Cttle---Thre wre no cattle of any eon
sequence In ilRht this morn Inn, but (or the
week receipts have bon very largo, showing
heavy gains ovr all recent weeks and over
a y-ar ago. The tauaa for tha large run la
aarrthod generally to tha fact that prices
weaa highland that the country took advan
tage e-X them to unload aurplua atock and
thereby escape Ita assessment for taiallon.
Prlre on good heavy beeves, that la cat
tle spiling at $ll.518.t.e, have been ataady
all tha week, tha demand being good and
the market Arm, All other grades, on the
ether hand, have eased off not only here,
but at thflT aellfng points aa well, and at
tha close ef tha week aurh cattle are 2t0
40c higher than laat weak.

eased off, being around 1S&2&C lower, with

Hog- A good Saturday run of hogs
rounded out a week of liberal receipts. About
UR cars, or 1,(00 head, ware reported In,
bringing tha total for tha week up to 3,30l
head. Thla la tha heavleat run alnoe Ave
weeka ago, being 22,000 larger than laat
weak, 10,000 heavier than two weeka ago,
and almost 25,000 greater than for the same
day laat year.
All of thla week's markets have been Ir
regular, but today' waa without doubt tha
hardest to quote, Shippers bought some
hogs early at pricea that ranged front strong
to i lOo higher, or were generally a full
nickel higher. Bight on flrat rounds a
few scattering loads aeld to packers that
wefe as much aa &01OO higher, but aa a
'teneral thing, killer buyara were out for
steady pricea, and when thay finally did
make the bulk of their purchases, they were
mostly steady to not over o higher any
where. General quality of the offerings,
lacked a great deal of being as good as on
previous days of the week, and this mads
the market hard to quote, for while Indi
vidual sales looked steady to Bo, and to
extreme eases 10a higher, the coat of drlvea
wea do mora than steady, and on' paper
most packers' costs were lower than yes
terday." The presence of a good deal of juit fair
light stuff, and also a good many highly
mixed loads tended to make tha market
alow, especially attar the bulk of the good
hogs had been cleaned up. While tha market
dragged until noon or after without a com
plete clearances being made, however, the
laat hoga to aell showed little or no change
compared with yesterday, and It looked as
though In the end all the freah arrivals
would be cleaned up without any great
concessions having to be made.
To earn tip the general market as well
aa waa possible, most of the desirable hoga
sold steady to a nickel higher, and In ex
treme Instances 10q advances were noted.
Pankera didn't buy the lights until thay
had to In order to fill out their droves,

Silver The Cinderella Among Metals
Compared with pre-war averages copper is now telling 150

about 25 above the average of ten years and is practically identical
with the average of 30 years before tha war.
The lesson is plain. " ,
The big rise in silver metal has not taken place yet.
The big rise in silver mine stocks is only about to commence.

GERARD SAYS WAR
WILLJSE SERIOUS
Returned Ambassador Tells
Aero Men Time for Embattled
farmer and Musket Fast
A MATTER OT MECHANICS
New York, Starch 31. The fully
equipped aerial coast patrol nation at
Port Washington, N. Y., together
with an air cruiser fitted with two
200-horsepower motors and airplane
gun, were offered to the government
tonight through the Aero Club of
America by Rodman Wanamaker
Announcement of the gift was made
at a dinner of the Aero club at which
former Ambassador James W. Gerard
was a speaker.
Alan R. Hawley, president of the
club, announced that the Collier tro
phy offered annually for th greatest
achievement in aviation in America
had been awarded to Elmer A
Sperry and Lawrence B. Sperry for
the development of drift indicators.
The Aero club's medal of merit has
been given to Miss Ruth Law for es
tablishing the American distance rec
ord across country; to Philip Carroll,
for his patriotic work in training mil
itary aviators; to Floyd Smith, for
establishing American hydro altitude
records; to Corporal. A. D. Smith, U
S. A., for the American hydro dura
tion record; to Captain C. C. Culver,
U. S. A., for wireless experimentation,
and to James V. Martin, for the in
vention of the aero-dynamic stabilizer.
Mr. Gerard declared that modern
war is largely a matter of mechanics
and munitions. The legend of the
embattled farmer is responsible, be
said, for much iiiipreparediiess.
"We hear even today," he said,
"prattling! about embattled farmers
taking their old muskets from over
the chimneypiece and defeating the
invader. But nowadays the old flint
lock means Zeppelins, airplanes, cap
tive observation balloons, steel hel
mets, gas and gas masks, machine
guns, searchlights, tixteen-inch guns
and eighteen-inch howitzers, trench
mortars, range finders, telescopes, ar
mored automobiles, tanks, miles of
barbed wire, underground mining,
rockets and grenades and countless
other instruments of war the proper
use of which can only be learned
after years' of application. All these
modern means of war reguire great
preparations. If we are in for war
we are in for a serious war. '
"I believe that the men of German
blood who have joined us will remain
loyal to this country. Will not the de
scendants of the revolutionaries of
'48 be with us in the fight? Some of
the finest blood in America comes to
us from the men of '48, from those
who left Germany because they
sought more freedom, more oppor
tunity than they could obtain in
Europe. We must extend the helping
hand to our German-Americans, who,
affected, as was their right in the be
ginning by a purely sentimental feel
ing toward the land of Germany and
the German people, are now ready to
climb on the band wagon."

