Taking the country over, Reynolds

account of late spring.

in the south half; early hay crop good,

FORECAST OF HARVES SHOWS MILLIONS OF
TONS MORE FOOD THAN IN 1913

TONS MORE Foo
Europe's armies may starve to
death.
But that's Europe's own fault.
We live in the United States, the
most prosperous and fertile country
on the globe, where the crops are al
ways big and this year are bigger
than ever!
We can't starve. That is, we can't
unless we permit the food hogs to
corner the supply, hold it until Europe
will pay three prices for it, then ship
it over there or make us pay the
same eXorbitant war prices.
President Wilson isn't going to per-
NIT this, they say. Neither are the
people of America.
The food hogs needn't tell us that
food prices must naturally go away
up above the present high figure.
Naturally" they will if the hogs are
allowed to dump our. home grown
food into cold storage and hold it
till Europe and the American people
r compelled by hunger to pay dou-
BILE and triple the present price.
The first important estimate of the
fall harvest came in today. 1t was
made by the travelling experts-a
hundred or more of them-employed
by George Reynolds, president of the
Continental Commercial Bank of
Chicago, the second greatest bank
in America.
Reynolds experts don't sit in city
offices. They travel all summer
around the farms of the whole coun-
try.
Here are their estimates of the 1914
harvest:
Wheat, bushels ....... 100000, 900

Goethals,g governor of the Panama
canal zone. today reiterated his re-
quest that two torpedo boat destroy
ers be sent to canal zone waters to
prevent violation of neutrality thru
the misuse of wireless and taking on

Because of the confidential ma

IL public He Issued this statement:
The substance of the dispatch il
that in Colonel Goethals judgment
the misuse of radio communications
within canal waters and the pre-
venticn of the misuse OF these waters
as base of supplies, require the
presence of swift moving ships Of
the variety mentioned. Since the
questions involved require the con-
sideration of the state department
and the navy department as well as
my own. | have taken the matter up
with the other departments and as
soon as the requirements are fully
ascertaired. proper action will be
taken TO meet them
Secretary Garrison declined to dis
cuss the situation in the canal zone
or to indicate which of the lelliger-
ents was violating the neutrality Of
the United States.
1t is known, however, that the
Australian collier Malliha, which re-
Gently lett Balboa without clearance

Principally. Secretary Wilson's re-

Dor disputes the department Gas sue
cessfully mediatel during the last
year and it defines at some length
the principle upon which the depart
ment acts in such cases. OF the me-
diation and conciliation work the
report says:
"Of all the functions OF the r.
partmcnt of LABOR which it is yet
possible to administer, this one may
be reasonably regarded as the most
important. Suggesting with refer
ence to labor disputes IA development
of diplomatic duties in the Depart

Primarily the Department of La
Dor must conserve in industrial dis
rutes the interests of the wage earn
ers of the United States. Such is its
duty under the law of its creation,
the first section of which charges it
with responsibility for their general
welfare while the eighth makes this
responsibility specific as to labor dis
putes. And those interests are eX-
ceptional in their magnitude. Not
only do wage earners constitute in
number more than third of our to-
tai population, but in financial re-
spects also their aggregate interests
are vast. 1t is doubtful if any voca-
tional interests represented in our
governmental system exceed in vol
ume or public Importance those of
tile wage earners of the United
States.
But though the Department OF
Labor represents primarily the wage
earning interests in labor disputes,
its ideal is to make its representa-
tion similar in character to that of
the Department of State, which,
while representing the interests of
this country in disputes between it
and other countries does SO with
fairness toward all countries. Ac-
cordingly the policy of the Depart
ment of Labor, though it executes its
mediation and conciliation functions
as the governmental representative
OF waee-earning interests. is to do so
without partisanship or prejudice.

concerned. 1--WE
1T should be understood. there

CARRANzA ISSUES EDICF TO U.S.,
IN REGARD TO NAC0 SITUATION

Washington. Dec. l4-General |
CarruIza, through Consul Canada at
Vera Cruz today formally advised the
state department that any use by
force by the American troops at Ma
co, Arizona, in ths'r efforts to keep
Mexican bullets from American soil
will be considered an act OF hostil-
ity, however well disposed the gov
ernmCnt may be.
This agrees with the general S
statement at Vera Cruz Saturday.
Rciteratins his previous state
ments, Carranza says General Hill
has controlled his fire and that he is
sending instructions anew to the So
nora commander to avoid any firing
that would endanger those across the
American border. Tie deplores that
Americans have been killed and
wounded but suggests that these ac-
cidents have been due to carelessn ess
on the parts of the Americans or i'm
prudent curiosity and cites similar
instances when Madcro besieged
Juarez and Americans endangered
their lives by seeking points of want
age in Ell Paso from which to view
the fighting.
Finally he points out that the DO
sition of Hill's troops, who are sta
toned with their backs to the Amer
lean frontier is such that it would be
impossible for their fire to enter
American territory and that consc-
quently any shots from the American
side would be direct aid to the Villa
forces.
