NEW WORKERS FEAR BOMBS
Protection for individuals, Banks,
Offices, Railroads, Etc, is Costing
Thousands of Dollars Every Day.

New York, Nov. 26.-Fires and ex-
plosions on ships at sea, the burning
of munition factories and daily threats
of violence have created widespread
apprehension among prominent rail-
road men and bankers here. Guards
are protecting individuals, their offices
and homes, banks, railroad terminals,
tunnels, steamship piers and factories.
Thousands of dollars are being spent
in protective measures that would
otherwise be used to increase produc-
ton and prosperity.
The stock exchange, the offices Of
J. P. Morgan & Co., the National City
Bank and other financial Institutions
are protected night and day by addi-
tional guards. The visitors gallery
and the members gallery in the stock
exchange were closed by order of the
board of directors shortly after the Luz
sitania disaster. There are additional
guards throughout the day at each of
the four entrances to the building.

LeaVenworth Carnival Train and Pas
senger Meet in Head-on Collision
on the Central of Georgia.

Columbus, Ga, Nov. 23.-The bodies
of seven persons had been recovered
tonight, eighteen others were missing
and more than thirty injured as re-
suit of a head-on collision six miles
west of here late today between Cen
trail of Georgia passenger train No. 2

ment was injured on the passenger
train, which suffered little injury to
its heavy coaches.

Macon, and the show special from At
1anta to Phenix City, Ala. No official
statement had been made tonight as
to the cause of the wreck, but among
railroad men it was said to have been
due to misunderstanding of orders on
the part of the passenger train, which,
it was said, had been ordered to wait
in Muscogee, Ga, four miles east OF
here, to allow the special to pass.

Henry Ford's Effort to End Eu-
ropean War.

Washington, Nov. 27-President
Wilson will take no part in the effort
to bring about peace conference now
being made in this and other neutral

ing all developments in order to be
ready to do whatever he can when
the time arrives.

Allies and central powers declaring
that they are ready for peace, are in
the hands of Henry Ford, Detroit
financier and pacifcist, he announced
this afternoon.

Carranza cavalry, chasing the last of
the fleeing Villa troops, came under

KANSAS DEFEATS MISSOURI
Iayhawkers Win from Tigers by Score
of 8 to s in Muddy Field at
Columbia.

Columbia, Mo-, Nov. 26.-Fighting
like demons on sloppy, slippery field
in a veritable downpouT, the Kansas
Jayhawker football machine triumph
ed over the Missouri Tigers to yes
terday afternoon in the twenty-fifth
annual gridiron tussle between the
universities. Rain, which fell through
out the game, increased to a downpour
near the middle of the fray and drove
hundreds from the field to shelter,
leaving other hundreds to watch
twenty-five athletes, so besmeared
with mud that they were hardly recog-
nizable, fight for supremacy.
While Missouri gained somewhat of
a triumph by holding Kansas, the fav-
orite, to such a close score, it was a
break" of the game that robbed them
of the honor OF a tie score. A safety
in the first period gave Kansas two
points and, Insignificant as those two
scores were, it was the margin which
gave Kansas victory when the hostili-
ties had wended their way to a finish.
A pass to Pittam sailed high over his
head and he fell on it behind his own
goal line.
Lindsey, Jayhawker fu1Iback, is the
hero of Kansas rooters tonight, for it
was his adeptness at booting that
gave the Jayhawkers their ether six
points. Twice in the second quarter
Lindsey calmly shook the mud from
his right foot, hastily poised himself
for a drop kick and sent the water
logged oval soaring between the goal
posts of the Tigers for the points that
dashed Missouri's hopes in the mud.

THE MESSAGE IS ABOUT READY
Principal Part of This Years Docu-
ment Devoted to Defense
Revenues Also Prominent.

Washington, Nov "a. President
Wilson's next annual address to con-
gress, it was learned definitely to-
night, will be devoted primarily to a
discussion of national defense and the
subject of revenues, though il will re-
fer to other legislative questions,
which the president expects congress
to act on during the coming session.
The president has not completed
the message, to which he has devoted
practically all of his time for the last
week. He discussed subjects to be
dealt with at today's cabinet meeting
and unanimity of opinion was reached
by the official family as to what
should be the general character of the
document.
Reasons for Strengthening the army
and navy at this time will be empha-
sized at length by the president. For
defense" will be the keynote of his ar
gument and declaring that the United
States has humanitarian mission Of
peace in the world, he will insist that
under present conditions, when all EG-
rope is at war, the United States must
be ready to defend it's right to indie
p0uQ0uI anu u4uO10SI0Q dCIIOu.
The continental army plan proposed
by Secretary Garrison for the train
ing of 100000 citizen soldiers in the
next three years in annual contingents
of 133, 200 is to be strongly supported.
The navy plans also will be pointed
to as carefully drawn up after consul
tation with experts and after taking
note of the lessons taught so far by
the European war.
The administration plans to urge
merchant marine bill in connection
with the need for more auxiliaries for
the navy and the president is expected
to make some mention of this subject
in his massage.
In addition to national defense, the
president will take up conservation
measures, including the water power
and mineral land leasing measures,
which failed of passage at the last
session. He is known to be as much
in favor of these bills as ever.
Two other subjects to be included in
the message are the bills giving
great degree of self-government to the
Philippines and rural credits 1egisla-
ton.

WILL BUY AMERICAN RAILS

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. &c. T. Hsia,
an engineer of the Chinese ministry
of communication, arrived here last
night and spent today in consultation
with manufacturers of steel rails and
other equipment. He explained that
the Chinese government contempIates
the construction OF four thousand
miles of railroad and he has been com
missioned to investigate American
standards with a view to placing or
derS in this country.
Heretofore railroad construction in
China has been under the direction of
European engineers who have inaugu-
rated European methods. This has re-
suited in the adoption of European
equipment. The war makes such pur-
chases now so difficult that the Chi
nese government turned to the United
States.

BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that are re-
ported OF the wheat crop OF Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the esti-
mate Of an average yield over the
three western provinces of upward q
25 bushels per acre. There is no
portion Of that great west OF 1900
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price OF
the land out OF this years crop OF
oats No doubt, others, too. who took
the advice OF the Department OF the
Interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as well.
But the story OF the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language Of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary 70
place in commission, the extra trains
required 10 be run, the increased ton
mage of the grain steamers.
It is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The c. P R earnings for the second
week of October showed an increase
of 1852, 900 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
/ earnings OF the corresponding week
/ of1913, when the Western wheat crop
made new record fer that date. The
increase in c. P. R. earnings for the
corresponding week OF that year was
I only S351,00O, or less than half of the
/ increase reported this year. The
grain movement in the West within
I the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources OF the Canadian roads as
never before, despite their increased
facilities. The c. P. R. is handling 1000
cars per day, a new record The
G. T r. and the G. N R. are also max
ing new shipment records. The other
day the W. Grant Morden, of the Can
ada Steamships Company, the largest
freighter of the Canadian feet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down a cargo OF
476s315 bushels, a new record for
Canadian shipping. Records are go
ing by the board in all directions this
fall, due to Canada's record crop. The
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port of New York ever
known is reported for the period I'd
to October 18th, when since shipments
OF the new crop began In August,
4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
Of American wheat from the same port
in the same period. And, be it remem-
bered, Montreal, not New York, is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
in competition with MontreaL-Ad-
vertisement.
