CHICAGO GRAIN.
Chicago. July 17. Higher orices for
corn resulted todiy from the. fact-that
peace rumors had received no con
firmation and that cable advices again
suggested prolonged hostilities. Cold,
wet weather in Illinois and other im
portant States i also was deemed un
favorable elements, of the -crop out
look. Opening quotations which rang
ed from half to 2 7-8c higher, with
September at 1.59 1-2 and December
at 1.10 1-4 to 1.12, were followed by
moderate new upturns before a re
action set in.
Unpromising field advices from Can
ada appeared to give firmness to
wheat. There was no enlargement of
trading. Prices opened unchanged to
l-2c higher at 2.06 July and 1.95 1-2
September, a level from which no va
riation took place for a considerable
time.
Oats rose with corn. Provisions
tended downward owing to weakness

ANTI-SUBMARINE
PEVICE SUBMITTED
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, July 17. Frank J.
Sprague, former president of the
American Institute of Electrical En
gineers, and a member of the naval
consulting board, presented to Secre
tary Daniels today a gee.nral plan of
which he hassheen engaged for some
weeks to cope with the submarine
problem. '
While no details were revealed, it
is understood in a general way that
the proposal is based on a recognition
of the principle that offensive rather
than defensive measures are to be
preferred in combatting submarines.
It is said to provide new types of sea
going patrols, equipped in part with a
new weapon of offense, whose func
tion would be to make certain regions
of the sea' more perilous for the sub
marine than for cargo boats.
Mrs. A. S. Burleson, wife of the
PostmasterrGeneral, has written sev
eral successful plays and dramatic
sketches.

AMERICAN SCHOOLER
HAS GONE TO BOTTOM
(Special to The Dispatch.)
Washington, July 17.-1 News of the
torpedoing of the American schooner,
Childe Harold, in European waters,
June 20, reached the State Depart
ment today in a message from M01F
tevideo announcing the safe arrival
there of the schooner's master and
crew of eight. The survivors were
picked up soon after their vessel went
down bya -steamer bound across the
Atlantic for the Uruguan capitaL
who have not been able to make their
own arrangements, or jvhose people,
if they have any, do not do 50 for
them. The purpose is to assist an ab;
sent soldier1 in the same manner as, a
brother would assist an absent brother
in looking after his financial affairs
and holding his property safe until the
absent brother returns. '
"It is highly desirable that on each
committee there shall be appointed
one banker, one lawyer, and lne good
business man.
"II . is not nteuded tbci.any othter
"luMes shall be imposed bnjtcommitT
tee, but if it finds idle time on its
hand, it can assist in other, lines of
war work. The specific, duties herein
imposed are to be looked after and
attended to as closely and with the
same decree of fidelity as a banker
attends to his- own business. In view
of the far-reaching and important serv
ices of this committee, you are urged
to select your test and most patriotic
c'lizens." V
