forced to exert itself all year, and
Mills has an attack under cover
that promises to be hard to stop.

game will present his strongest line
up. Jimmie Condon, the Pacific coast
' star, who has been out of the game

OMAHA ATHLETE
NOW DIRECTOR
IN FRENCH ARMY
Raymond L. Carnes Teaching
Sports to Poilus at Agen
With Remarkable
Success.
New York, Nov. 23. The remark
able hold which the American ath
letics and sport gained in France
with the entry oi the United States
army is being illustrated in many
ways and there are indications that
the return to peaceful conditions
will only augment this popularity.
Competent observers hold firmly to
the opinion that the coming years
will witness a wonderful growth in
international sport competition, the
seeds of which have been sown by
the soldier in khaki and those who
entered Europe with him in advisory
or other helpful capacity.
That the French army authorities
realized the value of athletics as ex
emplified by the American soldier
and sailor is shown by the appoint-;
ment of special, instructors from the
Y. M. C. A. Foyer du Soldat ranks.
These American coaches are faced
by a most unusual and complicated
task, but have tackled the work with
the vim so characteristic in sport in
this country and are' already able to
report encouraging progress. They
found themselves confronted from
the start by conditions that have no
parallel in the United States. At
home the coach practically never has
to teach the fundamentals of any
game; his pupils acquire those in
childhood. But in France athletics
must be "built from the grounfl up."
Instead of organizing and continuing
sports that are already well known,
the Foyer du Soldat men must be
literally pioneers.
Learns Games Quickly.
The Frenchman is by nature and
temperament a sportsman, and is
able to learn American games very
quickly. Unfortunately for the rapid
growth of sports that require throw
ing and catching, there have been no
games generally playing in France
that develop muscular co-ordination
of the hands, arms and shoulders.
For this reason base ball, basket ball
and volley ball will prove especially
valuable in giving the French a well
balanced development.
Within the past few months the
French military -authorities have
found this work of so much benefit,
where conducted upon an informal
and voluntary basis, that they have
officially appointed Foyer men in
charge of athletics in several train
ing camps and schools. In view of
the. fact that demobilization is ex
pected to extend over a considerable
period these appointees and others
are likely to retain their billets for a
long time. Among those now serv
ing in this capacity are included:
Lawrence O'Connor, athletic di
rector for the aviation school at
Pau, where the commandant has or
dered all men on duty there to de
vote three-quarters of an hour each
day to sports. Mr. O'Connor comes
from New York City. At Camp de
Ger, R. L. Wiggin has assumed
charge of the athletic program. He
comes from Limerick, Me., is a Bow
doin college graduate, and was
superintendent of schools before tak
ing up Y. M. C. A. work in France.
Raymond L. Carnes of Omaha is
directing sports at Agen, another
training center in the southern part
of France. He is a Dartmouth mah
and was supervisor of physical edu
cation in Omaha. The experience
gained in his work at home has en
abled him to achieve Signal success
among the French, students placed
under his charge.
150,000 Refugees Returning
from Brussels to France
Lille, France, Not. 24. Refugees
from northern France to the number
of 150,000 are returning to their
homes from Brussels, mostly on
foot The refugees say the retir
ing German soldiers pillaged their
own shops and sold the stolen food
and supplis! to the inhabitants.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.
New Tork, Nov. JS. The stock market
was comparatively dull but somewhat un
settled this week, professional traders as
well as the financial community evidently
facing the forthcoming period of recon
struction with less optimism.
Title, was ini'icnted not only In the
general reoeaslon of prices, but by several
readjustments and suspensions of divi
dends, all more or less traceable to the
cancellation of war orders.
Executives of various Important finan
cial enterprises freely acknowledge the
radical change already resulting from
the end of the war and, labor problems
were Intensified, although as yet no mar
tial revision of prevailing wage schedules
ha been reported.
Money wa also a deterent to any wide
demand for securities, time funds re
maining extremely scarce, while brokers'
loans continued under the severe restric
tions Imposed by the local money commit
tee, acting In conjunction with the fed'
eral reserve board and the atoek ex
change. Liquidation wa observed tn motors,
metal and several other speculative Is
sue, the movement gaining momentum
after the passing of the Maxwell Motors
first preferred dividend and rumor of
price cutting la the copper trade.
Steel and equipment were moderately
steady at time, but yielded toward the
elm of the week. Rail showed. ome
resistance, especially atandard Issue, but
(hipping were subjected to erratic fluc
tuations following the announcement that
the federal authorities had called a halt
tn the mercantile marine deal to dispose
of Its fcrttHh loiifiai. , ' .

