The statistics cover the last six

able for improving agriculture there
is ground for optimism as to the abil-
ity OF the nation not only to supply
itself with food, but increasingly to

The output of meat and dairy prod

pounds to lie in 1908. with no figures
given for 1915.
Potatoes remained at about the
same ratio of production, but sweet
potatoes increased about so per cent

Officials generally view the future
with increasing soberness President
Wilson's original statement in his note
that neutrality was becoming intoler-
able and Secretary Lansing's state
ment that the United States was be-
ing drawn to the verge of war were
recalled in view of the probability that
hostilities are likely to continue.
1t is said the president will not
be hurried into decision on the at
titude of the American government
Secretary Lansing refused to dis
this government. on the ground that
he had not yet read the note with
great care.
1t is stated officially, however, that
whether the entente reply will be
forwarded to the central powers and

Situation Becomes Clearer.
Briefly officials feel that the allies
have stated terms while refusing a
conference. whereas the Germans
have suggested a conference without
stating their terms. Nevertheless ii
is felt that the international situation
has been decidedly clarified.
In all quarters it is agreed that
while the entente had made a CON-
plete reply to the presidents request
for a statement of terms the note
seems to offer no hope for an early
end of the war, hut. fortunately. still
does not close the door on further ef-
fort on the presidents part
Ambassador Bernstorff's reiterated
assurance that Germany will not vio-
late her submarine pledges to this
country is held not Incompatible with
activities that could not be tolerated
by this country. but might be con-
Quoted on the basis that there is such
a divergence of view as to the inter
national law involved
Several courses of action lie before
the president Among them is anoth-
er move to ask Germany to state spe-
cific terms, as the allies have done.
Diplomats say that with replies
from both sets of belligerents in hand
IT would be legitimate to communicate
the answer of one set to the other.
The German diplomats here were
outscpoken in their denunciation of
the allied note and their declarations
that such terms never would be ac-
cepted.
Admittedly the note was more Sc
we're than even they had been led to
expect and they declared the German
ic allies were prepared to fight on.
