BERLIN, May 18.-Uncle Sam will
son BIO feeding Germany with a spoon.
Her ability to feed herself Is steadily de-
creasing. Her population increases
$4,000 n year, and she Will eventually be
depedsnt upon us. as Is John Bull. The
first six months of last year we sold her
5000 tons OF meat, 10000 tons of rye and
$4,000 tons OF wheat
Tho farmers are objecting to these I'm
PORTS, and they want tariff. Tho truth
IL they cannot supply the nation, no mat
ter what their protection. Their soil
Is poor, and they lack the labor to work
their estates. Tho character of the en-
majority OF the people were farmers.
To-day two-thirds OF them are engaged
in professional pursuits. manufactures
and trade, and there Is steady exodus
from the farms to the cities. The farm
hands get low wages and their hours are
long. Tho factory hands work Less and
are paid moro.
Tho army has also cut down the farm
employees. According to law every Ger
man must be soldier about the time he
reaches manhood. The chief headquarters
OF tho soldiers are In and about tho cities,
and the farmers boys thus get q taste OF
military life. They refuse to go back to
the farms at the close OF their service.
and the result is that the agricultural
workers grow fewer and fewer. To-day
tho great part OF the farm hands arc
women. and much farming is poorly done.
Tho AgrarIans.
You have sen mention Of tho Agrarians
In tho newspapers. They are the chief
enemies OF American food stuffs. They
fight tho Introduction OF our pork and
would like to put a big tax on American
bread atuffs. Before came here 1
supposed these men were hard-fisted
farmers like our gra1igcrs, and that their
party was q party OF the poor against
the r1cb, OF the farmer against the mono
polist It Is not. The Agrarians are
tho mobiles OF Germany. They are land
holding classes. and their relatives many
OF whom are In office and many In tho
army.
The German empire is divided up into
large estates many OF which have been
In certain families for ages. There are
also smaller estates. but many men have
in the past lived off OF the Income OF
their farms. The most OF them are ex-
travagant and have large families de-
pendent upon them. Their sons In tho
civil and military employ are poorly paid
and have to be helped. and the result Is
II tnero Is not profit from the estates
the whole family goes hungry, metaphor
ically speaking
Again the soil Of Germany Is poor. 1t
cannot compete with our rich lands OF the
west, and tho land holders are running
behind They have mortgaged their es-
tates In some parts OF Germany to 10 per
cent OF their value and they have an
interest debt to meet every quarter.
Their only hope Is In raising the price OF
food stuffs. This means keeping our
grains out OF the markets, which so far
they have not been able TO do.
Backed BY the Kaiser.
The agra1rlans are TO some extent
backed by the Kaiser. He Is an estate
owner himself. He belongs to their class
and he knows he can rely upon them.

Major DeImar is Second Horse to
Make Two-Minute Record.
NEW YORK-The big event Fri
day at the Empire City track was the
effort of the champion gelding, Ma
jor Delmar, to beat his own record of
2:0OA and to beat the worlds rec
ord Of two minutes held by Lou Dill
lon.
He trotted most wonderful mile,
and, in a game but firing finish, shot
under the wire in record time.
After preliminary warming up the
gelding champion came out for his
trial at APO. He went around the
first turn, broke and came back. At
the second attempt he went away as
steady as a clock. and, though a slow
beginner, got to the quarter in 301a
seconds. Up the back stretch he shot
with such lightning rapidity that he
flashed by the half mile pole in SO
seconds. Then the grand stand rose
and cheeTed as the gallant son OF Del
mar flew around the top turn to the
three-quarters pole in 1:29 and came
home to the wire in 200, thus equal
ing the time of Lou Dillon.

Triple Murderer is Well Armed and

throughout this section of the state
are in horror over the acts of Thomas
Madison, charged with the recent trip
lie murder in this county. Madison
has successfully eluded both officers
and bloodhounds thus far, but it is
thought that he is somewhere in the
vicinity of Cowles, Neb., about fifteen
miles from the state line.
Word received here says Madison
is armed with two revolYers and pIen-
ty of ammunition, and that he held
up number of people, threatening to
shoot them if they told of his pres
ence in the country. He entered a
farm house near Cowles and forced
the women to give him a meal He
has stolen a team of horses and seems
to be thoroughly at home in the neigh
borhood. Officers expect to capture
him within a few hours as they say
he has only temporarily eluded them.

When a store must have more space
for new goods and is unable to borrow

it has is chock full, there is one
thing to do, and that is throw out the

sometimes when it is thought all the
space is entirely occupied, careful in

ton will produce more space. There
are counters to-day which use room,
formerly unoccupied, for holding

The Assault Upon the Jews at GomeI
Set Forth.
WASHINGTON-T following bull
letin has been posted as the state de-
partment:
THE department of state has receiv-
ed advices from the American charge
at st. Petersburg to the effect that
in the Gomel riots, in which five
Christians lost their lives, no foreign
ers or foreign interests suffered.
In view of the position taken by
the Russian government at the time
of the Kishineff affair, that the i'm
perial authorities would decline to re-
ceive foreign representatives concern
ing domestic matters where no for
eign interests wre involvd, the repol q
of the American charge at st. Peters
burg that no foreign interests were
jeopardized in the recent anti-Semitic
riot at Gomel closes the incident so
far as the state department is con-
cerned."

He says the president was anxious

The president added that he had often
been tempted to visit this section but
he was afraid his mission would be
misunderstood; that the people might
think the trip was for vote-getting.
