Expectations of the grain trade are for a larger business, as the new style of trailing Is to become effective April II. It is the general belief that the bulk ow the trading will be In the July delivery. On the present basis of cash corn, Sl.S for No. 4. which la deliver able at IS S per cent moisture test, this price la relatively low and would not permit any hedging.

Four and a half yeara previously I had entered Germany aa the protege of Miss Mary Garden. She waa to have come to me In August, 1)14, to bear me alng and decide If 1 waa ready to make my debut. War prevented her coming. German wrath over America's supplying the allies with ammunition then aeemed likely to cut short my operatic career. In Berlin, but agents urged me to aay, and stay I did. even after America bad broken off diplo matic relatione. I waa asked to sing Eenta In "File gende Hollander" and Brunhllde in Walkure" in Berlin. My director said, I'll risk It." A few days before the first performance came America's decla ration of war.

Meanwhile operatic agents urged me to remain In Germany, though I was eager to start for home and applied In Munich for permission. The military authorities granted It with a willingness that surprised my German friends, so I was in great spir its, o. th delusion! I had not reck oned with the German police. I sent my belongings.

I aold two dresses, painted water color and sold those. a cold room I worked with stiff hand and In fura all through Decembe making pictures of Springtime an sunshine. In that way 1 supported my self after a fashion, paid my bills, an kept my courage up. At last, thank to help by the Spanish Embassy and two prominent Germans, one of whom was my host on the big estate. I se cured a new passport after the officials had looked up my whole history i Berlin and the Munich officials had ob talned five copiea of my photograph along with my finger print. How I dreaded what might happen at the frontier! When my fellow trav elers learned that I was a "feindliche auslanderln" (enemy alien) they said "Astonishing! How did you get per mission to leave the country? You're in for a fine peck of trouble at th frontier." 1 Inspecting Ike Passports. Alighting from the train at Llndau we were all taken in charge by an of ficer and led to a board shanty, where each traveler gave up his passport an received a numbered card in exchange. I could hear the Lake Constance steam boat whistle the steamboat I had ex pected to take. As passport after pass port was vised, an officer .called out the number. When my own turn cam was told, "Sorry, but we haven t tim to attend to your case now. We will see. Come again In the afternoon. This I did. At one end of the shanty waa small room. An officer ushered me into It, There I saw five or six officers in field gray uniforms with paper and pencils In their hands. One asked m very Brusquely to spell ray name as suming, I suppose, that if I was trav slang under an alias I would probably misspell it in my embarrassment. bad to spell my name to each officer in turn before they were satisfied. All their talk was in German, though German officers know English, and the talk consisted of questions, questions, questions. Still Farther Inspection. Then an officer took off my hat and looked inside it and felt of my hair, after which he removed my furs, long coat and sweater, and took my hand bag and examined them all most care fully. I waa especially" anxious about 1 superb gold watch fob given me by Miss Garden a very heavy one, con taining a lot of gold. People in tier many said: "You'll never succeed in getting that fob acrosa the frontier. They let Jewels through, but they stick at gold. Germany wants every ounce The officer examined the fob. My heart was In my mouth. Noticing the Jewel at one end." he said: "Is there anything inside that?" 1 told him no, and he let me keep it. I don't pretend that I enjoyed It all. There was a world of sincerity In that cry, "Thank God!" when I got aboard my steamer. Also a certain ring of triumph, I may confess. For, while German officialdom had made sure that I carried no ponderable contraband out of Germany, I had with me any amount of Imponderable contraband. This carried in my head newa of German disloyalty, German dlsheartenment, German Buffering. Ah, the length and the breadth and the depth of that aufferlng! "Don't tell!" my acquaintances in Germany had said. "Don't go home and tell!" was dangerous because I might. And certainly shall.

