Opening prices, which ranged from 3-4 to 1 1-8C, were followed by decided further set backs ajid then by some thing of a rally. Oats were easier with corn. Trade was light. After opening unchanged to lc down, with August 69 3-4 to 70c, the market underwent a moderate additional sag. Lower quotations on hogs had a depressing effect on provisions. Weak- : ness of grain was also a bearish factor. GRAIN QUOTATIONS CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE CHICAGO, July 25. The range of futures on the Chicago Board of Trade follows: No trading in wheat.

HUN RETREAT

Continued From Page One. (By Associated Press Easterly and westerly movements are pending to converge to close the pocket. Speed seems to be the watch word of the allies along the line as attested by orders on the American front to Ignore machine gun nests and press on, leaving detachments to deal with the German gunners. German rear guards have again hurled themselves at the pursuing allied forces on the north bank of the Marne. Before the momentum of their blow the allies were obliged to withdraw from the little wood to the north of the town of Treloup, and were forced back out of the village of Chassins, a little farther east The success of the Germans was, however, short lived, for they were immediately driven back by a renewed attack by the allies. Northward along the line towards Solssons, and to the northeast toward Rheims, there have been heavy bombardment but no infantry fighting is reported. As the days of heavy fighting continue on the battle field north of the Marne it becomes increasingly apparent that the German retirement Is well under way. This withdrawal Is apparently being conducted in an orderly if not deliberate manner, being covered by some rear guard action as that reported at Treloup and Chassins. A study of the map of the region where the struggle is going on shows that along the line from Jaulgonne, northwest to Oulchy le Chateau, just north of the Ourcq, or even further, tho alliwi have pressed ahead during the past two days. As nearly as the location of the contending forces can be determined at present the Germans have been forced back or have retird ovr much of this line, a distance of nearly three miles since Tuesday. North of the Ourcq river the situation is obscure owing to the lack of details given out through official reports or press dispatches. It may be said, however, that for the moment the line from Solssons southward to the Ourcq has reached a state of equilibrium and that the deadlock between the offensive of the allies and the defensive of the Germans will prabably continue until the former bring up sufficient fresh troops to break the line at some vital point. The progress south of Ourcq, however, has placed in jeopardy the village of Fere-en-Tardenois, which, is one of the most important bases in this region. At last account the French and Americans were almost directly south of this place. Military critics in Paris inclined to the view that General Ludendorff, the German commander, will probably launch a new attack on some other sector or In the front in order to gain a local success to gloss over his failure at the Marne. He might, by this means, also wrest the initiative from General Foch and force the latter to BIG WHEAT YIELD AT HAGERSTOWN HAGERSTOWN, Ind., July 25. Elmer Crull, threshed sixty-four acres of wheat for Carver Pollard, east of the city, that yielded 30 bushels per acre. Ono field of twelve acres yielded 36 bushels per acre. This is the largest yield per acre of any in this locality. Oscar petro has a large average which Crull is threshing today. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kellog, of Indianapolis, have been the guests of Mr and Mrs. William Teetor. They were entertained at dinner Wednesday by Mrs. Julia Coffman. Union County Farmer Acquitted of Theft LIBERTY. Ind., July 25. Charles Bailey, a young farmer living north of Liberty, was acquitted of a charge of larceny by Justice of the Peace Smelser Thursday. It was charged that Bailey had stolen seven bushels of clover seed, worth over $100, from the barn of Allie Bias, The prosecuting witness did not appear at the trial. Automobile tracks leading to .the Bailey home had led to the arrest. It was proved by the defendant .that his automobile was in a garage at the time the theft was committed.

