INCREASING GRAIN
Cotton States Of the South Planting
More Oats and Wheat.

The acreage planted to oats last
fall in cotton States exceeded that of
the preceding year nearly 100000
acres, and the increase in Solrthern
heat acreage was almost as great, the
department of agriculture announced
partment's figures follow:

The wheat and oat increase, the de-
partment said, appears to have been
more thatn 10 per cent. of the acre
age planted to cotton last year. Re-
ports to the department indicate an

One of the worst storms Of the
winter is general from the Middle

There have been heavy snow

and railway traffic there has
been almost suspended or greatly re-
tarded. One Chicago and North

was held in high bank of snow near
Maribel, Wis, from 10 O'Clock Sun

Chicago to many points was difficult.
Northern and Western New York

than the other attempt, the Turkish
losses in killed, wounded and prison
ers numbering upwards of 100.
''The New Zealand contingent, and
presumably the Australians, took
part in the battles. Compared with
the battles in Poland and the Carpa-
thians this was mere flash, but as
British territorials, Australians and
New Zealanders are receiving theiI
baptism of fire in Egypt, and there
is much interest in the attempts Of
the Turks to move a.big army across
the desert, the operations in that part
Of the world are attracting unusual
attention in England.
1.-The British foreign Office, in g
statement bearing on Germany's ac
tion in warning ships from going to

retaliatory measures, saying:
The apparent intention of the
German government to sink .mer
chant ships by submarines without
bringing into port or providing &C
commodation for their crews and re
gardless of the loss Of civilian lives
has raised very seriously the question
whether Great Britain should adopt
more stringent measures against Ger

VISITS ENGLAND.
Sir John French Sees King, States
men an, Officers.

Sir John French, commander in
chief Of the British forces in France
and Belgium, has paid another secret
visit to London. He conferred with
the king and the war council and re-
turned without a word Of his trip ap-
pearing in the newspapers. Contrary
to precedent the king called on Sir
John at his residence.
Sir John reached London Tuesday
morning, January II. No one recog-
niZed him in citizens clothes. His
first caller was Premier Asquith, who
was followed by Winston Churchill,
first lord Of the admiralty, and he by
Lloyd George. It was evening When
the king arrived by motor. No one
knew of his coming. 1t is doubtful
even whether Sir Johns butler for
The moment recognized the visitor.
The king remained alone with Sir
John for more than an hour. What
they discussed will remain for some
future chronicler of the war to dis
close.
Next day Sir John left from Char
ing Cross station for Dover. There
he boarded cruiser for Calais. To
guard against mines or sudden at
tack destroyer preceded the cruiser
and at each side of her steamed a

MAY GET DISTRICT.
House Committee Favors Second Ju-
dicial District for S. c.

Prospects of legislation for ap-
pointment of district judge, attor-
ney and marshall for the Western
Federal District of South Carolina
frightened decidedly Tuesday, when
the judiciary committee of the House,
after a hearing attended by several
members of the Palmetto delegation,
voted to report favorably the bill in
troduced by Congressman Wyatt
Aiken on the 14th of last month.
It is believed that if the measure
can be put through the House with
out having the celebrated Cullop
amendment attached to it, as it has
been to similar bills during the past
few years, it will be possible to Sc
cure action by the Senate at the pres
ent session. The effect of the Cullop
amendment hitherto has been to.
pigeonhCle bills in the Senate judici-
ary committee. This amendment pro-
yides that the president shall make
public all the recommendation he re-
ceives in connection with the nomina-
ton Of judge.

Herring, NJ. D., under the present
plans a colony for the negro insane
of both seves would be established at
State Park. There is building at
this place which is now occupied by
less than 100 negro women.
'sNone Of the work on this build
ing" says the report, "was done by
the labor of patients. Under our pro-
posed plan at least 100 able-bodied
negro male patients would be trans
ferred to State Park and housed III
the small wooden building now on
the place. These patients would be
utilized in doing all Of the general
labor, such as excavating, clearing
the land, unloading cars, mixing
cement, etc. This would save the
State a great deal of money and by
erecting a permanent and compare
lively inexpensive building all of the
negro patients could be housed in the
near future and at comparatively
small cost. l would say within S4G0
bed. This, to lay mind, is one of
the most important things connected
with the entire plan of reorganiZa-
ton.
"The negroes could be used for
farming purposes, and there is no
reason why most of the produce used
in the hospital could not be produced
on this farm by the patients labor.
By occupying the negroes in this
manner restraint could be absolutely
abolished; the patients would be hap
pier and more contened; there would
be a large number of recoveries, and
at the same time they would become
q valuable asset to the institution and
the State.
''In addition to the colony for the
negroes there could be erected at
State Park building for the idiotic
and imbecile children, who are now
living with the patients in the State
hospital. The importance of segre-
eating the imbecile and feeble mind
ed children from the adults has never
been questioned. There should also
be constructed at State Park sepa-
rate building for cases of tuberculo-
sis and pellagra. There is splendid
opportunity, both at the present hos
pital and at State Park, to develop
farm colonies"

GERMAN OFFICER FLEES
TRIES TO WRECK STEEL CANA
DIAN RAILROAD BRIDGE.
After Arrival in This Country Says
His Offense an Act of War-Says
He Can't be Surrendered.

