; WAGNER GRAIN WETTER CHICAGO. Dec. 26 Corn market weakened by railroads to rush grain to make grain the great right of way. This ia accepted as sign that cars will be accepted for lengthy corn movement. If cars arrive In bulk and everything runs smooth, there should be a slow decline to around $1.25 for May corn. Oats feels the corn Influence. Cash corn 1 to 4 lower, oats steady to one cent lower. The trouble is to create cash corn buying in advance of larger corn receipts. CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E.

Mrs. Seymour is. being flooded with letters from men in all parts of the United States who claim they are lonely and need a companion preferably one of the 5,000 British women who, Mrs. Seymour recently announced, were waiting to come to this country to find positions by which they could support themselves. The men have written in, giving a description of themselves, their habits, height, complexion, the financial status, references, and occupations, and describing the sort of wife they want, even to the color of her hair and eyes, her weight, and general appearance. With this information on hand they desire Mrs. Seymour to select a wife for them and put them in communication with her, evidently under the impression, Mrs. Seymour says, that these British women are coming over for no other purpose in the world than to find husbands.

To Austrians buying with Austrians money shoes are $100 a pair suits $500. "The shop windows were full but of vinegar and mustard; there were no potatoes, no milk. Butter was $14 a pound to the Austrian. To be sure they cook food butter than any other people in the world, but if it can not be purchased, that does very little good. The stores are luxurious, perhaps, but not with underwear. The theaters are starting at 4 and closing at 7, many times they had to stop altogether." Die of Malnutrition. "Signs of famine such as might be seen in India are not seen in Austria. The people are not dying on the streets, but slowly day by day of malnutrition. The death rate, he said, has increased tremendously in the past year, especially among babies. Formerly Vienna got 900,000 liters of milk a dsy, now they are getting less

than 70,000 liters and transportation facilities are so poor that much of it will sour , on the way.. Only babies under a year old are permitted to have milk and then there is not nearly enough to go around. "Seventy-five per cent of the babies up to fivd years old . have rickets. There is a tremendous Increaso in tuberculosis. Hospitals were closed last October.Regarding thaTellef work which Is being done in 'Vienna, Mr. Nicholson said: "The allied countries have had a food commission in Vienna. It acted only as a middle man, however, selling the food at market prices. I have grave doubts as to Its good, because of the high prices at which the food was sold. Then the allies have sent a coal commission, which, though it has succeeded in transporting a considerable amount of coal, has sold it at almost prohibitive prices. Now both commlsion3 have been withdrawn and have been replaced with a reparation committee sent out by

