their output at 60 to 40 cents a dozen
while today they are quoted at a few
cents over 81 and the indications are
the price will be higher. The pack
of corn was not as large in 1915 as
it was in 1914 on account of the poor
crop and quality but the canned corn
situation is quite different from the
tomato situation. While canned corn

ONLY TWO AMERICANS
ABOARD STEAMER PERSIA

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The ad-
ministration continued today to mark
time in the situation arising from the
sinking of the British steamer Per
sia, while. waiting definite information
concerning the attck on the vessel
Until the full facts are at hand, how
ever, the next move in the new crisis
with the Teutonic powers will not be
determined upon.
Only two Americans were aboard
the Persia, when it was sunk. The
American consul al Marseiles today
advised the state department that he
had obtained passenger list from
the steamship agent there which def
initely fixed the number of Americans
at two, Robert McNeely, of North
Carolina, and Charles H. Grant of
Boston.
Acting upon instructions from the
president, Secretary Lansing has or
dered American consular Officers to
obtain affidavits from the survivors
of the Persia and to Immediately
cable summaries of their contents. A
report also is awaited from Ambas-
sador Penfield at Vienna regarding
his inquiries at the Austrian foreign
office
While the situation here still was
as tense as ever officials were hope
full that new way wo1id be found
for an amicable settlement of the So
sue.
President Wilson conferred with
Secretary Lansing for an hour today
over the new submarine crisis No
additional facts, beyond the definite
knowledge that only two Americans
were aboard the Persia, had been re-
caived by the state department over
might. Such information as had al
ready been received, however, was
carefully reviewed.
There still was every indication no
action would be taken pending the re-
ceipt of ufller advices. Whether the
status of the Persia was changed from
an unarmed liner to that of a vessel
which might technically be classified
as armed by the fact that she mount
ed one gun is a point which United
States navy experts will be called up
on to help determine. Meager dis
patches have failed to indicate wheth-
er the gun was mounted for defense
or offense