GRAIN REVIEW.
Chicago, Nov. 22. Sharp new advances
based largely on reports of food scarcity
In Europe have taken place this week In
the value of corn despite an expected en
largement of domestic rural shipments
and notwithstanding lowered quotations
at Paris and London. Compared with a
werkago. corn prices this morning were
4c to 6c higher and oats up lc to 2
2 hie. At the same time, lard was off
55c to 77c, but pork and ribs showed
gains of 10c to 82c.
Especially during the first part of the
week, Interest of corn trader centered on
the assumed need of large food supplies to
avert trans-Atlantic starvation. London
advices that arrangement were being
matin to dispatch a number of Oerman
vessels to the United States were responsi
ble for much of the fever to purchase, and
so too were United States preparations to
send large amounts of foodstuffs to Aus
tria, as well as the departure of five big
steamships from America for the Nether
lands. Later In the week, however, bear
ish news predominated. Including word
of liberal Argentine shipments. Accord
ingly, extreme advances were not main
tained. Oats strengthened with corn, but up
turns brought out hedging.
Provisions were dull and Irregular,
mainly Influenced by varying action of
cereals and hogs.
Chicago Grain and Provisions.
Chicago, Nov. 23. Aggressive selling on
the part of leading commission houses
forced the corn market sharply down
ward today. Cold weather and probable
increase of the crop movement to primary
centers gave an advantage to the beara.
About the only support for .prices came
from shorts. Opening quotations, which
ranged from M to lc lower, with De
cember f 1.26 to $1.25 and January
$1.27 to $1.28tt, were followed by a
material further setback
Week-end adjustment of trades failed
to bring about any Important rally. The
market closedheavy, 2V4 fO i'ke net lower,
with December 81.24V& and January, 81.26
$1.26.
Oats, like corn, showed pronounced
weakness. After opening to c lower,
with January 73 to 73 He, the market
continued to recede.
Higher prices on hogs put strength Into
provisions. Demand, however, was only of
a scattered sort.
Reactions which took place later were
of a minor character

FINANCIAL
New Tork, Nov 23. Prices were lower
at the opening of today's stock market
Active Issues, Including high grade rails,
reacted 1 to 2 points. Selling again cen
tered in metals and motors, secondary
coppers reflecting the uncertain condi
tions In that Industry. Pressure against
Studebaker was resumed and distilling is
sues denoted the latest aspect of federal
prohibition legislation. United States
Steel held steady and Mexican Petroleum
was the only leader to show actual
strength.
The noteworthy feature of the bond
market was the heavy selling of fourth
4s, which sold at the new quotation of
97.82 for the first time since their lsltlng
on the exchange.
Stocks were depressed at the outset of
today's short session, rallied moderately,
but soon reacted again, the second decline
embracing most branches of the active
list. Coppers, motors and equipments con
stituted the weakest features at extreme
reactions of 1 to 4 points, but the reversal
finally extended to standard issues, In
cluding rails. United States Steel resisted
pressure, but related shares and oils fi
nally succumbed. Rallies ranging from
fractions to a point were made In the
later dealings. The closing was heavy.
Sales approximated 350,000 shares The
feature of the bond markot was the ac
tivity of Fourth Liberty 4 Vis at the new
minimum of 97.82.

German Cabinet Clashes
With Soldiers' Council
Berlin, Nov. 24.- The bundesrat
lias not as yet been dissolved and
the government has instructed it
to proceed with its routine admin
istrative duties in the same manner
that the other departments of the
former government are now doing.
Negotiations are going on between
the cabinet and the soldiers and
workmen's council for the purpose
of establishing the respective juris
diction of those .bodies. The ab
sence of sharply defined limits of au
thority has resulted in frequent
collision.
The official flag of the German
democracy has not yet been select
ed. The German navy is flyinp- the
war flag to which a red pennant
has been attached. It is a foregone
conclusion that the German people
will oppose the red flag as the per
manent ensign, aside from the rea
son that it is the banner of the
international party.
