CHICAGO. Aorll 22 It was a remark
ably acti ve day for both wheat and corn.
Futures In the more expensive cereal weak
ened a little at first and then turned stronff
with the coarse grains. A number of huge
buying orders executed through commission
nouses were instrumental in noisting corn.
but not a little of the upturn was due to
stop loss coveting on a large scale. ine
corn bultre began at the opening session
and suffered no Important setback, al
though the top figures were not fully main
tained. Kr porters showed themselves nim
ble in picking up offers, obtaining ten boat
loads here ea-r-lnol v nt IT nt tha seaboard.

In wheat an array of bearish news
started a lot of short selling- early, but most
of the od era tors who took such a course
switched later in somewhat excited fashion
to the buying side. May wheat was neia
tlgltvt most of the time. Indicating appar
ently that longs were using that option, as
well as the corn strength, to make a mar
ket for new crop futures. The closing tone
was firm. High and low figures ror May
were ftlSc and iMi-e. with last sales at
Ulc. a net gain of uc. Compared with
last night. July and September finished
with an advanoe of only a shade.
Good . weather and fine crop prospects
tended to hold back oats, despip the Influ

Emmanuel with great ceremony at 3
o'clock this afternoon. It is considered
the most artistic and best arranged of
the entire show and thoroughly Illustra
tive of contemporary American art. The
exhibits number 600 and include oils, wa
ter colors, black and whites and sculp
tures by leading artists.
Among the exhibits Is a portrait of
Cardinal Agliardi by Carroll Beckwith,
which was painted especially for the oc
casion. The Cardinal feared that Vati
can susceptibilities might be hurt if the
portrait were included in an exhibition
organized to commemorate the over
throw of the temporal power of papacy,
but the Pope willingly granted the ne
cessary permission. He said art was
entirely independent of politics.
The likeness of Cardinal Agliardi is
not the only one of the kind in the ex
hibition. Portraits of Leo X3II. and Car
dinal Rampolla are already conspicu
ously displayed in the Hungarian pa
vilion. In addition to these reasons for
the attitude taken by the Vatican, Is
the consideration that the American pa
vilion is looked upon as extra-territorial.

UNI GUARD BACK
One Says Maneuvers Alone
Did Not Cat! Troops.
100 SHELLS GIVEN EACH
Major May Declares Distribution ot
Cartridges at Border Is Signifi
cant Six Oregon Militia
Oficers Return.
Major John L. May, of the Third Reg
iment, Oregon National Guard, one of
the militia officers sent to the Mexican
border to participate in the Regular
Army maneuvers, scouts the idea that
the American troops were concentrated
on the Mexican line for the purpose of
gaining experience only.
Major May says that every soldier
is carrying 100 rounds of ball cart
ridges in his belt. When the soldiers
are stationed at forts only the men on
guard are given ammunition and only
to the extent of five rounds each. He
also considers as significant the fact
that the Pacific fleet was concentrated
at San Diego and that all the vessels
kept up steam, ready to get under way
at a moment's notice.
Major May has just returned from
San Diego. He was one of a detail of
five officers from the Oregon National
Guard. The others, who have also re
turned, are Major C. Hammond, of Eu
gene; Quartermaster Frank L. Cham
bers, of Kugene; Battalion Adjutant
Clarence Hotchkiss, of I'ortland, and
Captain Carl Abrams, of Salem.
Blues and Keels Matched.
"We arrived at San Diego April S
and were sent to Grossmont, somewhat
closer to the Mexican line, the same
day. Our baggage allowance was cut
down to active service requirements.
National Guard officers were present
from Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Montana,
Oregon, Washington, California, New
Mexico and Arizona, 37 in all. f The
total muster of the regiments repre
sented by these officers is 26,000 on a
peace footing. We joined the Eighth
and Thirtieth Infantries, which had
been in the field for some weeks.
"Each of us was assigned to an offi
cer of equivalent rank of the regulars
and during the two weeks that we re
mained splendid opportunities were
given us to add to our stores of mili
tary knowledge. On April 5 we pitched
camp and learned something more of
camp sanitation. The following day
there was a 17-mile practice march,
which was followed the next day by
maneuvers, the men being divided into
two squadrons, designated as
Blues and Reds. The Reds,
consisting of one battalion,
were intrenched in the hills. The
Blues, five squadrons, were supposed
to be advancing from San Diego, de
stroying the railroad as they came.
Part of thoir duty was to dislodge the
Red, in which they were successful.
Typhoid Vaccine Taken.
On April 9 the soldiers were inocu
lated for typhoid and we remained In
camp that day and the next. The Gov
ernment has been experimenting with
Inoculation for several years, find
ing that five per cent of unlnoculated
men are susceptible to the disease.
while the percentage of those who take
it after inoculation is less tnan one.
This was the first time, however, that
soldiers were Inoculated on a whole
sale srale.
April 14 there was a march to Flynn
Springs, a distance of 14 miles. Re
turning the next day there was another
aneuver, the Idea being to demon
strate advance and rear guard work.
We were theoretically marching
through the enemy's country. Scouting,
flanking and patrol work wag neces
sary.
The days following were devoted to
brigade drill, a repetition of the
maneuvers of April 8 with the posi
tions changed, forced marches and en
trenching. It took the soldiers only a
few hours to throw tip a line of breast
works from a mile ta a mllo and half
in length.
"The men of the Eighth and Thir
tieth Regiments are now in the best of
condition physically, fit for almost any
kind of campaigning. To express it
more freely they are as hard as nails."
