Separate Peace “An Eternal Shame.” “As long as the German proletariat marches with Emperor William,” said the speaker, “our position is clear. Should we now stretch a fraternal hand toward the peoples of Central Europe to eonclude a separate peace, it would be an eternal shame which would lead inevitably to the downfall and annihila- tion of Rugsia. “We will not seek to break our en- gagements with our allies. On the con- trary, we will do our utmost that the allegiance arranged by the bourgeoisie shall be more solidly cemented by the fraternal union of the allied democra- cies.”’ Albert Thomas, French Minister of Munitions, was received Saturday aftcr- noon by the Executive Committee of the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers’ dele- gates and invited to explain his point of view on the present political situa- tion on the war and on the actions of in- ternational Socialism. In a speech which lasted more than two hours, Thomas indicated what French public opinion expected from New Russia. He said France was at times uneasy regarding the assistance ‘wiuch Russia might lend. The hopes of the French democracy were that the New Russia would help France unre- servedly. Socialists Should Announce Stand. Thomas then analyzed the mistakes fyvench Socialists might make regarding the ideas of Russian Socialists, and vice versa. It was necessary, he said, to tind bases and conditions on which com- mon action could be taken. He explained why the majority of French Socialists considered it impossible to meet the majority of German Socialists in a conference which would have been convoked without preliminary recogni- tion of common principles. He recog- nized, nevertheless, he declared. that it was desirable that the Socialists of all countries should clearly formulate their principles. Thomas added, however, that this ef- fort must not be allowed to become the eecasion of new German intrigue. In this connection he recalled the intrigues cf the German Socialists during the war and said that after the United States had entered the war and after the revo- lution in Russia, the Western Socialists could not consent to discuss the demo- cratic aims of the war unless they were convinced that the war would be vigor- ously prosecuted, for the war aims of international democracy never would be recognized by Prussian militarism. To realize democratic ideas, the French Minister said, all must work together to assure the defeat of Germany. e The speech was listened to with inter- est and with growing sympathy as it proceeded, Dented That Allies Wanted Japan to Put ure on Russia. LONDON, May 14.—Sir George Buch- anan, British Ambassador to Russia, according to a Reuter dispatch from Petrograd, has issued a _ categorical denial that the entente ever con- templated applying to Japan to exercise pressure of the natural course of events in Russia.

It was further decided that for a period of two days no pur- chases of wheat whatever will be per- mitted, except to liquidate existing con- tracts. “The latter action automatically de- bars any individual, firm, corporation or Government from bidding up the price of wheat. The directors further restricted the operation in wheat by confining those dealers desiring to close existing contracts to a maximum price which ‘is based on Saturday’s close. “The action of the board has been taken after consultation with the accred- ited representatives of the allied Govern- ments. Likewise, every step followed by us has been in co-operation with this Government.”’ Resolutions by Béard. The resolutions of the directors were as follows: ‘“‘Resolved—From the opening of the market on Monday, May 14, 1917, 9:30 a. m., to the close of the market Tuesday, May 15, 1:15 p. m., members of this board shall confine all trades in con- tract gradss of wheat for future deliv- ery in regular elevators to transactions for July and September delivery. No member shall make any purchases of wheat during the period stated, except in liquidating of existing contracts. Members may enter into contracts of sale without limitation, except as to price as hereafter stated. No contracts for July delivery shall be entered into at a price in excess of $2:75 per bushel; no contracts for September shal! be en- tered into at a price in excess of $2.45 per bushel. “Be it resolved, That any member trading in violation of the foregoing shall be deemed to have committed a grave offense against the name of the association.’’ The directors also prohibited trading in indemnities, known also as ‘‘bids and of- fers,’ and years ago more commonly as “puts and calls."’ This order reads as follows: “All transactions in indemnities on May corn, May oats and all deliveries of wheat expiring today are hereby de- clared null and void and the buyer sha!) refund to the seller the purchase price of the indemnities, and furthermore all trading in indemnities in wheat, uniil further notice, is discontinued.” Traders Bewildered. Secretary Merrill of the board read the various resolutions in the great trading hall from the visitors’ gallery. It was a rather bewildered lot of trad- ers who heard him deliver the mandates which took the props from under the routine of their business lives. He con- cluded just a moment before the gong announced the resumption of trading. The traders flocked into their pits and for a few moments trading exhibited ite normal aspect of vociferation and activity. It was but the flash accom- panying the evening-up of trades under the order, and in a few minutes prac- tically no business was being trans- acted. July wheat slumped an extreme l2 cents to $2.63, and then reacted to $2.70; September fell off 9 cents to $2.37 and recovered to $2.40. Much of the business suppressed in wheat was transferred to the corn and oats pits, where sharp udvances were scored. July corn rose T%c to $1.58; September llc to $1.63%.