the peaco conference at Paris, in re ality to collect indemnity, which of course is impossible at presnL Proposes a Loan. Increasing reports in the English, French and American newspapers, make me feel certain that If America would agree to loan money, England would Join her. It is out of tho ques tion to think that France with her present economic condition can do anything. If this help is promised, it will really mean the loaning of money on a large scale through syndicate banks. England's pounds are going down so fast she will not do it alone. "The American Relief association, headed by Herbert Hoover, is feeding 3,000,000 people with ono hot meal a day In eastern and central Europe. Practically the only other agency at work in Astrla is the American and English Friends Service commlhslon. The Friends have started to help the hospitals first, furnishing them with cocoa, milk and cod liver oil six teen car loads of medical supplies re cently have been sent them from the Red Cross in Paris. Friends Hire Tailors. "Tailors are being employed by the Friends and paid for their labor; then the clothes are sold at the before-the-war Prices It is found better to sell cheaply than to give them away, one serious mistake in Serbia being the unlimited relief agencies which have given broadcast perplexing the people. "A maximum price was fixed on milk before the war; it has been kept but as a result the peasants have found it more profitable to feed the milk to their hogs and sell the pork. The Friends' service committee has arranged to pay the difference between the production cost and selling price. "Americans and Englishmen are very popular in Austria. President Wilson is, however, quite unpopular now. They treat him as a joke. Herbert Hoover has taken his place as the most popular American." "Budapest, Hungary, has practically the same situation as Vienna economically however, it is more rich in agricultural products, even though there is not a normal amount of food. While I was there the Roumanians occupied the city and practically stifled all active life. Now they are out the situation will right Itself more easily, I think." Friends' Position. One of the main positions the Society of Friends is taking, Mr. Nicholson explained, is in attempting to establish better feelings between the countries which are suffering. Be cause they are interdependent, one having coal, another grain and the like, this is a serious obstacle. "Poland has a much greater variety of needs than any other country. In many ways conditions are much more terrible because it is not an old empire but an infant trying to support itself and carry on warfare. They feel some way or other that if they are to receive the support of the western nations they must continue" their warfare against the Bolsheviks. "Poland - Is tremendously big, much larger than people imagine. It received considerable territory through the peace conference, and is acquiring more through war. Right now when she should be getting her nation together, she is engaging in intrigue and is unable to care for even the purely Polish part of her nation. Visits Poland. "I went into the interior of Poland in a special Red Cross car. We were i stopped in one place for two days and nights while they used our engine to haul ammunition to the front. That about describes the country's effic iency at present. Coming back. I came on a regular train; it was 24 hours late starting and 60 hours late before It arrived "I went back through Germany and topped off in Berlin for three days They are still eating carrots there and conditions are bad, but not so severe as in Austria. I cannot see how Germany will be able to pay her indemnities at least as fast as gome Frenchmen would have her. . Our relief work is just starting there. It will probably take several million dollars a year to carry on the proposed work, if we only feed 200,000 starving babies. We shall give the food through special stations having a supply station. In Vienna they are using the former archduke's palace, I noticed the former emporer of Germany's palace was pretty vacant so we might use that in Berlin!" Mr. Nicholson said that all foreign relief agencies believe that it is time for them to move out of France and let her take over her own work now that she is on her feet. Friends will close their work the first of next March, he said. "We have not met with rebuff, but feel keenly that the time has come to leave the situation to the French government." Ship Stork Drops Babe and $2,000 NEW YORK, Dec. 26. An interesting event during the voyage of the Mauretania. which arrived yesterday, was the birth of a daughter in the sterrage to Mr. and Mrs. Astley of London. As soon as the other passengers heard the news, a purse of more than $700 was raised for tho Christmas baby. A Mr. Klenningsmith, representing an automobile concern, told tho parents if they named the baby after him he would give the child an automobile, j They named the little one Frances Klenningsmith Astley, and an order for an automobile was given the parents. The parents then raffled off the machine nnfl raised $1,301.

Mllburn Savior, for Tears a conten-fthan

der for the liahtwelaht championship of the world, has hung up his gloves for all time. He was knocked out In La couple of rounds by Jack Perry re-

cently and decided that It was time toMnterclnb team matches, of the Metro-

cease his serious efforts in the roped arena. He never was in the fight and was floored seven times before his seconds tossed In the towel. After the bout Baylor admitted hist1 inability to do what countless hundreds of other fighters have unsuccessfully attempted to do, defy Father Time. He announced he was through and would return to Indianapolis to devote himself entirely to the railroad busi ness, which line he adopted several years ago. "Youth is the thing in the mitt sport," sighed Saylor, "and there is no use to deny it- I felt good, trained well and thought I was as good as ever, but the old staying qualities are not there. The slightest rap on the jaw sets my brain to buzzing now, when I used to be able to shake off kayo punches. I'm through." Few lightweights in the history of fistlana have had more active or brilliant careers than Mllburn Saylor. Never a champion, but always a willing worker, the Hoosler lad has fought in nearly every city in this country as well as Australia, and when in bis prime always gave a good account of himself no matter whether victory or defeat rested on his banner. For nearly fifteen years he bjas been before fistic fans, and for more than halt of that time he has been recognized as a top-notcher. He has de fied Father Time for the last five years, but his showing against the young Pittsburg scrapper shows conclusively he Is through and a continuance In the mitt sport Is but courting probable disaster.
