GERMANS WILL USE
 GREATER SECRECY
HAVE LEARNED MUCH FROM THE MOVEMENTS OF JAPANESE DUR- ING THE PRESENT WAR WITH RUSSIA.

Berlin. July 22-The secrecy with which the Japanese have screened the move ments of their armies has caused the German general staff to re-examine the methods for administering the army in time of peace or war so that intelligence even about little things shall nos become known outside of those immediately con- cerned.
 The general staff, already one of tho most reserved institutions in Germany Is to become more impenetrable. The an nual maneuvers which are to take place this year in the lower Rhine country of West Prussia, are to be conducted with much of the secrecy that would surround actual war. especially during the last days of the maneuvers when the new model portable bridges are to be thrown across the Rhine in a few hours under fire, permitting the movement of two army corps.
 Newspaper correspondents will accom- pany the troops under conditions intended to approximate those in war. The two things in the Japanese operations that seem to have impressed the general staff most were the extent and preparation of their spy system, giving the Japanese commanders certain intelligence of the numbers and locations of the Russian troops and the skill with which the Jap anese' own movements were masked.

OPPOSES STOPPING THE COTTON REPORT Secretary Wilson Gives His
 Reasons for Belief THINKS PEOPLE WANT IT Bid Speculators Would Like to See 1t Discontinued so They Could Get

THINKS PEOPLE WANT IT

Washington, July 22.-(special.)-'I do not think the crop reports ought to be abolished" said Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, q believe that the growers and manufacturers, as well as the small spec ulators, do not want to have them abol- ished. I do believe that many of the large spectators would be glad to have the government reports abolished for the reason that these large speculators can, with an outlay of say fifty thousand a year, organize effective bureaus of their own as means by which they can obtain information.
 q do not believe though that we are so near the verge of the millenium that any of these large philantropists are go- ing to give their information to any one else. I believe that what the people want Is the facts, and I believe that this in- stitution has come nearer giving them the facts than any other agency. have given Aassistant Secretary Hays full sway in the bureau of statistics and have told him he may use me as an organ grinder any time he wants. Secretary Hays may be famous after he gets through with the great work before him in the bureau of statistics, but he will probably not be popular on the exchanges and boards of trade'

HINDU LEADER IS
 ON MISSIONARY TOUR
Thinks Large Part of English Mission ary Effort in His Country Is
 Futile.

New York, July 22-P. Ramanathan, the political and religious leader of the Hindu population of the Island of Ceylon. arrived in New York on the steamer Campania today for ten months mis- sionary tour of America.
 MT. Ramanathan is solicitor general of Ceylon and a member of rich Hindu family. Although himself a Christian he is the first native of India to translate the Christian scriptures into the native language in commentaries upon the Cos pels.
 MT, Ramanathan's object in coming into this country Is not to convert Amer jeans to the Hindu religion. He believes that a large part of the English mis- sionary work in India is wasted. and the supposed converts degraded because they only sham conversion in order to secure government positions. His mis- sionary efforts here will be along the lines of securing more harmonious action between American missionary authorities and the native Hindu religious leaders.

DUKE DISCOVERS
 ARMADA TREASURE
ArgyIe's Divers Locate $2o,ooo, ,ooo In Mexican Gold and Silver of
 the Isle of Null.

Tobermory, Scotland. July 22-The Duke of Argyle has discovered the Florencia. which was the treasure ship of the Spanish Armada thus bringing to a successful conclusion the search for that treasure that has been kept up for the last three centuries by the Dukes of Ar gyle. James Cush. the famous diver. whom the Duke had employed, located the ship today off the Isle of Null. This great treasure consisted of ingots of gold and silver from La Luz District, New Spain (Mexico). La Luz Mining and Tun- rel Company. in the Pennsylvania build ing, Philadelphia, which Is operating these famous mines. was requested to give an estimate of the value of the treasure. La Luz Mining and Tunnel Cons ed out by these mines and estimates that if the bars are of the same fineness as the precious metals produced in that district today the treasure should be worth from sI70oo,0o0 to $2o,0Oo.000.
 This treasure was intended to pay off the seamen for conquering England with the Spanish Armada ana also to disburse large sums for deeds of special bravery. The Fiorencia was one of the armed gall Icons which Spain built to carry away the precious metals from La Luz mines.
 The family of Argyle has kept up the search for the F1orencia since 1642, and during the last three years divers have been at work continuously It is believed that all of the treasure can be saved. Even then the amount is small in com parison with the gold and silver that will come out of La Lug Tunnel from the very mines that gave up this treasure centuries ago.
