CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Improved Weather Conditions Resnlt tn
Pronounced Break la Price of Corn.
Chicago, Aug. 10. Pronounced breaks In
the price of corn resulted today from ex
cellent weather condition and from the
allied victories In Franc. The market

In provisions, there were rain of 7o to 40ft,
General lelllng pressure which kept ' the
corn market almost constantly on ths down
(trade isemed to come about chiefly through
the outlook for Improvement, a good rains
over wide districts were reported, and the
prevailing temperatures were ot a season
able character. Throughout the day also
continuous bulletins which announced suc
cess sfter success for the allies tended to
make buyers scarce, and to emphasize bear
ish sentiment On the other hand, car
shortage complaint attracted considerable
attention, and so too did the amallness ot
receipt here. Rallies, however, were due
more to weekend evening up of shorts than
to any other factor, and proved to be of
no lasting effect
Liberal receipts and expected deliveries
on contracts weakened oats. Arrivals for
the week were nearly double the oorre

OMAHA GROWTH
IS EXCEPTIONAL
IN M STRESS
With No War Industries Build-'
ing Increase is Considered
Startling by Civic
Experts.
Omaha is one of the few cities of
the first class in the United States
which shows an increase in building
pperations this year, according to the
report of the United States geological
survey.
Of 60 cities selected, 48 showed a
decrease and only 12 an increase. New
York was one of the cities which
showed a decrease, and the only cities
showing an increase were: Water
bury, Conn.; Akron, Atlanta, Chester
Denver, El Paso, Hartford, Los An
geles, New Haven, Omaha, Sioux City
and Youngstown.
An analysis of the report shows
that most of .the cities where there
had been an increase in building oper
ations were cities which benefit
largely by war conditions, where the
startling expansions of industries
based on war demand, and which are
necessarily of a transient nature, are
the rule
In most of the cities where there
were decreases in building operations
the principal causes of decrease were
the scarcity of labor, the high cost of
material and labor and financial strin
gency. Omaha and Sioux City Grow.
Omaha and Sioux City alone were
the cities which have grown physical
ly and have shown an Increase of
building operations along normal
lines. v
Labor and materials here are s
scarce and as expensive as elsewhere,
but the easy condition of local finan
ces, as well as the necessity for the
housing of growing population, ex
panding industries and business made
new buildings necessary.
There is a prospect of the slowing
of building operations here the com
ing year, as the same necessity will
exist as now obtains. There is only
one impediment in the way, and it is
an impediment which has prevented
the erection of a number of contem
plated structures of importance the
present year. That Is the vague in
terpretation of the federal rule in re
gard to "essential buildings."
It is hope before the building sea
son of 1819 sets in the federal govern
ment will give a ruling on the ques
tion as to what are "essential build
ings." A solution of this vexing prob
lem is much desired by Omaha in
vestors and building contractors.

