THE WHEAT REPORT,

Reports to the United States Government in,
dictate that there are now on farms in this
country as reserve supply, 150.000.000 bushels
Of wheat. or 100000 bushels more in reserve
at this time than were available year ago
The total crop for this year is also just $50.
100000 bushels larger than last years
This report shows several things. First, that
we have an abundance Of wheat for some weeks
or months TO come, even though we have shipped
abroad larger quantities than ever before
Second. the high prices charged for wheat have
not TO shortage OF supply. A third fact Of great
Importance is that but for the increase over
last years production. there would have been
reserve at all.
We have previously pointed out that the pos.
sbility OF larger wheat supplies through the
opening of the passage from Russian wheat
fields to Europe through the Dardanelles has
resulted in marked reductions in prices of
wheat, thus showing that spectators were
boosting the price and not shortage of supply
causing it. Now comes the positive evidence Of
reserve supply fulfilling our prediction based
not on knowledge OF The actual presence OF
wheat, but ON the positive proof of its presence
given by the striking decline In price when
new supplies were about to become available.
From now on the move for higher prices
and smaller loaves of bread should have little
cause TO progress The bakers, with cheaper
wheat, will be able to supply their bread at
The usual price and size. All Of these things

REGRETS ACTION OF
THE UNITED STATES

NEW ORLEANS, June 2.-Heri-
berto Barron, said to be the founder
OF the Mexican Democratic party, to-
night said he considered the issuance
Of President Wilson's Mexican note
"very unfortunate" Mr., Barron, who
is in New Orleans on a special mis-
sion for General Carranza expressed
the opinion that the note would COM
plicate the Mexican situation by en-
couraging "reactionaries and conspir-
ators" and that it might delay the
restoration of peace.
Jesus Acuna, governor of the state
If Coahuila, now here en- route to
Vera Cruz, said:

should have felt it necessary to inter

forces are on the eve of reoccupying
Mexico City and establishing there a
government which will merit the rec

TRADE COMMISSION
AT BOSTON QUITS

BOSTON, June 2.-The federal
trade commission, which has con-
ferred with leading business men and
bankers for two days on the possbili-
ties of extending foreign trade with
special reference to South Amer
lea, ended its session here today.
Chairman Joseph f. Davis said tho
commission had received suggestions
and information of Importance and
hoped to be of constructive helpful
ness" to the industries Of the country.
Louis X. Liggett president of the
United Drug company, expressed
doubt whether American exporters
would be found to have gained any
great advantage over European busi-
ness men when the war was over. 1t
was his opinion that the termination
of the war would be followed by a
greater output OF products at cheaper
prices in countries now belligerent be-
cause OF the fact that wages would be
lower. while the wage list in this
country, he said. had not yet reached
the high water mark.

Battle in Middle Galicia Is
the Most Sanguinary of
the War.
GERMANS CLAIM THAT
OUTER FORTS FALLEN


7 ONUON, June 2.-GO:l5 p. mD-
Il The battle for Pr2cmysL which
is proving one of the most stubborn
and sanguinary OF the war, continues
with unabated fury. Both sides have
poured reinforcements into the field
and with attacks and countcr-at-
tacks the losses in men and material
are piling up to an unprecedented eX-
tent.
The Germans and Austrian reports
claim that some of the forts on the
northern front have already fallen and
that on the southeastern front their
troops are progressing toward the
railway that joins the fortress with
Lemberg.
The latest Petrograd communica-
ton says, however, that the Germans
who got into one fort were driven out
and it makes no mention of the cap
ture Of Stry or Of other successes
claimed by the Teutonic allies.
100000 Russians Captured.
To the southeast simultaneously
with this battle the Germans are max
ing another effort to break through
the Bzura lines toward Warsaw but
whether this Is a serious attempt to
capture the Polish capital or only a
diversion to prevent the Russians
from sending more roinfOrcements
into Galicia is not disclosed.
The Germans claim to have cap
tured upward Of 100000 Russians and
an immense amount Of material dur
ing the month Of May. Despite this,
the Russians do not appear to have
slaCkened their resistance.
On the GallipOli peninsula the
British and French lines have been
subjected to severe attacks by the
Turks, all OF which according to the
British report issued this evening,
have been repulsed. There. as in
France. trench warfare is being fol-
lowed but in this case the allies have
the support Of their fleet which in
daytime is able to search the Turkish
trenches and prevent the Turks from
coming out into the open and also
support the allies attacks.
British Liner Lost.
SO far as France Is concerned the
most important fighting I'm progress
is to the north Of Arras, where the
Germans and French are contending
for the possession Of the sugar re-
finery at Souchez, which both claim
to hold and on the outskirts OF
Lcpretre forest where the battle for
the trenches has been continuous for
weeks.
The latest victim of the German
submarines is the British liner Saidieh.
which was sunk i'm the North Sea with
seven Of her crew.

