War in Europe to Cause World Wide

The greatest wheat area in the

1915 harvest on account of the Euro
pean war, says Charles NJ. Dougherty,
statistical expert of the bureau of crop
estimates of the Department of Agri-
culture. in a report just made public.

declares Mr.. Dougherty. "a worldwide
tendency exists to increase the acreage
Of wheat. Doubtless the most extern

Will be seeded during the present au-
tumn and coming spring. A prospec-
tive heavy demand for this important
food grain by the importing countries
Of western Europe is likely, If seeding

stimulus to sowings of both winter and

and to those sowings now being fin

ment on the militia.
The name of the major isn't i'm

The name of the paper isn't i'm

But the fact that it can be done is
one of the most important things that
could be announced. It shows with
what indifference violation of consti-
tutional rights is perpetrated and sub
mitted to.
