The Farmers Hold on Wheat.

There is little doubt that the bulk of the wheat
crop rests in the hands of the farmer who is holding
for rises sensational than those which have
marked the course of the Chicago Wheat Market
during the last three weeks
The farmer believes wheat will 20 higher and
he will not let go his hold until he is convinced that
the high mark has been reached. When that will be
is as difficult to predict the duration of the war
The grain grower probably is doing Just what the
average business man you'd do. He may be selfish
but it is not easy to crtcise him by trade standards
Then, also, he has become Spectator and Provi-
dental hand might restore peace in Europe and
send his wheat down from SI.I6 to Is cents bushel
It, of course, should be understood that the peo-
PIE throughout the United States to pay for the
high price OF wheat in greater proportion than the
foreigner. We consume much more wheat than we
export and -four and bread must advance to keep
pace with wheat. All of the Attorney Generals dis
rct attorneys bound to find sooner or later that
the higher price the smaller loaf or both is in
evtable. The man who sells cannot continue to do
SO at loss. The baker who pays for -four at ad-
vanced prices must force from the consumer the
same advance and his fair profit
For time at least the demand from abroad for
wheat probably will fall off in the hope that the
price may decline This will mean decreased ex-
portations which is very serious feature, because
there never was time for our own protection that
expectations should show steader increase than
at present
Our debt to Europe cannot be paid in gold at this
Juncture. Obviously the Treasury officials who now
have the additional advice of a completed Federal
Reserve Board going to permit the exporta-
ton of any gold than is positively necessary
While the Treasury is abundantly supplied with gold
a situation may be forced which makes it advisable
to hold every Eagle and Double Eagle on this side
of the Atlantic.

other products that financial supremacy can be

President Wilson and 1916.

Even though nominations of candidates for the
Presidential election of 1916 will not be made for
nearly two years, the report that the Democrats OF
at least State will in the future place them
selves record emphatically in favor of the re-
nomination OF Woodrow Wilson, will not cause SUR
prise Unless conditions change in manner that
cannot now be foreseen the nomination undoubtedly
will be urged upon him and whatever may be the
ambitions Of other members of the party it is diff
cult to imagine any serious opposition to his candi-
dacy. Declarations by few of the States during
the present year could only tend to discourage such
opposition.
1t goes without saying that President Wilson is
entitled to denomination by every consideration and
almost beyond doubt it will rest with him TO saw
whether he will again head his party in the contest
At no tipe during his administration has President
Wilson stood higher in the estimation of his party
and the people generally than at present His firm
ness and wisdom in dealing with the serious prob
lens which the European war entailed upon this
country, following quickly what now appears to
be successful elimination of his policy in Mexico,
has strengthened him greatly, and these also are
considerations which, Republicans reluctantly con-
fess, will have great influence upon the Con-
gressional elections in November
There can be no suggestion that the President
pNu ms POiieieS Will dIy tnought OF advancing
his political fortunes in 1916. His course on more
than one occasion has been calcuated-as even he
must have recognized-to diminish his popularity
at the time, though there be very little doubt
that he regained most of his lost ground through
subsequent Developments He has been in every
sense the leader of his party and has worked in
oessanty to carry out its policies and no possibility
now presents itself of successful opposition to his
denomination coming from anywhere outside the
White House.

Naval Action IN North Sea.

Though the naval action in the North Sea, re-
ported by cable from London last night was the
most important of the war thus far there is little
reason to regard presaging early engagement
involving the British and German Dreadnoughts.
Doubtless, however, they not far from the
of the fight of cruisers and destroyers reason
able assumption is that the German ships had un-
dertaken special expedition of minor charac-
tain the strength and distribution of the British feet
on guard.
England up to the present time has been re-
markedly successful in maintaining her sea COM
munication with this country but only at the expense
of ceaseless vigil in the vicinity of Helgoland and
the route to the Baltic. On the other hand, Ger
Inanys ocean traffic has been completely paralyzed
and it may be that, emboldened by successes on the
French frontier, she decided to make a survey of
the bulwarks of England's sea supremacy, with
view to future operations 1t to be inferred that
what her expedition discovered will discourage her
IRON challenge to great naval conflict until her
necessities become much greater.
Great Britain, from the beginning, has mani
tested confidence in the power of her fleets that
has inspired admiration and like confidence in the
rest of the world. When that confidence wanes or
before it is to be put to the test due warning will
probably go out to British shipping interests
While the mere contemplation of the impending
clash of the two great fleets with the suffering and
horrors that must ensue, is appalling there is now
little hope that it can be averted German successes
on land make certain the prolongation of the war,
with reasonable supposition that before the end
she will be compelled to give England battle at sea-

Utility of Auxiliary Cruisers.

The sinking OF the German auxiliary cruiser
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, converted into that
capacity from the status of North German Lloyd
passenger liner, offers costly illustration of the
limited usefulness of naval vessels of this type. 1t
is not yet known whether the vessel performed any
useful service whatever, whether she was able to
transfer coal to German warshps or whether She in
her brief career a warship, did any damage to
British commerce. In free OF enemys cruisers
ship of that type might do great service in sweep
ing the sea of commerce. but confronted by an
armored antagonist the auxiliary cruiser has little
more than her speed to save her from destruction.
Beyond the fact that the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
fell with British warship off the west coast of
Africa and was sunk no details are known of the
encounter. Why she did not run away is mystery.
All that we can say is that without command OF the
sea- the auxiliary cruiser is uncertain and terribly
expensive prop for a naval power to lean upon

Where American Aid Is Needed.

1t will be a serious reflection upon American
generosity if the appeal of the American Red Cross
for funds to be applied the relief OF the stricken
in Europe does not bring very liberal response The
announcement that contributions to the Red
Cross fund have not reached the 100000
mark-whereas the contributions for Mississippi
flood sufferers amounted to 100000 and TO aid the
work OF the Red Cross in connection with the
Messina disaster SIoooooo-shows how far short
has been the response
The so-far disappointing results must be attri-
buted to failure OF the American people to realize
the vastness of the need for American Red Cross
activities in Europe The fact that the best that can
be done must necessarily fall far short of the re-
qurements should be all the incentive for doing
everything we possibly can The Red Cross deserves
the support OF every person in the United States

Fifty years ago today a spirited en-
gagement took place between Federal
troopers and Confederate cavalry and in
fantry on the Opequon, in the Shenan-

Midway between them flowed the Ope-

road connecting the two positions, there
had been a sharp cavalry engagement

each side was ready to further contest

morning the DTlEdAt bl 'fll- NNol &c ~