Another international problem in
cident to the war was thrust upon
the United States Tuesday by the ac-
ton of Werner Van Horn, who, op-
Grating on the Canadian side Of the
border, dynamited the railway
bridge over the St. Crois river and
then escaped Tuesday into Maine.
A few hours later in a room at
hotel il Vanceboro, Me-, Van Horn
submitted to arrest, but Immediately
proclaimed himself an officer Of the
German army and set up the claim
that he had committed an act OF war
and, having fed to neutral coun-
try, could not be surrendered legally
to an enemy Of the fatherland.
The Canadian authorities took
different view Of the matter and i'm
mediately instituted proceedings to
eXtradite the prisoner on a charge OF
destruction of railroad property.
Pending the outcome of these efforts
Van Horn is held at the immigration
Office at Vanceboro in custody Of
deputy sheriff
The bridge which Van Horn
sought to destroy was not greatly
damaged. Within few hours cars
were shunted across one at time,
the passengers walking over On the
ice. By morning, railroad officials
said, the bridge would be strong
enough for trains to use it without
uncoupling.
The bridg; is owned jointly by the
Maine Central and the Canadian Pa
cific railways, and is on the direct
route of the Canadian Pacific from
western Canada to the Maritime prov
inces Over this road have been ship
ped large quantities Of var materials
for The allies, which were dispatched
from st. John to Halifax.
According to the police, Van Horn,
man of middle cge, and of military
bearing, told them that he left Ger
many five y ars ago and for the past
four years had been managing a
coffee plantation il Mexico. Recent
ly he made unsuccessful attempts to
return to his native land.
Friday night Van Horn left New
York city, arriving at Vanceboro, Me-,
Saturday night. That same night by
appointment Ne m6L GC lue 6esSI eUC
of the bridge man unknown to him.
The man gave him a satchel contain
| ing dynamite. Van Horn supended
the satchel from the inside of an end
post of the bridge and about two
o'clock Tuesday morning discharged
the explosive.
Attorney General William R. Pat
tangall ordered that Van Horn be
held until further orders. While
| there was no formal charge preferred
again him at first, arrangements
| were made to have warrant issued
if necessary in order to make certain
| Van Horns detention.
Van Horn, the officials state, could
be- charged with damage to rail-
road bridge, which is an extraditable
offense or with damage to property
on the American side of the border
where windows were broken by the
explosion. Van Horn had not seen q
lawyer and appeared Indifferent as tc
what charges may be preferred
against him.

ENGLAND is MOVED.
Does Not Like Action Of Government
in Changing Dacia.

Cable advices to the British for.
eign Office at London Thursday said
that loading of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can steamship Dacia at Port Arthur
Texas. had been suspended. The
hope is entertained in Official circles
that the United States will not per.
nit this former German vessel. valid
ity of whose transfer to American
registry is questioned, to enter the
German cotton trade.
The Washington suggestion that
the Dacia might carry cotton to Rot
terdam instead Of Bremen is not re-
garded by British officials as offerine
solution. The foreign Office is not
disposed to decide precisely what ac-
ton will be taken until it is known
positively that the Dacia has sailed
for Germany under the American
flag. Even then it is probable, a
prominent official intimated, that her
cargo would be permitted to reach its
destination, but the vessel detained If
the facts in conn ction with her sale
are as reported.

ANDERSON STRIKE ENDS.
Weavers Return to Work After Strike

after being idle for nearly one week,
was started up at l o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. The weavers, who walk
I'd out last Monday, contended that
they could not make $3.50 per day
under the new schedule of wages.
The officers of the mill declared that
they could make that much and
guaranteed them that much.
Under the guarantee the weavers
went back to work, declaring they
were satisfied. The entire mill was
closed down, affecting four hundred
employees and cutting off the depend
ence of seven hundred persons. The
decrease in wages in the weave room
Of the mills is 10 per cent. on the
average. The average in all the de-

WILL SEIZE FOOD
GREAT BRITAIN NOW REGARDS
1T AS CONTRABAND.
American Ambassador at London
State Department Decision Of Eng
Iish Government.
IiSh Government.

Ambassador Page at London cabled
the state department Tuesday that
the British feet had been ordered to
treat grain and -four cargoes destin-
ed for Germany or Austria as condl-
tional contraband subject to seizure
and confscation. This step, the am
bassador explained, was taken be-
cause Germany had decreed confsca-
tion of all grain and -four to conserve
the nations food supply.
Since the publication of the Ger
man order the ambassador, Vount
Won Bernstorff, has personally assur-
ed the American government that no
foodstuffs imported from the United
States or other neutral countries
would be seized by the German gov
eminent, and press dispatches have
announced the issuance Of a modify
ing decree making such exemptions
by the government.
Ambassador Page said Great Brit
ain had agreed that an exception
would be made in the case of the
steamship Wilhelmina, now bound
from New York for Hamburg with
grain and other food, because she
had sailed before the German decree
was issued. The vessel would be
seized, it was said, but she would be
released and her cargo purchased at
invoice price by the British govern
ment. Warning was given, however,
that similar shipments hereafter
would be seized, as we'll as the YES
sells, and confiscated.
This announcement gave new
phase to negotiations that have been
in progress since the beginning of
the war in regard to the right of neu-
trail states to ship food to belliger-
ents. In the British note regarding
the Dacia it was stated that it had
been decided not to interfere with
such shipments provided they were
intended for non-combatants and not
for the army or government with
which England was at war. It was
;ntimated then that exceptional con-
ditions might warrant some change
in this plan.
The state department has not de-
cided what shall be done. AS pre-
| liminary it has advised the W. L.
Greene Commisson company Of St.
| Louis, owners of the Wilhelmina's S
cargo, of the British governments
determination to appropriate the
cargo and pay for it. Ambassador
Page has been asked for further. in
formation on the general subject.