° In eats July rose 6\c to 73'@c, and Se: tem- ber 6c to 63c. May Corn #1.6114,. A committee fixed the settlement price of May corn at $1.6l4% and May oats at 738% cents, the closing figures of Sat- urday. Charlies B. Pierce. chairman of the committee, came straight from the meet- ing to the big brokerage house of which he is president, walked to the black- board, on which a score of speculators were watching quotations, and wrote: “Patriots who are long of wheat should sell same at once.’’ The elimination of trading in futures, a made permanent, would, it is said. affect grain commission houses very gravely. Many of them are under heavy expenses, particularly for thousands of miles of leased wires, and the cessation of trading for even a day is expensive. On the otMfer hand, it was said in the street that the mandatory closing of certain contracts at a fixed maximum price will clear the atmosphere for some of them where the big advance of Sat- urday wiped out the margins of clients who, tempted by the high price, were short of the market. A speculator who has a reputation for coo) daring showed a letter from a smal! a 3 banker in which the latter naively ; | suggested that the big man take $500! for him and let it grow along with his own larger pile. The recipient of the letter, who has not taken a trade since War was declared, sent a scathing re- ply. This trader asserted that while trading in futures in ordinary times is a necessary and desirable element of crops, in the present abnormal situation speculation should be eliminated. Thomson & McKinnon sent the fol- lowing notice to customers and branch houses: ‘Everything should be done under existing conditions to suppress specula- tion. With this in view may we ask, please, that you do not send us buying orders in wheat, corn, oats or provisions, unless it be to adjust open contracts. The time has arrived when no man should buy a commodity except as it is required for immediate consumption.” Conference With Allied Agents. Allen G. Anderson, chairman of the British Whéat Commission ard vice chairman of the British Food Commis- sion, and Herbert G. Robson, chief grain buyer for the allied Governments, con- ferred with the officers of the Chicago board yesterday. Anderson and Robson left later in the day for New York. Most of the leading Chicago operators admit that the wheat markets of this country, and in fact of the world, are in such critical condition that the n:ost drastic actions are necessary on the part of exchange authorities to keep their marketing machinery in good working order. “There is plenty of wheat, inability to get it to points where it is most needed being the sole problem,”’ a leading grain dealer said today. He asserted that today there is in Chi- cago about 500,000 bushels of wheat be- sides about 600,000 bushels owned by Chi- cago millers. In addition, he gaid, there is about 100,000,000 bushels elsewhere in the United States and in Canada, an- other 100,000,000 in Australia, and prob- ably as much in India, with two seasons’ crops unexported in Russia—probably 700,000,000 bushels, deducting for what may have spoiled. “Plenty of Grain in U. 8.” “There is plenty of grain in the coun- try te carry us through,’’ said Griffin. “If it were not for this hysteria, this wild frenzy that has seized America and the allied Governments—the Whole world —there would be no such prices paid for wheat. There is plenty of wheat if it could be distributed with calm, clear thought and without excitement. Thera is too much wild advice by amateurs who know nothing about grain or pro- duction.’’ Kansas City Board of Trade Sus-. pends Trading Temporarily. KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 14,—Di- rectors of the Kansas City Board of Trade voted today to take action in suspending trading temporarily Similar to that of the Chicago grain exchange. Minneapolis Suspends Trading: Ali Settlements Saturday Prices, MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May 14.—The directors of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce this afternoon decided to sus- pend trading in futures until further no- tice, Open trades will be settled at prices which obtained at Saturday's close. oe CANADIAN WHEAT CROP SHORT OTTAWA, May 14.—A serious shortage in the winter wheat crop of Canada is revealed by a report of the census and statistics office made public today. The acreage estimated.to have been sown last fall was 813,400, and the estimated destruction through winter killing was 187,000 acyes, or 23 per cent, leaving 63%,- 400 acres to be harvested. The estimated condition of the crop April 30 was 69 per cent, which is lower than in any ®@revious year since 199 at that date. FORMER U; S.