BOCHE STOPPED
IN GREAT DRIVE
BY AMERICANS
Story of Fighting at Chateau
Thierry Graphically Told
by Officer of Ma
rines Engager,
Washington, Aug. 10. An eye wit
ness story of the fighting near Cha
teau Thierry, in which American di
visions, including the marine brigade,
took part early in June, was made
public today by the Navy department.
It is in the form of a letter from an
officer of the marines to Major Gen
eral Barnett, commandant of the
corps. The name of the writer is not
disclosed.
The Americans were rushed to the
line in motor trucks to support the
hard pressed French and on June 1
the marine brigade deployed on a sup
port position, the battalion com
manded by Major Thomas Holcomb
hurrying into the line as the men
climoed out of the trucks. The Ger
mans were coming on and on June 2
the French dropped back, passing
through the American lines.
"We had installed ourselves in a
house in La Voie Chattel, a little vil
lage between Champillon and Lucy
Le Bocage," the letter says. "From
one side we had observation of the
north and when the Germans at
tacked at 5 p. m. we had a box seat.
"They were driving at Hill 16S from
the north and northeast and they
came out on a wonderfully clear day
in two columns advancing in perfect
order until two-thirds of the columns,
we judged, were in view.
Put Up Barrier of Firs.
'The rifla and machine gun fire
was incessant and overhead shrapnel
was bursting. Then the shrapnel
came on the target at each shot. The
white patches would roll away and
we could see that some of the columns
were (till there, slowed up. It
seemed perfect suicide for them to
try. You couldn't begrudge a tribute
to their pluck, at that.
"Then under that deadly fire, and
a barrage of rifle and machine gun
fire, the boche stopped. It was too
much for any men. They burrowed
in or broke to the cover of the woods
and you could, follow them by the
ripples of the green and white as they
raced for cover."
The writer says the rifle fire of the
marines amazed the French who
saw it.
"That men should fire deliberately
and use their sights and adjust their
range," he says, "was beyond their
experience. It must have had a tell
ing effect on the morale of the boche,
for it was something they had not
counted on. As a matter of fact after
pushing back the weakened French
and then running up against a stone
wall defense, they were literally 'up
in the air' and more than stopped.
We found that out later from pris
oners, for the Germans never knew
we were in the front line when they
made that attack. They were abso
lutely mystified at the manner in
which the defense stiffened up until
they found that our troops were in
line."
The letter describes a daylight
charge against a machine gun nest
and of scouting raids up to June 6,
when the whole brigade swung for
ward to straighten out the line. This
action resulted in the capture of Bel
leau wood.
Individual Acts of Bravery.
Major Sibley's battalion of the Sixth
marine regiment led the way here
with Holcomb in support. The
woods were alive with enemy ma
chine guns. That night word came
back that Robertson with 20 men of
the 96th company, had taken Bour
esches, breaking through a heavy ma
chine gun barrage to enter the town.
Robertson, fighting with an automat
ic in either hand, was hit three times
before he would allow himself to be
taken to the rear.
Speaking of individual acts of bra
very, the writer says Duncan, a com
pany commander, "before he was
mowed down, had his pipe in his
mouth and was carrying a stick."
Later, he adds "Dental Surgeon Os
borne picked up Duncan and with a
hospital corps man had just gained
some shelter when a shell wiped all
three out."
Private Dunlavy, kille4 later, cap
tured an enemy machine gun in Bour
esches which he turned on the foe
with, great effect, while' at another
point "young Timmerman charged a
machine gun at the point of the bay
onet and sent in 1 prisoners at a
clip."
The 82d company lost all, its offi
cers and Major Sibley and his adju
tant, Lieutenant Bellamy, reorgan
ized it under fire, and charged a ma
chine gur nest at the most critical
time in all the fighting..
"I wonder if ever an outfit," the
letter says, "went up against a more
desperate job, .stuck "to it so gamely
without sleep, at times on short ra
tions, with men and officers going
off like flies; and I wonder if in our
long list of gallant deeds there ever
were two better stunts than the work
of Sibley and Holcomb?"

PROPAGANDA IS
DROPPED JULY 4
BY HUN BALLOON
Omaha Man Sends One of the
100 Balloons Used Back to
Partner as a War,
Souvenir.
That Germany was really a "good
Samaritan," not a monster, and car- -
ried on a work of "Christian charity"
in Poland, Belgium and Serbia, are
the astounding statements made by
Qerman propaganda pamphlets'
dropped behind the former American "
lines northwest of Chateau Thierrv '
by German airmen.
Visible proof of this acme of Hun
self-laudation has come to Omaha in
the form of a paper balloon used to
drop the literature, which Capt. M.
F. Sharp of Omaha, paymaster of
the Forty-second regiment. Rainbow
division, has sent to his partner, Har
ry H. McDuff of the Townsend Gun
company of this city.
The balloon was one i of , 100
laun'ched by the Germans on July 4
as a celebration of American Inde
pendence day. Each balloon carried
1,000 thin-paper pamphlets written in.
French.
As the pamphlets were written in
French the Americans were unable
to read them and turned them over
to the French.
The literature .was designed to cre
ate dissension between the English,
and the French and contained state
ments which the British were alleged
to have made in years past in de-'
nunciatiqn of their present allies. The
pamphlets were elaborately illustrated
and printed.
The effect of this perfect exemplar
of - blundering German psychology '
may be gauged by the use made of
the literature by the French. The
pamphlets were heaped in large bon
fires and burned to the laughing com
ments of the poilus.
The balloons themselves are made
of tough red fiber paper.
That present sky-high food prices
in America are nothing compared to
prices in Paris is revealed by Captain
Sharp in the letter which he sent at
the same time he dispatched the bal-
loon. With two companions he en
tered a Paris restaurant and pur
chased a modest meal. The bill called
for 120 francs, or about $24 in Ameri
can money. . , t

cautious feelers already put out led1
today .to an authoritative statement
that General March set forth the at
titude of the American government
today when he said in a conference,
with newspaper men that now was
the time for the greatest effort at,
the battle front
It is known to the officials that
more .teutonic peace taiK wouia nave
been forthcoming if the big March
drive of the Germans had succeeded
to a point where they could claim at
least a partial victory. Now that
they are reeling under a stunning de
feat on that same western front, offi
cials say the "peace drive" may be
expected because something must be
done to keep the German people be-i
hind their government by the pre
tense that it is willing and anxious
to make peace, but that the enemy
will be content with nothinor short
of the annihilation of the central
powers. ,
