FOOD STUFFS ARE CONTRABAND

Ambassador Page at London
oabled the state department Tuesday,
that the British feet had been order
ed to treat cargoes of grain and -four
destined for Germany ar Austria as
conditional c~ontraband, subject to
seizure and c~onfiscation.
This step. the ambassador explain
ed. followed the announcement that
the German government had decreed
confiscation of all grain and -four to
conserve the nations food supply.
Since the publication of the Ger
man order the ambassador here.
Count Won Bernstorff, personally has
assured the American government
that no foodstuff imported from the
United States or neutral countries
would be subject to seizure, and press
dispatches have announced assur-
ance of a modifying decree making
such exemption by the German gov
eminent.
Ambassador Page said the Bristish
government had informed him that
because the steamship Wilhelmina,
now bound from New York to Ham
burg. with grain, and other food, had
sailed before the issuance of the
German decree an exception would
be made in her case.
The vessel would be seized. it was
said, but she would be released and
her cargo purchased at invoice price
by the British government. Warn
ing was given, however, that other
shipments hereafter of like character
when destined for Germany directly
or indirectly would be seized, as well
as the vessels carrying them, without
compensation being paid.
This announcement put an entirely
new complexion on the negotiations
that have been in progress intermit-
tently since the beginning of the wal
in regard to the right of neutral
states to ship food supplies to be lig.
erent countries.
In a recent British note to Secre-
terry of State Bryan it was stated the
conclusion had not been reached to
interfere with such shipments provid-
ing they were intended for the non.
combating elements of the population
and not for the army of a belligerent
state with which England was at war
1t was intimated then, however. thai
the exceptional conditions of the
present war might warrant some such
action as an act of retaliation.
The state department has not de
cided what shall be done in the mat
ter and is considering carefully tn,
whole subject.

RICHER IN 1918.

Among the Fifty Reasons why
the United States is to Grow Richer
in 1915" the following are grouped
under the head of Agriculture by
the writer. B. C. Forbes. financial
editor of the Hearst newspapers:
American farmers, very tardily,
are learning the incalculable value
of crop rotation.
1.-The South has increased its
Winter wheat acreage 50 per CEN and
corn average promises to be similar
ly extended.
"A proper system of credit for
our farmers is to be established,
probably before 1915 ends. This is
a consideration of great Importance.
Heavy immigration from rural
Europe should provide our farmers
with a more adequate supply of labor
and should also lead to the cultiva-
ton of greater acreage throughout
the country.
Our total farm products in 1914
are estimated by the government at
almost $40, 900 ,0O0, 600 in value. a
figure never before attended.
"High prices for all food products
will enrich our farmers during 1915.
Prosperity is enabling farmers to
buy more laboI-saving machinery.
purchase better grades of breeding
cattle and improve their homes, thus
making their daily life more COM
Portable.
Remarkable advances in agricul-
tural science combined with the un-
matched efficiency of our federal de-
partment of agriculture. have greatly
reduced the danger of any general
failure of crops

WHITE SOX WIN FROM
BLACK IN BASKET BALL

The weekly basketball games in
the gymnasium of the high school
building are creating a great deal OF
interest among students and public,
and at each game the audience is
larger than the architects of the
building anticipated when they fall
ed to provide adequate accommoda-
lions for spectators. The seating ca
pacity is limited and even standing
room is needed in the small gallery
provided. At some future date Ii
is hoped this can be overcome by ex-
tending the gallery around the gym
nasium.
