Piled as follows 10 an inquiry last
night from the New York World as to
his opinion regarding the Insurgency
of certain Democratic congressman
against the presidents policy in re-
Spcct Of foreign relations:
The presidents letter TO Senator
Stone is a strong statement and a
correct position. Congress should not
cmbarrasS him in dealing with foreign
relations. 1t is amazing and incredi-
bic that Democrats should lose sight
of their duty as Democrats, as Ameri-
cans and as patriots, by taking action
that would dscrcdit the leader Of the
nation, who alone has the inside in
formation that enables him to deal
properly with these matters Such
proposed action would be treachcry.
ut would be action without full in
cign powers to refuse to acccdc to our
just and honorable demands. Let con
gross understand that ihc ncoplc Of
America are not towards, that they
want peace, but peace only with honor.
that they stand by the president in his

BELOW FREEZING

With a flip and a flop the mercury
descended down and down last night
until the mornings sun arose and
shone down upon little puddles of Wa
ter which had battled all night long
with the biting winds from the north
to be finally coated over with thin
layer of ice.
Agent Cooper of the agricultural de
partment stated this morning that the
chances are that the fruit crop was
not injured by the freeze, the mercury
falling not lower than two degrees be
low freezing. Corn, however that has
shown its tips above the earth's crust
possibly succumbed to the ravages OF
Jack Frost and some of it may have
to be replanted.

Washington, d. c., April Sin
letter TO Hon. Joshua w. Alexander,
Chairman OF the House Committee on
the Merchant Marine and Fisheries,
DIR. e. E. Pratt, Chief Of the Bureau Of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, De-
partment of Commerce, calls atten-
ton to the rapid rise in ocean freight
rates from American ports. A special
point is made of the remarkable rise
in the rates on grain, one of the prin-
cipal American exports. This increase
from New York to Liverpool in the
last two years has been about 900 per
cent, while the increase in the rate on
flour has been 500 per cent and the in
crease on provisions only 400 per cent
The more rapid increase on grain is
accounted for by the fact that in or
dinary times grain Is carried at es-
pecially low rates because OF its de-
Suitability as ballast and because it can
easily be taken on and discharged.
The shortage Of ships that has led
to the remarkable increases in ship
ping rates is attributed to the follow
ing causes in the letter to the commit
tee: ID The elimination of the mer-
chant ships of Germany and Austria
Hungary; (2l the withdrawal of
merchant ships FOR military and naval
purposes; and t3l the loss of ships
through submarine and mining oper-
ations.
The letter is the most complete re
port on the subject Of ocean freight
rates that has yet been published. 1t
includes detailed reports from the
bureaus district offices in New York
Boston, New Orleans, San Francisco
and Seattle, as we'll as data compiled
at the bureau in Washington. A stu
dy Of the many tables of rates reveals
some interesting variations in the
rates from different ports.
In January. 1914, the rate on grain
from New York and Boston to Liver
pool was Al cents per bushel; one
year later the rate from New York to
Liverpool was 1873 cents and from
Boston to Liverpool 1872 to 1872 cents
per bushel In January, 1916. the rate
from New York to Liverpool was 406