April Y Formal an nouncement mas made today by the War Industries Board of Its functions and policy under th broad powers delegated by President Wilson under bich the board and its chairman, Bernard M. Barucn, virtually will con trol the production and distribution of every commodity essential to the prose cutlon of the war. The recently appointed requirements division with the central directing agency through which the policies of the chairman are to be carried out will obtain the raw materials and finished products needed by the allied pur chasing commission and the various purchasing agencies of tho Govern ment. These agenclca will submit statements of their reserve needs as far In advance aa poeslble.

The purpose of the board will be to guide and assist the departments through proper allocation of materials. Anticipation of the prospective needs of the supply departments of the Gov ernment 'and the allies aa far In ad vance as possible will be an important function of the requirements depart ment, Requirements will be referred to the proper commodity section on which there mill be representatives of each of the supply departments of the Gov ernment aud the allied purchasing turning ahead of his clock.

Nobody believed that our train would ever really reach petrograa. in case it waa stopped I had made up my mind to walk, so I was extremely grateful for every mile that we covered, it was a ridiculous Journey, more like something out of an extravagant play than anything in real life. Next to my compartment was a Gen eral, super-refined, painfully neat, with waxed mustachios. There were sev eral monarchists, a diplomatic courier, three aviators of uncertain political opinions and. further along, a number of political exiles who had been held un in Sweden for a month and were the last to return at the expense of the new government. Rough, almost ragged, soldiers climbed aboard con tinually. looked us over and departed. Often they hesitated before the Gen eral's door and regarded him sus. plciously; never at any time did they honor him with the slightest military courtesy. He sat rigid in his seat and stared back at them coldly. Every one km h M- HPl hi 1 W il 'M fell 'I J ' uiii Always Take Your S. & H.

