RAISE FOODSTUFFS
Whatever Happens, Food Is Never a
Superfluous Luxury.

Live men must cat, no matter what
else may happen. Food must be had
for 1Oo,OOOOO0 population of this country.
with much to spare for another 100000
000 at least, In the countries now at
war.
Only one European country among
those now working mutual destruction
of the ordinary means of living produces
enough food for itself, even in time of
peace. Whatever may be the outcome
of the war, there will be an immediate
demand for food. a demand that will in
crease the longer war is waged, a de-
mand that is likely to end the war.
With all channels OF supplies from out
side closed. with half a dozen nations in
the condition rapidly taking form In
Europe, we may look for a simultaneous
movement in all the countries by the men
and women not in the fghting ranks for
enough food to keep them alive. They
will not ask why food Is scarce: they
will not hesitate to take it wherever 1t
may be found.
The armed forces may possibly be
compelled to turn their weapons against
their own people in riot and rapinu un-
paralleled in history. in the opinion OF
the Manufacturers Record
Famine will put an end to fighting.
Then will come the call upon this Coun-
try for food. II we have abundance,
the call will b6 answered. with no dis
trcss on our part. If we have short
age, or If we have only sufficient for
our own necessities. the response to the
foreign demand will be made. at the ex-
pense Of our own people. We must
have no shortage.
We must plant corn, using corn gem
orally for foodstuffs. Our farm puss-
bilities have by no means been exhaust
ed. The United States has l,141.SOO 900
acres of land suitable for titled crops
and 361,570,0OO acres suitable for nom
titled crops. We are tlling only 312.-
100000 acres. something more than one
fourth OF the possibilities, and little of
our titled area is producing up to its
potentialities. The present emergency
Is the opportunity foI a return in this
from town to country. Fore
handed farmers are to be the busiest
class OF producers in this country during
the next two or three years. Let all |
possible attention, North. South alsl
West. be centred upon producing food
stuffs.

tember q, a special Made in America
Trade Expansion Edition"
Fundamentally, ~the condition Of
American business Is sound" said Brown
today in explaining his plan. THE new
financial system is being worked out on
sound and liberal linesj we are at peace
with every nation in the world including
Mexico. The great war opens wide the
doors Of American business opportunity.
The only danger we face is that of
apathy. It requires only characteristic
American sggressiveness and confidence
to enable us to reap a harvest Of bust
ness and trade.
I'VE have not awakened to our oppor-
tunitics. 1 believe the newspapers OF the
country with their all-powerful influence
could cause this awakening by uniting on
September % in publishing these trade
expansion editions. in which the business
opportunities of their particular cities
and territories arc fully set forth.
"1n these special issues the merchants
Of their respective cities should agrees
sively advertise made in America

ARMY WITHDRAWAL
FROM VERA CRUZ
PLEASES GEN. VILLA
Sends Telegram to President
Wilson to Express Salts
faction at u. S. Move.
Mexico City Quiet.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Tn a personal
message to President Wilson today, sent
from Chihuahua, General Villa expresses
his satisfaction at the order for with
drawal of the American troops at Vera
Cruz The Villa telegram reads:
II have received with supreme pleasure
and great satisfaction the information
that the American forces now stationed
at Vera Cruz will shortly leave that port.
l am impelled to present to you, in my
name and that OF the Mexican people,
our most cordial congratulations for this
action. All the actions dictated by the
American Government, of which you are
the distinguished head respecting all mat
ters connected with our country, faithfully
have interpreted the sentiment and as
pirations of the patriotic Mexican people.
l respectfully salute you as the gen.
eral-in-chief of the division of the North"
There is peace and quiet in Mexico City
and the capital has settled down to its
normal civic life, according to advices re-
ceived at the White House today. Re-
ports that 100 policemen had been exc
cuted were branded as false, while the
activities of General zapata In the south
were declared greatly exaggerated
Order Is being maintained 1t was said,
and confidence is rapidly being restored.
Reports of riots in the streets of the
capital, the dispatch continued, were
merely street brawls between excited in
dividuals who were promptly suppressed
by the police. The reported suspension
of the decree OF amnesty was put In
effect only in the cases of those who are
still plotting against the Carranza gov
ernment. The Federal troops, the dis
patch concluded, were rapidly being mus
tered out.
The White House received two rude
iolts, however, shortly after the reassur-
ing dispatch from the Mexican capital
was received at the executive Office. The
first was delivered by the Rev. Louis J.
O. Hearn, OF the Catholic University, who
represents the Catholic bishops in all
matters pertaining to the Catholic chap
lains of the army and navy. He pre-
sented a telegram from Chaplain Francis
p. Joyce, dated at Vera Cruz. which
read
Request transportation to Galveston
for 800 priests and nuns who will be desti-
tute on our departure and In danger"
The second shock came when Repre-
sentative Garner, OF Texas, called at the
War Department to protest against the
of any Federal troops from
the Mexican border.
Acting Secretary of War Witherspoon
received the complaints and forwarded
them to Secretary Garrison at Seabright.
