CROP REPORT SHOWS
 GENERAL INCREASE

WASHINGTON, Nov S.-A sum- mary of the report by the bureau of crop estimates says:
 "The almost ideal weather of October, in the main agricultural areas of the country, has resulted in an increase of the indicated corn crop by about thirty million bushels, with a quality of So.6, compared with 75.2 last year and S2.S average. The results in the southwest and the far west are not up to expec- tations. While the absolute number of bushels is only S1 per cent, that of last year the food value, because of the higher quality, is a muh larger propor- tion.s The absolute prodution is only a fraction of one per cent below the five-year average The stock of last years crop remaining on farms is more than three times the amount of old corn on hand year ago, and in excess of the usual
 "Buckwheat was damaged by early frost, lowering the good earlier pros poets of yield by about per cent, but leaving tlfis crop still per cent in ex- cess of last year. 20 per cent above the average.
 Potato yields now reported confirm the earlier estimates. The summer droughts resulted in small size and re- duced yields in the main producing areas. The crop now estimated is II per cent below the enormous crop and l is about 40 per cent above the five year average.
 'Tcbaccos, with large acreage, has a yield per acre materially above aver age and total production of 70.000, ,0OO | pounds above last year, which fur nished the largest previous crop of record.

''SPARK OF FREEDOM

Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-"We have come back to our country more thoroughly convinced that our people and our gov ernment stand out as a wonderful ob ject lesson to the peoples of the whole world" declared Samuel Gompers to- night in his report to the American people on the work of the labor mis- sion in Europe
 Speaking at huge mass meeting the president of the American Federation of labor reiterated that American la bor stands pledged to the last drop of blood, to defeat Prussian militarism, and amid applause declared that in Europe the spark of freedom had burst into flame that has sounded the death knell of kings and autocracy throughout the world.
 After referring to the declaration adopted by American labor at Wash ington. in March 1917. insisting on conditions of labor and freedom during any war" and pledging support to the government, MT. Gompers said;
 Attacks Pro German Press
 T merely wish to call your attention to the fact that at the London labor inter allied labor conference of Sep tember, the American mission pro- posed, and the conference adopted that declaration. not in the same words. but in the same sense, as adopted by Amer ican labor. more than a year and a half ago"
 Mir Gompers sharply criticized what he characterized as the pro- German and bolshevik press of the allied coun- tries, declaring that every effort of the mission was the target of these A-opagandists.
 Tn Italy, for instance, this press published US as frauds and not repre- sentatives of American labor. We re- piled that we represented four million working people and the avante. liter ally translated into English, the ad- vance, bolsheviki, said Well, MT | Gompers may represent four million workers, bat he represents more mil l lions of dollars To which I replied; If I represent dollars. no one has ye accused me of having received German dollars. .++.. ....-#.. -.tt

His majesty's gov ernment would refuse to recognize, either during or after the war. any such transfer to neutral flag or owner ship, made before the final conclusion of peace, except with special consent.
 The British government, the minis ter said, holds that the allies have a claim against the shipping of the cen tral powers, in view of their illegal submarine campaign. and they do not intend to allow their claim to be de- feated or prejudiced by any such trans fer.

 FOLLOWING PEACE
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Problems of international trade facing the United States after the war. including the need for a sound national maritime policy" which would insure continued operation, under the American flag, of ships built for war emergencies, were discussed here today at the annual meeting of the National Foreign Trade council.
 James A. Farrell, president of the United States steel corporation, pre- sided.
 With his fellow members of the com mittee on merchant marine, r. A. s. Franklin of New York and Robert Dollar of San Francisco, MT. Farrell presented a report which asserted that unless a national policy was adopted, it may be set down as absolutely cer- tain that the American merchant ma rine, rehabilitated with vast expendi- ture of capital and effort as. a war emergency measure, will again be dis sipated under the operation of inex- orable economic laws"
 Private Capital Unavailable
 Asserting that private enterprise would refuse to invest the full s4o00.. 900, 900 which it was estimated would nave Decu cAptHutu III ny the nation, by the end of the war the report continued:
 "Manifestly, the correct procedure is that indicated by the chairman of the shipping board, in his suggestion that the valuation of the vessels be written down, and that a portion of their cost be charged off to war serv- ice. This procedure would be emil nently just, as well as absolutely nec- essary to the permanent retention and operation of the vessels under our flag.
 The war service rendered by these vessels is of the highest character, not second to that of the guns and shells which they transport to the seat of war. But the shells are wholly written off; the entire cost is charged to the war service. Whatever valuation may be determined upon ultimately, as fair and just, these ships will represent a record of expenditure for the govern ment, impossible in the case of vast disbursements for munitions.

Nineteen Precincts Out

There was admitted confusion re- xsrdiug the vote in Apache. Beside the telegram fixing Golfers majority st 10S. another was received by Chair man Jaynes of the state committee stating that his majority was lSO, with three Campbell precincts unheard from.
 There are, besides the missing pre- cincts in Apache county, three in Co., conino county, seven in Mohaye, two m Pima two in Graham Out it is known that 54 votes were cast in them). and two in Yuma county. IL is assumed that the missing precincts ir Apache will add 10 the Golfer vote, while those in Coconino will increase inc lead of Campbell. ...,..
 One of them is F'redoniar on the other side of the river which. gave Campbell a majority of A over Hunt two years ago. The two Pima precincts will add to the Campbell vote, while t is allowed that the missing pre- cincts in Mohave, Graham and Yuma will be to the advantage of Golfer.
 The missing precincts in Mohave two years ago gave Campbell Al votes md Hunt s5. The Campbell people are assured that the majority of them will do no worse this year, but that one of them, Littlefield. will do much better It gave Campbell one vote and Hunt
