Chicago, May 5. Wheat prices to
day showed aj tendency -to advance.
Much nervousness continued to be
shown regarding developments at
Washington as to government control
of prices. Opening quotations, which
ranged from one cent off to 2 l-2c up
with Max-2.75 and July at .2.20 to 2.21,
were followed by a decided general up
turn and then a moderate reaction.
'Corn was governed almost entirely
by wheat. Trade was very small. Af
ter opening unchanged to l-2c lower
the market hardened all around:
.Oats showed fJtttteT independence.
Demand was chiefly for May deliv-
ery.

In the late dealings in wheat re
ports of liberal concessions by the
British government at Winnipeg
helped the bull side of the market
here. The close was unsettled at 3 1-4
to 6 cents net advance with May at
2.78 1-2 and July at, 2.24 to 2.24 1-2.
Later profit-taking by holders eased
the Corn market, but the effect failed
to last. The close was steady at 1-2

Read at Annual 4 Meeting of
North Carolina Society of
Colonial Dames.
Following is the nistorian's report
read at the annual meeting of the
North .Carolina aocietyvof Colonial
Dames of America, held on Wednes
day:
"Mme. President -and Ladies:
"As our year's work draws to a
close we assemble with serimiR
thoughts and a depth of understand-!
ing called forth by our country hav
ing been drawn into the great Euro
pean cataclysm; for while, during the!
past two years ana a half, our sym
pathy has not been cold to the rela
tion of distant misery or our hands
idle in the relief of its suffering:, flip
total realization of the world catas-'
trophe is more poignant now that
the dread of the battlefield is upon
us. . ,
"While the coming year may bring
forth greater results in our patriotic!
efforts, if we consider "the achieve-
ments of the past year we will find a'
record which we, the North Carolina
Society of the Colonial Dames, may
point to with the greatest pride. To
begin with, let us take the formation
of a chapter of the National Special
Aid Society and its subsequent re
sults. The unit was formed by seven
teen members of the North Carolina
Society of the Colonial Dames of
America and when it was firmly es
tablished by the Dames the member
ship was enlarged and no longer con
fined to members of our society, and
now there are over 100 women who
are taking courses through this chap
ter which, if pursued, will fit them
for active service in case of emer
gency. Beside the instructive lessons
in first aid, telegraphy, signaling, etc.,
the National Special Aid has recom
mended the cultivation of gardens
for greater food production and in
addition has through our newspapers
stirred the patriotism of the citizens
of Wilmington. Also it has enabled
Miss Jean Wood, to whom we owe
so much in this work, to secure mil
itary training for the boys of the
High school, and instruction in war
relief work for the girls. The whole
movement is one for preparedness;
and constructive patriotism and one
of its most striking accomplishments
' iviu rtegisier, compiled uy
miss wooa. lnis directory, gotten
up to enlist the sympathy of wom
en in every quarter, irrespective of
age or condition, in a thoroughly
comprehensive way divides the town
into sections and the sections into
districts. It contains the names of
1,700 women who have volunteered
their services for war relief work,
and who through a penny campaign
donate a penny a week thereby accru
ing a sum for relief work during the
war. ' This ""monetary -contribution
seems small, but in the aggregate will
amount to hundreds of dollars or
more. This National Special Aid
chapter has done a fine service which
we hope will bear still greater
fruits. On the register are the
names of practically every member
of the Colonial Dames society in
Wilmington.
"And now, let us turn to the
es-
i Pcial work of the Buncombe County
Committee, for splendid was the
news that came to us, telling that
this committee under the able man
agement of Mrs. Thomas Settle, had
raised a sum of $630 by the exhibi
tion of American ambulance pictures,
and by other means had increased
the fund to $1,085.95. With $1,000 of
this the committee purchased an am
bulance for the American Ambulance
Field Service and Aviation Corps in
France. 'Asheville, N. C.,' was the
inscription on one side of the ambu
lance and on the other, 'Presented by
the Buncombe County Committee of
the North Carolina Society of the
Colonial Dames of America.' It is
certainly a 'fait accompli' of which
they should be exceedingly proud. In
no other instance has a county com
mittee or even the society as a whole,
in so short a time raised such a sum
of .money. Mrs. Settle and her com
mittee deserve the congratulations of
the entire society.
"From exhibitions of these same
American ambulance pictures our
society in Wilmington realized $164.05,
which was contributed to the Ameri
can Ambulance Field Service Fund.
"To the Fund for French Orphans
the society sent $860.
"It is of interest to learn that a
list of the work done by the society
for our allies' cause in Europe is to
be sent to an archivist in Paris and
the names of the officers of the North
Carolina Society of the Colonial
Dames of America and those in
charge of our relief work will go with
others 'to form the archives of the
deeds accomplished by the Ameri
cans for the Allies during the great
war.'
"The North Carolina Society, with
some of its county committees, has
placed itself on record as protesting
against the deportation of the Bel
gians. This protest was published in
the papers and copies sent to the of
ficers of the National Society and to
the presidents of the corporate socie
ties. "In another instance did the North
Carolina Society take a firm stand,
refer to the telegram of approval"
i I a o TTTI1
and support senx to irresioeni wn
son when he appeared before Con
gress on the subject of armed neu
trality. "Having described in detail the
line of work undertaken by our so
ciety during the year you will per
ceive tha't the usual activities such
as marking historic spots, placing
tablets, and so on have been eclipsed
by the war situation. However, we
find that the work of preserving rec
ords and wills found in the county
court houses is still going on, and
while the $150 annually awarded to
the University of North Carolina for
f prize essays has been temporarily re
called, the sum is. being laid aside tor
the future publication of the Janet
Sctiaw Diary this,' too, having been
interfered with ; by the war. -.
"Ttf the - Plymouth -'Rock Memorial
Important Conference of Brit
ish and French Officers in
Paris.
(By United PrpsR.1
Paris, . May 5. What later develop-
ments may prove one of the war's
most important developments is be
ing held here between governmental,
army and navy chiefs of England and
France. The conference has been in
progres for four days.
The conference most probably is
called to deal with American aid to
England and France and with its co
ordinate problem, the submarine war.
By this time the British and French
missions have had sufficient time in
which to make report to-their respect
ive governments on American plans
anrt a complete systematic scheme of
co-operation of England, France and
America is probably being worked
out in Paris.
An interview which Lord Northcliffe
gave to the United Press Thursday
stated his belief that England would
publish exact figures on submarine
losses "as soon as England's allies
could be . communicated with."
person was levied tor the past year,
the amount being enlarged by indi
vidual donations, including. $25 from
the Forsythe county committee.
"From several of the county com
mittees we hear that their members
are interested in war relief work.
Wake county committee is also writ
ing a history .of Wake county which
is to be a memorial to their former
chairman, Mrs. A. B. Andrews. Bun
combe county committee is endeav-
oring to have Colonial literature that
is published in the society's annual1,
minutes read in the public schools
of Asheville.
"Before closing just a word as to
the membership of the society. The
treasurer apprises us of the, fact that
-while we have taken in a number of
new members we have lost the same
number by transfers So while in
1916 the capitation tax was paid on
333 members, the capitation tax for
1917 was for 333 members also.
"Lest we seem inhospitable to our
visiting Dames at the annual meeting
let us explain that the amount usual
ly expended for the pleasure of our
luncheon this year is to go towards
any war relief work that the Na
tional Society may have .decided
upon at . the last executive meeting.
"Should the crisis of our country
become more tense let us view the
work accomplished by the society
during the past year, which should
inspire us to greater efforts and en
courage us to do our part in the
strife to perpetuate the principles so
dear to the hearts of our forefathers
and in memory of whose heroism this
society exists. In any work under
taken we may feel that our president
and leader, Mrs. Alfred M. Waddell,
with-her keen -mind and fearless ini
tiative, will keep us ever mindful of
the duties and obligations of the so
ciety. "ELISE2 Y. KIDDER,

