President Asks Editors to
Aid Country in keeping
Its Head On"
UNCLE SAM TO REAP
MUCH GLORY HETHINKS
Universe Depending Upon Amer
lea For Financial Aid as Well
as Food

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Presi-
dent Wilson made an appeal to the
press of this country through the
Washington correspondents not to
add to the tcnseness of the European
situation by publishing sensational,
unverifed statements.
He held that the United States is
absolutely prepared to meet the finan-
cial situation here, and there
is no reason for the alarm to spread
except through unfounded reports in
the papers. He also said that this
country can reap great glory in this
situation by "seeing that no one
losses his head"
Presidents Statement.
The President said
at is extremely necessary in the
present state of affairs on the other
side Of the water, that you should be
extremely careful not to add in any
way to the excitement. OF course, the
European world is in highly excited
state of mind, but the excitement
ought not to spread TO the United
States. So far rs we are concerned,
there is no cause for excitement.
There is great inconvenience for the
time being in the money market,
and in our exchanges, and, temporarily
in the handling of our crops, but
America is absolutely prepared to
meet the financial situation and to
straighten everything out without
any material difficulty The only
thing that possibly can prevent it is
unreasonable apprehension and sx-
citement.
"The situation in Europe is per-
, haps the gravest in its possibilities
that has arisen in modern times,
but it need not affect the United
States unfavorably in the long run.
Not that the United States has any
thing to take advantage of, but her
own position is sound and she owes
it to mankind to remain in such
condition, and in such a state of
mind that she can help the rest of
the world.
Sees Glory to be Reaped.
az want to have the pride of feeling
that America, if nobody else, has her
self-possession and stands ready with
calmnes sof thought ahd steadiness
of purpose to help the rest of the
world. And we can do it and reap
a great permanent glory out of doing
it, provided we all cooperate to
see that nobody loses his head.
II know from my conferences with
the Secretary of the Treasury, who
is in very close touch with the fiaan-
cial situation throughout the country,
that there j. no cause for alarm,
There is cause for getting busy and
doing the thing in the right way,
but there is no element of unsound-
ness, and there is no cause for alarm.
The bankers and business men of
the country are cooperating with
the Government with a zeal intelli-
gence and spirit which make the out
come secure

How the New Currency Bill Affects
the Farmer.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, United
States Senator Robert L. Owen of
Oklahoma, tells, as follows, how the
new currency bill benefits the farm
.er:
Under the American banking sys-
TEN, where we have had twenty-five
thousand Independent banks, each
holding it own resources, the banks
have been compelled to rely severally
upon their own cash resources, and
to keep their commercial bills as
liquid as possible, of short maturities,
easily convertible into cash. For this
reason the bankers have not been
able. consistent with such policy, to
extend sufficiently or at low enough
interest rates the class of acconlmo-
dations to farmers which the farmers
chiefly need-such as loans for fertil-
izers which would be used in the
spring and could not be paid for IN
til the crop was gathered i'm the fall;
such as for farm machinery, and such
as for the building of silos, or for i'm
provements on the farm which would
increase its productive power, al
though such loans could be wisely
made, and would be safe as far as Sc
,curity of payment is concerned.
But under the new banking and
currency system, which will provide
an open large discount market for
commercial bills, which the banks
have not heretofore enjoyed except in
a hazardous, uncertain fashion, there
will be open also for the banks a
much larger percentage of investment
loans of the character above describ-
ed
The farm-mortgage provision in
the currency bill, allowing mort
cages to be made on five-year terms,
ought to open up a farm-mortgage
market which will furnish the farm
ers a considerable amount of money
for permanent farm improvements, as
well as the investment in silos, in
farm machinery. or in fertilizers. ETC.

NEARLY 1000 LIVES LOST,
Canadian Pacific Steamer Sinks in
Fog With 1887 Souls ON Board.

The tWin-screW Canadian Pacific
liner Empress OF Ireland, carrying
1,437 persons, passengers and crew,
sunk in the darkness before dawn
last Friday i'm the 1t. Lawrence river
near Rimouski, Canada, with loss OF
perhaps 1000 lives. The vessel. bound
from Quebec for Liverpool, with n
first, 205 second and 504 third-class
passengers, was cut wide open by the
collier Storstad and sank within 20
minutes in 10 fathoms of water. OF
those saved the majority were mem
.bers of the crew or from the steerage.
Many were badly injured, and 20 died
after being picked up.
The crash occurred about 2 o'clock
Friday morning off Father Point,
village brought into prominence when
DR.. Crippen, London murderer, was
caught The collier bound for Quebec,
struck the Empress of Ireland on the
port side about the middle of the ship.
She literally tore her way back almost
to the liners screws, leaving a rent
through which the water poured in
such a deluge that she sank before
many Of the passengers were aware
OF what had happened. Brief wireless
calls for help sent out by the Marconi
operator were heard by the pilotboat
Eureka followed by the Lady Evelyn,
IA mail tender, put on forced steam
and made all speed for the spot 1t
was these two boats that found af1oat
the few lifeboats that were launched
from the stricken ship and picked up
the survivors they contained. Three
hundred and thirty-nine were saved
by the Lady Evelyn and 60 by the
Eureka. Of the party of 140 Sal
walton Army members on board, only
20 were rescued. They left Quebec
Thursday bound for the army's inter
national conference in London. So
quickly did the Empress sink that
get into the lifeboats found them
selves CARRIED only in their night
clothes No baggage was saved. The
condition of the survivors was pitt
able Some had broken arms and
legs, and all suffered terribly. l.. Z.
Gossetin. a prominent lawyer Of
Montreal, saved himself by clinging
to a raft.
Night, fog and suddeness all lent
horror to the accident which came in
as startling a fashion as did the great
disaster that sank the Titanic, accord
ing to reports received. Screams
Of women and shouts OF men rang out
through the night as the Storstad, low
lying and heavy laden, came out of
the night murk and smashed head on
into the Empress.
When the rescue ships docked at
the station, the platform was converted
into a hospital and the townspeople,
bringing food and clothing. united in
a common effort to aid the sufferers.
Twelve bodies with faces covered, lay
side by side on the wharf. They were
passengers who made the lifeboats,
who were fatally hurt.

FARM NEWS AND VIEWS,
A Good Thing About Alsike Clover
Care or Trees,

According to DIR. III. y. Wheeler, the
most striking, and also the most val
liable feature of the alsike clover, for
many purposes, il it, perennial char
acter, for the plants live from year
to year. This fits 1t especially for
pastures or for land which is not to
be heavily fortified with nitrogen.
and where one wishes to retain
clever consecutively for series Or
years. For moist soils alsike clover
is much superior to the red clover. a
point often Of material importance
in connection with the culture or
lands which are imperfectly drained.
The seed OF alsike clover is consider
ably smaller than that of the red
clovers, and consequently the amount
of seed used per acre TO insure an
equally good stand may be material
ly less.
