AMERICANS MUST SAVE IN WHEAT F
 ALLIES ARE AIDED

Washington, October 13.--Of this years wheat crop only T.s9H0O0 bushels, or about Ills per cent, will be left for sx- port to the allies and neutrals after the requirements of the United States call of the food administration and cur tail their consumption.
 Experts of the bureau of crop csti- mates in calculating this years theor- etical wheat surplus have placed the consumption at 10 per cent less than the normal of 5.3 bushels, as this years con ditions resemble those of 1916 when the apparent per capita consumption was about 4.75 bushels For the estimated population of the country-1oS, ,635,0oo peo- ple-the requirement. on that basis is 494, ,OoO bushels. Seed requirements they estimate at s7,271. 900 bushels.
 This years wheat crop. from the pre- liminary estimates, is 659, 900 bushels, and the total requirements of the United States are placed at 5s2 101.OOo bushels, leaving 77.6ss,O0O bushels surplus.
 Food administration officials figure the allied countries will have a defici- ency of more than 4O0,0O00Oo bushels of wheat, basing their estimate on normal requirements. They are isolated from those markets other than Canada and the United States on which they were acc,s- toned to rely before the war. The Rus sian supply cannot be got out and the Bulgarian and the Rumanian supplies are in the hands of the Teutons. All though Great Britain, France and Italy are vigorously administering and econ- omizing their food, the situation in wheat, according to the food administration, is one of great difficulty and concern. Canada, figures available here show, will have possible surplus of l2oOOoooo oush- els of wheat and that added to the sur Jus of the United States will make less than 100000 bushels.

BIG WATERFRONT FIRE IN BROOKLYN LOOKS SUSPICIOUS Grain Elevator Thought to Have Been Burned by Explosion of Bomb
 Planted

New York, october J3.--Rcports of disastrous waterfront fire which de- stroyed m elevator and nearly 7o0,OO0 bushels of grnin in HrookIyn today were revived tonight when Fire Chief K enIon issued statement saying the causc of the blaze would be rigidIy investigated. The property loss was estimated at more than $1 100000.
 There have been 5s waterfront fires in New York city lately, and it is impossi- Chief Kenlon said.
 The grain consumed today was inte ld- ed for export. according to officials Of the New York Dock company, owners of the elevator.
 Superintendent Tommlins, in charge of the elevator, declared the fire was caused by an explosion inside the structure. He said the nature of this explosion war ranted the SUI uSpiciols oi bomb "planted'' being responsible T.s theory was secuted by Fire Marshal Brophy, who, after a preliminary investigation. said he believed an explosion of grain dust had occurred. Each said the cause he assigned would account for the blowing out of portion Of wall where the fire originated.
 When the difficulty of combating the flames became apparent, every fireboat in the city and every other available piece of apparatus was called into serv- ice Chief Kenlon said the fire was the most difficult he had fought since that which destroyed the Equitable Life build ling in this city January 9, 1912. Two of the towers are regarded as :o- itally lost, and firemen were making efforts tonight to prevent the flames from entering the third. The fire was one of the most spectacular in the history of 1 the New York waterfront.

EASTERN RAILROADS ARE AGAIN SEEKING INCREASE IN RATES
Conference With I. c. Con- mission Is Asked and Granted for Wednes-
 day Afternoon

Washington. October 13.--Eastern railroads, seeking reIies from eondi- tions witch thrsr executives assert are they can no longer operate with profit. indicated today the form their efforts will assume in letter to the inter state commerce commission asking for n conference to consider rntes not in- cIudcd in the advance allowed by the decision in the 15 per cent rate advance cnsc last June.
 Indications are that the railroads have in mind filing applications for increased rates on a large number of comnodi- ties not already raised if it should de- velop at the conference that the appli- cations might meet with any measure of success.
 The commission. replying to the request for "a short informal conference noti- fled the roads that it would be glad to hear them at "a public session next Wednesday afternoon.
 The commissions decision to hold a public session will give the shippers and all others interested opportunity to be PA SSCiit anu Stett6 tucit NlcWS.
 In denying the railroads petition for a general 15 per cent raise in rates, the commission, in its decision last June, dis missed the proceedings without prejudice to their renewal at any time tho ne- cessity for such advance, or for any ad- vance in rates could be shown. At the same time the commission granted east ern roads, hardest hit of all by the car shortage and congestion of last winter, advances in class rates which the rail- roads estimate approximately at pei cent,
 It is thought hardly likely that these rates would be increased again, although the reference by the railroad executives to possibly other matters germain to securing all the results originally asked for, is regarded as sufficiently general to include such an increase
