MACHINE GUNS ORDERED.

Preparations are being made by the
Colts Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing
Company to build the 10000 machine
guns which the United States Govern
ment expects to buy for the forces that
will be sent to France. Two models of
the Browning gun, the manufacture of
which is controlled by the Colt Company,
have been approved by the ordnance
board of the War Department, which
recommends the purchase of 10000 of
the heavy type and 10000 of the lighter
type One of the officers of the COM
pany said last night that it would be the
biggest order that the company has re-
ceived. The formal order is expected any
day.
The light type of Browning gun weighs
but fourteen pounds and is the lightest
machine gun on the market. Hartford
will be calling for skilled mechanics in
large numbers as soon as the order is re-
ceived, and the order will mean great in
crease in revenue for the company The
500, 600 automatic pistols which are being
made for the new national army will be
the only American manufactured small
arm that will be taken by the new army
to France.

Farmers Hoard Wheat.

An increase rather than further de-
crease in the price of flour because of the
food bill uncertainty and the boarding of
wheat by farmers is threatened by flour
merchants in Boston and other large cities
of the country. Massachusetts, Congress-
men have been urged to press for action
on the food bill and to secure in it power
for the government to commander all
wheat that may. be boarded.
A telegram sent to the Bay State dele
cation yesterday by Bernard j. Roth
well, president of the Bay State Milling
Company and former president of the
Boston Chamber of Commerce, read:
Though over 400, 900, 900 bushels of
winter wheat has been harvested, and the
July movement from the farms is ordi-
narily very heavy, farmers now almost
universally refuse to sell at any price,
stacking or putting in barns, and con-
structing new wooden storage to hold in
definitely. Unless food bill authority to
commander includes farmers, greatest
wheat speculation ever known is inevi-
table, resulting in unwarrantable injus-
tice to consumers and encouraging dan
gerous discomfort in industries. Flour
mills are practically idle and flour stocks
are rapidly disappearing everywhere.
No Limit ON Price.
Concerning the 81 price which the Sen
ate bill fixes as the limit to be paid the
farmer, Mr.. Rothwell said in a letter
which followed the telegram:
'The bill places no limit on the price
to be paid to the farmer, and he will get
every cent he can, regardless of equity
to the consumer, or the possibility of
serious social disturbance in industrial
centers because of unwarrantably high
bread cost.
'1t is vitality necessary that highly
profitable price be guaranteed the farmer
for every bushel of wheat he may grow
during the next two years, but when
that price is fixed, he should not be per-
mitted tohold back his wheat indefinitely
for such further and very much higher
price as his boarding may compel. This
is Just now what confronts the nation"
The best grades of flour are now selling
around S14 per barrel, an increase of 81
within a week, and the threatened raise
would be about SIPS more, according to
Boston jobbers.
After two months of politics and va
porting, Congress has brought this upon
the country. 1t becomes more apparent
every day that speculation controls not
only the prices of necessities but Con-
gress itself is under their domination.
Put a minimum price down where it
should be and put maximum price at
figure which will protect the government
and the consumer.

Busy Little Japan.

Japan covets control of the iron depos-
its of China because her production is
small compared with her necessities.
She has been obliged to import ore and
scrap iron from China, Sweden, England,
Germany and the United States to the
value of $50, 600, 900 annually. Her eff
forts to create closer trade relations and
establish steamship connection with South
American countries are no doubt due to a
desire to tap the large deposits of iron ore
which are known to exist along the west
coast of that continent and which can be
mined and laid down at tidewater more
cheaply than in the United States

comes Mr. Daniels, who declares that it
was practically all true. Against this
comes a letter from blue jacket on one
