into the market but in it's inception it
was based on European needs and the
abundant cash wheat supplies in the
United States.
Aside from the international situa-
ton, the domestic market Is in a po-
sition to develop the maximum de-
mand. 1t is quite generally admitted
that the flour trade of the country
missed their opportunity to buy when
wheat was around 80 cents a bushel.
In the expectation of still lower quo
tations they held off from stocking up
with the result that their supplies are
abnormally low and in pressing need
Of replenishment.
From the standpoint of the produc-
the situation appears to favor the
establishment of a fairly high price
level for his wheat. Spring wheat,
especially, will not be a burden on the
market. The immediate present may
be unduIy affected by the conditions
in the worlds commerce. 1t

movement on the part Of the

AMERICANS GET
AID IN LONDON

London, Aug. 5.-A meeting of up
wards. of a thousand Americans
many of whom were those who hao
successfully Joined in the rush from
continental cities. was held here this
afternoon to take steps for the
amelioration of the condition of their
fellow countrymen.
Fred |. Kent Of the Bankers Trust
company of New York, who called the
meeting, said that this company alone
will be sending several million dollars
in gold to Europe to redeem travellers
checks and that other companies were
doing likewise.
Theodore Hetzler, of the Fifth
Avenue bank, was appointed chairman
Of the meeting and committees were
drafted to interview officials OF the
shipping companies and of the hotels,
to search for lost baggage, to make
arrangements for honoring all proper
checks and notes and to confer with
the members Of the American embassy.
Oscar Straus, who has just arrived
here from Paris, said that the United
States embassy there was working
hard to get Americans u of France.
Chandler Anderson, a member of the
International Claims commission, ar
rived in London today from Paris. He
said he was engaged with the work of
the commission at Versailles when he
was warned by the American embassy
that he had better leave France. He
acted promptly ON this advice and the
commission was adjourned until after
the war.
Some seven hundred Americans
registered at the American embassy In
London today. Many of them added
to their signatures the note without
sufficient funds" meaning that they
were unable to get their checks or
notes cashed.

his father less SO. In such times as

might be mad the basis for who shall

leaving the city within a few days,
and ms hope lay in the proverbial
that the pony would come, because the
general had said so; he hoped that It
might come too late, because some
other Mexican would have to see to
the sending of 1t. AS it turned out,
he was right; the pony arrived in due
course, but not until the diplomatist
and his small boy were already far
away from the city.
Not only do all the foreigners who

servants are devoted to him, whatever

I do not count the hours spend
In wandering by the sea;
The forest is my loyal friend,
Lik God 1t useth me.
In plains that room for shadows make
Of skirting hills to lie,
Bound in by streams which give and
take
Their colors from the sky.
Or on the mountain crest sublime,
Or down the oaken glade,
o what have I to- do with time?
For this the day was made.
Cities of nortaIs woebegone
Fantastic care derides,
But in the serious landscape lone
Stern benefit abides.
Sheen will tarnish, honey clot,
And merry is only a mask of sad,
But, sober on a fund of Joy,
The woods at heart are glad.
There the great Planter plants
OF fruitful worlds the grain,
And with a million spells enchants
The souls that walk In pain.
Still on the seeds of all he made
The rose of beauty burns;
Through times that wear and forms
that fade,
Immortal youth returns.
The black ducks mounting from the
lake,
The pigeon in the pines,
The bittern's boom, a desert make
Which no false art refines.
Down in your watery nook,
Where bearded mists divide,
The gray old gods whom Chaos knew
The sires of Nature, hide.
Aloft, in secret veins of air,
Blows the sweet breath Of song,
o, few to scale those uplands dare,
Though they to all belong!
See thou bring not to field or stone
The fancies found in books;
Leave authors eyes, and fetch your
own,
To brave the landscapes looks.
Oblivion here thy wisdom is,
Thy thrift, the sleep Of cares;
For a proud tdleness like this
Crowns all they mean affairs.

disadvantages of a free press is
that at times it provides too
about personalities; and never perhaps
has human being suffered more severe
ly from this surplus of news than has
General Huerta. The existence of one

n he loses all resemblance to a man
and becomes a monster. This Is true,
even when the facts are set out IN a
friendly spirit. When they are not, as
in the case of Huerta, the monster
loses even the suggestion of humanity.
AS a matter of fact, President Huerta
is very human, indeed-too human, II
anything-and his most human traits
have been distorted to line the mon
strous caricature which serves TO rep
resent him to the American public.
Believing only what you read, you
would picture the eneral as a klnd o.
his two overmastering passions for
loot and b%loodshed. 4 used to believe
a good deal of this, myself, before I
saw something Of the man m his
that If he lived in New York he would
probably be conspicuous only by his
success in some kind or ratner un-
scrupulous business career. Huerta Is
not an angel, and he is admittedly not
a man of high. moral, There is
no doubt, for instance, about his pro-
pensity for strong liuor. l saw him
quite recently one evening at the care
Colon, which Is one Of several of which
he is a regular patron. He was per-
fectly sober, and, after I had watched
him drink four small ponies or cognac,
he was none the less sober, talklng
and walking with perfect composure.
Yet it is a fact thai at 8 o'clock that
morning he had been seen at the Au-
tomobi1e clubhouse, near Chapultep' sc,
drinking cognac and that ne mad Deen
drinking cognac ever since, probably,
relations with the presidential circles
told me, thirty or forty ponies OF
cognac in the twenty-four hours. Ger
tainly such proves w1uad De rowE nea
circle; but it does not appeal, to In
terfere with the generals health, his
brain, or his business.
We are told that Gen. Huerta has, In
a very short time, ACCUMULATED an
even more enormous fortune than did
any Of his predecessors. Personally l
do not believe 1T and my disbelief Is
based upo the authority Of a Mexican
takes the view that the president has
only very little actual cash. His prop
erty is mostly in the form Of real
estate, much Of 1t In the City OF Mss s
until the legislative acts passed dur
ing his term of office be legitimated
by his successor, in which case only
could he hope to enjoy the fruits Of
office. I have heard, also, on very
good authority, that of the politicians

after their execution, was confiscated.
What became Of 1t afterwards I do not
know, and 1t Is never wise to believe
all you hear in Mexico.
There is one point in which the gem
Grad stands out very markedly from
the ordinary run of Mexicans. He is
generous not only In words, but in
deeds also. Every Mexican. of course,
makes a point OF putting all thar he
