of Country's Attitude.

Paris, Nov. 22.-The Athens CORE

the Entente powers have declared a
commercial blockade Of Greece. The
announcement to this effect, made in
the form Of note issued by the Brit

BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that aIe re-
ported OF the wheat crop Of Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the esta,
mate of an average yield over the
three western provinces OF upward OF
% bushels per acre. There is NO
portion of that great west OF "a, Zoo
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price Of
the land out OF this years crop Oh
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice of the Department of tbs
Interior to cultivate the unOccupied
land. have done as well.
But the story OF the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language Of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased ton.
mage Of the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The c. P. r. earnings for the second
week of October showed an increase
of $4,000 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the grOss
earnings of the corresponding week
of 1918, when the Western wheat crop
made new record for that date. The
increase III G. p. r. earnings for tbs
corresponding week Of that year was
only 1851 900, or less than half OF the
increase reported this year. The
grain movement in the West within
the past two weeks has taxed the re
sources OF the Canadian roads as
never before, despite their increased
facilities. The G. P. r. is handling 1000
cars per day, a new record. The
G. T. r. and the G. N. r. are also MAX
ing new shipment records. The Other
day the w. Grant Morden, of the Can
ada Steamships Company, the largest
freighter of the Canadian feet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down O cargo OF
Canadian shipping. Records are go
ing by the board" in all directions THE
fall, due to Canada's record crop The
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port of New York ever
known is reported for the period up
to October 18th, when since shipments
Of the new crop began in August,
4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
of American wheat from the same port
in the same period. And, be it remem.
bered, Montreal, not New York, is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
in competition with Montreal ~-Ad.

PRESIDENT PUTS ASIDE OTHER
PUBLIC BUSINESS TO CON-
PLETE ANNUAL MESSAGE
TO CONGRESS.
LARGE APPROPRIATIONS
FOR DEFENSE PROGRAM
Representative Fitzgerald Asks Exec
utiVe to Indicate How He Thinks
Money Needed for Greater Army
and Navy May Be Raised, In
Speech at Joint Session.

Washington, Nov 81 President
Wilson will put aside practically all
other public business this week to de.
vote his entire time to completing
his third annual message to Congress.
which he plans to read personally at
a joint meeting of the Senate and
House December Z. He has given in.
structions that none but very import
ant engagements be made for him.
Representative Fitzgerald, chairman
Of the House appropriation commit.
tee, held long conference with the
President and urged him to include
in the message an outline Of methods
considered best for raising revenues
to meet the appropriations deemed Ger
tain to be greatly increased because Of
the administration national defense
plan.
How to Raise Money Needed.
The view was taken by Mr.. Fitz-
gerald that the President should at
least indicate generally how he
thought the needed money might be
raised ard it was considered probable
that this will be done.
Other advisers of the President
however, have told him that since rev
enue measures must originate in the
House he ought not to appear to try
TO usurp that power.
Although the President may not re-
fer to all the subjects in his message at
the opening Of Congress, the program
which the administration hopes to see
disposed of during the coming session
includes:
Strengthening the army and navy
in accordance with the plans outlined
by Secretaries Garrison and Daniels.
A merchant bill.
Rural credits legislation.
Ratification of the Haiticn, Colon
bian and Nicaraguan treaties.
The bill to give a greater measure
Of self government to the Philippines
and promising ultimate independence.
Conservation measures which failed
Of final passage at the last session.
More Power to Prosecute Plots.
Amendment Of the antitrust laws
to allow use of common selling agen.
cies abroad by American exports.
Legislation to protect the American
market against the Dumping of
cheap foreign products following the
European war
Amendment to the Sherman anti
trust law so as TO give the federal
government more power to prosecute
plots to interfere with American com
nerce by blowing up factories and
ships.
The administration also is interest
ed in the effort to establish budget
system for co-ordinating expenditures
and revenues of the government and
in a closure rule for the Senate.
The President, however is not ex-
pected to take direct part in the
closure fight,
