believe am correct in stating that
Lord Northcliifc, who came unofiicially
from Eng gland to sec President Wilson,
was largely instrumental not only in
pcrsuading him to proceed to England
now, but also that Britain is ready, as
Lloyd George said in his prediction
speeches, to 20 long way in meeting
the wishes Of America in Europe. Mr.
Wilson is, of course, believed to repre-
sent America regardless of the Repub-
lean attitude.
The belief is growing here that the
striking article in yesterdays "Matin"
on the league Of nations really en-
bodies President Wilson's own plan for
bringing the organization into opera
ton. Opinion here is not opposed to
the league of nations as such, but the
average Frenchman has no sympathy
Tor proposal favoring the inclusion of
Germany or the same terms as the
other powers. The idea is receiving.
better welcome here now that q prac-
ticablc method has been Shown Of
bringing Germany under the control of
the league, but refusing to permit her
participation on equal terms until she
has made good, possibly by reimburse
mcnts extending over many years, tho
losses she has caused to the Allied
powers.
The position Of Russia at the peacc
conference is exciting close attention
to her, and it is understood that the
presence of large number of leading
Russians in Paris is mainly due to
their desire that their country be rep
resented. Americans take the view that
they are not yet prepared to discuss
RUSSIAN representation. 50 far as
can learn, American commissioners
nave no knowledge Of any negotiations
having occurred on the subject, and at
present have no plan for dealing with
Russia.

BANK EARRINGS
PASS 1917 MARK
IN NINE: MONTHS
Rapid Increase Cannot Be
Equa|ed by Any Other City
in United States; Near
Record Month.

Onaha's bank clearings are leap
ing forward at all astounding rate
For the month OF September, 1918,
they were $255,950,790. During the
same month OF 1917. they were
$l49.97o,259, an increase OF more
than % per cent
The clearings for September, this
year, are the largest they have been
i'll any month excepting i'll March
OF this year, when they were
$29j, $4,000 That month, however,
had two more business days than
September.
The total clearings for the first
nine months OF this year are far
greater than the clearlngs for the
entire II months last year.
The Omaha bank clearings for
the first nine months of the two
years, respectively, we're:
1917 ................$l. 285 ,3+4 ,305
1918 ,................ 2,l04,807,602
1t is only two years ago when
the bank clearings went over the
$l,000,000,000 mark. Indications are
now that. for this year, they will be
very close to $3,0O0,0O0,O00, an in
crease, it is said, which cannot be
equalled by any other city in the

Wilson to Be Urged
To Fix Wheat Price
At $3.50 q Bushel

Washington, Oct. l.-Senators
and representatives from wheat
growing states and officials of the
National Wheat Growers associa-
ton, in conference here tonight.
decided to appoint a special COM
mittee to urge upon President Will
son immediate action fixing the
price of wheat for 1919 at $3.50 a
bushel.
The president will be told that
this price is necessary for the pro-
lection of most wheat growers
over the country, who under the
present price of $3.50 a bushel
plus the freight differential, will
not be able to raise wheat at a
profit. :
DR.. William J. Spillman. chief
of the Office of farm management
OF the Department of Agriculture,
presented to the conference to-
night figures compiled by his Of
nee designed to show that a price
of $3.50 a bushel is essential if
the maximum production is to at
tanned next year.
Speakers insisted that the presi-
dent has been misinformed as to
the increase in the cost of flour
that would result from $3.50
wheat. They said the added cost
on a barrel Of -four would be 90
cents instead of the So estimated.

New York, Oct. 1.-Major league

ei ld OF the national game.
This, at least, is the intention OF
the magnates at the present time
and nothing short Of most sensa-
Hional change in the war status with
IN the next two months will cause
any shift in the plans of the league.
1t requires long period OF prep
aration and much detail work, prior
TO the opening OF each pennant race,
and it is recognized that i'll the pres
ent unsettled state OF base ball al
fairs it would be impossible to renew
the operation OF the circuit without
ample time in which to formulate
arrangements. A declaration Of
peace coming late next spring
would prove of little value to the
big league clubs, according to the
opinion Of prominent magnates.
1t has been pointed out that the
players OF the various teams would
be scattered to the four points OF
the compass; that some OF the base
ball parks will have been adapted
10 other forms Of business; that
problems would arise during the re-
adjustment period which have never
confronted base bail arrangements
and that the best policy will be to
make haste slowly General opin-
ion appears to support the idea that
q new and better order of PROBES
sional base ball will come forth at
the proper time. but that much of
this advantage would be lost if the
+. big leagues rushed blindly back to
the game at the first hint of an
opening.
1t is understood, however, that
the magnates will not tie their
hands by any definite statements or
arrangements but will leave the al
fairs of the organization in such
fluid state that business can be re-
sumed at the proper moment with
as slight jar as possible. The Of
flee OF the league will be continued
and Secretary Heydler will, in all
probability, be reelected to his
present position with full authority
: IL act for the league in all matters
which have heretofore been in the
hands Of the president as we'll as
the other elective officers of the
league.
