Chicago, Feb. "a -Rttnd0rs that
Ambassador Won Bernst0rff was about
to be handed his passports smashed
down the prices of wheat today 7A
cents 6ushel. In the collapse,
which was from an early advance,
the My option fell from $1.24A to
$1.l7. The close was excited, TO
5A cents under yesterdays finish,
with May at $1.17h and July at
$1.14%. Other leading staples, too,
all showed decided setback-corn
IA to 1ss to 15s cents: oats cents,
and provisions 12R. to Is cents.
Almost Panic.
Conditions that bordered on panic
ruled in the wheat pit just before the
end of the session. Flurried holders
were tumbling over each other in a
rush to stop huge losses, which with
unusual suddenness had resulted al.
most entirely from unverified reports
that drastic action was imminent on
the part of President Wilson in re-
gard to German plans for attacks by
submarines.

ONE GOOD BhTTLESH|P
COULD DESTROY FLEET
Admiral Winslow Tells the Naval
Committee Pacific Fleet Is
Useless.

Washington, Feb. 24.-While the
house militry committee was taking
steps today toward getting it's bill for
increasing the regular army and fed.
eralizing the National Guard before
the house within ten days, the naval
committee was being informed by Ad.
miral Cameron R. Winslow, that the
entire Pacific fleet, which he com.
mands, might be an easy victim for a
single good enemy battleship.
Pressed by Representative Ste.
phens of California for an exact de-
scription of the ships under his com.
mand, Admiral Winslow said the force
was wholly inadequate to meet any
probable enemy in the Pacific. What
plans the navy department has for
meeting an emergency there, or in
the Atlantic, however, he said, were
matters Of strategy, which he did not
care to reveal except in confidential
session.
The military committee is making
rapid progress in considering the bill
Chairman Hay was authorized to
frame and which now has been print
ed confidentially. 1t is expected this
draft will be made public this week.

Hoboken, N. j., Feb. Ex-Governor

England.

Eight more delegates who went to
Europe as members of the Henry

arrived today on the HOLLAND Ameri-
can liner Nieuw Amsterdam. Mr.. Ford
went down the bay on q cutter and
met the ship at quarantine. CASTOR
Plaintiff, his business representative,
after Mr.. Ford himself left the party
to return to America, stated today
that the expedition had thus far cost
his employer 100000 and that his
peace efforts are to be continued
through delegates who remained in
Europe.
Jones Makes Statement.
A statement issued by DR.. jenkins
Lloyd Jones of Chicago, one of the
returning delegates, said that while
members of the party admitted the
crudities and incoherences" of the
experiment., because ''the company
was hastily gathered and therefore
poorly organized" yet a very definite
impression was made in at least four
of the neutral countries, a wide dis
cussion Of the principles of peace
being promoted, pacifists everywhere
stimulated, and "cheer and hopeful
ness carried to the men in the
trenches"

Portugal
Seizes .36
Vessels

Lisbon, Portugal, Feb. 24.-The Of
fetal Gazette publishes the decree,
under which Sc German and Austrian
merchant ships, lying in the Tagus
river, were seized by the commander
of the naval division here yesterday.
1t appears that the seizure was un'
der law passed by parliament on
February 7. The premier, in an in.
terview, aflirms that the seizure is
not an act Of war, but simply a mea-
sure in the public interest.
The Portuguese minister in Berlin
has been instructed to explain to the
German government the significance
of the seizure, and give assurances
that the rights of the owners will be
respected.
Portuguese crews have been placed
on board the ships seized. ...

THE GARDENERS FRIENDS.
Why Birds az Well as 1oads Should Be
Guarded and Encouraged.

Why Birds az Well az 1oads Should Be
Guarded and Encouraged.
All successful gardeners know that
toads are their best friends. but all of
them do not know the value Of birds
as insect destroyers. The department
of agriculture has reported that the
annual crop loss to the United States
from insect pests is over $795,000,OO0.
An expert has estimated that certain
larvae will consume 200 times their
original weight in twenty-four hours.
If an infant did as much as some cater
pillars, he would weigh forty tons at
maturity.
All investigators agree that the song
and game birds are the best Of agents
for destroying insects. One authority
says that it Is more than likely that
successful agriculture would become
impossible, If all the birds were to be
exterminated. The work Of the friend
ly flicker, who likes the city almost as
we'll as the country, is good example
Of what an energetic bird will accom-
plish If unhindered. Certain dickers
that were subjected to survey were
found to devour 5000 ants day while
two orioles feasted on $500 plant lice
at single meal. The amateur gar
dener usually comes to his first grief
in consequence Of his ignorance of the
ways of plant lice. BY encouraging
birds as we'll as toads to live in his
garden he can reduce his troubles with
insects to minimum.

MOTH PREVENTION.
How to Keep the Pests From Destroy.
ing Carpets.

How to Keep the Pests From Destroy
ing Carpets.
IAN ounce of prevention is worth a
pound Of cure" so now is the time to
send out all your scouts in search Of
the troublesome moth. If you fear that
they are at work at the edge of your
carpets it will sometimes suffice to lay
a wet towel over them and press well
with fatiron. but the best way is to
take the carpet up, clean it and give a
good deal of attention to the floor.
Look in the, cracks, and If you discover
signs of moths wash the floor with ben.
zine and scatter red pepper on it before
again putting your carpets down.
Heavy carpets sometimes do not re-
quire taking up, every year unless in
constant use. Take out the tacks from
these. fold the carpets back, wash the
floor in strong acids with a tablespoon
full Of borax dissolved in them. Dash
insect powder or lay tobacco leaves
along the edge and retack. Turpentine
is also very good. Mix the turpentine
with water in proportion of three table.
spoonfuls to three quarts Of water and
then, after the carpet has been well
swept, go over each breadth carefully
with a sponge dipped in the solution
and wrung, nearly dry. Change the
water as often as 1t becomes dirty, and
the carpet will be nicely cleaned as
we'll as disinfected. All moths can be
kept away and the eggs destroyed by
using these means.
