AMERICAN 7ELLSSTORY

The only American wounded in the

lean who saw the events marking the

Washington, is Jasper J. Mayer, who
stopped over here today to visit friends
on his way to his home in lawrence.

day an illuminating story Of the blood
less revolution" unparalleled in his-
tory in its unusual circumstances and
as yet unfathomable In its possible
future consequences.
Two factors figured in the conduct Of
the unusual revolution, accomplished
with little violence, and confined to q
single city of the vast Russian domain,
which are not generally understood in
this country. Mr.. Mayer believes. One
is the fact that the Russian people all
ready were ready for a change In the
form of government, which they hoped,
however, to accomplish by political
means. The second is the easy going,
good-natured temperament Of the Rus
sian peasant. who. despite the entire
absence Of government in Petrograd
for a period Of two days, went about
his business in accustomed fashion and
did not take advantage Of lack Of re.

age sown in the history of the coun-
try, showed on December l the lowest
condition on record. A forecast of a
crop Of only 54O,O0O,0OO bushels was
made today by the department of agri-
culture The final production, how
ever, will be above or below that
quantity, according as conditions
hereafter are better or worse than the
average.
Winter wheat sown this fall for next
years harvest aggregated 42,17O,OOO
acres, and its condition on December
/, was 1913 per cent OF normal.
The acreage is per cent more than
the revised estimated area sown in
the fall of 1916.
The area sown to rye is 6,119,OOO
acres, which is 36.6 per cent more
than sown a year ago, and the con-
dition of the crop on December 1st
was 84.1 per cent of normal.
Increased Sowing.
Increased sowing of winter wheat
and rye throughout the country were
urged upon the farmers by the depart
ment of agriculture in order to supply
the needs of the co-belligerents of the
United States in the war. This years
short crop of wheat has necessitated
adoption of methods to conserve the
supply by having consumers in the
United States cut down use of that
cereal. The wheatless days and the
use of corn meal as a substitute are
measures food administration Off
icals are urging in order to increase
the quantity of wheat that may be
sent abroad.
While the las years showings OF
winter wheat were on the second lar
gest area ever planted to that cereal.
winter conditions caused an abandon
ment of more than thirty-one per cent
of the acreage. Last fall, forty MIL
lion five hundred and thirty-four thou-
sand acres were planted to winter
wheat, revised figures show that the
, area harvested was only twenty-seven
million six hundred and flfty-three
thousand acres, reduction OF twelve
million, eight hundred and eighty-one
thousand acres, from the area planted.
Harvest on Record.
Last years abandoned acreage was
tho heaviest on record. The average
abandonment of acreage due to WIN
ter conditions is about ten per cent,
the lowest abandonment in the last 10
wears being two and eight-tenths per
cent in 1913, and the highest except
| ing last year, was twenty and one
tenth per cent in 1912.
Conditions for planting and the
early growth of this years crop have
not been the best. Dry weather de-
layed examinations of late sown Seed

HOSTILE AIRPLANESI IN ATTACK

ammunition into a raider as it was
dropping bombs on London, from a
height of $4,000 feet

All of the British machines, which
went up to engage the raiders, have
returned safely.

raid says:
"Hostile airplanes crossed the Es.
