1913 Officers Are
With General Pershing;
Will Complete Plans

Washington June s. - Major Cen
eral Pershing. whose safe arrival in
England is recorded in the foregoing
dispatch has with him 1913 officers,
enlisted men and other attaches
The party sailed more than week
ago without any publicity being
given to their departure despite the
fact that it was known to some Am
erican correspondents. Here again,
as was the case with the French and
British missions, the newspapers 10y
ally co-operated with the govern
ment in voluntary censorship to
safeguard the passage of the Ameri-
can officers.
In the official quarters the depart
ure was so we'll surrounded with Sc
crecy that within the last few days
many government officials had been
asking when General Pershing would
sail.
The party made the trip on sched-
ule time. 1t was learned to-day that
the government had advices yester-
day that the vessel on which they
crossed was on time, relieving any
anxiety that might have been felt.
Reports from Paris yesterday said
sites for camps of American troops
had been selected. Presumably Gen
eral Pershing will inspect these and
make complete arrangements for the
reception of his troops. No infor-
nation as to the composition of the
American force or when it may be
expected to reach France has been
given out beyond the original state
ment that division of regular
troops supplemented by a regiment
of marines would be sent at the
earliest practicable date.

WHEAT CROP
is FAR ABOVE
LAST SEASONS
656,000,000 Bushels Is Fore
cast; 100000 More Than
Last Year
By associated Press

Washington, June S.-The prospec-
tive wheat crop of the United States
this year was forecast to-day by the
Department of Agriculture at 656, ,000,-
600 bushels, combining a revised esti-
mate of the badly damaged winter
wheat crop and the first estimate of
the new spring wheat crop. based on
June l conditions. That compares
with $4,000. 900 bushels harvested last
year and S06.OO0.O0 bushels, the aver
age crop for 1911-15.
Mny Weather Helped
Improved weather conditions during
May increased prospects of winter
wheat and indicated a crop of S73, ,000,-
600 bushels. The crop began this
spring under adverse conditions, H.
$4,000 acres having to be abandoned
because of the severe winter and other
causes. April l conditions indicated a
production of 1900 900 bushels. but
during that month growing conditions
were so poor that the May 1 forecast
was reduced 60 1885, 900 bushels.
The increased spring wheat arear,
placed at 19.0S9.000 acres, and the
good start of this crop under excel
lent growing conditions, indicate a
production of 2S3.000,000 bushels,
compared with 15S.t42. 900 bushels>last
year, S51. 1854. 900 bushels in 1916 and

operation; Penna. the
Leading State

The War Department at Washing
ton, realizing the vital Importance
of the daily papers as an aid to re-
Cruiting, has addressed n circular
letter to every recruiting officer in
the United States, asking them to
do everything possible to secure the
cooperation of the papers in their
respective districts.
The officers are reminded that sew
eral of. the districts have fallen short
of the required quota and unless the
daily papers do their share as an aid
to recruiting the department feels
the fun quota required can not be
reached in time to give the men the
necessary training before the winter
season begins.
The department further requests
that papers publish daily roll of
honor giving the names of all men
who have answered the country's call
to arms. The Harrisburg papers
have done this daily since the begin
ming of the present crisis and as a
result PENNSYLVANIA leads the nation
with a total of 1896 enlistments
since April 1. The Harrisburg dis
trict leads the state.
The letter further requests all pos
sible publicity be given to the order
that allows men to enlist before the
is also urged that the public be con-
stantly reminded all men who enlist
will be credited to their home county
and that number deducted from the
county's quota when the draft is
made.

June 80 is the day set when every
recruiting officer is expected to have
his full quota of accepted men sent

their quota will be asked to make
