WARNS AGAINST
FALSE ECONOMY
tFrom Chicago Herald.)

A warning that false economy in the
present national crisis will result in
stagnation and defeat the aims Of the
government was sounded yesterday by
John g. shedd.l president Of Marshall
Field & Co., in an address Al the
opening session Of the spring meeting
Of the National Retail Dry Goods as
ISOLATION in the Blackstone hotel. The
sessions will continue throughout to-
day.
The purpose Of the meeting. rs stat
ed on the programs. 10 Ito discuss
service problems of the store"
.
Mr.. shedd gave the address Of well
come. He said:
The message Of the President Of
the United States on economy and
waste has been misinterpreted in such
a manner that its effect threatens an
impairment of business.
(. Tho elimination Of waste is always
an admirable thing to emphasize, but
to have the word economy misunder-
stood by the public mean stagnA-
ton and defeat of the very aims for
which h government is striving.
The dry goods merchant. individu-
ally or as a member Of this ~associa-
tion. can point out the danger of such
misunderstanding.
From my point Of view I see a
general condition Of expansion and
optimism unless congress should en-
act such tariff and tax legislation that
will throttle business. This subject is
one Of such serious moment that I
cannot refrain from suggesting that
your association appoint a committee
to go to Washington this week and
present your view tt the admins
tration and congress.
The large government loan, with
which we shall be glad to cooperate,
cannot help but give q strong impetus
to business. The expenditure Of this
vast sum alone will keep labor busily
employed, and the demand for our
foodstufs throughout the world IAN
not help but create a condition which
will expand merchandising"
Departmental Sales and Salaries
was h topic Of discussion at the
mornings session. Other problems to
be discussed during the meeting to
be discussed during the meeting are
help employment. parcel delivery, re-
serve stockrooms and Standardization

CROPS GROWING
AND PLANTING
IS INCREASING
Favorable Weather Helps in
Most Sections, Says Gov
eminent Report.

Washington. May IGNORE sea-
sonable weather conditions during the
week just ended caused crops to make
excellent progress in the Western
half of the country but in eastern dis
trtcts extreme cold "a decidedly I'M
favorable.
The national weather and crop
bulletin today said cotton and corn
and some garden truck were not only
retarded but considerably damaged
by the continued cold weather. This
week was more favorable for farm
work however. and good progress was
made in all sections. There are
many reports Of increased acreage Of
food crops. although the necessity Of
re-planting and the lack Of labor will
reduce the intended increase some-
what.
Winter wheat generally is making
good growth except in Oklahoma.
Corn is being planted on much of the
abandoned winter wheat e in
Nebraska. Spring wheat is making
excellent growth in the southern and
central states of the belt and on the
Pacific coast. Cool weather in CEN
trail n eastern districts was unfav-
orable for corn and in places much
will be needed to he replanted.
In the southern states cotton was
u~nfavorably affected and corr made
slow growth.
There are many reports of increas-
ed acreage for DOtafoes.

AS is shown by this map. the Brit
ish in advancing into Palestine are
following the coast Of the Mediter-
ranean and are also building q rail-
road behind them. This not only
gives them the shortest route by
which to advance from Egypt toward
Jerusalem but enables them to take
advantage Of their control Of the sea
to keep in touch with the advance
and bring up supplies.
The map, moreover. clearly shows
that previous reports that British
forces had reached Hebron, just
south of Jerusalem, were mistaken.
They r not yet more than twenty
miles beyond the Egyptian border,
and T at least fifty miles from
Jerusalem. The slowness Of their
advance is attributed to the fact that

WINS FIGHT WITH DEATH
BY HIS DARING GOODNESS
Chances Apparently a Million TO One
Against Sergeant Campbell in

Meant Death, but He Descends
Into Beet Field Without Injury TO
Himself

FRENCH FRONT IN FRANCE, July
S.-sergeant Andrew Campbell won In
fight with death. with the chances
million TO ono against hime, while
Tying with the Lafayette Squadrilla
yesterday afternoon The lower left
wing Of his airplane broke of when
he was soaring a mile high. Only his
complete presence Of mind and coolness
saved him.
Campbell threw all the controls on
the other side. and volplaned some
distance. in order to detach the float
ing remnants of the broken wing,
which were beating against the body
OF the machine. and threatening to
dislocate everything. Then, when he
had succeeded in this maneuver. he
descended slowly on the remaining
wing into beet field without injury to
himself. The slightest turn In the air
would have meant death.
This accident was preceded by the
ceremony Of the presentation of an
American flag to the squadrilla by an
employee OF the Treasury Department
at Washington. French and American
avtators from several squadrillas were
paraded on the dying grounds for the
ceremony. which was a One spectacle
