Secretary Bryan and President
Wilson Discuss Situation
With John Lind = Villa Still
Has Advantage.

WASHINGTON, Jan. so. = After
the cabinet meeting Friday in which
the capture of Mexico City by Car
rama was discussed, Sec'y Bryan
said there would be no change in the
policy of the government with refer
ence to the Mexican situation.
John Lind, Pres't Wilson's special
envoy to Mexico during the Huerta
regime, called on the president and
later had talk with Mr.. Bryan. Mr..
Lind and Mr.. Bryan said the visits
were purely social and had no refer
ence to the troubles in Mexico.
The occupation of Mexico City
by Gen Obregon with 10000 troops
was officially reported to the state de-
partment today"
The state department summarizes
the situation today substantially as
follows;
'The advantage is still with Villa
Carranza has control Of only Vera
Cruz Mexico City. and Guadalajara.
while Villa has possession OF Mon
terey, SaltillO and the whole of the
north. Villa has an army of $4,000
while our figures gives Carranza only
about $4,000.
I'm order to hold Mexico City Car
rama must keep at least 10000 troops
there and he must also be ready at
IL times to defend Vera Cruz and
Guadalajara. AS a consequence he
will be at the mercy of the combined
forces of Villa which we are informed
he will keep intact for the ultimate
purpose of having a pitched battle
with Carranza. AS soon as possible
he will get hold of the oil fields, as ne
is now at Monterey and Saltillo winch
controls the coal fields. In other
words he has the producing part of
Mexico in his grasp and he is bound
to succeed in the long run.
Dispatches TO the department from
Vera Cruz say that Carranza has is
sued several new DEGREES. One of
these abohshes the office of jeffe
politicO as a useless relic of the old
regime. Another admits wheat free
of duty for two months, and decreas-
es the legal duty on flour TO three
centavos per kilogram. Another de-
cree permits divorces and the mar
riage of the Divorces.

SCIENCE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL.

SCIENCE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL.
a most interesting feature OF the
Summer School is the informal round
table conference. Last Thursday af-
ternoon conference Of teachers in
terested in Science teaching in the
high school was held in the agricul-
ture lecture room, where some twen-.
ty science teachers, high school
principals and sdperintendents dis
cussed these questions: What Science
Should be Taught in the High School
g.. Is the recent movement towards
the introduction of General Sci
ence' in the first year of the high
school wise? :.
Some, difference Of opinion devel-
oped, leading to interested and ami
mated discussion. DR.. Clifton F.
Hodge Of Clark University, Worces-
ter, Massachusetts,, was present and
entered quite helpfully into the con-
ference, stressing the point that the
chief object Of Science teaching in
the high school should be to arouse
interest and scientific curiosity in
the world around US.

The Chautauqua was held under

this particular season Of the year, the
out-of-own people are very busy.
This, together with the fact that the

that there were able speakers upon

:, Every business interest in the
South should feel the vivifying in
fluencG of this splendid grain crop.
The South did not this year turn its
attention to grain as largely as it
should have done, and at the same
time still further lessen its cotton
acreage, but it has made a magnif-
cent start, which indicates its al
most limitless opportunities for
grain-lyrowing.
In 1000 the production of wheat,
corn and oats in the South was 911,-
100000 bushels, compared with this
years yield of 1,540,000,600. We
have thus advanced the production
this year over 1900 by 630,000,000
bushels.
But loking beyond the South to
the whole country we find that Ma
ture has again blessed this land with
abundant crops, already harvested,
and with the promise of splendid
crops now growing. If conditions
do not materially decrease the ex-
pected corn production, this years
crops will largely exceed in value
$40, 100000.

Submission of Note to Cabinet Be-
lieved to Be Only Matter of Form,

Washington, July 19.- President
Wilson arrived this morning and
went Immediately tos the White
House. Secretary Houston was with
the President on his arrival. =
Secretary Of State Lansing called
shortly afterwards to confer regard
ing the German note. He carried a
valise filled with papers relating to
the matter. ,..... ,,%
Mr.. Lansing said that the Orduna
incident, resulting from the attempt
ed attack by: a German submarine in
which 23 American lives were en-
dangered, might delay the American
reply slightly.
The German note is almost certain
to be presented to the Cabinet on
Tuesday, The President and Secre-
tary Lansing, it is understood, made
quick work Of the matter. They con-
ferred about an hour. Neither would
discuss the case, but an air Of final
ity prevailed. It lis apparent that
Mr.. Lansing's and the, Presidents
drafts Of the reply are about the
same. It is believed that submission
to the Cabinet will be merely per-
functory. I =,

ENGLAND CONSIDERS = , -. .. ;.
:. =, sTRIkE" SITUATION.

