WHEAT..-A BILLION BUSHELS

A billion bushels Of wheat, in
round numbers, must bring vast
wealth to the American farmers
whether or not the war Of Europe
goes on throughout the year. And
always along with the prosperity Of
the American farmers goes the
prosperity of the whole nation.
1t would be silly to predict now
\what the average price of that bill
lion bushels Of wheat will be,
whether the war is to be long drawn
out or whether it is soon to end.
But, war or no war, that billion
bushels of wheat must have an ag-
gregate value which in any other
era of the worlds history would
have been a fable. AS compared
with normal times this billion
bushels of wheat, even though the
war should stop tomorrow, would
be in eager demand by the Old
World as we'll as by our New World
because, outside of the limited sup
plies of Russia, there are no surplus
wheat stores in Europe. And in the
great wheat growing countries there
has been nothing like the normal
planting and cultivation against the
need of the next year, war or peace.
If we had been unable to put in
full wheat crop last spring, not to
speak of winter wheat last fall, as
virtually all Europe was unable to
do, it would be too late now. Ex-
cept south of the equator. there will
be, and there can be, no wheat
crops on the face of the earth this
year that are not assured already.
So, whether we ourselves should
get into the war or remain out of
it, whether Europe should remain
in the war or come out Of it, our
billion bushels of wheat will mean
so many hundred millions of dollars
more than wheat ever did mean be-
fore, with the single exception of
this last ten months, that the re-
suits, direct and indirect, in wealth
first to the American farmers and
next to all the American people, are
immeasurable.

throes of Caesar were faithfully de-
picted. In other days visitors came,
and saw, and gasped. But what
Chamber of Horrors could compete
with the deadly sandstorms and the
actual train wrecks and the plunges
over Niagara Falls of the modern
motion picture? -
To the strictly modern nervous
system the wax works would cause
scarcely "a culver. To the shock
absorbing mentality of. the ! New
Yorker they seemed hopelessly. out
of date, and even the occasional Wis

fer the syncopated entertainment of
the "eating" places and the wild
gyrations of New York's giddiest
tangoists and dipsters on roof tops
and summer gardens.
1t only remains to be seen whether
the Eden Musee is TO- be usurped by
the more thrilling and relentless

communication of diplomacy any
thing to cut supposedly friendly
government to the raw and to
arouse a valorous people to frenzy.
But with this nation massed al
most to a man at his back in the
unyielding demand that no more OF
our people be made the victims OF
submarine piracy, Mr.. Wilson cannot
have failed to drive home to the mind
of official Berlin the deep and last
ing conviction that uhe American
position shall no longer he defied, no
longer be ignored, no longer be
trifled with. That is all Berlin wants
to know; it is all Berlin has ever
wanted to know.

Article 3. The Chinese government
consents to Japans building rail-
way from Onefoo or Lungkow to
Join the Kiau-Chau-Tsinan railway.
Article 4. The Chinese government
engages, in the interest of trade and
for the residence of foreigners, to
open by itself. as soon as possible,
certain important cities and towns
in the province OF Shantung as COM
mercial ports. What places are to be
opened are to be decided upon by
the two governments by separate
agreement.
Section III. The japanese govern
ment and the Chinese government,
since the Chinese government mas
always recognized the special posi-
ton enjoyed by Japan In south man
churia and eastern inner Mongolia,
agree to the following articles:
Article /. The two contracting par
ties mutually agree that the term
OF lease of Port Arthur and Dalny,
and the term of lease of the South
Manchurian railway and the An
tung- -Mukden railway shall be eN-
tended to the period OF ninety-nine

buildings for trade and manufacture
or for farming.

anese material to be purchased.

Including dockyards, in the province
OF Fukien, Japan shall be first con-
suited.
Article 7. China agrees that Jap.

ernments,
addition to the problem of inducing
China to agree to these demands.
Japan now faces the problem OF rec
onciling the demands with her prior
treaties and agreements with Great
Britain, Russia. France, and the
United States, and also the problem
of reconciling her statement of the
demands, furnished to the govern
ments to which she is under treaty
obligation, with the truth as evideno-
ed by the document which her min
lister handed to President Yuan. and
which has been under consideration
by the plenipotentiaries ever since.
No easy explanation that the ar
ticIes suppressed in the statement
given to the foreign governments
were merely "desiderata' and not de-
Iulands; only traders" and not matters
of vital Importance that would be
frmly insisted upon, can any longer
be made to serve.
In the blunt phrase OF the street
Japan has attempted to double GROSS
the rest of the world regarding China
and has been caught at II. 1t now
remains TO be seen how she will sci
out of II.

STATE MAY START
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
COMPLAINTS REPEATEDLY MADE
THAT EAST COAST CANAL NOT
PROPERLY MAlNTAlNED-GO
ERNoR WRITES LETTER.

Unless the East Coast Canal COM
pany gets busy and cleans up the
waterway down the East Coast of
Florida the state will institute legal
proceedings for the purpose of re-
quiring a proper maintenance of
the canal. Governor Park Trammell
has so informed George w. Gibbs,
of St. Augustine, general manager of
the canal company, the letter from
the governor to the general manager
being dispatched few days ago.
The action taken by the governor
is the first move in long time to
improve conditions along the East
Coast canal Yachtsmen have been
complaining of the conditions exist
ing at the present time, Capt. Dich
Carney reporting few days ago thai
he was held up near Prosperity
Farms by getting stuck in the sand
Although the canal is practically i'm
passable at certain points, the cana
company still collects toll at three
different stations along the line.
In the agitation aroused week o.
two ago to have the United State
government purchase the East Coas
canal route in preference to routin
the inland waterway down the 81
Johns river to Sanford and across t

Titusville, the conditions of the Dnsk
Coast canal were told Of. but It wae@
maintained that the waterway was a
good condition. Further information
brought out that in many places the
canal was filled up by sand bars and
that the canal company was absolute
ly neglecting to keep the waterway II
passable shape. The entire history Of
the canal was aired at several meet
ings held in Miami, the people there
favoring the st. Johns river route tor
the canal, says the Miami Metropolis.
In letter to Frank Baker, Of Nj
ami Governor Trammell states that
1.-THE Board of Trustees of the internal
improvement fund has no further au@s
thority or control over the East Coast
canal We did write them letter
some few weeks ago in which we re-
quested that they should maintain the
canal at its proper width and depth.
If they decline to do so it is my idea
that, if it should become necessary,
mandamus proceedings should be In
stituted against the company to force
it to do it's duty by the canal"
Although the l. /. Board has no au-
thority over the canal company the
state can take the matter up and
force the company to comply with
the original contract. Governor Tram
melrs letter to Mr.. Gibbs is taken
as indicating the ideas of the state
on the canal matter. The letter says
that the canal should be cleaned "im-
mediately." The governors letter to
Mr.. Gibbs is as follows:
1T has been brought to the atten-
ton of the trustees of the Internal
Improvement Fund that your company
is failing to maintain the Florida
