snrague Anthoajr Hotel.) Selling the deferred futures or corn hort at tilt discounts under the cash and nearby deliveries la a 'dangerous proposition lo follow too far when there I practically no stock of corn of a delivery grade here and the farmers alt tight on their holding. This was demonstrated the last few week when a number of big local traders and (eastern speculators sold short regardless of price and demoralised the market for a time. It became apparent to some of the stronger local operators last Monday that the market had been well llquldat sd and an Immense short Interest cront ed, and It required comparatively little buying on their part, to'start a general covering movement and It culminated In an advance of HKo from the low point of the week, with the close well toward the top at gains at llo to HHo on May and July, while Feb. gained cents snrl March. tWc There was a spread of 10 cents be ''tween February and May corn at one time during the week, which narrowed owing to heavy covering by shorts In the closing days, and on Thursday May ad vancea 1 cents and at the last there was a difference ot only ie.

Country holders hare not become "Scared because of the break In futures and' have sold comparatively little corn. Feeders are making fair purchases at "ilgher prices than at the terminal markets. Sentiment has switched In favor of the buying aide and the market on the whole Is more of a two sided affair. Oraln Opinions. B.

(By Frank Tijlor, United Frees SUA Corre snondent.) WEIMAR, Saturday, Feb. 15. Hugo Ilaase, radical leader, threw the national assembly into an uproar today when he declared that the workmen's and soldiers' councils would continue in existence until the soclallst democratic centrlst coalition demonstrates its intention to socialise the new republic lie said he doubted that the coalition would carry out this program and threatened new outbreaks unless socialisation is accomplished. Scores of delegates leaned to tneir feet and clamored for recognition. Others Joined in a chorus of denunciation of llaase's statement without the formality of obtaining recognition from Chairman Fehenbach.

Or der was Anally restored, but other outbursts oocurred as Ilaase con tinued his speech. When Ilaase openly accused the Ebert Scheldemann government of murdering Karl Llebknecht a riot almost ensued. Practically every delegate except the radicals threatend to oust Ilaase and his followers from the assembly. Ilaase waited calmly until the members quieted again, then resumed Ills attack on the government aa a whole and every one calmed with It individually. Referring again to the Spartacans, he admitted they had received money from Russia.

But he said, this money was used for buying food for their wives and children, and not for fighting. Disappointment was expressed regarding llaase's speech as he was expected to Introduce a program for constructive legislation. Finance Minister Schiller, who preceded Ilaase, said "that property conception In Oetmany must change completely" and that "hereafter In dividuals must regard themselves not aa owners, brjt merely as VJ "aenuanr S1 financial situation Is desperate and our mastery of it will depend entirely upon the condition In which the entente leaves us." said scMrrirV musirwaircTJoiijniiTfr til they declds.

Attention of the delegates to the peace conference will focus on Russia today, the supreme council having decided that as the time allowed for accepting an Invitation to the I'rlnklpo conference has expired, something else must be done.

It has been suggested. that tne Invitation be renewed. If the supreme council accepts this proposition. It probably will not Insist that the conference be held at I'rlnklpo Island. It Is scarcely probable special committees of the peace conference which are studying questions confided to them will be able to submit reports to the full conference this week, but It Is hoped that some of tnese reports will be ready for re vision by the supreme council, which Is still acting as a medium between the commissions and the conference, The committee of the Inter allied women suffrage congress which haa been Interviewing states men in search or support for Presi dent Wilson's plan to give women representation In the conference and the league of nations has achieved a great success, in the estimation of Its members.

(By Amclsttd PreeO PARIS. SUNDAY, Feb.

11. Premier Borden's speech here last night. In which he criticised the delay In consummating peace while the troopH are anxious to return to their homes, has made an undoubted Impression here. The same view Is said to be taken by some Americans, While the British are not indifferent to the demands of the territorial contingents, which are supported by the labor element of England. Stephen PIchon, In discussing obstacles, to an immediate peace during a talk with newspaper correspondents today, said there were many reasons why the treaty could not be signed at once even though the league of nations project was out of the way.

Many Issues that will form the basts of peace, he said, were being carefully studied by them Is the disposition of many of the fragments Into vthlch the former Austrian empire had been divided, and another IS the treatment to be accorded Bulgaria. The French people, he added, wanted peace, but they realise, at the same time, the danger ot nreolp lttle and iiriaatlstactoxy aolutlongk lls agreed with t'remier uorden that there should be no unnecessary delay, bufrdld not share his opinion that time had been wasted at the conference. A full discussion of all questions must be permitted so that settlements which might be decided upon Would be unanimous. M. PIchon said there was no obstacle to recognition being extended the new (lennan government, but added that the Germans must be made to realise they have been beaten, a fact, he said, of which great numbers of them do not seem io be aware.

The new boundaries ot Germany, he remarked, would be up for considera tion within a few days. RAKER'S ENTIRE MACHINE FAILED (Continued From Page One.) believe lhat the teoling of hatred Redeemer Lutheran church, followed army by. enlisted men, was general. One man slated that the "exclusive story" was a wonderful effort In putting the English languagqon the rack of loiture. Donahue stated Jloniluy morning, that during his two years In the ser vice he had never been "treated as a dog by a superior officer and harshly unU gruffly yelled at like cattle, with no understanding" and could not recall an Instance where he had seen any other enlisted man accorded this treatment.

Ha made an absolute denial of the Improbable story as told In this "wonderful story of merit and worth" about a man Jumping over board In the middle of the night rather "choosing a watery grave to life In the trenches." This Improbable yarn was as follows; "I can remember one Instance, and there Is no question of fact but that It was only ono out of a hundred times that this very thing had occurred, for when they would call the roll after landing, and the number of missing men would bear out this statement. The instance that I speak of happened one night while out to sea about a week, I was awakened about the middle of the night by hearing a splash, and as 1 was bunked near a port hole. I arose and looked out. and I saw a young fellow, with whom I Had eaten supper, struggling In the water, I immediately recognised him but was powerless to aid him. and the roaring waves, with all their fury: for It was a bad night out, soon swallowed him.

I could scarcely realise that this unfortunate preferred a Watery grave to the trenches, but since, I have otten thought how lucky he Was." Corporal Donahue said that the only thing that he could recall that he had told contributor Smith About a man sinking while out at sea, waa an occasion when a sea burial had taken place. He said there was a lot of chance of "hearing; a splash" and recognizing a friend perishing In the waves in the middle or the nignt. The story told that Corporal Donahue saw "this unfortunate swallowed by the roaring waves, will all thelr fury, for it was a bad plght." A portion of the story relating oi the terrible cruelty of the American officers to their mien, and of their being rewarded by being shot by their own men on the field ot battle, for their cruelty. Is as follows: "But in some Instances the boys would be worn out and hardly able to move, after lying upon the damp and muddy ground for an hour after being marched for a number of miles and with the weather hot as the Sahara desert at noon. It would almost paralyze him, while the officer seeing his men.

or a few, lagging back would shout: "What's the matter with you. are you tired of war?" "And what would the answer be? The answer Is not promlematlcal. He by burial in Llndenwood cemetery, rvieerjerg. Mrs. Paul M.
