FOR MARKETING COMMISSION

Chicago, Nov. 30.-Dr Charles Nc.
Carthy, Madison, Wis, in an address

Marketing and Farm Credits, advocat.
ed the creation by law of a marketing
commission empowered to create, de-.
fine and enforce reasonable standards
OF farm products. Mr.. Mccarthy IA.

ducers meeting certain requirements
and carrying out certain standards to
use label or brand issued by the
state, thus indicating to the consumer
that the state had inspected the prod.
ucts and found them to be within the
requirements of the rules of the mar.
keting commission. But legislation
alone, he held, would not bring the
desired results. Law had to be sun.

CANADIAN WHEAT
COMMUNICATED
HIGH GRADE GRAIN IN ELEVA.
TORS FROM FORT WILLIAM TO
ATLANTIC COAST SEIZED.
MUCH OWNED BY AMERICANS
Grain Taken Under Special War Act
10 Estimated at 10000, 600 Bushels
To BE Shipped to England,
France and Italy.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 30.--The Cana
dian government has Communicated
all high grade wheat in elevators from
Fort William on Lake Superior to the
Atlantic coast.
The action was taken under the
special war act by the Canadian grain
commission. The wheat seized was
of grades No. hard and Nos. /, 2 and
3 northern. 1t was the property OF
grain shippers and millers. That
taken is all which on Saturday night
was in public elevators at Fort VIII
liam, Port Arthur. Midland. Tifiin
Port MeNichol, Collingwood, Goder.
ich, Kingston. Port Colborne, Pres,
colt. Quebec, st. John, Montreal and
Halifax.
Much Owned by Americans.
A revised estimate places the amount
at about 20.000,0o0 bushels. A con.
siderable amount is the property OF
American grain dealers.
The grain was taken so that grain
exchanges should be affected as little
as possible. 1t is officially stated that
the price will be fairly adjusted and
the grain owners promptly paid by
the Canadian government.
1t Is estimated that there Is still
In Canada in the hands of farmers
and dealers west of Fort William
15o,oo0,ooo bushels surplus of wheat
available for export.
1t is expected that most OF this
will be taken in the future for the
use of Great Britain, France and
Italy. The domestic supply of Rus.
STA is more than sufficient to meet
the needs of that country. Had the
Dardanelles been forced the surplus
of Russian wheat would have made
the present action unnecessary.

SCRUTINIZED BY BRITISH
German Officials Deny Charge That

sci Recently Searched by
British Cruiser.

Washington, Dec. /. Assertions
that the German government has pur.
chased a considerable interest In the
American merchant marine and is en-
ploying American vessels to run the
British blockade are being investigat-
ed by the administration.
The British government Is scrutiniz-
ing the ownership of American ves-
sells, with the intention of Selling all
ships in which 1t has reason to be-
lieve German capital Is invested, and
the United States is threatened with
serious reduction of the number Of
American ships available for the
transportation of American products
abroad.
The treasury department is investi-
eating the ownership of the Zealan-
dria, registered at the department Of
commerce as the property of the
Fiske Trading company, a New York
corporation, Of which Julian " Dicks
is president
Called Dummy Corporation.
According to the treasury depart
ment, G. F. Lamb, deputy surveyor Of
customs at New York, reported after
an investigation that the money for
the purchase Of the vessel was sup
piled by Imperial Privy Counselor
Heinrich Albert, commercial attache
to the German embassy, who main
tains headquarters in New York. The
New York customs official also report
ed to the treasury department that
the Fiske Trading company is dunn
my corporation.
The movements of the Zealandia
have been mysterious for several
months. 1t came into public notice
when 1t sailed suddenly from Pensa-
cola, Fla, several weeks ago. 1t was
reported that its sudden departure
was to pick up the interned German
navy officers who escaped from New
port News on the yacht Eclipse. The
Zealandia turned up a few days later
at Progreso, Yucatan, where it took
aboard cargo of hemp and hides.
zeaIandia Escapes Warsnip.
A British cruiser searched the Zea-
landia off Progreso and compelled the
master to unload the hides. After
dark the Zealandia slipped past the
Garship and escaped, arriving in New
York last Saturday.
The state department has asked the
British government to explain the
search of the zealandia, which. &C.
cording to the Mexican authorities
took place within the three-mile limit.
German embassy officials say they
do not believe Doctor Albert furnished
the money for the purchase of the
ship.
