Oat manly were Influenced by the strength of corn. Receipts, however, were large and there was considerable selling by cash houses. After opening unchanged to c higher, with Sept. 69 to 69V4. the market reacted somewhat, but then took a fresh upward. Provisions showed but little life. Price changes were unimportant.

ANNA HELD IS DEAD; FOUGHT BRAVELY FOR LIFE

Noted Actress Succumbs After Curious Illness Was Born in Paris. NEW YORK, Aug. 13. Anna Held, the actress, died here late Monday, after an illness of several months. Miss Held had been ill since April of a rare malady known as myeloma, a disintegrating of the spinal marrow, and her condition was "reported several time as critical. She rallied repeatedly, however, and until attacked by pneumonia a few weeks ago was regarded as on the road to recovery. Her physicians said that only her remarkable will power had kept her from succumbing long ago. Anna Held was born In Paris, March 18, 1873. Her mother was a Pole. Her father, a small glovemaker, was French. Anna was the youngest of a family of seven children and the only one of the seven to survive. Her childhood was one of hard work, for her father was not successful in business, and the daughter was obliged to work in order to add to the family's income. She was first of all a buttonhole maker, later a feather curler, and subsequently an expert seamstress in the making of fur caps. Attention to her ability was first called through her singing while at work the many songs she heard in the Parisian streets. At that time, however, no thought of appearing on the stage entered her head. Her father's death, when she was still a young girl, took the mother to London in quest of relatives. The search, however, was fruitless and mother ana child lived, as best they could, in an extremely cheap lodging close to the Princess Theater on Oxford street. Anna could not speak English, but her ability to speak and sing in French, Polish and Spanish and German soon won for her a place in the Princess chorus. When she was 12 her mother died, leaving her alone in the world. On a tour of Holland with the Princess company, the young artist purchased some songs and tried these in the music halls on her return to London. Her success was immediate. When 16 years old she made her first appearance in Paris. With the money she was able to save, she studied voice culture and, finally, went ack to London to appear at the Palace Music Hall. There the director induced her to learn to sing a song in English. This was her famous "Won't You Come and Play Wiz Mee?" On the strength of this song, Florenz Ziegfleld engaged her to come to Aremica, Her first appearance here was made in "The Parlor Match," in which she sang the same song. A year later she married Mr. Ziegfleld and was divorced from him only a few seasons ago. M' GONNELL FIRST BISHOP TO SPEAK AT CHAUTAUQUA The popular conception of the pnblic mind of one bearing the dignified title of "Bishop" is one of grey hair and old age, but when Francis McConnell was elected a bishop in the Methdist Episcopal church in 1912 he enjoyed the distinction of being the youngest man, except by about three months, of any one ever elected to that office, and at that time he was just a little past forty years of age. Just immediately before his elevation to the episcopacy, Dr. McConnell, as he was known, had served four years as president of DePauw University and in that short time had established himself as one of the foremost educators in the country and an executive of treat ability. Prior to his coming to DePauw he occupied the pulpits cf some of the greatest churches in the East and was known as a preacher of force and eloquence. Since his election as bishop he has become known as one of the greatest bishops in the church. Having travelled extensively in Mexico, Bishop McConnell was called in consultation by President Wilson to give his views on conditions in that country. So well pleased was the President with the interview that it determined quite largely the attitude of the President toward Mexico and resulted in the bishop being asked to go to France and report upon conditions there. Securing a temporary release from his episcopal duties the bishop went to France early in this year and spent several months close to the fighting fronts, making observations and preaching to the "Boys" In the trenches and Y. M. C. A. establishments. He returned to this country in June and his address at the Chautauqua will be an account of his European trip. With the bishop's personality, his keen observation, his eloquence and power of description, his authority direct from the President, his address will be one of the most authentic accounts of war conditions as they are today. When Bishop McConnell comes to the Chautauqua next Sunday after noon he will also enjoy the distinction of being the first real live , bishop to appear on the Richmond platform. Others have appeared who are now known as bishops, but were not so known at the time of their appearance. No one should miss the bishop's address which will be one of the outstanding features of the entire assembly.

