WHEAT SURPLUS WILL BE
SMALL SAYS U.S.. CROP AGENT
Strictest Conservation Must be Prac-
ticed If We Are to Send
Allies Grain

Only thru the most strict conserva-
ton of food will this country be able
to send any considerable amount of
grain to her European allies this fall,
is the belief of Edwin T. Marchetti,
who was in Kennewick last week. Mr..
Marchetti is field agent in charge of
the bureau of crop estimates working
under the department of agriculture.
He says:
Figures now indicate that the
available wheat surplus for export
this year will be less than within the
last three years, and the demand will
be greater. Consideration must also
be given to the fact that a consider
able portion of the wheat crop is still
subject to damage between now and
the time Of maturity.
"The estimated production of wheat
in the United States on July was
678, 100000 bushels, in comparison
with 6a98S6,O00 in 1916, 1,O25, S91 900
bushels in 1915 and 801, III, 900 in 1914.

their names to the honor roll by en-
listing as recruits in the army OF
the nation. The first six above
named left Saturday afternoon for
further examination, while the last
named volunteer left Sunday morn
ing. A crowd of friends were present
to see the boys off Saturday and
they left with the conviction that
their action was appreciated by those
who remained behind.
Several detachments of volun-
teers have left from Morgan City
and vicinity for army and navy ser
vice. Perhaps fifty white boys and
twenty colored have enlisted. BY
their volunteering they enter the ser
vice under more favorable condi-
tions than those who await conscrip-
ton. It is expected that many more
will volunteer for service. and that
many will wait until they are draft
ed, but all in all Uncle Sam will

SUPREME COURT DECIDES
AGAINST BANKS IN DAMAGE
SUIT AGAINST LINER CEClLlE
(Bv Associated Press)


Washington, D. c., May THE
Supreme Court has decided against
the New York Banks in their suit
against the North German Lloyd's
Liner Rronprinzessin Cecilie, at
Boston, in which the banks claimed
s2,24O, 900 damages for the failure
of the liner to deliver gold bullion
worth 100000 to England and
France on the outbreak of the war.
Washington, May 7.-Claims OF

York against the North Ger
men Lloyd liner Kronprinzessin
Cecilie, for $2,24o,oOo damages for
failing to carry gold bullion to Eu'
rope when the war began, presented
to the Supreme Court severa! new
and intricate questions growing oa'
OF the hostilities.
Because the Cecilie, known as thu
"gold ship, sailed with $11,000,O0(
in gold for England, when war ap'
peared imminent, was warned in
id-Atlantic by wireless and raced
back to Bar Harbor, Me-, the banks
claimed damages for losses resulting
from non-delivery of the gold.

Supreme Court Decides Famous Cece Case In Favor Of
North Cerman-lloyd Line

Many claims of great magnitude
against other German vessels SINH
larly situated hinged upon the Su-
preme Courts decision. Twenty
three ships Of the North German
LLOYD, Hamburg-American and
Hansa lines either returned to Amer
ican ports or refused to sail with
cargoes when war was apparent.
The Cecilie, pending the decision
in the present case, has been in Gus
tody of the Boston federal court.
When diplomatic relations with Ger
many were severed, her German
crew was taken off and later intern
ed in Georgia detention camsp. It
was discovered that before they left
the vessel her machinery was dam
aged to the extent of $4,000 un-
der instructions from a member OF
the German government ofhclai
staff"
In the lower courts, opinion re-
garding the Cecilie's liability to the
New York banks, was divided. Feder-
al District Judge Hale of Maine DIS
missed their apprehension OF danger
and justifying his return to Ameri-
ca. Upon appeal. the federal circuit
by a divided bench, reversed Judge
Hale's ruling and sustained the
banks claim. Judge Dodge ana
Bingham held the vessel liable while
Judge Putnam dissented.
The Cecilie was ordered, by wire
less, by the North German Lloyd
directors in Germany to return to
America. Judge Dodge and Bingham
held that, therefore, Captain Polack
exercised no discretion and that the
shippers of freight were entitled to
damages for failure to have their
carpoes delivered at London. The
bills of lading stipulated against la
bility occasionel by arrest and re-
straint of princes, rulers or people"
The Guaranty Turst Company
claimed 81, ,793, 100000 damages and
the National City Bank $446,OOO.
Their gold was consigned to Ply
mouth and Cherbourg respectively.
The Cecilie sailed from New York
July %, 1914, and when 1,O7O miles
from Plymouth, on July 81, received
the wireless warning. She rushed
back to America, arriving safely at
Bar Harbor and later conveyed to
Boston. The vessel was built in 1907
at a cost of $4,5OO,000 and was
among the German and Austrian
craft subject to federal seizure when
the United States declared war. Fed
eral possession, however, has beer
suspended subject to the claims Of
the New York banks.
