GREAT LESSONS IN
FIRST CASUALTY
LISTS FROM FRANCE

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 17.--Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, now a newspaper
man, sees two great lessons in the
publishing Of the first American
casualty list, as reported in United
Press dispatches Sept. s. in his first
story published in the Kansas City
Star today, commenting on the death
OF Lieutenant William T. Fitzsimmons,
of Kansas City, whose name headed
the list, ne says:
1.-The first lesson is the horror of
Germany's calculated brutality. AS a
part of her deliberate policy of fright
fulness, she has carried on a system
attic campaign of murder against hos
pitfalls and hospital ships. The first
American in our army to die was
killed in one of these typical raids. We
should feel stern indignation against
Germany for the brutality of which
this was merely one among innumer-
able instances.
CONTEMPT FOR APOLoGISTS.
But we should feel even sterner in
dignation toward-and fathomless con-
tempt for--the base or unthinkins
abet the authors of such foul wicked
ness and these include all men and
women who in any way apologize for
or uphold Germany, who assail any of
our allies who oppose our taking
active part in the war, or who desire
an inconclusiVe peace.
The second lesson is our unpre-
paredness. We are In the eighth
month since Germany went to war
against us; and we are still only at
the receiving end of the game. We
have not in France a single man on
the fighting line. The first American
killed was a doctor. No German sol
der is yet in jeopardy from anything
we have done.
| The military work we are now doing
Is work of preparation. 1t should
have been done just three years ago

time

republic. as issued by Premier ker-
ensky, destroyed a growing propa-
ganda traceable to German agents that
Kerensky was planning dictatorship.
1t was also a warning, in the public's
view today, to any other leader who
might aspire as Korniloff did, to such
dictatorial powers, that the government
was solely a peoples government.
The constitutional convention which
is to devise the machinery of Russian
government, has already been called
for Dec. H. There We're Indications
today, however, that long before this
time, some sort of representative
Russian assembly would outline and
delegate powers to prevent any repeti-
ton of the misunderstanding which
led to the Korniloff revolt.
SUPPORT FOR CABINET.
The Petrograd Council Of Workme
and Soldiers formally recommended
such a representative assembly to be
convened Sept 70 to set up definite
power to lead the country until the
constitutional convention shall decide
upon a complete system of govern
ment.
In the meantime. Kerensky's re-or-
ganized cabinet appears likely to have
more complete support from various
fractions, than the previous ministries
have been able to muster.
Evidence of the loyalty of the Rus
sian armies is now overwhelming Pre-
liminary reports from the commission
investigation Korniloffs revolt in
dictate the rebellious troops were de-
ceived into belief they were marching
against German plotters. Scores OF
officers are already in custody. General

head of a rebel movement, but his
forces were not so large and his own
troops-the Don Cossacks--insist they

RECORD CROPS IF AL GRAINS
 EXCEPT WHEAT ARE FORECAST

Dakota's crop suffered most, with a loss in prospective production of about 15,O0O,000 bushels while South Dakota lost about 3,000,OOO bushels and Wash ington 100000.
 Winter wheat, however, is turning out better than previously forecasted with forecast total of 1000, 900 bushels or 15OO0, 900 bushels more than indicated from July conditions.
 The combined yield of winter and spring wheat, therefore shows a re- duction of 25,OO0,O0O bushels from the production forecast in July. The crop conditions forecast from August 1 will be only 653,00O,000 bushels or 13,O0O, 900 bushels more than harvested last year.
 White potatoes are expected to yield 467, ,000,000 bushels or 15,000,O00 bushels more than forecast from July condi- tions and 47,000,000 bushels more thar the record of 1912 Sweet potatoes also will be record. with 6,40O, 00t bushels.
 There will be an enormous crop oi tobacco. almost 120,000,000 pounds , larger than the record production oI ! last year. The buckwheat crop vii be the largest in many years and oats
 will come close to equalling the record made in 1915.
