The seed .required in Canada is Incidental. Cash demand poor. A number of locals are off the bull side as they figure the advance is liberal. Sentiment favors dip purchase, but trade news remains bearish for long distance. Chicago has practically no corn to sell ahead.

CHINESE TO REPORT TREATIES TO ALLIES (By Associated Press) PEKIN, Feb. 17. Premier Chin Nun Haun, under instructions from President Hsu Shih-Chang yesterday sent a dispatch to the Chinese delegates Instructing them to disclose to the peace conference the Shantung railway agreements with Japan. It is reported that the president is encountering opposition from his Japanese cabinet at every step. The Japanese are said to desire the publicity of. the Shantung agreement in the hope that the conference will recognize its validity, while the Chinese hope that as the agreement has not been ratified and it would give Japan a permanent position in Shantung, the conference will recognize its injustice."

McDowell coming cut in the lead, 3-2. "Had a hard old grind," he .writes, "but a 3-base hit in the last of the eighth tied the score 2-2 in the last of the ninth, and in the finish we had two men walked; man on second stole third, and the batter got a clean hit, and again we walked out victorious. But we earned all we get. We play the Navy again on Friday. All of us are still in trim, at least we think so. We have three Hoosiers on our team. I am one of them and may be that accounts for our luck. Anyway, we bring home the bacon. "We have up a tennis series now with the other four companies here on the rock. The first game is to be Wednesday evening, but I am not playing on the courts myself. "It started raining hard and blowing this morning; the hardest weather that I have witnessed in my fourten months here. ,It looks as if there would be no letup either.

LONDON, Feb. 17. The part played by British forces In feeding and assisting the Inhabitants of the-villages liberated by the British advance from October 1 to November 25 Is revealed In a report by a French mission attached to the British armies in France. The report says the British army had to deal with 700,000 inhabitants of French villages, of whom 400,000 were In Lille, Roubalx and the Turcoing district. This work varied from 18 to 38 days, according to the conditions in different districts. In spite of difficulties of transportation, which on Beveral occasions compelled the British troops to reduce their own rations, the British distributed a minimum quantity of 5,084,000 civilian rations'. At least 400,000 French people whom the Germans had systematically deprived of all means of subsistence were saved from starvation, the report says. . " :,: In many cases the ' British , troops carried food Into the villages under fire, and the untiring, obliging spirit and courage of British drivers in removing civilian refugees in motor lorries while under bombardment, is praised in the report. , . Where there were no doctors in liberated villages the British medical reserves admitted wounded, gassed or sick civilians to ambulance or clearing hospitals, and there was even a mobile field hospital for the exclusive use of civilians. v
