Washington.--A billion bushel wheat
crop. the greatest ever grown in the
worlds history. is indicated for the
coming harvest in the forecast by the
federal crop reporting board on the

Should that enormous quantity be

have upwards of 3S5,OOO,OOO bushels
of wheat during the coming year to
supply the demands OF the warning
European nations, which are expected
to increase rather than diminish. Do,
nestle consumption this year probably
will reach $4,000 900 bushels for food

Robert Lansing, successor to John
Bassett Moore as counselor OF the
state department, became secretary
Of state ad interim, when Secretary
Bryan's resignation took effect. He
is lifelong Democrat and sonin-law
Of John w. Foster, secretary OF state
under President Harrison. He has
years.
While there Is much gossip already
as to President Wilson's probable Sc
lection for the secretaryship, It is the
presidents plan to make no immediate
appointment, II would not be surpris-
ing If he made no change in the pres
ent status OF the departments person
mel for two or three months.
Mr.. Lansing has prepared memoran-
da for practically all Of the important
notes that have gone to belli&erent
government since the European war
began, and is looked upon not only as
an expert In international law, but as
a clear thinker and adviser. For many
years he has served on boundary com.
missions and arbitration tribunals. He
is a comparatively young man, we'll
acquainted with all the governments
policies and has won the admiration
OF the president and Mr. Bryan by his
loyalty to the secretary of state as his
superior officer, On many occasions
Mr.. Lansing has submitted memoranda
expressing views differing from those
OF Mr.. Bryan, but he has tactfully
avoided embarrassments.

SWEDISH ENMITY
 MORE PRONOUNCED

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The London Morning Post declares the attitude of Sweden toward Russia and the latter's allies for some time past has revealed elements of disquieting character.
 "Emboldened by recent German successes" the newspaper says. "the latent hostility of Sweden, which has never forgiven the loss of Finland, has become strongly developed. Con- siderable preparation for warlike con- tingencies have been made in north Sweden and the Swedish army is full ly mobillzed. If Sweden persists in her unfriendly attitude toward Rus sia, she may rapidly drift into war which would inevitably be a great obstacle to her future progress"
 The Times in long analysis of the Swedish situation, says the war par ty has lost it's importance and the people generally accept neutrality as the wisest course.

 SAIL FOR
 VERA CRUZ

WASHINGTON, Aug n. - With trouble believed to be im- minent on the Mexican border and at Vera Cruz, Mexico, the machinery of the army and navy departments was set in motion and official Washington was astir to watch developments at both points.
 As a result of threatened anti foreign demonstrations at Vera Cruz, orders were issued at noon for the Atlantic fleet, now at Newport, to be prepared for im- mediate departure for Mexican waters.
 Later Secretary Daniels of the navy, said he had ordered the battleships New Hampshire, Louisiana and Connecticut "to go to Southern waters" and would announce their destina- tions later. The New Hampshire and Louisiana are now eighteen hours out of Newport, with seal ed orders, and the Connecticut is in Haytien waters. It was generally understood that all three vessels were headed for Vera Cruz.
 cARRANzA WARNS LANSING.
 That General Carranza was precip- itating the newst trouble with the United States was the claim of the United Press this afternoon Carran- za sent Secretary Lansing of the State Department, a shorp note. advis- ing him to "cease meddling with the affairs of Mexico" Simultaneously Carranza sent a message to the Pan American conferees, notifying each that they had better keep their gov ernments out of the conference"
 Secretary Lansing and the conferees who received copies of Carranza's note were unanimous in their verdict of what 1t meant "It is little less than a document Of open defiance to the efforts of the United States and the Pan-American republics to bring the Mexican factions into conference for a peaceful settlement of their diff ferences," Secretary Lansing said.
 constituslonaIlsts Alarmed"
 In letter to Secretary Lansing, Elesio Arredondo, Carranza's Wash lngton agent. says the reports that the conference had undertaken to devise plan for the pacifcation of Mexico 'haye caused the constitutional gov ernment to feel justly alarmed
 The conference was in session this morning, with diplomatic representa- lives of Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Bo- iivia and Uruguay present to meet Secretary Lansing The idea was adopted to appeal to all Mexicans to subordinate their personal and selfish interests to the national welfare of that country and a communication to this effect was drawn up. It will be distributed in Mexico, as both Secre- tary Lansing and President Wilson have approved 1t.