Townsend Will Ask for Use of New City Park South of Waterworks. The new city park, south of the wa- terworks, ‘probably will be the drill ground of the new Second Reserve Engi- neer Regiment, now being formed in Bt. Louis for immediate service in building and repairing military railroads in France. Col. Curtis McD. Townsend, who is re- cruiting the new regiment and is to command it, said today that he would apply to the city for the use of the new park. Members of the regiment are to sleep in steamboats along the _ river front, the boats being those used in the Government river improvement work. The members of the engineer regi- ment, Col. Townsend said, will be trained chiefly in military discipline and duty during the stay in camp. The man. ual of arms and marching will be thor- oughiy taught, and members will be made efficient soldiers, although their chief work is to be of a nonmilitary character. The men will be uniformed in a man- uer suitable to their work, the uniforme probably including overalls, jumvers ared cap. The officers will wear khaki. Nearly 1000 applications have been re- ceived, Col. Townsend said, but there is still room for recruits, as some of thoss who have applied will probably fal) tn the physical examination. The regiment is to have 1035 men and & officers, and is to be in six companies. Recruiting ‘sz in progress at room 428 Federal Building, and railroad men of all branches of service are wanted. A second list of civil engineers who will be sent to Fort Riley for training as commanding officers in the engineer- ing branch of the service, but not nec- essarily in connection with Col.

CHICAGO, May 14.—Marshall Field III has been accepted by his fellow members of the headquarters troop of the First Tllinols calvary. “He'll do!” is their verdict. Although he is one of the richest young men in America the general verdict is he is a “real person!” Trooper Field's popularity is due to his democracy. Because of his horsemanship he has been made an inatructor at the North Side Armory.

CHANCELLOR ATTACKED Recent Events, However, Seem to Strengthen His. Position; Coming RDectars sens. LONDON, May 14.—Dr. von Bethmann-| Hollweg, the German Chancellor, is back in Berlin, after having had luncheon yesterday with Emperor Charles and Empress Zita at Vienna and having dined with Count Czsernin, the Foreign Minister. A Vienna dispatch says the discussion which the Chancellor started with Count Czernin soon will be contin- ued in Berlin. An Associated Press dispatch from Berlin says events of the last twe days indicate that the Chancellor’s position continues to be absolutely secure. The Chancellor returned from a hur- ried visit to great headquarters Satur- day morning, and left Berlin the same night for Vienna, after having spent the day in conferring with the Reichstag party leaders with respect to the inter- pellations on Germany's war aims. Both his visit to great headquarters and his trip to the Austrian capital were made in connection with the Chancel- lor’s declaratian covering the war aims, which he will submit to the Reichstag tomorrow. Both the Government and the middle- road parties are desirous of avoiding an extensive or acrimonious debate, and representatives of the latter will uni vc in a great statement or present inde- pendent colnciding declarations. Ir is contended that the Chancello- holds enough strong cards in the present military situation, the success of the U-boats, the record sixth war .oan and the improvement in the food situation, to beat off his opponents, who have been at his heels for months past Hollweg Credited With Saying His Ouster Would Elevate Bernstorff. COPENHAGEN, May 14.—The latest direct advices received here from Berlin confirm the impression that a vigorous campaign is being waged to bring about the downfall of Dr. von Bethmann-Holl- weg, the Imperial Chancelor. The movement has shown such strength that there was much specula- tion, when the news of the Chancellor's trip to headquarters became known Fri- day, whether he would return as Chan- cellor or as a private individual. The friends of Dr. von Bethmann-Holl- weg, however, were absolutely sure that the Chancellor still possessed the full confidence of the Emperor, notwith- standing the efforts of pan-Germans and Conservatives to harrass him on the question of electoral reforms, and par- ticularly on his failure to express a stern -‘non-possumus’’ on the proposal of the Reichstag constitutional commit- tee to change the method of the ap- pointment of army and navy officers, on the ground that it was undermining the throne and endangering the Hohen- zollern dynasty, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg