NO BREAD FAMINE IN
UNITED STATES THIS YEAR

Washington, Sept. S.-There will be
no bread famile in the United States
this year. The largest wheat crop in
history has just been harvested and
according to the United States De-
rartment of Agriculture the total pro-
Guction is approximately 911,000,OO0
bushels-nearly 150,000,000 bushels
more than any previous crop produced
in the United States. We have at
least 25O,00O,0OO bushels of wheat
which are not needed for consump-
ton at home or for seed. The surplus
production of the United States usu-
ally goes to Europe, but under pres
ent conditions, caused by the Euro
pean war, this cereal cannot cross the
ocean. About 75,000,000 bushels have
already been taken for export, but
most of it is being held at the ports
of departure.
Conditions across the water are not
so encouraging. War in Europe tends
to prevent the shipment of wheat from
surplus European countries to those
which need imports, or example, from
Russia to France, and famine there
seems inevitable.

ARMIES ON THE MOVE
WEEKS BEFORE THE WAR

/ Philadelphia Record: For weeks be-
fore the actual declaration of war all
of Europe was getting under arms, ac-
oording to ex-Mayor Harvey NJ. Hol-
leman, of San Diego, who returned
from war-stricken Europe on the
Olympic several days ago and is now
visiting Harry S. Parks, 4410 Usage
avenue. The excitable temperament
Of the French is the reason assigned
by Mr.. Holleman for many of the
hardships which Americans caught in
Paris had to undergo before they were
finally able 10 reach the seacoast and
obtain passage home.
Mr.. Hollemar left New York early
in July for a tour around the world
Before his start he visited various Sen
ators and Congressman in Washing
ton who were personal friends, OBJ
tanning letters of introduction to
American ambassadors and distin-
guished citizens of various countries
which he intended to visit. While not
acting as an official representative,
Mr.. Holleman had planned to aid in
giving publicity to the exposition to
be given in San Diego in 1915 to cele-
Lrate the opening of the Panama ca
nal. This fair is TO be open about
| the same time as the San Francisco
Exposition. To these letters and his
passport Mr.. Holleman gives the cred
il for the comparatively few troubles
he had-few when compared to the
difficulties which confronted hundreds
of others who found themselves ma
rooned in a foreign land. Inability
to find foreign exchange offices in
New York open the night before he
sailed resulted in his having about
$500 IN bank notes converted into gold
at his hotel and this gold served him
we'll after war was declared and trav-
elerS' checks and express orders were
not honored by banks, hotels or other
places abroad.
Arriving in Rotterdam on July IA,
Mr.. Holleman says that during his
stay in Holland he was impressed
with the activity of the soldiery, COM
pany after company passing through
the streets of Rotterdam and The
Hague.
T-An expected street railway strike"
was the reason given by the citizens
for the display of military. A few
days later, while in Antwerp and N
Brussels, more soldiers were seen.
Their. the reason assigned was sum
mer maneuvers" On the Rhine trip
from Cologne thousands of tents lined
the banks, and the same reason for
the presence of the soldiery was given.
At Heidelberg on July u, in the ia
nous old castle, big banquet was
given, which was attended by more
than a thou sand officers of the Ger
man troops.
81 asked my guide the reason foT
the festivities" said Mr.. Hollemal
yesterday, land was told that they
were celebrating the end of the mid
die session of the summer maneuvers.
The next morning those officers left
Heidelberg to join their commands in
camp alnog the Rhine, and | am con-
fident that even then they knew what
was IN store for them, and that was
ten days before the actual decelara-
| ton of activities"

fact that at distance of six feet from
