Two points in Mr.. Armour's interview

tins reasons he assigns FOR believing hat

mark and his predictions with reference
to changed policy on the part Of Ger
many, France and other European coi.n-
tries with reference to the admission Of

So far as cereals are concerned, Mr..
Armour believes that the people Of the
United States are masters Of the situa-
ton. All Europe is wheat hungry. All
the cereal products over there are either
short or ara total failures, and there is
no hope for the people except through the
United States. The Europeans are not
only anxious to get our wheat but they
have the money to pay a good price for
IT. 1t is for these reasons that Mr.. Ar
mour regards the rise in wheat legtti-
mate one. and It is on this condition of
the European market that the veteran
operator bases his statement that the

the farmer ought TO get that price for It.

LOOK TO AMERICA.
Foreign Wheat Crops insufficient
to Meet Demands.

A New York paper says that the
Government crop report, recently pub
lished, is of more than ordinary in
terest, because the crop reports Of for
eign countries indicate that the United
States will be called on for more than
her usual share in supplying Europe
with grain and grain products.
Russian official reports make the
wheat crop of that country the poorest
in years, and estimates Of the French
crop have been materially reduced.
Crops will be below the average also
in Great Britain and Austria-Hun-
gary. The visible supply Of Great
Britain is so low that apprehension eX-
lists there lest the home crop shall not
be available in time to meet immedi-
ate requirements.
The estimated weekly European re-
quirements Of wheat, according to
Beerbohm. commencing this season,
are $500. 900 bushels. Taking the Gov
eminent crop report as a basis J. G.

The cordiality existing between the

NERLY SWAN THE STRAITS
Peter McNally Almost Reaches
the Coast of France

the t-OaSI OF
LONDON, July 25.-Peter McNally
the Boston swimmer, who was SEIZED
uled to make an attempt to swim the
English Channel on July 4th, nearly
made the crossing yesterday. He start
ed from Dover at 1870 in the morn
ing and was in the water Is hours, in
which he swan 50 miles. He was
taken into boat at 2:30 in the morn
ing at a point three miles from Cape
Griznez, on the French coast.
McNaIly left the Admiralty pier at
Dover in the presence of a crowd of
on-lookers at 1920 o'clock, intending
to go merely for trial swim. McNally
swan steadily at the rate of one and
one-half miles an hour. At a point
four miles out the temperature was
found to have fallen from GA to So de-
grees, and the weather had become
very foggy. Six miles out the fog lift
ed and all the circumstances of tide,
and wind were so perfect that McNal-
ly announced his determination to try
and cross the channel. He had been
heading direct for Calais, but strong
westward current had drifted him TO
position nearly at Folkstone. He took
refreshment, consisting of beef extract
and ginger and long piece of Ameri-
can chewing tobacco. He swan al
most continually with a breast stroke
with occasional changes to a side
stroke for relief.
At 10 p. m. McNally began to show
signs of exhaustion, but pluckily con-
tinued at his task. From this time I'M
til a. m. the temperature of the air
gradually grew lower McNally suf-
fered severely, the swelling of his
hands giving him great trouble, while
from time to time he was seized with
cramps in his legs, neck and arms. At
2:30 o'clock he had reached a point
within three miles of Cape GriZneZ.
Here he commenced to splash wildly
and to swim in circle. He was blind
ed by the salt water. He was forcibiy
dragged into the boat.
