Must Recognize Farmers.

II believe that the next democratic
platform must give recognition to the
farmers Of the country.
THE European war and It's effects on
this country should awaken the people
to q realization that the grain growing
and c6tton-growing farmers are the
very backbone Of the nations support.
am confident that the farmers will
be properly recognised by the next
democratic national convention with a
strong plank for rural credits. And
this IL another reason why the conven-
ton should como to Dallas. for We can
give the delegates a visual illustration
Of how important 1t is for the country
to consider the farmers and what
would safeguard their interests and
promote the productiveness and gen
eral prosperity Of the country"

Further Retirement
of Russian Forces Is
Indicated by Appeal

PETROGRAD, July 29.-The military
critics of the newspapers of Petrograd.
after conversations with competent
military authorities today call upon
the Russian public to view the events
which are about to transpire with con-
hdence and tranquility and to main
tain their faith in the glorious Russian
army until such time as it shall under
take decisive aggressive to break
once for all the power of the stubborn
enemy"
Quoting a military authority. the
Rech says it is possible that Russia is
on the eve of a maneuver which will
consist of the retirement of the army
from the line of the Vistula to new
defensive positions marked by the
strong fortresses of Kovno. Grodno and
Brest- Litovsk. In conclusion the
Rech lays emphasis upon the necessity
of giving greater weight to strategic
than to political considerations.
Cites Vast Enemy Forces.
The Bourse Gazette directs attention
to an interview given with it's military
writer, who says that seventy German
divisions, all the German cavalry and
4 big part of the Austro-Hungarian
army is at present operating against
Russia. thereby preventing such con-
centration of the Russian army on the
northern front as 1t would be necessary
If Russia undertook, at this time, a de-
cisive aggressive movement.
This paper points out that until Rus
STA has completed the mobilization Of
her industrial forces her army cannot
meet the German artillery on equal
terms. 1t argues furthermore against
the retention of fortresses on the
Narew-Vistula line. which are the OBJ
jectives of the present German ad-

FEAR LIFE Of WILSON
ENDANGERED IN BERLIN
Government Officials and Personal
Friends of Consulate Clerk
Are Apprehensive.

Government officials and personal
friends Of Harry l.. Wilson. formerly
clerk Of the Senate military anairs
committee, and more recently a clerk
in the American consulate at Berlin. are
greatly worried today over his predica-
ment in Germany. 1t is believed that
he is in peril of his life. At the State
Department it was said that no ofiicial
advices had been received today as to
the disposition of his case.
Wilson ostensibly was detained at the
Danish border for attempting to leave
Germany without a passport. The real
complaint against him. however. &C
cording to information forwarded to
Washington. is that he aided a British
subject in obtaining a passport, assert
ing that he knew the applicant to be
an American citizen.
Ambassador Gerard reported the case
about two weeks ago. Whether Wilson
had left Berlin before that time has not
been revealed.
Subject to Punishment.
Unlike diplomatic representatives
consular agents are extended no i'm
munities or exemption from prosecu-
ton for offenses committed in another
country. II Wilson's ofense should be
proven as charged It would constitute Q
reasonable act. The German govern
ment is under no obligation to grant
ieniency in such cases, but could do 20
upon request from this government.
Secretary Lansing would not discuss
the case today, further than to say
an investigation was being made.
Wilson went to Germany early In
the summer of 1914. accompanied by
his daughter, who went to study MT
sic At the outbreak of the war he
was added to the clerical force of the
American consulate.
