__ Pouuiey DEALERS | « ADVANGE. PRICES ~ WITHOUT REASON Last Meat Is Juggled by Specu- ; lators on Biggest Buying Day of Week. RICE, IS “CORNERED.” Flour Slightly. Lower and Manipulators Face Ruin if War Ends Soon. PIPER PEDITSOD? ©8904 F-09054 HEE RENE 85546 0S9S5G FFTSEGIS IST EEDIIDIDD Speculators in foot, emboldened by | knowledge that the numerous in-| vestigations have availed nothing, to- | day seized upon the only remaining important item in the food market that had not hitherto been boosted in | price, and now poultry is selling at from half a cent to two cents higher ® pound than yesterday. “Shortage in shipments” is the excuse given by commission houses, but actual figures show that an unusually large supply is in New York at present. Beef was first advanced by hungry and consclenceless speculators. The people boycotted butchers and went to the fish markets. The “Fish Trust” realised its opportunity and elevated Prices all along the line. Then the de- spairing housewives turned to poultry, which had been pointed out as a glow- ing demonstration of the failure of the war to affect many food commodities. For two or three days the speculn- tors sat back and let the people buy. Then to-day, the day of week-end marketing, when the most important purchases are made, the quotations were boosted suddenly and without valid excuse. As things now stand beef Is selling at from two to six cents more a pound than is equitable; fish is three cents a pour too high, and some one is grabbing two cents ® pound on every fowl sold in New York without the producers’ prices having been raised in the slightest. Fish also advanced half a cent, de- epite the investigation instituted by Gov. Fielder of New Jersey. Meal is up 20 cents on @ sack of forty-eight pounds, and vegetables remain 10 per cent. higher than last week. ‘The only cheerful news of the day comes from grain and flour head- quarters, where the speculation has been greatest and the excuses film- siest. There it was said that flour has dropped 15 and 20 cents a barrel since last night. Many speculators who bought heavily, trusting in a rising market which would impose a taz of millions upon the people of America, were caught in the rise and to-day face immense losses. The action of the flour and grain markets apparently has frightened speculators in sugar, for dealers in that commodity were uncertain to- day as to their quotations and as to sales. No one is buying, they say, and every one is waiting developments abroad. Should indications come that the war will soon end, hundreds of men who have won great sums will face ruin, as most of them immediately plunged again after pocketing their firet gain. Rice, raisins and nuts all are ad- vanced slightly to-day, with news from California that the raisin crop has practically been withdrawn from the market. The nut crop is small, and from Louisiana comes news that speculators have cornered a large part of the new crop of rice. ane CATHOLICS HOLD FESTIVAL.

Leonard Wood in a Re- Port to Secretary of War Favors the Plan. Officers of the United States Army, and in fact the United States Govern- ment Itself, are in entire accerd with The Evening World's plan, suggested editorially, to provide military truin- bng for boys. Although several officers declined to-day to be quoted, because of the President's admonition, they declared that the proposal that military disci- pline be made part of the curriculum in the public schools for boys was a splendid and a necessary one. An Evening World reporter seeking views of the army men on the pro- posed plan was referred by them to the report to the Secretary of War of Major General Léonard Wood on the military camps of Instruction for students of educational institutions, “The main object of the ec: ¥ said Gen. Wood in his report, “is to give the young men of the couatry opportunity for a short course in military training, the better to fit them to disoharge their military duty should their country ever stand in need of their services. “The benefit of these camps to <° nation is that they foster a patriotic spirit, without which a nation soon loses its virility aad falls into decay: they spread among tho citizens of the country @ more thorough knowl- edge of military history, military pol- icy, and military needs, all necessary to the well rounded education of the citizen, in order that he may forn just and true opinions on the military needs vf the country, MILITARISM I8 NOT THE SOUGHT. “The result sought is not militarism, but to make provision in some degree to meet a vital need confronting us a@ warlike but unmilitary people, de siring peace, the end that pe and prosperity may be preserve through the only safe precaution— more thorough preparation and equip- ment to resist any effort to break such peace. “The idea of these student military instruction camps has been received with most gratifying enthusiasm, not only by the students and their par- ents, but by the leading educational authorities throughout the country. I predict that if continued, as they should be, an unusual attendance, running into the thousands, and & gradual enlightenment of our people regarding the Intimate relation be- tween the military and civil depart- ments of our Government, which re- lation at the present time is not sulli- ciently understoud to be Intolligently ULT © | appreciated, “I recommend the cordial support | of the departinent ana of Congress o1 the student) military instruction camps, and that @ limited amount of financial support report, sald: “The camps will tend AS disseminate sound information con- cerning our military history and the present policy of the Government tn military matters, In addition to giv- ing the young men themselves a very considerable amount of practical mille | tary instruction, which would be use- ful to them should ever be Ex-President Taft, the report sa: declared that “the knowledge ¢ will acquire will be a vory bere of the.

