WIRES
LEAD TO DEFEAT
Interception. Of. Telephone Me-
sage BY Austrians BROUGHT
Victory

Vienna, Sept. Am accidental
crossing CT telephone wires was re-
sponsible for a recent Austrian vic
tory over the Russians, according to
a story that is current here.
Officers at one of the Austrian statf
headquarters were amazed one day,
on trying to use n of their tele-
phone lines, to hear Russian words
spoken. An officer c%onversant with
that tongue was hastily summoned,
and got to the telephone in time to
get the most important part of the
message that was being transmitted.
The chief Of staff of a Russian d.
vision was trying to talk to a 5riga-
tdier. Perhaps because of the crossed
wires, which enabled the Austrians to
hear, tae connection was poor and
both had to speak with unusual clear
ness and much repetition. The order
was for two battalions to attack de-
lcisively at a given hour 4 specified
Austrian position, while three compa-
MES were to assist by a flank attack.
In conclusion the Austrians were
given the novelty of hearing a Rus
sian major protest against the order,
and demand it's purpose, since. he
complained, it probably would result
in refeat and retreat. The Austrians
knowing precisely what 20 expect,
merely laid in wait and bagged 2,G00
prisoners, including the major who
had protested.

SPANISH PRESS AND
MEXICAN SITUATION
Intimate That United States
Plans to Interviews in
Mexico

Madrid, Sept. 1.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-"Cannot the
Mexicans even now pull themselves
up on the brink of tie abyss?" asks
Ell Impartial today in its leading edi-
torial, which is headed Towards In
t%ervention.' The situation in the dis.
tressed republic is given a very frank
review. Gas Spaniards," Ell impartial
says, "the Mexican situation ought to
occupy us quite as much as the vast
struggle o. going on in Europe.
The Spanish colony in that republic
is most numerous. Common inter-
ests, friendly ties oblige as to turn
our eyes towards Mexico, and yet
this attention which undoubtedly
thousands of Il compatriots, espe-
cially in cur northern provinces, are
giving to the situation in Mexico,
finds no reflection in the official con-
duct of Spain"
The Spanish journal reviews the
calling by the United States govern.
ment of a conference of Latin-AmeTi-
can representatives to take cosniz-
ance of the state of anarchy in the
neighboring republic with frank scep-
ticism of its disinterestedneSs.
"In its final analysis" continues FL
Impartial, "all of this in more or less
open terms simply means TIE certain
Intervention which the United States
have laboriously and %cunningly gone
about preparing. The policy of the
United States has for many years
consisted in dividing the forces Of the
various Mexican parties and factions
SO as to render the establishment OF
any order impossible.
1T is true, however, that there is
not too much reason for insisting up
on this shady aspect of the Mexican
civil wars. For after all. tae Mexi-
cans themselves have been in no es-
pecial need of interested, foreign sug-
gestion to exhaust themselves in ster-
lie and personal strife.
eve may admit that in spite of
everything that has h%appcn"d there,
and though Mexican soil has. been
wet with good Spanish blood, we
should like to see the shame of inter
vention avoided in some definite way.

Statistics gathered by DR.. Perry
from As leading cities in the Uniteo
States show that in one month there
were over o $1,000 attendance upon
evening functions in the public

bulletin declares that these figures
mean so many evenings spent in

that time in less beneficial or in posi-
lively harmful pastimes. These $780,

Haze Plans
on Defenses

Washington, Sept. president
Wilson tonight made public letters
lie wrote to Secretaries Garrison and
Daniels last month acking them to
formulate for him definite programs
for Strengthening the national de.
lenses in order that he might make
recommendations to congress in his
next annual message.
The president told tle two secre-
taries he wanted them TO confer with
the best informed experts of their de.
partments and submit: plans formu-
lated in very definite terms. Whether
the entire program could be proposed
to congress Immediately, he said.
would have to be determined after
further study.
In accordance with this request,
Secretaries Garrison and Daniels have
been at work on their reports for
more than a month and now have
them practically completed. They
will soon be submitted to the presi-
dent then he will discuss them with
the chairman Of the military and ma

than does the tomato,
Florida, of course, with its location
and climate, stands as the premier
tomato state and starts the tomato
movement each year in January. The
northern states, such as New York
and OHIO, finish out the season in
October. and by the time the move
ment is over, approximately twelve
thousandNca are, moved for table
consumption. according to a recent
survey by the Department of Agricul-
ture and published in Bulletin No.
800, Rail lShipments and Distriba-
ton of Fresh Tomatoes in 1914.' m
Florida ships about half the toma-
toes moved (6,0OO cars), with Missis-
sippi, New Jersey, and Texas handl-
ing approximately 1889 cars apiece.
The other states grow tomatoes in
smaller quantities, but in certain dis
tricts such as West Tennessee, the
CROP is Of great local Importance.
The bulletin presents figures show.
ing that total of twelve thousand
cars We're moved; but this by ne
means represents the entire tomato
crop, since an effort was made to ex--
cllde those going to canneries and
catsup factories. When demand for
tomatoes In the markets is heavy. it
is more profitable to ship the toma-
tees which were originally intended
for the canneries, but if the market
is weak larger quantities are offered
for canning.
There are certain LOCALITIES where
it is more profitable to raise tomatoes
for canning thanafor table use. New
York, Delaware, and Ohio put the
bulk Of their production into the can,
so that the total used for this purpose
is more than that shipped for table
use. @
Most Of the table tomatoes are pick
ed when green and wrapped in paper
to ripen on the way to market in ven-.
tilated cars. Texas for a number of
years has preferred to send its crop
to market picked when ripe and
shipped in iced cars. Near many CT
ties large quantities of tomatoes r
shipped when fully ripe by electric
lines, trunks anl other conveyances.
The different tomato-groWing locali-
ties endeavor to raise their crop so as
not to be in competition with each
other, and every effort is made to-
rush the crop to market before the To-
cal tomatoes come in. The last. OF
the southern crop is frequently vast
ed because it cannot sell in competi-
ton with northern tomatoes.
The bulletin published by the De-
partment of Agriculture contains
charts showing the shipping periods
of the various states, a map with the
tomato-producing sections indicated,
and a list of tle railroad stations
shipping tomatoes with the amount
from each.
