I Chicago Quotations
CHICAGO, June 20 Official notifi
cation that the food administration's
license of food merchants does not
cover the carrying of cash grain for
customers who are not licensed,
brought about peneral selling today in
the corn market. Prices declined
sharply in consequence. Big receipts I
here tended also to weaken prices.1
Opening quotations, which ranged
from 1-2 to 1 3-8c lower, with nxlj
$1 44 5-8 to $1.15 3-8 and August $1.4
1-2 to $1.46 3-4, were followed by an
additional se t back.
Oats, like corn, weakened owing 1o
the food administration notice Re
ports of excessive heat in the south
west failed to check the downturn.
After opening 3-S to 1 l-2c lower with
July 72 1-2 to 72 3-4c the market ral
lied a little but then sagged further!
than before.
Provisions dropped with grain and
hops. Houses with stockyard connec
tions were the chief sellers.
Prospects that the hot wave would
be broken tomorrow tended to prevent
any important rally in corn prices. I
The close was unsettled, 1 7-S to 4c;
net lower, with July $1 42 7-8 to 1.43
and August $1 45 7-8 to 1 Ifl
Subsequently news from Washington
relative to the licensing of stock vara
industries had a further bearish influ
encc on provisions,

Theatres
AT THE UTAH
Madame Nuzlmova has added anoth
er brilliant achievement by her won
derful acting in "Toys of Fate," which
is being shown at the Utah Theater.
The house was packed last nlht when
the curtain went up on the last show
ing uf the screen play for tho day,
and the manner in which this wonder
ful woman takes tho part of a gypsy
maid, showing the life nnJ fire run
ning through the blood of the race,
is a characrerlzatlon that is education
al as well as entertaining
"Toys of Fate," as Its name implies,
deals with the human life problem and
shows how man Is often swept about
on the conflicting currents of human
affairs but how battling for right prin
ciples brings the greatest contentment
in the end In this picture Nazlmova
is afforded an opportunity for a wide
range of acting, tho character she sus
tains being one of varying emotions
with the quick, nervous, impulsive
movements of the woman from the!
sunny clime; alBO showing the deep
nature of love and hate that intermit
tently takes possession ol her, at one
moment showing the tigress and the
next showing the angel, according to
mood and provocation.
The picture Is indeed well worth
Beelug.

PEACH DAY MAY if
BE CELEBRATED
THJSYEAR
BRIOHAM CITY. June 20. In all
probability the horticultural building
at the coming state fair will be con
spicuous this fall for the absence of
the Box Elder county exhibit The
county commissioners, lt Is said, are
opposed to expending a large sum of
money this year In placing an exhibit.
Box Elder county has been so success
ful in the past few years in winning
the first prize each year that many are
opposed to the Idea of abandoning the
exhibit. The county commissioners
are of the opinion that no exhibit
should be plac ed this year on account
of the war, as lt requires much time
and money to carry on an exhibit at
the state fair.
Peaeb Day in this city will also be
passed up unless definite steps are
taken at once to insure the celebru
tlon There is a divided opinion as to the
Feasibility of holding tho big Peach
day celebration, ami, although one
meeting ha been held to settle the
question, it appears that another pub
lic meeting will be necessary to final
j del i nline 1 he question

Pershing Reports Successful
Raids of Aviators on Con
flans Railroads.
WASHINGTON. June 20. Success
ful bombing of tho German railroad
yards at ( onflans was reported todr
In Ceneral Pershing's communique
for yesterday. Artillery activity at
various points, the repulse of an ene
my raid In the Woevre and the eupture
of more prisoners by American pa
trols crossing the Marne also was an
nounced. The communique follows:
"Section A -Artillery fighting nnd
patrolling activity were again marked
at several points. Gas was extensively
: ad in Lha Woevrt and In Lorraine.
1 n the Marne front, our patrol.-,
brought back from across the Over

EXPRESS RATE

refusing to re-open the application of
tho leading express companies for ten
per cent increase In rates so as to con