The next rumor had It that iterensKy had been murdered and all Russia was in a Danlc: in Petrograd the streets were running blood. The returning ex lies looked pale and wretched. So this, then, was their Joyful homecoming! They sighed, but they were exceedingly brave. "Ah, well, we will fight It all over again! they eald with marvelous determination. I made no comments. I was conscious of an odd sens of lone liness; I waa an alien in the strange land. Russia Money Refused. At all the stations soldiers were gath ered in little knots of six and seven talking, arguing, gesticulating. Once big, bewbiskerea mujiK tnrust nis head in a car window, pointed menac- ngly at a well-dressed passenger and bellowed interrogatively "Bursnwee Bourgeolse). He looked very comical, yet no one laughed. We had become so excitea we couia scarcely keep our seats. We crowded into the narrow corridor, peering out at the desolate country, reading our papers and conjecturing. All this confusion seemed to whet our appetite. At HeLsingfora we saw heap ing dishes of food in the railway res taurant; a boy at the door explained the procedure. First we must buy little tickets and then we could eat as much s we pleased. To our astonishment the cashier refused the Russian money, which we had so carefully obtained be fore leaving Sweden. Republic Hoped For. 'But this is ridiculous!" I told the cashier. "Finland is part of Russia! Why shouldn't you take this money? Flames shot up in her eyes, "it will ot long be part of Russia!" she snapped. "Finland shall be a republic Here was a brand-new situation. How ist they came. now these complica tions. Feeling completely at a loss, we trolled up and down, complaining bit' erly. Once we found we could not buy food, our hunger grew alarmingly. We ere saved by a passenger from an other car, who had plenty of Finnish marks and, was willing to take our rubles. At Wiborg we felt that the tension was deep and ominous. We were sud enly afraid to inquire the news of the crowds on the platforms. There were literally hundreds of soldiers, their faces haggard in the half light of late fternoon. The scraps of conversation e caught sent shivers over us. "All the Generals ought to be killed!" "We ust rid ourselves of the bourgeolse!" No, that ts not right." "I am not in favor of that." "All killing is wrong. A pale, slight youth, standing close I beside me, unexpectedly blurted out in sort of stags-whisper: "It was ter- I rible. I heard them screaming!" Fifty Officers Killed. I questioned him anxiously: "Heard I hom? Heard whom?" "The officers! The bright, pretty offi cers! They stamped on their faces with heavy boots, dragged them through mud. Threw them in the canaL" He looked up and down fearfully, his words coming in Jerks. "They have Just I finished it now, he said, still whisper ing. "They have killed SO and I have heard them screaming. . . '' Once the train moved again we pieced together our fragments of news and made out: . Early the day before had arrived messages from Kerensky, ordering the troops to Petrograd to defend the city. The officers had received the messages. nut remained silent and gave no orders. I The soldiers had grown suspicious. They I mumoiea togetner and their mumbling naa become a roar. At some one a sug gestion they marched In a body and eearcnea lor the messages. The mes- aaarea were iouna. xneir worst 6us-1 piclons were confirmed. Rage and re venge swept them away. They did not stop to separate innocent from guilty. ine,omcers were sympathisers of Kor- nlloK; they were aristocrats; they were enemies or tne revolution! In quick. wna anger taey aeait out terrible pun- inn menu The details of the massacre were ex ceedingly ugly, but no description of mine is necessary. Everv . Russian writer who has ever written about mob I violence has described the swift ter-1 ribleness of these scenes with amazing frankness. Most of us realized that the most serious of all dissolution and re- I volt Is military mutiny, and our hearts I fluttered at the unutterable possibili ties. We were Interrupted in our reflec tions by a wail from tho Russian cou rier who now found himself in curious I dilemma. "What shall I do?" he asked of us dismally. "I have been nearly month at sea and God knows what has happened to my unfortunate coun try in that time. God knows what happening now. If I deliver my papers I to the wrong faction, it will be fatal! It was past midnight when we stop- I ped at B loos trav. It was the last I station. We were so certain all along that a would never get to Petrograd j other. As our names wers called we submitted our passports, answered questions, wrote down our nationality, our fathers' nationality, our religion, our purpose in Russia and hurried to unlock our trunks for the impatient soldiers. The officers startled us by beginning sorts of ordinary things. We protested as much as we dared. In explanation they replied that a new order had Just coma in prohibit ing medicines, cosmetics and what not. Next to me In line was an indignant princess, whose luggage contained many precious "aids of beauty," all of which had already been passed hur riedly by bashful censors and customs officials many times before. But that unreasonable new order upset every- thlng; rouge sticks followed rare per- , . fumes. French powder, brilliantine, hair dye all were roughly thrown into a great unpainted box, a box whose contents grew rapidly' higher and higher, a box that had the magic power to change what was art In one's hand hag into rubbish In Its insatiable maw. The prinoess pleaded with the sol dlers, used feminine wiles, burst into hysterical weeping. Poor, unhappy princess of forty, with flirtatious hus band, handsome and only twenty-three! The situation was far too subtle for these crude defenders of the revolu tion. Only an old monarchist dared to be sympathetic, but I noted that he took care to be sympathetic in English, a language few of these simple soldiers understood. "Madame," he remarked testily, "there is a strong hint of stupid morality in all this. You must remem ber that to the uncultured all imple ments of refinement are considered im moral!" The husband offered tardy consola tion. "Be calm, my darling, you shall have all these things again." Unfor tunately, he would never be able to make good his promise, for In these rough days of the new regime cos metics are not considered important importations and young women ar forced to go au naturel. I arrived in Petrograd at 3 lr th morning prepared for anything but th apparent order and the deep envelop ing stillness that comes before dawn. My friends of the train soon scattered and were lost In the night and I stood there in the great station confused with what was left of my baggage. Presently a young soldier came run ning. "Aftmobile?" he inquired in a honeyed voice. "Aftmobile?" I nodded assent, not knowing what else to do, and in a moment we were outside be fore a big gray car. Iri the car was another soldier, also young and pleas ant. I gave them the name of a hotel some one had told me about the Angleterre. So we were off, whirling through the deserted streets. Here and there we encountered sentries, who called out sharply, received the proper word and allowed us to pass. (Continued Tomorrow.) W7T7 . SI -. ft g- f f i 4 a T -t 1-1 H M ft ..