In see of the fact that there are 325,000 boys in the elementary pub- He schools of this city, practicaily all of them fit for military training suit- able to their ages, it is Interesting to note that the Connecticut State Board of Educaion in April last voted that the board direct the attention} of all Connecticut schools to the Gov- ernment's students’ military instruc- | tion camps, saying that it was “im- pressed witu the cardinal importance of courses in military training to the end that young men of the State may be fitted to meet their patriotic duty in time of war," An extraordinary tribute to the | conduct of the camps was paid by the Advisory Committee, consisting! of nine leading university and college presidents, as followa: — Hibben, | Princeton; Lowell, Harvard; Hadley, | Yale; Finley, College of the City of} ew York; Hutchins, Michigan; Denny, Alabama; Nichols, Virginia | Military Institute; Wheeler, Califor- nia, and Drinker, Lehig! This board in its views sald: “The! military instruction was thorough The discipline was strict, but the work was so well arranged that it {caused enjoyment rather than hardr |ship. We recommend these camps | to the attention of college authorities las a most important adjunct to the cducational system of the United States, furnishing the student a healthful and profitable suminer course.” Twenty yoars ago the Board of Education of New York City pro- vided for the foundation of a school- boy military called the “American Guard.” Three of ovr schools still have their soldier-students, The practice has improved and main tained discipline and regular attend- ance, Will the present boatd make the “American Guard” a legion cov- ering every one of !ts schools?

Alexander Powell, (Staff Correspondent of The World.) Copyright, 1WL4, by The Pros ubllabing Co. (The New York Werld), ANTWERP, Aug, 28.—This morning in the beautiful old Cathedral of Ant~- werp was held a requiem mass for the repose of the soul of the Pope. As the sonorous phrases of the Archbish- op resounded through the dimly lieht- ed nave they were punctuated by the boom of distant cannon. It was the German cannon bombarding that other beautiful cathedral at Malines, fifteen miles away. Reports from Malines being #0 con- filcting, I decided to motor there and see for myself. I found the outer- most Belgian lines where the infantry are heavily entrenched. The staff officers informed me the Germans had been in Malines last night and all day. The entire population had fled. When asked if it were reasonably safe to enter the city his only reply obsessed with 4 desire to see what a city of 50,000 that had been deserted in a single night looked like and anxious to as- certain the damage caused by the bombardment, I told the driver to proceed. NOT A HUMAN BEING FOUND ALIVE IN CITY, A mile outside the city we p: id the last Belgian cavalry patrol, jaunty fellows ip green tunics and ecariet breechers, Above the stcep- pitched pottery roofs of the ancient city the pinnacled tower of the fam- ous cathedral rose in majestic gran- deur, The Belgian flag, which floated from it two days ago, no ionger was there, Tho streets were so narrow it would have ben impossible to turn the car in case of rprise by ubl- ans. We entered “falines driving backward, It was a peculiar sensa- tion, creeping cautiously through the city, silent a» the deal, wondering what was around the next corner. The city was absolutely deserted. It looked as if the people had only stepped out for a moment. Not @ hu- man face; not a human voice. The only sound was the throbbing of my motor in the lonely streets, The evi- dence of bombardment was every- where visible—demolished houses with shattered windows and gaping holes in the walls, There were heaps of bricks and plaster in the streets, The Cathedral, the Hotel de Vilje and other historic buildings, so familiar to tourists, were badly damaged by the German shell fire, We backed in as far as the cathe- dral square, in the heart of the city. With my left hand I kept my feild t| glasses glued to my eyes, expecting any mol German BELGIANS PLAN TO RECAPTURE BRUSSELS, My right hand 1 kept in my pocket, and in the pocket was a large sized automatic, {t felt quite comforting. Just as we debouched from the nar- row street into Cathedral Squa shell came whining over ho and burst with a shattering crai close it. It seemed a highly auap lous moment to leave, and we did not take any lingering farewell, My driver threw in the clutch and the huge gray car leaped forward, and we fied from the shell-turn city at fifty miles an hour. In fact, we went 80 fast we hit and killed the only re. maining inhabitant of Malines, It was a large yellow doz. The wituation in Belgium ts chang.