London, July 49,. David Lloyd
George, minister Of munitions, at last
has taken hand in the South Wales
coal strike. He will go to Cardiff to-
night to have a talk with the men. !
This announcement was made
shortly after it became known that
new proposals had been advanced
which apparently offered good pros
poets Of settlement.
Mr.. Hoyd-George is very popular
with the miners and It is thought a
direct appeal from him will have a
greater effect than any other inflence
A conference between the execu-
tive committee Of the miners and
Walter Runciman, president of@the
board of trade, has been arranged
for tonight, but it was made unneces-
sary by the action Of Mr.. Lloyd
George. The meeting has been can
celled. .
The adjustment proposals, 1t was
defined later, originated with the
miners. They were sent to London
by the executive committee with the
sanction Of the miners leaders, who
believe they will prove acceptable.
It is understood the plan contem-
plated temporary concession of the
miners demands, which, however,
would not be embodied in any new
agreement until the government had
ample time to consider the whole
matter. The questions in dispute
then would be referred to the NUM-
tions court for decision regarding
marginal differences between Mr..
Runciman's proposal and the full de-
mands. 1t is possible Mr.. Runci-
man himself instead of the munitions
court may conduct the arbitration.
The proposed terms entail some
concessions on both sides.

Unduly Alarmed

Milledgeville, Ca, July 19.-Phy,
sicians who examined Leo. M. Frank
in the state prison at 8 o'clock THIS
morning said soon after that his con
dition was much worse. The Jagged
cut in his throat received at the
hands of a fellow convict Saturday
night was swollen and his tempera.
ture was 102 2-5. ill.,.
DIR. H. J. Rosenberg, the Frank
family physician, last night believed
Franks condition warranted him
leaving and he left for Atlanta. He
and another doctor were summoned
here today, however. &c.,. j..
Early today Frank began showing
signs of nervousness, but it was not
considered unusual. His tempera.
ture continued to rise and at about
daylight he was delirious at brief
intervals. The temerature reached
the highest shortly before 8 O'Clock
and then began to drop. At
o'clock it was fraction over 101.
DR.. Guy Compton, the prison ply
siciari, was not SO alarmed over the
turn of the night as were other at.
tendants. He stated today that some
fever was to be expected and that
the swollen neck was not necessarily
within itself an exceedingly danger
Gus sign. Blood poison is most
feared today as the stitches seem to
be holding. The wound was dressed
hurriedly. The weapon might easi,
ly. have been infected and that adds
to the blood poison fears.
William Green, Franks assailant,
still refused to talk today. He is
kept in irons. s.'.Sometof the guards
today recalled that he had expressed
a feeling Of animosity toward Frank
before the latter was brought to the
prison, but that since his arrival they
had not heard him say anything. OF
the case.

VALUABLE COTTON CROP ; !.
EVER RAISED. s.

AhS g. oAh WY NJ SAAS AOA e's- sAAAS,
year will exceed in>value by several
hundred million dollars the total Of
the most valuable cotton crop, ever
produced By, this section. -, a.. !.
+, This remarkable fact is due to an
increase in grain production through
out the South, which will Demon
.strate what this ysectionsis capable Of
doing in the, development Of dive5F.
fed farming. According to the
forecast If grain. peodustj!,n fpr> -the
country, based & on conditiosn July
I, the production Of grain gin the
Southern Statea for this ysar will be
1,54O, 900, 900 bushels, or q grin Of
2s6, 6,O00,0 bushels over last year.
If to the figures covering wheat, corn
and oats: we properly add the rice
crop Of $4,000, 900 bushels, the To-
tai grain for The. South this year will
be 1,579,eoO,OOo: bushels, and as
this yesvs rice crop exceeds By e.
900 800 bushels, last years, : we
.wouid have,a total increase Of grain
in this section Of 2s2,OOO;o00 bush.
els. s.., &. ~. +',,i 7, 4
This phenomenal situation is all
the more impressive when taken in
connection with. the grain crop Of
the entire country. s.
The estimated yield for the coun-
try for the year, including rice, is
5,414, 900, 900 bushels, or sun increase
Of 400, ,O00,0 900 bushels over 1914.
Out Of this total gain, 292,000,000
bushels, or nearly go per cent, is
due to the increase in the South. The
gain in this section will be nearly 23
per cent. over last year, as coG.pared
with only 51z per cent. for the
balance of the country. The actual
gain in the South Is 94,090,000 BUSH
els greater than the Increase in the
balance of the United States. These
figures are wonderfully significant
Of the agricultural possibilities Of
the South, and this increase in grain,
which typifies the increase in food
stuffs generally, will largely Offset
the adverse situation in cotton. I'm
the South corn commands much
higher figure than in the West, run
ming often from 10 20 20 cents a
bushel more than Western prices.
On this basis, therefore, it is safe to
estimate that the grain crops of the
South will represent a gain of at
least s25O,000,OO0 over last years
figures.
Every State, with the exception
of Maryland, whose wheat crop is
short, shares in this increased grain
production. Alabama shows gain
of nearly 100000 bushels; Ar
kansas, 23,5O0,0O0 bushels; Georgia,