Damrosch Orchestra at Auditorium.
Omaha is growing into a very en
thusiastic city, if one is to judge by
the heartiness and duration of the ap
plause in general at the recent mu
sical attractions, and in particular at
the program given at the Auditorium
last evening by the Symphony So
ciety of New York with Walter Dam
rosch conductor. Prolonged enthusi
asm prevailed after each number, and
the audience, which was of very fair
proportions, listened attentively and
interestedly throughout. The Audi
torium presented a most attractive
sight, decorated as it was with a vast
number of American flags, and with
one mammoth flag forming the back
ground behind the orchestra, while an
illuminated one hung at the front of
the stage over the conductor s stand.
Mr. Damrosch and his orchestra are
becoming like old friends in Omaha,
having appeared here three successive
years, on their transcontinental tour.
The orchestra, numbering eighty
pieces, is a well balanced and capable
body, ready and able to interpret the
music in whatever manner the con
ductor wills.
Last night's program was a con
servative one as to modern numbers.
It has been quite a long time since
"Symphony No. 5, by Kaff, based
upon the ballad of "Lenore," has been
presented here, and its four widely
contrasted movements, all as Mr.
Damrosch said, "maintaining a me-

Admits Impossible
To Starve England
Copenhagen (Via London)
March 31. Open skepticism as to
the possibility of bringing Great
Britain to its knees by a subma
rine campaign and through the di
rect pressure of starvation is ex
pressed by Captain ' Persius, the
naval critic of the Berliner Tage
blatt. Instead, the hope and belief
of Captain Persius is that by an
average monthly loss of 500,000
tons of shipping in the next few
months Great Britain may be
brought to realize that a continu
ation of the war wouli' be unpro
fitable, though this realization, he
declares, had not yet been attained.
diaeval character in the music,
brought a great deal of pleasure and
enjoyment. The four movements are
connected by the episodes of the bal
lad, and work up to a dramatic and
ghoulish climax in the closing one.
The "Andante Quasi Larghetto" is
full of amorous suggestion, tne ta
miliar March a brilliant and most
melodious portion, was given a broad
climax and vital performance, while
the ghostly suggestions in narmonies
and woodwinds in the last movement
quite thrilled with their unearthliness,
calmed at last by the closing chant.
In the absence of program notes Mr
Damrosch told the story ot tnis Dai
lad of the maiden whose lover went
off to the war. When his regiment re
turned he was not there, but that
night his ghost came to her window,
and calline her to mount a ghostly
horse, he rode with her to the grave
yard, where they, horse and all, leaped
into an open grave, while ghostly
voices chanted for the .safety of their
souls, as the earth closed over them.
After this terrifying musical experi
ence, the soothing breadth of the
Bach "Air on the G string," which
most effectively featured the excellent
tone of the first violin section, was
a welcome contrast and its playing a
great credit to the artistic skill ot the
entire string choir A well known and
straightforward Gavotte by the same
composer was also played by the
string choir with broad tone, vivid
rhythms and atmospheric sincerity.
Other orchestral numbers were the
"Prelude" to "Lohengrin," by Wag
ner; "Roumanian Rhapsody No. 1,"
by Encsco, a big, fiery work, full of
color, and folk-tune suggestions, with
many novel orchestral combinations,
and flashing strongly with rhythms.
Among the encores giyen by the or
chestra was an operatic medley, and
at the last, "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner," which received rousing cheers
and brought both orchestra and audi
ence to their feet.
Efrem Zimbalist, the soloist, gave
a brilliant and clean-cut interpretation
of the always welcome "Concerto for
Violin with Orchestra, by Max
Bruch, obtaining a broad and singing
tone in the lovely Adagio, and strong
rhythmic swing and dazzling climaxes
in the finale (Allegro Energico). He
is a well equipped and assured violin
ist and made a decided impression in
the concerto, responding after some
coaxing with "Orientale," by Cesar
Cui, also with orchestral accompani
ment, which number is so pronounced
in coloring and atmospheric effect
that many would have liked it re
peated, had Mr. Damrosch consented.
Mr. Damrosch conducts easily and
with definite musical intentions, and
he gains many and varied effects. His
orchestra is a good one and it would
be nice to hear it oftener. H. M. R.

VILLA ATTACKS
CHIHUAHUA Cin
Loses 600 in Prisoners and
350 in Killed and Wonnded
in Futile Attempt.
MEN FLEE IN DISORDER
Chihuahua City, "March 31. Fran
cisco Villa, at the head of a cavalry
force of 3,500 men, made a determined
attenipt today to capture Chihuahua
City, but was driven back with the
loss of SOO prisoners and 350 in killed
and wounded.
The attack, which had been ex
pected by the garrison, was launched
at 530 o'clock this morning in the
direction of Quinta Carolina, north of
the city, and spread rapidly to the
Santa Nino railway station, the store
houses of the Pierce Oil company,
and the abandoned city cemetery.
From an order of the day found on
a prisoner, Villa's expedition is shown
to have numbered 3,500 men, all cav
alry, which was only half the size
of the defending Carranza forces,
whose losses in dead and wounded
amounted to the comparatively small
number of 120 men.
The Carranza officers here do not
assert that the victory was decisive,
although it caused the enemy to flee
in disorder.
Villa was reported to be in personal
command of the attack, but remained
at a safe distance from the scene of
fire.
Villa's men were well provided with
ammunition, but lacked food and
clothing and suffered on the battle
field from need of water, as all of the
streams are dry at this season of the
year.
