 FULL REALIZATION OF WAR

New York, Jan 1G,-Former Presi dent Taft alluded to Dr. Garfield I order in an address tonight at the dinner of the National Root and Shoe Manufacturers association as but "one of the disagreeable features which must result from the war, but like the good Americans that we are, we will adapt ourselves to the conditions imposed upon us by our government.
 Many of us have not fully realized that this country is at war" said Mr. Taft, Out the drastic order of Dr. Garfield in shutting down our manu- featuring plants for Q period of five days looks very much like war"

MAXIM CLAIMS PLAN ID
 MINIMIZE EXPLOSIONS
raeotIcA COOLING DEVICE HE ASSERTS DIsINTEGRATlNG OF
 CASES WOULD BE EFFECTED

Washington. Jan 16.--IIudson Max
 i'm, the inventor, today outlined to the senate ship Investigating committee plans for ship construction which he claims would minimize the effect on merchant vessels of explosions of tor pedoes by instantly disintegrating
 through a cooling procesY the gases formed by the explosions. He said he
 had sought in vain to interest the emergency fleet corporation in his
 proposal and that he cameto the com
 mittee in the hope that the govern
 ment would conduct experiments to
 determine its worth.
 His plan, the inventor said was to
 line the inside of the hulls of vessels
 with cylinders containing water with
 steel screen behind them. When the torpedo exploded the water tanks
 he said, would be hurled against the screen, atomizing the water which would disperse the heat and absorb
 the gases. A cargo such as apples potatoes and similar produce contain ing large percentage of water would serve just as effective as the tanks he said.
 MT Maxim declared that the ship
 protection executive committee had
 made an "errelevant and untrue re- port on his plan, asserting that |
 would be expensive and ineffective on ships of less than 10000 tons. He
 denied that the plan would be costly and said it would operate on ships oi 5000 or 5000 tons practically as well as on large vessels.
 Concrete ships, the inventor said offer a great advantage in combating { the submarine menace than steel or wooden ships as they give greater re- sistance and absorb heat better. A concrete hull, he said, would localize an explosion and he strongly urged construction of concrete skins for
 steel vessels.

WHEAT GROWERS PROTEST.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 10
President Wilson will be urged to
fix a minimum price of $2.46 a
bushel for No. l northern wheat or
its equivalent, Chicago delivery, by
representatives of the National
Wheat Growers association at con-
ference October 81. In a brief to
be presented to the President the
growers declare an advance in the
present fixed price is necessary be-
cause of the increased cost of pro-
duction.
Cost of production figures pre-
pared independently by trained
statisticians, the brief. which was
made public tonight, says, shows
that the 1918 wheat prices barely
cover the average cost of production
of wheat this year and will be far
below the inevitable cost OF produc-
tion of the year 1919 wheat crop. -
The wheat growers take excep-
tons to cost estimates made by the
agricultural department, declaring
that in computing them the depart
ment considered only the acreage
planted to winter wheat. IT is point
ed out that 81 per cent of the win
ter wheat planted in 1916 was aban-
doned, while of the acreage planted
last fall, more than 13 per cent wa'
abandoned.
