Chicago, Nov. 8.—Prospects that the
government crop report this after-
noon would show a larger yield of corn
than wee indicated a month ago, tend-
ed today to weaken tho corn market.
Opening quotations, which ranged
from the same as yesterday's finish to
Me lower with December $1.18% anu
May $1.13% to $1.14, were followed by
a material setback all around. Oats
eased off with corn. Packers buying
lifted provisions, especially pork.
Russian peace talk brought about
much increased selling of corn and led
to: decided additional downturns in
prices here. The close was nervous 1 %

! Copenhagen. Nov, 8.—Unwilling wus
timony of the irresistible might of the
British offensive in Flanders ‘is given
by Lieutenant General von Ardenne,
the military critic of the Berline Tage-
blatt, who sends from the Flanders
front .a graphic picture of the difN-
culties of the German defense. No
way, he says, has been devised to
prevent the “fire roller,” as he terms
the moving barrage, from making slow
and steady gains. He reports the Ger
man losses as heavy if an attempt is
made to hold the front line trenches
in force while a thin line adds to the
speed of the British advance.
“The sufferings of the defenders in
the front line," General von Ardenne
i writes, "composed of shell holes al-
most filled with water, are such that
‘the men must be relieved every two
I days instead of every week or ten
days as last year. The infantry now
spends two days on the firing line, two
Wsupgort and two In reserve until
“The German artillery to so numer-
I ically inferior to the British that it
is seldom relieved and, as it cannot
idig in, owing to the boggy terrain, it
must tire without cover The condi-
tions in the shell holes are such that
I men falling into the center of them
‘are lost unleas assisted. Horses
, breaking into the morass, are shot he-
cause It is impossible to extricate
! them. German counter attacks can
, traverse the fire roller only by small
. detachments in single file. The loss