To Aid in Nation-Wide
Scheme to Produce More
Food Products.
(By United Press.)
Washington, May 5. Plans for
mobilization of a vast army of the
youth of the Nation to aid in agri
cultural work and other industries
vital to National defense wye an
nounced by Secretary of Labor Wil
son late today.
Working through a departmental
organization called the United States
Boys' Working Reserve, a prelimi
nary survey of the situation has been
started.
William Edwin Hall has been made
National director, with headquarters
in Washington. He will be assisted
by Governors and leaders of the great
'National boys' organizations with the
added assistance of a National advi
sory council composed of experts on
farm management, physical welfare,
transportation, finance and wage
rates.
. The department estimates there are
5,000,000 boys between the ages of, 16
and the age of enlistment, of which
at least 2.000,000 are permanently
idle. During the summer this num
ber is quadrupled.
Outlining the purpose and scope of
the reserve, Secretary Wilson said:
"Several of the State ana many of
the boys' clubs and. organizations
have already undertaken to mobilize
the boys of the country to assist in
promoting an early and successful
conclusion of the present war.
"The Department of Labor will in
troduce Federal methods of coordi
nation to assure distribution of labor
thus obtaine'd whieh will give great-
est benefit to the Nation, to prevent
waste of effort and duplication of ac
tivity, and to give the project a Na
tional aspect.
1 "As a result of survey of the coun
try, the department proposes to en
roll the 5,000,000 or more hoys for
work for. which each is most fitted.
The majority will be utilized' on
farms."
President to Review "Vets."
Washington, May 5. Thousands , of
gray-clad veterans of the Confeder
acy led by the dwindling remnant
of stonewall jacKsons nrass oaiio,
rwill re-consecrate' the allegiance-' to
the union they -fought, aLt the annnal
United Confederate Veterans Re
union here during the week of June-4.
President Wilson will review them
from before the White House.
Washington, May 5. That the gen
eral staff of the army has at last
turned to the belief that expedition
ary forces of American troops should
be sent, to France for intensive train
ing behind the lines is indicated to
day in an editorial in the Array and
Navv Journal, the official organ of
the army.
