London Paper Publishes
Full Details of American
Naval Program and Says
Is Only Investment Of
War Earnings
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The fullest de-
tails of the new American naval
program yet published on this side
of the ocean are given in this morn
ing's issue of the Daily Telegraph
which in commenting on them says
that among the things the British
fleet has done is to convince the
people of the United States that their
country requires a large navy
I'VE have,'' the Daily Telegraph
adds, the spectacle of the greatest
democracy in the world, although sep
arated from Europe by more than
three thousand miles, in such a hurry
for more men of war that it has
decided not even to wait for the
lessons on constructions or armament
which the war may teach. Moreover
this decision has been reached by a
party which came into power in OPP
position to the Rooseveltian policy or
the big stick and pledged itself to
economy in ornaments.
THE hostilities in Europe have tenn
pered the extreme pacifism of Amer
leans. Although already possessing
navy held by many to be second
in the world, they are determined to
have a still greater one. The new
American ships of the line will cost
over 6 3,5OO,OOO (s17,5O0,O00) each, the
largest sum Great Britain ever spent
on a single ship is about $4,000 900
(s10,O0O,0OO).
THE time is not far distant when
the American outlay on sea power
will he as high as England'e was on
the outbreak of the war but it goes
without saving that the Americans

they are only investing a portion of
the profits they are making out of

NATIONS CROPS
FIVE BILLION
FOR THIS YEAR
by More Than Half
Billion Dollars Value Of
the Farm Crops in 1914,
Previously the Banner
Year
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The ma
TONS principal farm crops this year
are worth about five and a half
billion dollars, exceeding by more
than half a billion their value in
1914, the previous banner value year
in the country's crop history. There
has been an unprecedenteded, harvest
many of the crops exceeding their
best records, and high prices due to
the influences of the European war
have contributed to swell the total
value.
Statistics announced today by the
department of agriculture in its No
vember crop report base values on
prevailing November prices. Corn.
with a production of 3.O9O,5O9. 900
bushels, 100000 bushels below the
record crop-worth $1,913, 025,O71, the
most valuable corn crop ever grown.
1t exceeds the former biggest value
crop, that of 1914, by s19O,0OO,O00.
Wheat, with the largest produce
ton ever known in any country,
LOOP, 029,000 bushels, or about one
fourth of the worlds wheat crop this
year is worth 1892, SSS,999 or $54,-
100000 more than the record made
in 1914.
The oats crop also was a record
enc, both in point of production and
value. The harvest was 1,517,47S, 900
hushels-almost 100000 bushels
better than the record of 1912-and
its value $532,599,S22, is $33, 900
more than the record value of the
1914 crop.
Barley, rye, sweet potatoes, hay
and rice were record crops in point
of production and tobacco almost
equalled its best prodn~tion. The
rye and hay crops were records in
point of value
The approximate value of the bar
ley crop is s11S,577,6S2; the rye,
crop, s37,S61,4O3 buckwheat, $12,S45,-
$50; potatoes. s21S,425,S24; sweet po-
tatoes, $42.456.O5O; hay SS77,O54,S9O;
cotton s609,00O,O0O tobacco, s1O5,-
002,5O: flax seed s3,5O,534; rye s22,-
31s,35O; apples $164,3SO,4SO; peaches
s60613,736, and pears s9,275,634.
In this years harvest the corn
crop passed the three billion bushel
mark for the second time. and the
wheat crop crossed the one billion
busheI mark for the first time.
Potato prospects declined nine mil
lion bushels during October. the crop
now being slated at 359,253, 900 bush
els. That is $4,000, 900 less than last
years crop and the prospective
moderate supply for winter use is
reflected in the sharp advance ir
farm price from 4S.7 cents a bushel
on October 1. to sos cents on Nov.
1. The November 1 price is cents
higher than a year ago. The crop
is shorter in the northern states
which grow the surplus of the late
crop. The quality, too, is below the
average.

CHICAGO. Nov. S.-After a twenty
nine year struggle, the District of
Lake Michigan" was held to be n
part of Chicago in the municipal
court here today.
Since 1886 Captain George yelling
ton Streeter has claimed that this

tween the wreck of the little steam
er he owned and the former shore
line of Lake Michigan was outside
the jurisdiction of the city and the
state. The land in question abuts
valuable lake shore property and has
been repeatedly the subject of law
suits of more than one armed conflict
between the captain and the police.

a charge OF selling $500 bottles of
beer while throughout the city the
Sunday closing order was in force.
1t was at his hearing today that the
court handed down the ruling re-
garding jurisdiction over the district.

slider that the struggle will be un-

ZEPPELIN DESTROYED
 IN AN AIR BATTLE
Daring Canadian Aviator Engages In Duel With German Ship in Clouds;
 Austrians Encircle Lemberg.
By Associated Press.

LONDON, June Flor the first time on record a Zeppelin in the air was destroyed by an aviator in an aeroplane. Reginald Warneford, a young Canadian sub-lieutenant in the royal navy, who mastered aeroplan- ing only this summer, performed the feat, and tonight is somewhere within the British lines while the Zeppelin lies in ruins sprawled on the roof and ground of an orphanage near Ghent.
 Falling in a blazing mass, after be- ing struck by the young aviator's bombs, its crew of 28 were killed, as were several occupants of the orphan age buildings. The theory advanced is that the Zeppelin was the craft that raided the east coast of Eng land last night for the fact that it was in the air over Belgium at 3 o'clock this morning leads to the belief that it was returning from the expedition, not starting
 The Zeppelin flying comparatively low, began to mount as soon as the aeroplane was sighted, but the Brit ish wasp speedily climbed the air in long spirals, reaching a position a length over the Germans vast bulk. From this point of vantage Warneford burst the Zeppelin's shell repeatedly with incendiary bombs. The explosions caused an air vacuum and the monoplane turned completely over and began to fall. Warneford succeeded in fighting the smaller craft and landed safely.
 A late news dispatch says Warne- ford was assisted by a French aero plane. In the long pursuit the aero planes and Zeppelin exchanged rife and machine gun fire.
