Fragmented War News and Palm Oil Prices Report
A Chicago grain report rumor claimed surrender of four German divisions near sixty thousand troops, later uncorroborated. The war department denied the fall of Soissons but said capture imminent. Allies neared the town within a mile, risk of opening for German counterattack. Foregoing details, estimated German casualties run near fifty thousand with high casualties expected. The piece then shifts to social musings on shoe-wearing across nations, contrasting American and European practices, and concludes with a long list of Palo Alto price board figures for flour, oats, sugar, lard, evaporated milk, corn meal, tomatoes, peas, raisins, and other staples.
