100000 Acres of Peanuts.

Texas boasts of 100000 acres plant
ed TO peanuts. And that is a pretty
good start. But the state of Madras.
British India, with a territory of
1859 square miles and a population OF
4lsS,0S6, had planted in peanuts in
1915 about 1,750,O00 acres, and the to.
tai yield is estimated at $685. 900 tons
which sold for $6.49 to S11.s4 per can
DIV, $500 pounds.) 1t will be seen that
the East Indian got no such prices for his
crop as the Texas farmer is securing
A large part of his crop went to France
and freights to France have been very
high, which accounts in a measure fol
the low price.-Houston Post.

PUT FRANCO-BRITISH
LOSS AT 100000
Germans Figure 100000 of These Fell
on Somme-Claim Comparative
Small Teuton Losses.

BERLIN, Dec. 19.-The losses of the
French Army TO date have been $780,.
600 and of the British 100000, ac-
eording to competent military author
ity, says an Overseas News Agency
statement.
On the same authority the French
losses on the Somme up to the end of
November are estimated at not less
than 100000 and those of the British
ut $4,000. The statement says:
''The total French losses since the
beginning of the war have been $780,.
900, and the British losses 100000, or
altogether 100000. These figures are
based on most reliable data. They do
not include the losses of the colored
troops of both the French and British
prmies, but as these colored auxiliary
troops are always used as much as pos
sible in great attacks, the total of
French and British losses probably is
several hundred thousand higher.
Elm the engagements on the Somme
since July j, 40 French and British
divisions have been employed. These
were drawn from all parts of the front
from the ocean to Switzerland. The
majority of these divisions, after short
rests, returned twice or even three or
four times to the front.
The French losses on the Somme
mp 10 the end of November are esti-
mated as at least 100000, and the
British at $4,000 men. Thus the total
Of French and British losses on the
SomIne are conservatively estimated as
at least 100000 men. They therefore
exceed considerably the German losses
Us estimated by Germany s enemies at
100000 men. As u matter of fact, the
German losses were much less than $780,
900. D.
AT the same time it must be taken
into consideration that about IS per
cent of all the German wounded, after
a short time, are able to return to the
front, thanks to the excellent medical
care they receive and the high stand
ing of German surgery

Brazil, who took part in the Pan
American concert, which resulted in
the recognition of General Carranza,
called on Secretary Lansing today to
inquire about the action of the United
States They were informed fully and
made no comment. There was no in
dication of a disposition to do more
than gather information.
No Troops Across.
No American troops had crossed
the border this morning so far as the
war department was advised. Many
dispatches were received from General
Funston, however, informing the de-
partment as to the disposition he was
making of his forces at strategic
points.
Secretary Baker said that whatever
reinforcement Funston might require
to maintain an adequate patrol along
the border in addition to the expe-
dictionary force, would be promptly
furnished
He added that the war department
had been deluged with kilograms
from individuals and organizations Of
fering service as volunteers. There
was at present, Secretary Baker said,
no need for summoning volunteers to
the colors, although the department
appreciated fully the patriotic spirit
behind the offers
to whether General Funston would
lead the exped:tionary force in person.
General Funston commands all
forces along the border, whether in
cluded in the expeditions or upon pa
troll and garrison duty
State Endorses Action.
Washington, March 1.-THE senate
foreign relations committee today
unanimously endorsed the action of
/ the president in sending American
troops into Mexico to capture Villa and
his marauders.
1t was decided informally after full
discussion of the circumstances aud
explanation of the administration
course by Chairman Stone hat there
was nothing for congress to do at his
time.
Republican and Democratic mem
bers agreed there were precedents for
the administrations course, that the
dispatch of the troops was legally
called an act short of war" and
therefore not within the jurisdiction
| however, commit itself beyond the
point to which the administration had
actually gone and endorsed the
course Of the administration thus
far"
Went Only So Far
Should General Carranza resent the
/ presence of American troops in Mex
lean territory it was explained the
situation might be changed and neces-

/ leans of the committee were particu-
lar not to commit themselves to an
endorsement of anything more than a
punitive expedition unresisted by the
forces of the Mexican de facto GOV
rnment.

movements of the expedition.
The state department has informed
General Carranza of the action of the
Washington government and expressed
the hope that he would not object.
Eliseo Arredondo, CarrarZa's ambas-
sador here, has indicated his chief
would not oppose the movement.
Members of congress without regard
to party approve the step. the only
difference of opinion being on the part
of certain r epubhcaI.s who favor even
more extensive operations than those
planned by the administration. On
both sides of the capitol the DISPOSE
ton apparently is to allow the presi
dent to handle the situation for the
present.
Steps to prevent discussion of the
subject in congress and forestall any
action which might interfere with the
presidents plans were to be taken at
a meeting today of the senate foreign
called by Senator Stone late yesterday
after the president had outlined his
position to him.
President Wilson was today aboard

Funston Busy Until Midnight.
San Antonio, Texas, March 11.-Un-
til midnight General Funston was at
headquarters at Fort Sam Houston di-
recting the work of a score of men
receiving and filing Geographic orders
to all points in the southern depart
ment. While It is understood he will
leave for the border as soon as the
movement of troops ordered to enter
Mexico is completed, he said late last
night that he would receive final or
ders from Washington today.
Last night General Funston ordered
two companies of infantry to Deming,
N. NJ, on receipt of urgent represent
atoms from citizens of that town ask
ing for protection. Deming is sixty
miles north of Columbus, the scene of
Thursdays battle, and is town of
about 10000 people. There are a con-
siderable number of MeTcans living
in Deming.
