Though Making Kffort.
The steadily declining: cMl mar
ket Is of iTTeat concern to the stock
fro w erg of western Nebraska nd
that they might effect relief from
the condition a delegation haa been
ta WaBhinKton, D. C. conferring with
the proper .department officials.
ful in stirring things up quite
generally among tb various officials
so relief Is yet in sight.
Curtalment of government war or
ders and a considerable-reduction in
the aiie of foreign orders has
brought about a decline In the price
of cattle. Nebraska growers have
complained to officials and are ask
ing Immediate proposal of some
plan to Increase the foreign outlets
(or their products.
They insist that most of the cattle
they have at present are high-priced
ones fed on high-priced feed, and
that to dispose of them npw means
evere lowu?s which in many in
stances will mean the ruin of the
growers. This matter was discussed
on last Tuesday with the war trade
board, 'the bureau of commerce and
the bureau of markets of the depart
ment of agriculture..
The belief of officials of those fed
eral departments is that no immedi
ate remedy Is at hand. The Interests
that have demanded great orders
heretofore have cut down their
needs, and there is no way fo restore
them. The acting chief of the mar
kets bureau declared that agencies
of his department are working for
(stabilization of the industry, but he
aserted that about the only thing
that could be done to prevent demor
alization of the market would be to
prevent unnatural influences from
getting to work at this time.
OVER MILLION SHELLS
FIRED IN FOUR HOURS
WASHINGTON, D. C. The most
Intense concentration of artillery fire
-erer recorded was that of the Ameri
can troops In the battle of St Mihiel,
(ought from September 12 to 15 and
which was the first distinctly Amer
ican offensive of the war. It was
fought chiefly by American troops
And wholly under the orders of Am
erican officers. In this battle the Am
erican artillery fired more than one
I million shells in four hourB.
Two comparisons with Gettysburg
emphasize the magnitude of the St.
Jflhlel operation. At St. ' Mihiel,
(50,000 Americans were engaged; at
Gettysburg the Union troops num
bered approximately 100,000. In
three days at Gettysburg the Union
nuiery nrea S4,vvu sneiis. Mae ei.
Mihiel offensive cost the Americans
About 7,000 casualties, less than one-
third the Union losses at Gettysburg.
MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR
IHSCllAWil'J) SOLDIERS
WASHINGTON, D. C -Fourteen
stations have been established In dif
ferent sections of the , country at
which discharged soldiers, sailors
and marines who are beneficiaries of
the War Risk Insurance act may ob
tain medical treatment. An officer
of the Tubllc Health Service Is In
charge of each of the stations.
The fact that many men are being
discharged from army hospitals who
may later require further medical
treatment on their return to private
life led the War Department to es
tablish the stations. District officers
have been appointed with instruc
tions to advise men as they are dis
charged that the Tubllc Health Serv
ice through these stations will fur
nish them with any medical atten
tion they may require. Nothing that
can be done for the hearth or general
welfare of the men who rallied to
the colors Is being left undone by the
War Department.
