TO PUBLISH LUSITANIA NOTE
State Department Has Germany's Con-
sent-WouId Quiet Alarms.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Announce-
ment that the last German note on the
Lusitania, submitted to the state de-
partment nearly six months ago, is to
be published, is the direct answer to
those who feared return to power of
the Won Tirpitz element in Germany,
with a consequent renewal Of ruthless
submarine warWare, officials asserted.
The publication is to be made with
Germany's consent.
The note, declaring the killing of
Americans on the Lusitania was unin-
territorial, and expressing profound re-
greet for loss of American life, is de-
clared to be a complete guarantee in
the name Of the German people against
any such submarine campaign as that
which precipitated' the German-Ameri-
can crisis.

ENOUGH WILL BE LEFT TO MEET
NORMAL EXPORT REQUIRE
MENTS, GOVERNMENT Of
FICIALS ASSERT.
SENSATIONAL RISE is DUE
TO MARKET ADJUSTMENT
Unusually Large Carry-over Of Old
Wheat From Last Years Crop Will
Afford More Than Average
Carry-over of Preceding
Five Years.

Washington, Aug. 11.-This year S
wheat crop will be sufficient for the
needs of home consumption and there
will be enough left to meet the nor
NAL export requirements.
That is the view of government OIL
Gals who said the sensational rise IN
wheat prices and corresponding In
crease in the price Of flour, following
the governments last report indicat-
ing crop about two-thirds the size OF
last years, was the result Of the mar
ket adjusting itself from crop of alb
normal proportions to one of much
smaller size.
Unusually Large carry-over.
Experts of the Department of Agri'
culture calculate 62O,O00,0O0 bushels
of wheat will be required for home
consumption this year. A crop OF
654 100000 bushels, as forecast Aug
1, would leave 100000 bushels OF
this years crop available for export
In addition there was an unusually
large carry-over of old wheat from last
years crop, amounting to approx
mately 16O,O00,0O0 bushels, or about
100000 bushels more than the aver
age carry-over of the preceding five
years.
With the carry-over of old wheat
and the surplus Of this years estimat
ed crop, officials believe the United
States will have at least 100000
bushels available for export purposes
Heavy Export Requirements.
In normal years the export Of wheat
including flour, averages about 1926,
100000 bushels. In the first year OF
the European war, 333,O00,C00 bushels
were exported and last year the tota
was about 25O,00O,OOO bushels. What
export requirements will be this veal
cannot be foretold, government Off
Gals say, but it is expected to be
heavy as the worlds wheat crop this
year promises to be much smaller
than last year, when it was unusually
large.

Substitute for Munitions Tax.

Washington, Aug. 11.-A net profit
excise tax against all manufacturers
selling goods to foreign governments
as substitute for the munitions tax
in the pending revenue bill is being
seriously considered by Democrats of
the Senate finance committee. 1t
probably will be agreed on for sub
mission to the Democratic caucus.
The tax on munitions Of war, includ-
ing copper products, as proposed in
the House bill, has been giving Dem

HUGHES DECLARES TARIFF

Republican Nominee Repeats His
Views on Preparedness in Ad-

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. IL
Charles E. Hughes, republican presi-
Dental nominee, told an audience of
farmers in the Auditorium here that
he believed in protective tariff that
would protect them as we'll as the men
in the factories.
81 believe in protective tariff" Mr..
Hughes said. Il believe in protection
without abuse. I think that is possible.
Mr. Hughes repeated his views on

reasonable preparedness.

REPUBLICAN STANDARD BEARER
ASSAiLS ADMINISTRATION FOR
iNEFFICiENCY, WASTE AND
EXTRAVAGANCE.
WOULD STOP LOG ROLLING
IF ELECTED TO PRESIDENCY
Asserts Wilson Could Save Public
Purse From Being Looted in the In
terest Of These ridiculous Appro-
priations" Made in Rivers
and Harbors Bill.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 12.--Ch0r!es -.
Hughes in his address here assailed
the present administration for ineffi-
cheney, waste and extravaganza, partl-
cularly with reference to the rivers
and harbors bill recently passed by
Congress.
Il think l may say without rash
ness" Mr.. Hughes told an audience
here, that the government of the
United States is recklessly wasteful,
shamefully incompetent and extrava-
CANT, reproach to the Intelligence of
the people because Of its inefficiency.
II would like to have the authority
to investigate this administration for
about six months" the nominee de-
clared The rivers and harbOrs bill,
known to the people as the pork barrel
bill, is largely monies wasted, as
there is no expert examination to de-
termine what expenditures are need
ed.
Log Rolling Condemned.
con the contrary, it very largely
depends on who are the influential
men representing particular districts
and what appropriations are obtained
in this district and that district for
this man and that man.
THAT is a matter Of log rolling. 1t
brings the blush of shame to the
cheeks of every American. 1t ought
to be stopped. If I am elected presi-
dent, to the best of my ability l pro-
pose to stop it,
Mr. Hughes declared the pork bar
rel' bill of 1914 was talked to
death" by Senator Burton, a fine Re
publican, and in 1915 the bill was re.
duced materially because of the oppo-
sition of Republicans and conscientious
Democrats.
RidicuIes Appropriations
"This year, just the other day." the
nominee continued, Congress passed
rivers and harbors bill of some $42,-
100000. I confess I don't know why
such a measure should receive ap-
proval. We have heard a great deal
lately of the power Of the executive
leadership. 1t has been powerfully ex-
erted, why cannot it be exerted to save
the public purse from being looted in
the interest of these ridiculous appro-
priations?"
-Four years ago our opponents ar
raigned the Republican party for ex-
travagance and waste and reckless ex-
penditure. Then they proceeded to be
more lavish in appropriations than the
Republican party had been. They ar
raigned the Republican party for lack
of businesslike administration and they
proceeded to be absolutely profligate
in their appropriations"
For Clear Course in Mexico.
The Mexican situation was discussed
at length. The administration, said
Mr.. Hughes, by vacillation, weakness
and wrongheadedness, had brought us
very close to grave difficulties there.
The one clear course we had in Mexi-
co was to protect the rights of Ameri-
can citizens.
The nominees schedule for today
has been changed. He left here four
hours earlier than he expected, to de-
liver night address at Billings, Mont.