SIX OTHERS KILLED


HOUSTON. June An American
Il naval officer, named Green,
from the United States cruiser Sac
ramento was fired upon and narrowly
escaped death at the hands Of Villista
soldiers while investigating the death
of two Americans near the Panuco oil
fields, according to Capt. Oscar Lane
of the tank steamer Winifred, who
arrived here today, bringing news of
the assassination Of six Americans in
the Panuco oil fields by Mcxicans.
Green, who is a lieutenant, was ac-
companied by the American consul
from Tampico. A bullet passed
through Green's hat and barely
graZed his head.
Met by Threats of Death.
The launch bearing the officer and
the American consul carried an
American flag at her stern and a
white flag at her bow Lieutenant
Green Immediately headed for shore,
where he was met by a small band
Of MeXicans. He attempted TO secure
an explanation. Instead he was threat
ened with instant execution, and il
was only the persistent efforts N
the consul that probably prevented
the officers death.
This happened about three weeks
ago. Two Americans had been killed
at a pumping station i'm the oil fields
near Tampico.
The affair was reported to the state
department at Washington.
Captain Lane told Of at least half
dozen Americans who have met
a L., - yT I.,
ring factions between Tampico and
Panuco. He did not recall the names
Of any except Chief Engineer Smith
Of the East Coast Oil company and
J. N. Bennett, an oil man, who were
killed within the past few days.
Smith Shot From Ambush.
The death OF Bennett occurred
while he was on his way to Tampico
to meet his wife, who had sailed from
Galveston to meet him. Bennett fell
in with a small band of Carranzstas
and as they were going down the
river he thought it would be a good
idea to make the journey on board
with them. They had proceeded down
the stream when they were engaged
! by a band of Villistas and Bennett
suffered the same fate as his COM
panions. Chief Engineer Smith was
shot from ambush while he was pro-
ceeding down the river.
A message from the Producers OIL
company representative at Tampico to
Judge X. T.. Brooks. president Of the
concern In Houston, received about 9
o'clock Wednesday ! ight, told Of the
Company's representative at Panuco,
viii Lyme of Houston, arriving safely
in Tampico after having walked most
OF the 30 miles from the oil fields.
He reported that all of the company's s
men in the OIL fields were safe. but
that conditions were serious and that
the men were on tho verge Of starya-
tion, being unable to obtain any sup
plies whatever.

MEXICO WELCOMES
U. S. INTERVENTION
Peace Advocate Says 1t Is
Gratifying to Know of
Wilson's Interest.

GAN ANTONIO, June 2.-Villa and
~ Carranza representatives here
would not discuss President Wilson's
note today until they hear direct from
their chiefs. The large colony OF one
time supporters of former President
Daz and later of General Huerta,
known as cientficos, find significance
in the note. Arturo NJ. Elias former
Huerta consul general for Texas, one
of the leaders in the peace convention
and secretary Of the Mexican peace
assembly organized in San Antonio a
few months ago. made the following
statement:
1T Is especially gratifying to know
that President Wilson may give his
support to the real patriotic and in
telllgent MeXicans in an effort to re-
store their native land to its former
glory. Time has proven that neither
Carranza nor Villa can settle Mexico's 8
troubles, and everybody generally is
tired of a warfare which does nothing
but drain the country and gives moth
ing in return-not even a legitimate
object for their revolution.
The day is rapidly drawing near
when the men who were the backbone
Of the nation in its day of prosperity
will have to once more take up the
task Of building country. With but
few exceptions, these men are all
political refugees in the United States
now. They are mn of intelligence
who, II given the moral support of
the Washington government, will
bring order out of chaos in Mexico,
and as quickly as possible put the
country on its feet.
THAT the president realizes that
there must he q change in conditions
is clearly shown In his note. This
change. in my opinion, will come only