It is apparent the message was written hurriedly and flung overboard just before the vessel sank. The message reads: "Our collier Cyclope captured by German submarine off Virginia coats." BRITISH BOAT SUNK LONDON, Aug. 13. A British torpedo boat destroyer was sunk by an enemy submarine in the Mediterranean on Aug. 6. Seven of the destroyer's complement were lost. The admiralty made this announced today. More "Frightfulness." WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. German submarines which since May, at intervals of several weeks have been attempting to carry the campaign of "frightfulness" to America through the sinking of vessels off Mie Atlantic coast, have decided to carry the war to the shores of America. This was the view taken by many officials today of the attempt by a German submarine to gas the members of the crew of the coast guard station at Smith's Island, North Carolina, last Saturday by spreading oil from which mustard gas was generated over the waters near the island. Navy department dispatches said that although six members of the coast guard crew were overcome by the fumes, no serious after effects were noted. At the navy department today it was declared that the new plan of warfare being waged by the German undersea craft would be no more Fuccessful than the attempts to destroy American shipping. Though 31 vesels have been sunk by U-boats off the Atlantic coast since May, most of the ships have been small, many being only fishing schooners, and the loss of life has been very slight. The department, it was said, was taking all possible measures to deal with submarines. Officials here were hopeful that one of the raiders had been accounted for. Dispatches received by the department told of an attack by an American destroyer on an enemy submarine 100 miles off the Virginia coast, in which seventeen depth bombs were dropped , after which traces of oil were seen on the surface. Two more depth charges were set off and the submarine was not seen thereafter. Though traces of oil on the surface may have indicated the destruction of the U-boat, it was impossible to determine with certainty.

ALLIES START

Continued From Page One. ing any marked impression upon the German lines which are virtually resting, on the old trench system held by the enemy in 1916. Reports received today stated that the ruins of Peronne are in Flames and that several villages behind the German lines are burning. The fires may have been caused by allied bombardments, but it is believed the Germans applied the torch to these towns as a preliminary step to a further retirement eastward. Germans On Old Line Allied troops are now hitting the strengthened German line from the Ancre to the Oiso for important local gains at various points in preparation for further advance. The Germans are making every effort to hold the British, French and Americans in check on their old lines of 1916-17. A break in the German effort to stabilize their regions appears most probable in the region of Lassigny and in the Roye-Noyon sector. There the French hav etaken Gury, two miles southeast of Lassigny and are pushing forward to the southern edges of the Thiescourt wood and the important high ground to the south of Lassigny. West of the town the French have taken Des Loges. From Gury the French are in position to outflank the hill position south of Lassigny. British Near Peronne. Northwest of Roye the British have pushed eastward from Fouquescourt, one mile west of the Chaulnec-Roye railroad. Deeper penetration here will place both Chauhies and Roye in danger. This movement and the French operations around Lassignk place the right and centre of General Von Hutier's army in a more or less serious predicament which probably will necessitate further withdrawal by him as two of his three bases are insecure. The fall of Lassigny would place the French between Roye and Noyon and in position to outflank both. Along the Somme, the British have pushed forward slightly toward Peronne. North of the river British and American troops are fighting In the suburbs of Bray, while on the south, the British have taken Proyart, four miles south of Bray. West of Chaulnes, heavy fighting continues in the region of Lihons. At some points, especially in the center of the battle front, the heavy allied artillery has been brought up and is shelling the enemy positions, west of the Somme, south of Peronne, heavily. The French are also rushing up guns to break the enemy resistance between Roye and Noyon. The Germans here have depended upon artillery barrages to stop allied attacks. Allied Airmen Active. British, French and American bombers and airmen are harassing the rear of the enemy position unceasingly. During Sunday 107 tons of bombs "were dropped on railway junction, concentration points and other important targets in the enemy area. In aerial activeity, the allies destroyed 44 German machines and put 45 others out of action. Berlin reports the bringing down of 17 allied airplanes. Frankfort, which is east of Rhine and Metz, have been bombed by British squadrons. North of the Vesle, from Fihmes the Germans continue their efforts to dislodge the French and American troops. Two violent counter attaoks were carried out by the enemy Monday, but both were threwn bacR by the Franco-Americans. On the remainder of the front in France, there has been no activity. In Italy the situation is without change, moderate artillery fire and patrol actions only being in progress. Lull in French Sector. WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Monday. Aug. 12 Difficulty in bringing up artillery ammunition over battered roads brought a comparative lull on the French sector today. Infantry activity was confined to local engagements. The German guns have been more active with 'shells of all calibers and with guns. The enemy is now reinforcing his old line which he held from 1914 to 1917 and it will require heavier armament to batter a way through. The Germans have attempted several counter attacks but they were without vigor and gained no success. Aviators continue to play an important, part in harassing the enemy behind his front line. They are obstructing the movement of convoys of ammunition and supplies. Activity in Enemy Lines. It is believed that the stand the Germans are prepared to make in their old trenches, is likely to prove only a temporary expedient to obtain time in which to move back the immense stores of material and to reorganize retirement of the artillery and infantry. There is great activity within the German lines east of Roye and Chaulnes. All the roads are encumbered with wagon trains, indicating that the enemy is still moving am

