The removal of the hot and dry apprehensions along with the sudden move to correct profiteering in living costs has hurt the corn market. Many of the longs have eo!d out on the belief that it will be difficult to reconstruct a bull line seriously for another week. Thirty-seven out of thirty-nine main cities in the corn belt show rains during the past five days. Forecast mainly fair. Ingli6 two and one-half billion estimate corn feels the talk of $1.75 wheat with the U. S. paying the loss compared with $2.26. It looks as if the season highs have been seen.

WILSON WANTED RESERVATIONS, TELLS WATSON
Fought for Changes in Paris But Fears Danger in Reopening Pact, He Says. WASHINGTON. Aug. 2. President Wilson admitted to Senator Watson in their chat at the White House Friday afternoon that in the Paris peace conference he had fought for some of the reservations now proposed by the United States senate but since he failed he believes that the league covenant should now stand as It Is written because of the dangers that would come if the question should be reopened and other nations be given their chance to press for changes. The president was firm In urging that the senate adopt the covenant without reservations. This was the first meeting of President Wilson and Senator Watson though before Mr. Wilson became president they ran across each other occasionally at college fraternity gatherings, both being members of the Phi Psi fraternity. "We talked for an hour and a quar ter," said Senator Watson after he had left the White House, "and it was a most friendly and from my standpoint at least, a most enjoyable conversation, I found we were not so far apart in our convictions, as the president said he had no objections to meet i of the reservations and, in fact, that he had contended for these very things at the conference table in France. Fears Renegotiations. "His objection to embodying them In the treaty now is that it would offer an excuse, if not an incentive, to other countries to open up the questions which were supposed to be settled at Paris. I asked him. since he had contended for these things at Paris, if he did not think it would strengthen him if the senate should take a stand behind him in these matters, but he was firm in holding that it would be a mistake for the senate to insist on reservations under the circumstances. "I told him very frankly and emphatically that I knew what I was talking about when I stated that the treaty never could be ratified without reservations; that there are thirtynine senators who will never vote for it without reservations, and that the ' ! number Is very likely to be increased ' to forty-two, but in any event will never fall below thirty-nine. " 'If that is so.' said the president, 'we will be all winter thrashing out this matter, and I will have to go back to Paris.' '"Well, Mr. President, I said, 'you had a pretty good time over there, didnt you?' "He smiled, and we parted the best of friends."

Comstock Legion" has been suggested by Mrs. Jennie Elford, 205 North Fifth street, for the naone of the Wayne county organization of the American Legion. In her communication Mrs. Elford states that "he was a man of our own city that fought in the civil war. He was judge of our court and represented the sixth district in congress.

"I give this name to do honor to the boys that have fallen, that we will not forget to pay our respect to the members in the future," writes McBride. "Anthony Wayne Post." is suggested by L. H. Schepman. 242 South Eighth street. "Duty was his guiding star," says Schepman. "His courage that never faltered, and the manner in which he responded to duty regardless of danger, hardship or suffering can be compared with the spirit of the men of the American Legion."

SCHOOL FACULTY OF COUNTY LACKS TWENTY TEACHERS Wayne county high schools at present lack about 20 teachers, to complete the faculty for the coming school year, according to C. O. Williams, county superintendent, who is making every effort to complete the teachers' roster as quickly as possible. Differences between the township trustees and the teachers over the matter of salary is one of the biggest obstacles in the way of completing the faculty, and it is probable that the trustees will have to grant an increase in many cases. City Faculties Fill More difficulty is being experienced in obtaining teachers for the smaller high schools in the county, than for the larger, according to Williams. "There is naturally a greater demand for teaching positions in the city high schools than in the country, due largely to the fact that accom modations for living are easier to find in the cities," Williams said Saturday. No shortage of grade teachers is anticipated by any of the school officials, according to Williams, and although the grade list is not complete, the superintendent expects to have all of the grade teachers hired in the next two weeks.

Franchise League News The board of directors of the In dianapolis Franchise league, at a meet ing Friday afternoon at its head quarters in the Chamber of Commerce protested against the recent action 01 Governor Goodrich in postponing the special session of the legislature, by adopting the following resolution: "Whereas, on June 24,1919, Govern or Goodrich definitely promised the president of the Indianapolis Franchise league and a member of the board of directors that a special ses sion would be called the last week of August or fhe first week in September, and so telegraphed Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the American Woman Suffrage association, the Franchise league protests against the failure of the governor to carry out this promise. "The question of expense need not enter into this, because a one-day session is sufficient for the purpose, and since other states have already called extra sessions of legislatures to ratify the Federal suffrage amendmeLl, th? women of Indiana replore the reactionary policy of this state." A copy of the resolution will be sent to Governor Goodrich. The meeting was presided over by Miss Sara Lauter. president of the Indianapolis Franchise league. CITY MAY HAVE ARTIFICIAL GAS ' Nimrod H.

PEACE OFFERS ARE EXPLAINED IN WHITE BOOK
Conference at Spa Between Wilhelm and Ludendorff Described by Germans. (By Associated Press BERLIN. Aug. 2 A 'White Bookwas published at Weimar today conber 11, 1918, dealing with the peace offer of the German government and the armistice. In a preface the government says it decides upon publication of the document becausje the people desire to know the truth. One of the most Important negotiations dealt with by the White BookIs the conference in which Emperor William took part at Spa on August 14, 1918, at which it was decided that General Ludendorff's declaration .that the war could be won was wrong and that an understanding between Germany and the enemy must be reached. Appealed to U. 8. Field Marshal von Hind enburg and ut. Micnaens, then imperial chancellor, thought it would be possible for the Germans to remain on French territory and thus retain a pledge for the peace negotiations, the documents show. The previously held belief that the attempt to start negotiations must be made through a neutral was altered by this conference. Field Marshal von Hindenburg still was opposed to a direct appeal to the f nemy while sanctioning the Idea of working through a neutral power. Meanwhile Austria had to be consulted because of the special plans she was making. September 21, the book reveals, developed a decision to appeal directly to the United States. New Paris, 0.
