Bradstreet's Trade Review. New York, Oct. 11. Bradstreet's tomor row will say: Cumulatively favorable war news has stimulated the bond market, raised the levels of peace stocks and begotten false peace sentiment, against which the presi dent has Issued a caution. Peace talk, too, has had some effect on trade, which re flects some hesitation, and the pace of Industry has slackened, but some re sponsibility tor this Is credited to the country wide epidemic of lnfluenfa which has hampered Industry, resulted In the promulgation of health regulations, the closing oF some theaters and schools, and finally In restricted buying by the ulti mate consumer. The Liberty loan cam paign also has diverted attentions from trading and pleas for peace emanating from the central European belligerents, have brought on a mors cautious attitude among buyers.

Word that the German answer to Presi dent Wilson's note would be deferred un til after a conference of the sovereigns of the German federated states was an Im portant factor In curtailing the selling pressure which had been forcing down the value of, corn. Buying, however, appeared to be restricted largely to shorts who wished to collect profits and to avoid the risks that would be involved if covering were delayed until Monday. It was stated too that recent selling had been heavy on the part of holders and many feared to take the bear side further at present.

Staggering un der the military regulations, middle western foot ball was dealt another blow tonight when a score of col leges and universities cancelled gridiron contests scheduled for to morrow because of the epidemic of Spanish influenza. Nearly 20 of the 30 odd games scheduled were called off. Reports received in Chicago indi cated that some of the games had been cancelled because members of numerous gross advances of 2 to almost : teams were slightly indisposed with colds, others because of probable poor attendance due to the epidemic and still others for the plain reason that it feared crowds cause a spread of the disease despite the fresh air. Six of the 10 teams in the western conference, however, will go into action. Illinois will face the Great Lakes naval training station eleven in the most important contest of the day, while Chicago, Minnesota, Ohio State, Purdue and Wisconsin will engage minor teams in games to put the eleven on edge for the "big ten" championship season. Chicago will play a team from the Chicago school of ensigns, while Wisconsin will face Ripon college as its opponent? Ohio State will play Denison at Columbus, Purdue and Depauw will clash at Lafay ette and Minnesota will hook up with an all-star aggregation. The Michigan-Camp Custer game as well as the Nebrastfa-Camp Fun ston contest will -be called off be cause of influenza.

Wounded Hun Tries , to Kill Yankee Officer Who is Helping Him With the American Army in Field, Oct. 11. (Correspondence of , Associated Press). An instance of cowardly treachery on the part of a captured German officer who had been wounded and who had been of fered help by an" American officer is told by Lt. Edward Nichols, of Jamaica, N. Y. After the last big drive of the allies in August, Lieutenant Nichols was placed in charge of a company : of soldiers whose task it was to clear the field of American dead and wounded. Although his duties did n t require him to aid the German wounded on the field until the Americans were disposed of, Lieu tenant Nichols, who is only 23 years old, went to the assistance of a German infantry officer who seemed niore than any of his comrades to be in need of succor. The lieutenant was in the act of unfastening his canteen and giving the wounded man a drink of water . when the German drew a revolver , while the unsuspecting American's face was turned, and aimed it at the head of his rescuer. 1 Before he could pull the trigger, however, a quick-witted American sergeant plunged his bayonet through the German's heart The . German's act was condemned even by his captured comrades. ' Senate Votes Extension ,, Of Daylight Saving Law Washington, Ocf. 10.