remove some of his troops from the Solssons-Rheims area. It seems to be agreed that the logical point to expect such a German attack is somewhere along the British held Jne. The British, In the meantime, are not Idle. They have been conducting raiding operations in the Nebuterne sector for some time. Allies Maintain Progress. Overcoming strong enemy resistance, the allied troops maintain their progress on the Rheims-Soissons battle field. General Foch's offensive enters upon its second week today, with the Germans still being forced back before the smashing blows of French, British and American armies. Extreme severity marks the fighting on a greater portion of the front. Goodly gains are being made by the French and American between the Ourcq and the Marne and by the British southwest of Rheims. Steadily" as allied pressure has forced the Germans back within the pocket formed by the battle lines, the German's defensive efforts have increased in ferocity, due to the continuous throwing in of reserve divisions. The allied offensive, therefore, In one week, not only has brought the fifth German offensive to a hasty halt, but has turned it into a disastrous repulse and also forced the enemy to bring in reserved troops from other fronts. Military observers in Paris believe that the German command is preparing for a new blow against the allies in order to counter balance the situation on the Rheims-Soissons front. Close on Supply Base. From the west along the Ourcq and from the south the French and Americans are closing in on Fere-en Tardenois, the German base of supplies on the lower side of the pocket. The town has been under violent shellflre for several days and the enemy has made vicious counter attacks, which, although partly successful temporarily, finally were turned into advances for I the hard-hitting French and Ameri cans. Not only has L,pieds been retaken, but the Americans have advanced beyond Courpoil, five miles south of Fere. Between Courpoil and the Marne, the French and Americans are fighting their way forward through the forests of Fere and Ris. Bridgeheads along the Marne have been extended farther. While the advance on the -western side of the salient has been more spectacular, the steady allied pressure on the eastern side continues unabated and is making progress. British troops around the important point of Vrigny, three miles south of the Vesle, and the Rheln s-Soissons railroad, slowly are pressing the enemy back. This advance not only threatens the German lines west of Rheims, but places the enemy forces between Vrigny and the Marne in a bad position. The terrain there is hilly and wooded and there is still quite a bulge in the German line. The bulge on the western end of the line was wiped out when the Germans retired from ChauteauThierry. From all sides the allied artillery is battering the German positions unceasingly. Bombs by the hundreds are being dropped with good effects on dumps and depots. American aviators are reported to have brought down five German machines in aerial combats, north of the Marne, Wednesday. Berlin Reports Success. The German crown prince has not yet been forced in a general retreat, but not a day of the allied offensive has gone by without additional gains being mada by the allied troops. Virtually all but one of his lines of communication have been lost and his position is becoming increasingly uncomfortable as fresh troops in repeated efforts fail to check the steady sweep forward of the allies. Berlin contiues to report that all allied thrusts are being defeated, using the adjective completely in telling of Tuesday's fighting. Similarly the German war office describes the French toward the Avre, nortwest of Montdidier, in which the enemy lost 1,180 prisoners, four cannon and three hundred machine guns, as of no effect. The lull on the other fighting sectors in France and Italy still is unbroken. In Albania the French have completed their present movement by the captupre of important heights and the occupations of two additional villages. British and allied shipping losses in June were the lowest in 21 months, or since September 1916. Losses due to German submarines and mines and marine risk totalled 276,629 tons in June, the British losses being 161,000 tons. n TO Mi

ADVANCE OF

Continued From Page One. of the Marne being constantly punished, the Germans have been forced to give up more territory. The French and American troops tonight rested, some distance in advance of the point where they started this morning. The German retirement under pressure is believed to indicate that General von Boehm, the commander of the enemies within the salient, has ' had enough punishment to convince him of the advisability of taking new positions. Took Foe by Surprise. (By Associated tresst BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, July 25 via Ottawa The south Africans who took part in the successful attack at Meteren on the Flanders front on July 17, came from all quarters of that dominion and included a goodly proportion of the Dutch element. Forming the right wing of the British force, they advanced farther and faster than any of the other units. Advancing behind a smoke screen and wearing gas masks, the South Africans took the enemy by surprise, although having some trouble with the enemy in shell craters and cleverlyconcealed machine gun nests. Their casualties considering the measure of their success, were comparatively little. I The enemy so far has not attempted ; a counter attack on the new British positions. "MARKS DECISIVE TURN." (By Associated Press) PARIS, July 25. The army committee of the Chamber of Deputies has received very favorable reports from members with the army In the fields. Rene Renoult, president of the committee, thus sums up the observations made: "The German offensive, prepared in secret for more than a month and led Dy ntty divisions was in a tew days, almost in a few hours, broken up and then victoriously swept back. It is to the peerless valor of the French soldiers and their American, British and Italian comrades and to the science of the military chiefs who proved unquestionably mastery in the conception and execution of the operations that these results are due. "This certainly marks a decisive turn in the war." Two Boys Drowned in Creek Near Kokomo 'By Associated Press) KOKOMO, Ind., July 25 Bud Stafford, aged 17, and Kenneth Bullock, aged 10, were drowned in Pipe creek Wednesday afternoon. The Bullock lad got in beyond his depth and Stafford going to his rescue, was also dragged under the water, both boys drowning before help arrived. The accident occurred at the "sugar" swimming hole, a few miles west of Bunker Hill. Both boys belong to families well known in southern Cass and northern Howard counties.
