SUFFICIENT WHEAT IN GREAT BRITAIN ID LAST FOUR MONTHS Outlook Is Better This Year Than It Has Been for
 Years FOREIGNERS GUIDED
 BY INTERPRETERS Stationed at Railroad Terminals-One Speaks Six Languages-Uster Nationalists and Volunteers
 Observing Truce
By PHILLIPS EyERETTE

London August 22.-(Special.)-ln times of war the inadequacy of Great Britain s home resources is always forcibly brought vividly before the eyes of the inhabitants of these compact little isles. The stag gering situation in which the country has lately found itself is, of course, without precedent in the annals of history. but there is one grain of comfort in the an- nouncement by the board of agriculture that the outlook for the wheat crop is better than it has been for many years. The acreage finder cultivation was 1 per cent greater than last year and there is no doubt that the final yield will be more than it has been during the last decade. The official estimate places the yield at some 100000 quarters.
 After deductions for seed and taking stocks into account-on which an inquiry conducted by the board has just been completed--there is now in the country sufficient wheat to supply the whole pop ulation for about four months. This al lows for the normal rate of consumption and 1t is irrespective of all future inn ports.
 Foreigners Find Progress Easy
 Since the beginning of August, when the ss stem of having nspector-interpreters at all the big London termini was instituted
 
 eign visitors have found 1t the simplest matter in the world to get all the infor- nation they required in their own tongue The innovation has been an instantaneous success. When the first war broke out between Austria and Servia and later when the German and French reservists were hurriedly rushing to the continent the interpreters were working at top pressure in the stations but not exactly as the bus company intended them to work
 The porters were of no conseauence when the interpreters were around. The Joke IS that they were put at the railroad depots to catch the continental foreigners coming to this country and to tell them that they could see London through and through by taking the autobus on route No this and No. that. Unhappily for the enterprise of the companies there have been continental sightseers coming to this city for weeks past but the usefulness Of the interpreters has not been lessened
 At Charing Cross station, the main cen ter Of departure for continental traffic is a girl, pretty young blonde who has only recently come down from Girton. the most fashionable ladies' college in this country She is fluent French and Ger man hnquist and wears the uniform spe- cialiy designed for the new corps.

WAR CHECKS MANUFACTURE
 OF THE HARMONIOUS DISC


 Maxwell is another of his business asso- ciates.
 As explained by the visitors to Secre- tary Bryan, carbolie acid is used in pre- pairing the discs for the harmonious graphophone. and thousands of gallons are consumed in this line each month at the Edison plant in West Orange, N. J. Also 1t appears that carbolic acid is util- ized largely in the manufacture of high explosives, and England, from which the United States obtains its supply, has cut off the export entirely.
 To allay any timid reluctance on the part of England Edison and Maxwell of fered to give bond in any amount desired to assure the government of that country that the acid would be used here solely and simply for the preparation of the graphophone discs.

 MT. Howe appears as Professor Bunk, who rides over the falls in barrel and lis willing to do the act as many times as you like, so long as he never gets wet. This Is very funny scene and the complications that arise from 1t are said to be extremely 1aughable. The society bell is played by Miss Mildred Stoller, who is one of the most accom- plished comediennes on the musical comedy stage. The cast also embraces several people who have been seen with good effect in other productions, among them being Nettie Mclaughlin, Bernice Bartlett, Alice Poole, John Keenan, Chick Cameron. Harry F. Henry, Hal Pierson, Earl Flynn and Bill Wilson.

Edis0n's Complaint to State Department Illustrates Another Sad Feature of the Great European War.
By c. E. STEWART.

Washington. August 22-(Special )-An other dark shadow was cast over thi. country today by the European war clout when Charles Edison and Charles Max well called at the state department and informed Secretary Bryan that the supply of 'canned" music would be curtailed unless England could be persuaded to lei Uncle Sam have some carbolic acid. Edi- son is a son of the great inventor and
 
 who move to various centers as they are required. No nspector-interpreter wears less than two flags, and the record is held by genius for language who speaks fluently English, French, German, Portu- gese, Italian and Spanish. It Is stated by the companies that Esperanto may be added later.
 Ireland Is Tranquil
 Ulster and Nationalist volunteers are ob- serving the truce in spirit of unreserved loyalty to the empire. There were croak- CTS who told us that the nationalists would view EnglaEd's trouble as Ire lands opportunity, but that slur on the home rule forces has been killed by the action of the Irish party and it's adhe- rents. The shelving of the home rule question may not have pleased the ex- tremists. but there are saner forces al work in Ireland than many people irn- agine. The home rule question is generally regarded as one of internal interest and importance and it is In that light that the Irish people have taken it.
 It is hardly likely that the whole topic will come before the legislature again until such time as the situation is clear for the discussion of home problems