did not take the movement against him alto- gether lightly and was credited with the remark that, if his opponents drove him out, they would only put Count von Bernstorff, former Ambassador to the United States, in his place. — Zimmermann’s Position Shaky. The position of Dr. Alfred Zimmer- mann, Vice Chancellor and Foreign Sec- retary, is described also as shaky, the Mexican affair having undermined the confidence of the Reichstag and of his progressive sponsors in his. qualifica- tions for the post of Chancellor. But it is difficult to judge the amount of truth behind this report and that of Count von Bernstorff’s candidacy. The pan-German Hamburger Nach- richten, discussing rumors concerning Pr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, says the Bethmannites expected the Chancellor to return from headquarters, not only with a renewed expression of the Em- peror’s confidence, but with some tangi- ble and extraordinary proof of it—ap- parently some new title. The Chancellor himself evidently is determined to persist in his policy of putting off until the morrow a state- ment of his policy on the question of internal reforms and the definition of Germany's peace aims and apparently will be able to continue this policy. Additional Representations. The only immediate result of reforms by the Government wil] be a measure giving some slight additional represen- tation to.a number of the great urban industrial Reichstag districts, which un- der Germany's economic development in the last 40 vears have developed popu- lations 10 to 15 times greater than are specified in the Constitution as the unit of representation. Holiweg Said to Have Prevented Nul- lification of Reform Pians by Kaieer. THE HAGUE, May 14—The annexa- tionist press of Berlin suggests that the Chancellor made his recent trip to army headquarters to offer his re- cignation, in view of his impossible position between the batteries of the conservative and Socialists. The Ta- geblatt says that if anything of the sort happened the resignation was not accepted. According to the story current in Reichstag circles, what happened was this: The Kaiser, junkers and mill- tarists were alarmed by the radically democratic recommendations of the Reichstag Committee on Constitutional Reforms, Hindenburg being especially infuriated by the attemptof the commit- tee to gain some pariiamentary control of the army and navy. Hence the Kaiser proposed to nullify all the com- mittee’s proposals by closing the ses- sion of the Reichstag instead of merely adjourning the House. This would mean that all the committees work of the House would have to be done ever in a new session, and thus the reactiona- OT SO AO ae a FULL PERSONNEL OF ST.LOUIS BASE HOSPITAL CHOSEN Washington University Unit, Known as No. 21 Has 28 Offi- cers, 141 Men, 65 Nurses. RECRUITING IS CLOSED Miss Julia C. Stimson -Is Chief Nurse and Dr. F. T. Murphy Has Major’s Commission.

TN ene PUT COLOR IN YOUR CHEEKS There is no successful imitation of the glow of health. Rich, red blood showing through translucent skin means not only beau- ty but health. When your color fades you will find that your heart palpi- tates on slight exertion, such as ¢limb- ing stairs, and that your breath is short and you lack ambition. All these things are symptoms of an anemic condition, of thin blood. Try building up the blood with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. Eat nourishing food, exercise a little the open air daily and wateh the color return to cheeks and lips. If you are below your normal weight should take on one or two a week under this treatment.

PARIS, May l4.—Crawlimg across No Man's Land, a party of Frgnch troops worked its way a night og two ago up to the barbed wire in front of the Gere man trenches and hung hundreds of cop- jes of President Wilson's address to Congress, printed in the German, on the stakes and along the wire. The French infantrymen had obtained several bundles of the leaflets from the French escadrille stationed near Guar- antee. They made the creeping trip to the enemy trenches despite occasional star shells which illuminated the space between the opposing trench lines, and, without rattling the warning tin cans which both sides place on the stakes and wires to signal the aproach of a foe. At daybreak when Germans saw the leaflets they commenced firing at them. The French hoisted signs over their | trenches saying: “‘We won't fire while you collect the messages."" Thereupon the Germans came over the parapet and collected the leaflets. BRAZIL TO SEND MISSION TO U. &. Reported That Advocate of War With Germany Will Be Ite Heed.
