prices even faater than they advanced them
juat a short while back. Locally receipt

ate runs wars the rule at all points, but
the market has fallen- with ft dull thud
everywhere. The fact thai values were a
great deal higher than the prices tha pub
lic was willing to pay for dressed lamb and
mutton warrant, waa tha , mum of tha
decline. '
On tha better grades of sheep and lambs
there has been a slump of about 13,00 from
th high time last week. Nothing; was
her yesterday of conaequsnoe, but had
1 offerings been of any also there might
, havs been ft further break, as Chicago waa
quoted as 36 0 60o lower. Shorn western
Iambs, which at tha high time touched
" 117.00, ar not quotabl above $11.00 am

but quotations' underwent a subsequent
teep drop, and closed unsettled, with net
gain of la to 6c, at $8.06 for July and

changed to c higher and provisions vary

It required actual buying of only 60.000
bushels to cause th Jump In th price of
September wheat Even smaller trading
forced th ris In th July option. Almost
th oi new bullish development In sight
waa th announcement that the government
intends to protect grower in mamegng
their crops and that pricea would be guar
anteed hlih enough to stimulate production.
On crop estimate auggeted that th yield
In-North America this season would reach
a total of fully a billion buahela, but Im
port needs of Great Britain, Franc and
Italy were nut at 660,000 buahela.
on reaaon which mad sellers wary of
wneat waa tn trngtn or .corn, continued
unfavorable weather formed th chief stim
ulus to buyer In th corn market. Oats
sympathised via th acnt of corn and

N'.w Tork, June I, Proflt-taklnr oeca
aloned by the usual week.end closing of
outstanding contracta and next Tueaday'a
holiday probably accounted for the Irregu.
larlty and heavlneaa of today'., market.
The ehort tntereat also derived ama en
couragement from the further decline in
Russian exchange to a point aporoachlng
lta minimum, and the decision of the In.
terstale Commerce commission ordering a
suspension of alx month, of .chedule. on
domestic storage within the limit, of fitvr
York harbor.

to Peking to Torce the
Dissolution of Parliament.

Ihe attitude of Chang-Hsun, the
commander nf th snv.rnm,n. .rnnn.
at Nan-King, and Feng-Kwo-Chang,
me vice president, is unuenned, but it
is believed that both are inclined to
support the militarists. The president
has issued a lengthy statement de
fending his dismissal of the premier,
at the same time highly praising him
and expressing the hope that he may
serve the country in the future. The
statement ends:
"If thos re.nnnaihlr 4Yir the
crisis intend to provoke internal war
i win unaer no consideration watch
the Mtintrv Kinlf intn nernitinn 1 on.
not afraid to die for the country."
; ine general tone ot the statement
is apologetic and lacking in strength.
Owing to the refusal of Li-Ching Hsi
to accept the premiership, the presi
dent's position is precarious.

China form the major part of the
southeastern portion of the republic
and have a nnmtlatinn e( ahniit 17(1.

SECRET STILLS IN
MANY RUSS TOWNS
Consumption of Home-Made
yodka Working Havoc in
the Sural Commun-
itiss. '
(Correspondence of The Associated Presa.
Petrograd, April 24. Prohibition of
traffic in vodka which went into ef
fect at the beginning of the war, while
reducing to a minimum the percentage
of drunkenness in cities throughout
the empire, has met with less flatter
ing results in ithe villages, according
to reports recently received. '
In these rural 'communities secret
distilleries have sprung up and a "new
scourge" has taken the place of the
vodka of other days; This is especial
ly true of Siberian , villages, says
Ryetch. A Siberian deputy is quoted
to the effect that the peasants, instead
of bringing corn to the towns to sell,
are engaged in buying the small
stocks remaining in such towns tor
sale to secret distilleries of vodka at
fancy prices, some times paying as
high as 14 cents a pound.
"This eommunication," continues
Ryetch, "is confirmedjjy the Siberian
press. Nearly every village now has
its bwn distillery. Consumption of
this homemade product is increasing
the number of hooligans in the vil
lages and the latter are suffering in
consequence. And this evil is not
confined to Siberia. In the middle
provinces the same conditions exist.
The Tambovsky Zemsky Vestnik
savs of these nrovinces: "Homemade
vodka is consumed in enormous quan
tities in spite ot its high cost, ine
peasants have plenty of money and
with few distractions in the villages,
drinking is on the increase.'VThe lat
ter article concludes with the signifi
cant observation: "Perhaps those who
are afraid of an educated peasant are
secretly condoning this drunkenness."

