Certain fast Atlantic liners are run

launched their ruthless U-boat wa
against the worlds shipping.
There are boats, some of the largest

gan, according to Winfield NJ. Thomp'
son. field agent of the u. 5. shipping
board recruiting service, who is now on
an official visit to this state.
The effect of this condition of things,
according to Mr.. Thompson, has been
noticeable in a marked degree in his de-
partment, which is supplying officers and
men for the great feet of new merchant
ships now being created.
"Fear of U-bosts does not exist among
American merchant sailors" says Mr..
Thompson. Morally, therefore, the sub
marine campaign is barren of results, so
far as America is concerned. Young men
are coming forward as they never have
before, to serve in the merchant marine !"

WHEAT AND MEAT INQUIRY.
Senate Agricultural Committee Is Told
Farmers are Menaced.

Washington, Feb. characterization OF
the nations food situation with particu.
lar reference to wheat and meat was
begun yesterday by the Senate agri-
cultural committee. A. Sykes of Ida
Grove, Ia, president of the Corn Belt
Producers association, told the commit
tee stock feeders are contending with
a host of menacing war time difficulties.
chiefly inability TO get cars to ship their
stock to market. Only patriotism, he
declared, could keep farmers in bust
ness under conditions so discouraging.
"These men won't be burnt again, .
he said. They won't pour their earn
ings into hole"
Fear that the food administration
would establish beef so low as to ieop-
ardize their interests induced many cat
tlemen to slaughter immature stock,
Sykes said This inevitably will cause
advances to the consumer.
Dwight B. Hurd of Phoenix. Ariz for
merly president of the American Live
stock association, told the committee
that Sykes picture of serious meat
shortage was not overdrawn and that
unless remedial action was taken a do
nestle shortage equivalent to "a ma
tional disaster" was probable.
As solution TO present defects in the
production and distribution system, Hurd
recommended that the food administra-
tion and department of agriculture form
a joint committee to analyze conditions
and make recommendations for govern
ment cooperation with the industry.

! mons over the conduct of the war, the
House is not prepared for a govern
mental change
when Richard Hollis radical amendment
to the reply to the throne was rejected
by majority of 1871.
Holt expressed regret that military
effort was to be the governments only
immediate task and his resolution was
supported mainly by paciists.
Discomfort with the situation was
voiced during Wednesday by some mem
bers of the House, Herbert Samuel

the war cabinet was weary and should
be helped by special councils dealing
with both military and home affairs.
Premier Lloyd George was at times
hard pressed and was aided by Andrew
Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer,
and Arthur j. Balfour, foreign secretary,
the former presenting statistics designed
to disprove charges that the government
had not kept promises regarding ship
building, food and other matters.
Mr. Balfour strongly supported the
premier's view that the speeches of Chan
celor Won Hertling and Count Czernin
indicated no change in the aggressive
military policy of Germany His speech
seemed to have much effect for many
members left the chamber after ii and,
though debate continued the vote that
gave the government support was taken

CROP IN SIGHT
The Conditions in France as
Reported Are Ex-
cellent
100000 ACRES
MORE TO BE RAISED
Restrictive Measures APP
piled to Save Foods-Con-
ditions Best for Years

Paris, Feb. l5.-The condition OF win.
ter wheat in the departments of France
which give the largest yields is reported
by an expert who has Just finished a
tour of inspection to justify fully the
most optimistic hopes for the 1918 crop.
Nowhere did the frost do any damage,
and the prospects are good for a greater
crop per acre than in any year since
1914.
Preparations for spring seeding are well
under way and it is probable the acreage
will exceed that of last spring by nearly
one million. There is an equal increase
in the acreage of winter wheat over 1917.
