SYRACUSE, N. Y, April PA
battle royal between Colonel Roose-
welt snd VIM. Barnes impended today.
The climax Of their titanic political
struggle was reached In the cross ex-
animation of the former president
The most tempestuous day OF the
libel trial was expected. Interest was
keyed to fever pitch. 1t was Roose-
velt's third day on the witness stand.
Real fireworks in bitter clashes De
tween the colonel and Barnes chief
counsel, VIM. NJ. WINS, past master
in cross examination, was expected.
Both sides were primed today Tor
the combat of words. Roosevelt was
straining at the leash, eager and
anxious for the fray. His opponents
were prepared for a rough and tum-
BILE, free for all examination.
The biggest crowd of the trial
struggled for seats today. A third
were women. AS usual, Roosevelt ar
rived early and conferred with Loeb
and Senators Agnew and Newcomb. 1t
was announced that Loeb would tes-
I! tify when the colonel's examination
was concluded. Roosevelt was in high
spirits. He oozed exhuberance, laugh
Ing and joking and pounding friends
on the back. He appeared to well
/ come his grilling.
Attorney Ivins, picked to auizz him
today. celebrated his sixty-fourth
I birthday anniversary and the forty
third of his admission to the bar. A
conference of attorneys with Justice
Andrews on admitting parts Of Bayne
1 reports, delayed court convenins
nearly half an hour.
Justice Andrews again ruled IN
favor Of Barnes, excluding all of the
Bayne report except that bearing on
the alleged Albany printing graft. He
excluded certain parts dealing with
alleged local graft and vice in Albany
and local political conditions.
! He ruled that the report was only
in mitigation of punitive damages and
not in justification Of Roosevelt's
charges.
| The admitted portions were read to
the jury by Attorney Van Benschoten
delaying Roosevelt's examination.

belligerents for purchasers of war
supplies here, should the war con-
tinue until September Of this year,
declared a prominent Wall street
banker today. This banker, who re-
fused to allow his name to be used
because of his close association with
some Of the foreign agents now In
this country based his estimate on
the actual figures Of war purchases
for the first six months, as prepared
by the government at Washington.
From September to March, s92,415,-
72s was spent for war materials,
which was S73,961,S79 more than was
expended by these same foreign coun.
tries in the corresponding period of
last year. Most of the money repre-
sents purchases Of horses, for which
s31 900 ,O43 was spent; wool goods,
s14 44G4595; automobile trucks costing
s1S.176.S35 and cartridges amounting

LONDON, April 22.-The latest con-
tributlon to the account Of events at
the front by "eye witness" makes the
claim that the morale Of the British
troops Is now much superior to that
of the enemy, which has noticeabiy
weakened since the Neuve chapelle
fighting. The success In this fight,
accepted as the commencement Of
spring and summers works, has re-
suited in a noticeable dropping off In
the number Of sick.
Tho troops are now supplied with
many things to take the minds Of the
men off the serious side Of the war.
CHIEF Of these Is a general bathing
system which kept down the vermln.
Big rest depots are established at
which band concerts, bag pipe compe-
titfons, moving pictures, vaudeville
and boxing divert the men.
In addition, thousands of mouth or
gans and penny whistles have been
distributed and the soldiers are en-
courased to stage football matches In
their rest periods. The beneficial re-
suit is very marked, the "eye Witness
narrative says.

scrlptions were made, these deposits

1t was ridiculously small, mere drop

Russia she is borrowing heavily in
the United States. France today has
a debt of five billion francs against

some billions owing for supplies W
all kinds. That is bad situation
What effect will the British block

many?" I asked.
Germany cannot be starved. We
have enough food now to comfortably
feed everyone until September or Oc-
tober. The prospects are splendid for
good crops throughout the fatherland
this year. II the harvest is not too
much below the normal, we will have
by the first of August enough supplies
to last another year.
This war has now developed into
an economic struggle. England. who
cannot hght us with Iron and steel,
can find little hope in her silver bull
lets or IN the prospect OF trying to
starve women, children and other nom
combatants.
NORMALLY Germany imports only
eight percent of food It needs. As a
result Of conservation since the war,
the people are now able to subsist on
their own resources. II the harvest
is what we expect, more bread will
be allotted in the fall, as because OF
the success Of the bread cards, it has
been decided to continue the system
until the end of the war.
Germany has raised more wheat,
barley. potatoes, rye, and oats per
acre than any country in the world,
even the United States"
When asked regarding the peace
rumors, especially that which has sug-
gested the arrangement of separate
peace with Russia, DR.. Helfferich
shook his head.
II do not think that there can be
any talk of peace until there is sue
cessful outcome to the war;" he said.
Helfferich, besides being noted
financier, is also Germany's leading
economist. Since the war, his book