SURFACE COMMAND
WILL DEFEAT DIVER
i
Admiral Sims Says Navy that
Can Control Top of Water
Has the Submarine
Beaten to Standstill,
The cabled news that American de
stroyers are now operating with the
allied fleet and that Rear Admiral
William S. Sims, U. S. N., is in com
mand of this expeditionary force of
hornets, is welcome news to all who
know the energy and skill of this ohY
cer and the effectiveness of the ves
sels which he commands.
After brineine about that extraor
dinarv revision in our naval target
practice which changed the 3 per cent
of hits scored at Santiago to the 3 per
cent of misses which were later made
on the target ranges, this officer was
placed in command of our destroyer
flotilla and later in command of our
submarines. In the service he is,
therefore, regarded as pre-eminently
equipped for the work of, hunting
down submarines .with destroyers, as
there is no one more familiar with the
canactties of both tvDes.
The views of Admiral Sims on the
limitations of submarines must be of
intense interest at this time, when
that tvoe of vessel is absorbing so
much attention and when he is now
engaged in attacking them with
American destrovers.
It was preceding the declaration of
war that Admiral Sims was called to

"Ilnnn the invitation of clubs I have
spoken before many audiences on the
characteristics of the submarine, and
T have found an almost complete miS'
apprehension of what a submarine is
and what it can do. They were not
aware, for example, that a submarine
can only steam for short distance
underneath the water, depending upon
its size, from, Say, forty to fifty or
sixty miles, and that, having steamed
that distance, it must come to the
surface and stay three or tour or nve
hours, according to tne size, to re
charge its batteries.

A submarine cannot operate safely
at all in the presence of surface boats
of the enemv jn less than a certain
depth of water. The Submarine it
self, practically independent of its
size, whether it is of 300 tons or 1,-
000 tons, draws aoout tne same amount
of water, from the bottom of its
keel to the top of the periscope, us
ually about forty-odd leet tney oo
not differ more than two or three
feet and the consequence is that in
the oresence of enemy surface boats
the submarine must operate in water
deep enough to enable it to go aown
to a considerable distance without
striking the bottom; that is, it must
have water of from sixty to seventy
feet depth. The speed of a submarine
under the water is siow anywncre
from eight to ten knots for the aver-
The consequence is thit a naval
force that commands the surface of
the sea can counteract almost entire
ly the attack of submarines, because
the subjjiarine eannot go very far un
der the surface. It must do most of its
traveling on the surface. It can be
seen from a very considerable dis
tance from the high decks of ships,
and if it is seen and there are a con
siderable number of surface craft of
the enemy m its "neighborhood it
is immediately in very great danger.
For example, a submarine is seen
in a certain position at 6 o'clock in
the morning, and that information is
flashed out on the wireless, giving its
latitude and longitude. Then it is
known that by 7 o'clock in the morn
ing it cannot be outside a certain"
circle drawn, we will say, witn a
dius of eight to ten miles from that
ooint. and at 8 o'clock in the morning
tt cannot be outside of a certain othe
larger circle, so that vessels stationed
in the neighborhood, that can be
called in by wireless, form them
selves in a line and sweep across the
circle, and that submarine has to
proceed under water, for, having been
seen, it must immediately-go down
to avoid the gunfire from the vessel
which first sighted it. and must either
move under the water or else go
down to the bottom and rest there,
which it can do only if the water is
not over TOO , feet deep, 'with the
hope that they will not find it
If it travels along tinder the water
with periscope submerged it disturbs
the surface of the water, the regular
torm of the waves on the surface, by
passing along nnderneath the surface,
so that von can often see this dis
turbance proceeding like a wake, and
it can from the high bridge of a ship.
or from a hvdroplane, be particularly
well seen. Then two destroyers of

submarine's 'wake' and throw out a

Let's have a little heart-to-heart
talk today, friends. ;
I would like to find out which of
my articles you like the best.
Now, Smarty, don't say you dont
t;v nnv of them. That isn't polite
and besides it indicates that there's
something wrong with your noodle.
What 1 want to know, reaaers near,
is this:
Do you like those piffle stories
where I tell you, for instance, how
Mr. and Mrs. Bunker refused to rent
their famous hill, but gave it free,
to their country as a place to fight the
battle of Bunker Hill?
Do you like the statistical stories
where I inform you how many piles
of silver dollars as high as the City
National bank building the Liberty
Inan wolilrl make? ' :l
Do you like serious municipal in
formation, such as a statement o
Omaha's -city debt and what cities, !
any, have bigger ones? '
Is any one present who likes stories
where I talk about myself? 1 seeja
few hands. Thank you, friends.
Some May Like Poems.
Do you like my answers to read
ers' questions? Do you care for the
poems that I print sometimes? ;
These questions are important and
we will do well to devote today to
considering them.
I here are all kinds ot people in
the world, you know. Some of them
like foolishness. Abraham Lincoln
was one of these. "A little nonsense
now and then is relished by the wisest
men.'V I can be foolish when I try
and. though it is a great effort, I am
willing to try hard and often for your,
sakes, dear readers. .! '
The Tired Business Man and the
Weary Working Girl like a bit 'of
foolishness when they come home in
the evening. They don't want to find
every day that I have written an ar
ticle starting like this: '
"Omaha manufactures more double,
jointed pickles and seedless olives

danger submarines run ia the pres
ence of light surface craft. The net
is a very light one made of wire rope,
probably not as big as a lead pencil,
probably not more than a quarter or
an inch in diameter. The meshes of
the net are twelve or fifteen feet
square. On the top of this net an
floats and on the bottom are little
weights. The moment this net is in
the water in front of the submarine
the floats keep the net on the surface
and the weights keep the bottbm
down, and if it runs into it its bow
goes into one of the meshes and the
net falls back, around it, and it may
foul its propeller or may not. The
net is 300 or 400 yards long, and, as
the submarine proceeds, the floats will
trail on the surface, so that even if it
dives deeper it leaves these on the
surface, its trail is plain and there is
no difficulty then in capturing it ! It
