ASKS $5OO,OOO,OOO
TO EQUIP The U. S.
ARMY and NAVY

New York, June 9-Speaking before
300 of the most eminent men in this
city at the Recess Club today, Col.
Robert NJ. Thompson, chairman Of the
Executive Committee of the Navy
League, declared it would be only in
surance of an intelligent and econom-
ical sort for the United States to spend
$500,000000 at once tor greater ar
my and navy. The league has petit
toned President Wilson to call a spe-
cial session Of Congress to urge such
an appropriation.
This sum would render war only re-
motley probable by putting US in a
position of respect among the nations,
he said. The annual cost for interest
and sinking fund would be about $780,
100000. This is a small amount, he
urged, for a country which fifty years
after the civil war is spending $170,-
100000 annually on pensions resulting
from that wac.
The civil war involved the destruc-
ton of hundreds of thousands of lives
and billions of dollars worth of prop
erty. Thirty million dollars a year is
very little to pay as insurance against
the repetition of such a catastrophe,
he declared.
He called attention to Admiral
FiskC's statement that five years
would be required to make our navy
adequate. Every day that We waste in
beginning this preparation, he said, is
one day added to the danger limit.
We should learn from the example
of England, he said, and never find
ourselves in her pitiable condition
through lack of preparation for con-
flict. The late navy maneuvers dem
onstrated clearly that a fleet which
: might quite probably be brought
against US would easily destroy our
navy and land an invading force.
Five hundred million dollars, he de-

WHEAT VALUES GO THROUGH
PERIOD OF REIMBURSEMENT
Prices Are Now on New Crop Basis
Buying Movement Checked By
Heavy Sales.

Chicago, June S-Wheat values
went through readjuStment from an
old to a new-crop basis last week. The
July delivery declined 9 cents and
September was IA cents under the
close of the previous week.
One of the principal depressing in
fluences was the purchase of lot of
new wheat by local cash house for
five-day shipment. This would indi-
cate an early movement of new grain,
and took most of the longs completely
by surprise, as it was not generally
known that the harvest had commenc-
ed except in portion Of Texas.
At one time the market was inclined
to rally on reports of black rust dam
age to the wheat crop of Oklahoma
and fears for a wet harvest, but a
damper was put on the advance by the
persistent selling of the Armour Grain
Company. The continued wet weather
over the Southwest caused some ap-
prehension over a wet harvest, and
the poor reports from Oklahoma as
wired by experts caused the buying
movement in which some of the big
private wire houses participated.
Another bearish influence was the
report of Crop Expert B. w. Snow, in
which he estimated the crop at 95O,-
100000 bushels, against 891 100000
harvested last year. He estimates the
winter wheat crop at 669,OO0,000 bush
els of 100000 bushels less than in
May, and compared with 685 100000
bushels harvested last year. He gives
the condition as $50 against 901 in
May. The principal loss in condition
was 90 points in Missouri. II in Okla
homa, s in Kansas, in Indiana and
5 in Illinois. A slight improvement is
shown in Ohio and on the Pacific coast.
The crop especially in Kansas is one
to two weeks late.
Sentiment in the wheat trade has
seldom been more bearish than at pres
ent. This is not unusual, however, for
the first part of June is usually a
bearish period. Crops look too good
and the speculative trade is too light.
A point made by the bears is that Eu-
ropean buyers are making few pur-
chases of new crop wheat, and with
hedging sales increasing only wet
harvest or an oversold condition in the
pit is expected to have Il strengthen
ing effect on values.
Better weather and the weakness IN
wheat brought out liberal short sales
of corn by local traders and liquida-
ton by longs. Numerous reports OF
damage came from the country, but
they had not effect, as rains appeared
to be over for the present. The big
decrease in the visible and in local
stocks exceeded expectations, but
stocks are so much in excess of last
years that the reports of damage at
tracted little attention from the aver
age trader.
Crop reports We're bearish from all
sections and created selling pressure.
Oats declined with other grains.

A NEW NAME FOR CIGARS

In one of the German papers re-
Gently there was a reference to Bis
marck behring's, Bismarck cigars, etc.
1t appears there are also Bulow her
rings, which run the Bismarcks very
close in popularity, and also Bulow
hams. It is suggested that the failure
of Bethmann-Hollweg to associate
himself with any comestible is due to
the length of his name. But an en-
thusiastic admirer of Hindenburg has
been selling cheap cognac as linden
burg schnapps and crop as linden
burg tea. Also doubtful mixture of
various intoxicants has been christen-
ed Hindenburg coffee.

Swiss Glaciers.

As the Matterhorn is the grandcst object to he seen in Switzerland, so also are the glaciers above Zerlnatt the most magnificent. In the oberlnnd and at Chamonix the glaciers are frozen rivers and cataracts. From the Cor ner Grat the glaciers are vast seas of ice. with lodges of rocky beach. over which the frozen breakers are beating. The Aletsch and the Rhone glaciers are grand frozen torrents of immense vol ume and the ice fields of the Mont Blanc range are of vast extent, but it is from the Corner Grat, where the spectator is surrounded by frozen seas, out of which the snow peaks rise, like islands. that the imagination is over powered by stupendous glacial effects.