TWENTIETH INFANTRY 1
MAY BE SENT
OVERSEAS
t
SALT LAKE, Jan 20. The Twen
tieth Infantry, whlcn has been ordered
from Fort Douglas to a mlddlewes-
tern concentration camp, may become
a part of an A..ieriean expeditionary 1
force to be sent to Paly.
No official intormation on this point
has been given out, of course, but in
dications which have come from
Washington and other points lead to
the belief here that in all probability
the Twentieth will go to Italy when it
loaves this country some time In the
future for overseas service.
Dispatches from Washington have'
indicated tor some days past that tho
war department was contemplating tue 1
sending of American forces to Italy to
show to that country' and to the wonil '
the absolute unity of the allied nations'
and that the United Stales Is hand-In- I
hand with each and all of the alli I In
the great and single purpose of win
nlng the war for the allies.
Recent dispatches have Indicated
that Major-General Leonard Wood is
scheduled to take a force to 1 1 . 1 , and
information received here from var
Iouh sources would seem 10 .ndlcato(
that the Twentieth and several other
regiments of regulars now in this
country are destined to form the basis
of the forco that will go to Italy under
General Wood's command
Only a very tew of tne old army or- j
ganlzatlon regiments are still left in
this country and It Is understood thai
when the proposed force Is sent to
Italy no old regiments will be left, In
the west at least.
The Twentieth does not know yet
Just when it will leave for the concen
tratlon camp, but the work of packing;
and getting in shape is progressing a-I
1 pace, and it was stated yesterday that
It was in shape now to move any day
that transportation Is vallable. It Is
thought likely, however, that it will not
get away before next w.ek some time
As a farewell testimonial to Colonel
Alfred Hasbrouck, retiring commander
of the regiment, who goes from here to
the Philippines for duty, the officers
of the Twentieth will give him a regi
mental dinner at the Hotel Utah Sat
urday night The affair will be an
elaborate military event.
U. S. SOLDIERS
DRIVE BACK BIS
Advance Over Half Mile Forc
ing Enemy From Pocket in
Belleau Wood.
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
ON THE MARNE. June 20. (By tho
Associated Press ) The American
troops In this sector attacked the Ger
man line northwest of Chateau Thierry
I during the night and made an advance
of 5-8 of a mile, driving the Germans
back from a small pocket on the north
ern side of Belleau wood.
The Americans occupied the Ger
man positions without resistance from
the enemy, the Germans having with
drawn when the short and sharp pre
liminary artillery bombardment Indi
cated that an infantry attack would
follow.
The Germans carried their material
with them in their retreat and the
Americans therefore did not take any
machine guns. As a matter of course,
no prisoners were taken.
Ono small salient is all that the ene
my continues to hold In Belleau wood.

LONDON, June 20 By counter -attacking
all along the Piave the Italians
have gained further ground on the
Montello in the northern sector of the
river front, and also have made head
way southeast of this ride, says the
Evening Standard today.
The Austrians had been occupying a
narrow strip alons the river bank.
The Kalians drove in the Austrian line
and established themselves on the
bank of the Piave below Salctto (about
18 miles from the Adriatic). Through
the reaching of the river here, the pos
itions occupied by the Austrians have
been divided.
Accurate Italian Aim
The exactitude of the Italian artil
lery rejoinder to the enemy fire not
only had the effect of spoiling the ef
fectiveness of the Austrian artillery
aim but was responsible for the heavy
losses which are known to have been
in:lictcd upon the attacking forces.
The Italian machine gun fire likewise
produced marked effect whenever the
Austrian Infantry moved forward ac
centuating the decimation In the ranita
caused by the large gun.
Correspondent Talks to Prisoner
During his tour the war correspond
ent talked with an Austrian prisoner,
a member of a manufacturing firm
with offices In all the great world cen
ters, including New York.
"I have been fighting for forty
months," said this man, "first on the
Russian front where I had an easy
time and now here where the Italians
are making things too hot for us.
There Is no food for the people of
Austria and next to none for the army.
I had but a few pieces of bread and
potatoes before the fight and since the
fight began 1 have had none.
Army Cannot Last
"The army cannot last more than s
couple of months at the best. There
are no good officers left. We have )
plenty of ammunition but no one to
use it properly.'" , n ?
The Italian losses were compara
tively small while to the known Aus
trian losses will have to be added the -Bj
many Austrian dead which still en
cumber the wooded mountainsides.
It Is still too earl to predict that
the Austrian will not come back with
a further effort but lt is clear that in ;; !
their so far futile push they under
estimated the Italians, both as regards
their morale and general fighting er
ficieucy. ji