munition and supplies he had gathered in that region. . A momentary point of stabilization was reached Monday and the French are now at grips with the Girmans on the ground the entrenches and held from the autumn of 1916 until March 1917. The German trenches are still deep enough to afford the enemy the best opportunity he has had of clinging to ground from which he is to be evicted since he left his in the valley of the Avre. Opposed by Barrages. It is necessary for the French to bring up their guns before the attack can. be resumed. The enemy also is busy putting the moss covered trenches Into battle condition so as to enable him to attack for the moment. Consequently there has been a pause in the struggle throughout today. The Germans, however, are showing signs of determination to remain where they are as long as possible or at least until they havoj had time to withdraw their material from the threatened sector. Today the French were in touch with a continuous enemy line and our progress was opposed, not by the usual fire but by regular barrages. The enemy's line of resistance.therefore, apparently has been reached. Nevertheless, the French continued to advance at various points in the line and both bastions of Von Hutier's front at Roye and at the massif of Lassigny are now insecure. Attack American Lines. (By Associated Prenn.1 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OS THE VESLE, Monday, Aug. 12 The Germans directed counter actions against the Franco-American line between Soissons and Rheims today, but without bringing about any change in the situation. Nor did the enemy reveal any intention of an immediate attempt to recover any portion of the territory lost north of the Marne. At no point was A hard blow delivered. The guns on either side, however, were seldom silent and at many places, especially in the neighborhood of Fismette, north of Fismes, where the opposing lines are close, the Germans repeatedly searched the American positions with machine gun fire. It is quite possible that the German crown prince may decide upon a counter attack on a big scale In that sector but such action would necessitate the bringing up of divisions which presumably are badly needed on the British front and at other points. It seems probable he realizes that any attempt to wrest territory here from the troops that have just taken it would be extremely high priced. Drop Bombs on U. S. Position. On the other hand, the Germans are now in such positions along the line south of the Aisne that they can afford to take more time for a retreat over that river, confident that the allies will not extend themselves too much in an effort here at this time. The Germans are fighting hard for time but observers continue to report indications that their plans still include a retirement. The French and Americans, however, have not ceased to exert pressure. German airplanes dropped bombs on the American positions on the Woevre last night without inflicting damage. The enemy has sent over balloons carrying propaganda for both American and French troops.
