WHEAT CROP IN FRANCE
SHOWS YIELD TEMPER
CENT BELOW LAST YEAR.
The Beet Root Crop, Important in the
North of France, Has Suffered
From German Occupancy.

Paris.--The wheat crop, which at
the beginning of the war gave the au-
thcrities anxiety, has been safely gar
nered. The agricultural department
estimates the yield at 10000, 900 to So
100000 metric hundredweight, which
is more than 10 per cent below the
yield OF 1913.
France consumes S0,O0O,OOO hundred
weight and, since 10,000000 hundred
weight is required for seeding. the
shortage will be from 100000 to 30.-
100000 hundredweight. With the duty
on cereals suspended this shortage
Will be easily made up.
The beet root crop, which is very
important in the north of France, fur
nishing the raw material for great
many sugar relineries, has suffered
from the German occupation. The re-
fineries may be unable to work for
some time. In consequence there has
been an advance of cents per pound
in the price of sugar and the public
has been warned that further ad-
vance is possible.
Next to the beet crop, the most I'M
portant product in the region Of the
military operations is champagne. All
of the champagne provinces was TEN
orarily in the hands OF the Germans
and the heavy fighting of the battle
of the Marne extended over the en-
tire length of the wine growing coun-
try. The damage to the crop seems TO
be less than was expected.
Around Espernay in particular the
vines seem TO have been Intentionally
spared by the Germans as well MS the
French, but in other regions the ter
rible artillery fire that ragged for days
worked great havoc among the vine
yards. Some reports indicate that
around Rheims the crop is entirely
lost. while further south it has sui
fered comparatively little.

MEXICO.
Be Dominated by Rebel General
Huerta Comm ssioners Arrested.

New Iork-Gen. Eulalio Gutierrez.
who was elected President of Mexico
at the recent Aguascalientes Conven-
ton, has been imprisoned, according
to a telegram said to come from Gen.
Venustiano Carranza and made pub
lie here Sunday night by the Mexican
bureau of information, the same
agency that Saturday night announced
Gutierrez had repudiated the acts of
the convention electing him.
The telegram accredited to Gen,
CarranZa did not say where the new
President had been captured or where
he was believed to he incarcerated.
The reason for the seizure and con
finement OF Gutierrez, the message
said. was that he had refused to be
dominated by the demands OF the villa
faction. The telegram follows:
Il wish to inform you that Gen. Gu
tlerrel, who ropudiated the Aguascali'
cntes convention and the villa
clique, has been captured by General
villa and imprisoned The reason for
the action was because he failed to
live up TO the dictations and demands
OF the villa people.
II wish further to inform you that
consider the actions of the conven-
tion as farce aud for that reason
alone | am forced not to recognize its
actions.
THE convention. which was domi-
mated by Nillaistas and rcactionnrics,
failed to accomplish the task set out
TO do.
Instead of working out set OF
regulations and rules by which Mex
leo might attain it's normal conditions
Of peace and prosperity, they appoint

would not follow the dictates Of villa,
