and 1914.

WASHINGTON. Jan. s.--General Car
ransa has Issued decree annulllnR all
oil, mining. irrigation, timber and other
concsssions In the entire republic OF
Mexico, granted between December 1,
1875 and january 2, 1914, official sdvices

az the American and other holders of
concesslons Of all kinds in Mexico The
decree annuls ell concessions granted by
Diaz, Madero and Huerta. 1t includes

This means. the agency stated, that all
industry carried on by the holders of
these concessions will remain at a stand
still pending the formulation OF new land
laws and concession regulations.
CarranSas purpose in issuing this de-
cree. IL was stated, was to restore the
land to the poems.
Inasmuch as Carranza's forces control
the State of Vera Cruz and the territory
surrounding Tampico, IL is believed that
he will be able to enforce his decree so
far as the oil land concessions are con-
csrned, as the chief oil fields are located
in that region.
Mexican oil concerns, with branch Of
nces In Philadelphia, announced this aft
ernoon that General Carranza's order
would hardly AFFECT this city. But few
companies in Philadelphia have Mexican
concessions. Among them are the Ma
tional OH Company and the Interocean
Company.
Local officials of these concerns said
they were not in a position to say how
the order would affect their companies
Those companies receive their oil from
Mexico. but are controlled by American
capital Head offices are In New York.

BREAD THE STAFF OF LIFE

Doctor Wiley Says 1t Is More Es-
sential and Less Costly Than Meat.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.--Dr, Harvey w.
Wiley, the pure food expert, today issued
a warning to the public against the cur
tailment of bread eating should the price
be advanced because of the rise in the
cost of wheat. He said:
There is popular fallacy in favor
of meat. Meat contains so per cent.
water and costs % cents a pound. Bread
is only 40 per cent. water and costs
cents a pound. There's more energy in
pound of bread than in a pound of
meat. Hard workers need bread more
than meat, If the cost of flour makes
bread rise cut down the meat. Bread Is
the cheapest food known"

NERVOUSNESS CAUSES DROP
IN CHICAGO WHEAT TODAY
Heavy Selling Carries May Down to
$1.9e a Bushel.

PlsO0 " puSuoAs
CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Nfay wheat opening
at $40 and selling down to s1.Ss, showed
loss Of * to 17s from yesterdays close.
July was 1sS under.
The decline was in line with the slump
in other Western markets, but went
against the advance in the Liverpool
cargo market. Declines of between two
and three cents in the May option were
recorded at the opening today in Mime
apolls, Duluth, st. Louis and Kansas
City.
Nervousness, which developed after the
close yesterday, was responsible for
heavy selling here and carried values
down, not only in wheat but in all grains.
On the break there was some buying on
resting orders, but the early market re-
mained very nervous.
Corn here opened II under yesterdays
close. July oats were 2is cents lower.
May oats, which opened a half higher,
quickly sold down to Ess a full cent
under Fridays finish.
Provisions were from to 10 cents lower
with the 10-cent drop in hogs.

DR.. J. S. 'Stahr, Former
College Head, Is Dead

Lancaster. Pa. Dec. 22.-The Rev.
John S. Stahr, president emeritus of
Franklin and Marshall College, died

after general decline due to age.
Recently uraemic poisoning developed.
Doctor Stair, who was one of the
leaders in the Reformed Church OF
the United States. was active head of
the college until about three years
ago, when he was succeeded by DR..
Henry Harbaugh Apple. Doctor Stahr
remained a member of the faculty
until recently.
DR.. Stahl was born in Bucks coun-

was graduated from Franklin and

have been let for two others-one in
the Hawaiian Island and one in the
Philippines. These new stations are
/ being constructed along the most mod
ern lines. 1t is believed that they will
| have much wider power of COM
munication than any others in the
world and their completion will put
the United States distinctly ahead of
any other nation in radio equipment.
The big wireless station at Airing
ton, across the Potomac from Wash
ington is the administration center of
the United States radio service. Here
are the offices from which are con-
trolled all the ships of the United
States navy. The little town of Radio,
Va, has been built up about the big
radio administration buildings almost
entirely by the people that worked
there.
From this station, too. the daily time
signals from the naval observatory are
flashed all over the country.
This station has one of the most
complete wireless equipments in the
world and its advantages are placed
at the disposal of all scientists doing
serious work in that line. As soon as

the men who have been expert
menting in wireless telephony demon
strated to the government that there
were real possibilities in their idea, the
Arlington station was placed at their
disposal In its workshops and labor
atories were constructed the instru-
ments and equipment through which
the human voice was first transmitted
over long distances without the aid
of wire.
The big station at Arlington also
handles a considerable amount Of
commercial business and the stations
of the naval radio service are always
available for commercial use in places
where no commercial stations exist
The service is maintained primarily
for government use, however, and it
never enters into competition with
commercial companies. These are
rapidly multiplying, but in many out
of-the-way places the United States
wireless service is the only means of
communication with the outside
world. In Alaska, for example, the
radio is almost as important n feature
of the daily life of the people as the
United States mail is in the States.
