July 13-After battling 100 days for

The most desperate fighting has
been along the short 10-mile front

undermining the Roundup.

Each year seems to give the auto
mobile a new hold on life. The war
brought 1t to the forefront in new
field. The soldier Of the present day
seldom makes long forced marches
like Sherman's march to the sea. He
travels by motor car AS result, the
automobile casualty list is tremen-
dous; the average life of car in the
battle line is estimated at thirty days.
But it is not only the war zone that
has lost part of its picturesqueness
through the use of the automobile,
The latter has begun to rob the an
nual cattle roundup Of some of its
thrills by replacing the horse. This
year has seen the ubiquitous car with
a cowboy at it's wheel on our western
prairies, discouraging the cattle from
attempts to escape from the eyer-nar-
rowing circle in the roundup, Many a
steer which has given COW horse a
run must feel disconnected when 1t
bucks up against the four-wheeled
steed.-Wall Street Journal.

BIG INCREASE Of
FARM PRODUCTS
Province of Alberta Shows In.
crease of Over 20 Millions.

Figures just compiled by the public
ity branch of the provincial depart
ment show that last year, notWith-
standing that quite third of the prov
ince was affected by the drought to
a very serious extent, the total value
of agricultural products actually pro
duced in the province showed an in
crease of over twenty million dollars
over that of the previous year. AL
though southern Alberta had bad
year agriculturally, the province as a
whole experienced a period of great
prosperity, due principally to mixed
farming, which is becoming more gen
eral with each succeeding year.
The value of mixed farming, in fact,
was never better illustrated than last
year as the value of the animals
slaughtered and sold alone equaled
the value of the spring wheat crop,
without taking into consideration the
value Of the butter, milk, cheese, poul-
try, vegetables, and other by-products
of the farm.

1,147,382 acres being seeded, and pro
ducing 34,397,117 bushels, or 3015 to
the acre. Sold at an average Of SOC
per bushel, these yielded a revenue Of
$17,198,55S. Comparatively little win
ter wheat was produced, the yield be-
ing a little short Of one million bush
els, but the spring wheat crop
amounted to 15,102,083 bushels, the
yield per acre being 1926. At an aver
age of $1.35 per bushel the value OF
the spring wheat crop was therefore
S20,3S7,812. The total production of
barley was 7,S47 $40 bushels, which, at
55c per bushel, yielded a revenue OF
$4,316,2O2.

The total of the agricultural prod

pared with $5S,09S,0 S4 in 1918.
The statistics also show that the
value of the live stock in the province
at the end of the year was $110,044, ;

DIPLOMATIC BREAK
NOT LIKELY, BELIEF
WILSON DOES NOT CONSIDER
GERMAN SITUATION AS
CRITICAL.
HAS CONFIDENCE IN LANSING
President Spends Hours Reading and
Rereadinq Note at His Summer
Home-Wiil Not Hurry Back
to Washington.

Cornish, n. H., July 14.-PresideEt
Wilson received from the state depart
ment the official text of the latest Ger
man note ON submarine warfare and
Immediately began consideration of
his reply.
He instructed Secretary Lansing to
prepare a memorandum in the diplo-
matte problems involved and will not
send a rejoinder until he has conferred
with the secretary Of state.
1t became known after the Presl-
dent had read the note that he does
not look upon the situation as critical,
but at the same time he is not in
clined to underestimate the POSSIBLE
tiles of the problem presented to him
and is determined firmly to uphold the
dignity of the United States
1t was said here that there was no
present plan for Mr.. Lansing to come
to Cornish to confer with the Presi-
dent and that the President will not
hurry back to Washington. His pres
ent plans are to return to the capital
the end of this week or the first Of
next week Probably he will not have
an opportunity to take the subject up
with his entire cabinet before Satur-
day OF next week.
Has Confidence in Lansing.
The President believes, it was said
here, that Mr.. Lansing can work out
his views of the situation better in
Washington, where he has all neces-
sary data and books at hand, although
there was a slight possibility that the
secretary might come here just before
the President leaves.
The German note came to the Presi-
dent by telegraph and he Immediately
went into his study at Harlakenden
house to consider it, foregoing his u.s.
ual automobile ride with his family,
although the afternoon was beautiful
In the deep seclusion of the hills
nearly half a mile from the nearest
road and in the midst Of a pine forest,
the President sat for several hours
reading and rereading the note. At
times he went over different para
graphs again and again before pro-
ceeding to the part that followed.
Several times he left his study and
went out on the porch to grapple with
some problem which portion Of the
note had aroused in his mind, his face
grave and thoughtful and his express
sion tense.
Diplomatic Break Not Likely.
Nothing was given out to Indicate
the particulars of the reply he intends
to make. That the President will con-
tinue his German policy along the line
already mapped out in the previous
notes, was generally accepted here. 1t
was understood that there is no pres
eDt prospect Of a diplomatic break
with Germany and whether there Is
any future break will largely depend
OH Germany herself There will be no
undue haste about corresponding again
with Germany, but at the same time
there will be no long delay, 1t was
said here.
That the President was able to de-
vote himself to other matters than the
situation with Germany was shown
when he played his best game Of golf
In months. Mr.. Wilson spent the eve
ming indoors with members of his fam
lily.

RESTORATION OF FEDERAL GOV
EMINENT MAY INFLUENCE
ADMINISTRATION
OFFICIAL NEWS Is LACKING
State Department Considers informa-
ton ndefnite-Looks for Consul
lar Advices Soon-Villistas Pro-
TESS Doubt OF Evacuation.

Washington, July 13.-"It looks like
Carranza," was the general verdict
of the Mexican situation.
Information concerning conditions
in Mexico City was not as definite as
the government would have liked. It
was accepted as a fact that the Carran-
zistas had occupied the capital. That
there would have been rumors of it, II
foreigners had suffered, was believed
also. Official news was lacking, how
ever The state department looked for
consular advices soon.
Carranzistas in Washington said
General De Lara, who it was stated
had been dispatched from Vera Cruz
to assume the governorship Of the Fed
Grad district, was an efficient vigorous
administrator and might be relied on
to keep or restore order, feed the peo-
pie and protect foreign lives and prop
erty.
Viliistas Profess Doubt.
The Villistas still professed doubt
Of the Zapatistic evacuation and Car
rancista occupation of the capital. At
any rate, they said, possession Of the
city was matter Of no particular
strategic Importance and even il the
Carranza forces had taken it they
would find it hard to hold-as witness
It's capture by Zapata from General
Obregon once before.
American military experts agreed on
these two points-the city's strategic
unimportance and the difficulty Of de-
Tending it.
Despite the conflicting reports it has
been the growing belief here for some
time that Villa is in a bad way. Aside
from the disorganization believed to
exist in his ranks, from d military
standpoint, there have been accumulat'
ing evidence that he lacks funds.
If Carranza now takes steps toward
a restoration of Federal government,
it is the consensus of opinion that the
Washington administration will recog-
niZe him.
A speedy start on shipment of food
supplies from Vera Cruz to the capital
is looked for.
