proved Eastern Outlook Leads
to Heavier Buying: of Oats.
CHICAGO, March 4. Corn prica hard
ened today, influenced largely by scarcity
of good grade and by reports that the num
ber of cars available was inadequate to meet
rural needs. Futures closed firm at the
same as Saturday's finish to u higher,
with March 91.27 and May ll.-ITH. Oati
rained Suc to Hc. The outcome In
provisions varied from 13c decline to C
advance.
Despite bl receipts, demand for corn
showed urgency for the better dualities and
displayed some Improvement as to the less
dettlrable kinds. One of the leading Indus
tries, which has been out of the market 10
days, became a purchaser again. Complaints
of car 5hortage were chiefly from Illinois
and Indiana.
Persistent buying of oats took place
throughout the boss ion. Gossip was current
that a better outlet East was likely.
Packers support rallied provisions from an
early decline. The initial weakness was
ascribed to a setback In the value of hogs.
Leading Xutures ranged as follows:

T A COMA, Wash., March 4. (Special.)
After flyinp twice over the German
lines in an airplane and subject to fire
from Roche anti-aircraft Kuns and after
also being; shelled by artillery fire,
Eieutenant-Colonrl H. J. Iirees, chief
of staff of the 91st Division, arrived
in Tacoma today after spending three
months in France on a tour of obser
vation with Mnjor-General H. A. Greene,
camp commander.
Colonel Brees today told something;
of his trip and also of his flight over
the German lines once in an American
airplane and once in a British machine.
"W were about S0O0 feet in the air
anad well over the German lines when
the Bodies fired on us.
"It was the first time that I had been
under fire while being In an airplane,
andthe sensation was particularly dif
Cerent from that under te same cir
cumstances on the ground. Fortunately
the machine was not hit.
Another time we were groins; to a
position in an automobile under the
protection of a hill, and on the way the
Germans started shelling a battery
which we would pass. One of the shells
fell about -5 yards ahead of us and
spattered mud over the car."
Colonel iirees returned to camp with
a firm belief that in long preparation
beforetaki ng their positions will be
the success of the American troops.
HaRty preparation, with needless sac
rifice of life, will result only in Ameri
cans losing men and with no apprecia
ble gain.
