Wilson Orders
Embargo on Gold
Exports From u. S
Ban on Shipments to Spain,
Mexico and Orient Ef-
fective Monday

WASHINGTON. Sept. President
Wilson tonight placed an embargo, eff
fective Sept. 10, on the expectation OF
coin, bullion and currency. At the
same time he authorized the Secretary
Of the Treasury to license such ex-
portations which, in the opinion Of the
Federal Reserve Board. will not be
harmful to public interest.
The embargo, applying to all nations
will place absolute control over gold
exports in the hands of Secretary Nc
Adoo and the Federal Reserve Board.
Officials believe the measure will go
far toward conserving the huge store
Of gold accumulated in this country
since the beginning of the war. store
which recently has been drawn upon
rather heavily by Japan, Mexico and
Spain.
Strict adhesion to the embargo is re-
carded as unlikely and undesirable
Curtailment, however, of the free
movement of gold to the Orient appears
probable. For some time Treasury ano
Reserve Board officials have viewed
with concern the tendency of gold TO
flow away from the United States. Re
Gently the Federal Reserve Board re-
uuested the bankers of the country to

growing exports.

providing that applications for the ex-

Bumper Grain Crop
Beats 1916 Record
By Billion Bushels
Unprecedented Corn Harvest
Will Go Far to Supplement
Short Wheat Yield

WASHINGTON, Sept. American
farmers have responded to the needs
of war with an aggregate yield of the
principal grains exceeding by more
than q billion bushels the production
of 1916. The promise for corn, as in
dicated by the September forecast of
the Department of Agriculture, sur
passes all records, and will go far to
make up for the short wheat crop.
Even wheat, however, will be har-
vested in greater quantity than could
have been expected at the beginning Of
the season, when the vicissitudes en-
countered by the winter plant threat
ened a disastrous failure.
The improvement in the spring-sown
variety continued through August, ia
vorinc weather conditions bringing the
prospect for 1917 up to a round 2jO,-
100000 bushels. The winter crop, al
ready harvested, is estimated at 49,
600 900 bushels, so that the production
of all wheat will reach 66S,0OO,OOO
bushels. This is 28,1l4,000 bushels
more than was garnered last year.
While the striking feature of the re-
port is the predicted corn harvest,
amounting to 3,24S, 100000 bushels
1850 pounds of food per capita avail
able to be eaten in one form or an
other-there was general improvement
in prospects for the principal food
crops. Every one of the important
cereals will be more plentiful this year
than last, while the production Of po-
tatoes stands far above all records.
The increase for the year amounts to
nearly 2O0,O00,000 bushels in the com
bined output OF white and sweet po-
tatoes.
Indicated yields of the various crops,
based on September l conditions, are
compared with the 1916 harvests in
the following table. The figures are in
bushels except where otherwise noted.

Dissatisfaction with the Ribot Min
istry has been rife for some weeks.
The Premier has been attacked both
By the Left and Right, and apparently
is supported to-day by no big party.
The Socialists have been opposed to
Ribot since he took the initiative in
refusing to issue passports to the
French delegates to the Stockholm
conference. The French Socialists,
with their leader in the Cabinet, AL
bert Thomas, decided to participate in
the Scandinavian meeting to guard the
Russians from being influenced by the
German delegates. Ribot's action was
considered by them, therefore, a grave
error, likely 10 lead to disastrous con-
sequences.
The Socialist opposition showed its
bitterness when the Premier was called
upon 10 refuto the charges made by the
German Chancellor that. France had
concluded last February q treaty with
the Gar providing for the annexation
Of the German Rheinland. The ex-
plantations Of RibOt did not satisfy the
Socialists and they left the Chamber
in no friendly mood.
Ribot, however, remained strong with
the other parties. But he received
sudden blow last month through the
sensational Almereyda case. Alme-
rcyda, sn anarchistie editor, was sus-
pccted of being in the pay Of the Ger
man government. He was arrested and
found strangled in his cell This leo
to startling revelations as to his ca
reer, which showed that VI. Maivy, Min
lister of Public Instruction, was friend
Of Almereyda. Minister Malvy was
forced to resign, and it was reported at
the time that the whole Cabinet would
follow. The Almereyda Mslvy affair
undermined the confidence OF the con
servative parties in the Ribot Ministry.
